Yes, apparently the larger than 32 GB SD card will work without a problem on the AirSense 11 model machines.

BUT....those of you with the AirSense 10 models....anything over 32 GB and the machine has a problem with it and you will have to repartition the SD card. Extra work. No one likes extra work especially when it's not needed.

There is zero sense in going out and buying the biggest SD card you can find because the machine actually doesn't write huge massive files to the card anyway. Even if it didn't erase the old files after a set time frame....it simply won't ever need those more expensive huge SD cards in terms of capacity.

To give you an example...years ago with my first AirSense 10 machine it came with the ResMed standard 2 GB SD card.
I used that machine for nearly 2 years and it didn't overwrite anything...and then I got a chance to sell it and get myself an AirCurve 10 machine. That 2 GB original card wasn't even 1/3 full. I figured I could have gotten 5 years worth of data on that 2 GB card.

So if you have a larger card laying around and already paid for....by all means use it but there is zero need to go buying one of those fancy higher capacity cards.

But it is your money to do with as you please.
