I am new to the Nintendo handheld market, and I was wondering if this was a good SD card for my new 3DS XL:

Seems to be really fast for its price, but the brand is not one I know and I deal with a ton of tech on a daily basis, what do you all think?

I'm pretty sure the 3ds takes Micro SD cards, doesn't it? Not positive.

I also don't know the brand either, and I know it as well... but it has excellent reviews, so it would certainly be worth taking a risk on for all of $20, to me. (Though if you're going to have savegames that you're desperate not to lose, a card reader for your PC to back it up with would also be worth another $20 to me.)

I have card readers, and that is how you transfer, and no it is not MicroSD, it is a standard sized 4GB SDHC memory card. Will it support 32GB? If you don't know I hope someone comes along who does know the maximum size it supports.

I have no idea, sorry. Consider asking nintendo support? That might be your best option.

Just did a quick search, looks like 32GB is the max that's officially supported, so you're in the safe zone.
