I don't know the max but 128GB functions just fine for me.

Are you asking about the microSD slot, or USB connection.
I have multiple 8TB drives attached via USB to my U9H. On my phone (android 10) I have a 512GB microSD card installed.

Neither of these are the MINIX NEO U22-XJ !

Just tested the use of a SanDisk 200GB card in a U22 for you, (after springing it across the room twice trying to get it in the slot with my ham fists
)........So far, so good
. Seems fine. (Write speeds are a little random & variable (up/down) at times moving larger amounts of data but nothing serious. Having said that, the app itself in use to move the data may also play a part there too.)200GB is the largest card I have available here, can't test any higher I'm afraid!

Enjoy the device & at least you now know MINIX have tested full support for cards up to 256GB as well
.(Sometimes larger capacity cards than a manufacturer states will work but obviously there won't be any guarantees. It might work, it might not.)

I agree, neither are U22. My point was that the U9H could see an 8TB HD, so I would expect no less from the U22 and that Android itself will support at least 512GB, so any less is not due to Android, but to a limitation in the minix hardware.
The microSD slot is not the same as connecting a (full sized) SD card through a USB adapter and the max capacity may also be different.
I am still waiting for my U22 to arrive.

Just FYI
!!Until you've tested the compatability of your specific external HDD's, or any other hardware or peripherals you personally plan on connecting, (or as the OP has prudently done by asking someone else to actually help test/check the facts for them beforehand)....... IMH(umble)O, I wouldn't make any hard assumptions that something will immediately work with the U22 (which you've yet to experience) just because it previously worked with your U9-H, a U1, or even your other various Android devices
!!I can see why your thought process would immediately lead you to have such expectations based on the previous flagship MINIX products, & of course MINIX themselves actually labelling the U22 as the successor to the U9-H too, (as the U9-H was to the U1).
However, while they're still all intended to be "Android media hubs", the U22 is quite a different device to its predecessors really. (The significant differences between Android 9 when compared to 6 too notwithstanding.) Yes, the U22 still shares some common features with the previous MINIX Android media hubs & there are some obvious themes/similarities that MINIX have wanted to retain, but it really is quite a different device when you stand it up in direct comparison to the U9-H alone, or even the U1!!
Hopefully your device will arrive in the not too distant future. You can then directly experience everything for yourself, (& hopefully all of your existing hardware will also immediately function without any undue problems too

Whatever you do. Don't invest in expensive fast SD cards. High Speed is not implemented. Write to SD will not exceed 25Mb/s anyway.
