Up to 32 gb.

What is the capacity of your SD card? I know the maximum SD card size for the AirSense 10 is 32 GB, as that is the formatting required. Any SD card you buy with a capacity of 2 GB - 32 GB should come formatted as FAT32. I think the S9 has the same size requirement.

Today I spoke with a Resmed rep about a sd card for a Resmed S9 Autoset, and she said any sd card under 8 GB could be used.

again, does no one read past the first post?

I asked about this recently, all I had on hand was a larger capacity SD card. GrumpyHere shared BlueDragon's advice to get it to work:

If I recall correctly, a ResMed machine will simply ignore a 64 GB card and write no data to the card.

The easiest solution is to delete the 64GB partition on the SD card, create a new 31GB partition, and format the partition as FAT-32. On Windows, you can do that from Disk Management.

Sure, you are giving up half the space on the card but it is never going to be used anyway on a CPAP machine. Even a 4GB card will hold years of data.

Disk Management did not give me the option to format as FAT32, but I was able to do it through the command line. I'm not real confident with computer stuff but I can follow directions if someone tells me what to do step by step, so I carefully followed the directions for Solution 5. Format Corrupted SD Card Using CMD on this page https://www.easeus.com/partition-master ... -card.html and it worked fine, I've been using the card several nights now.

PS Thanks, Grumpy!

You too are helping by adding another layer of info on how to format the SD card.
