Then please explain why all manufacturers leave (1 till 2) /1000 of the capacity at the beginning unpartitioned and only then partition the rest with FAT32/exFAT - the better quality brands take a higher value.
Kobo doesn't follow this - and the interesting thing is: SDs from defective Kobos work great again after they have been repartitioned according to the above guidelines.
