Not true. FAT32 should be able to go up to 2TB. I'm currently using (not just spouting off garbage info here) a 64GB drive in my FR-S, formatted in FAT32. I also have a 128GB drive formatted in FAT32 that I use in my Fiio X5. Trust me, it works, it's easy to do. You just have to use a formatter like "guiformat" that I mentioned before, or have an MP3 player like my Fiio X5 that will format them to FAT32. If you just try to do it in Windows, it will only let you use NTFS or exFAT in drives 64GB or larger, but this is just Microsoft setting a limit, not a limitation of FAT32 itself.
I've been doing this for years in cars and MP3 players that "only" support up to 32GB USB drives and/or microSD cards. Just use "guiformat" or a similar tool (I have an old one made by Panasonic that's basically the same thing) and you can give a virtual middle finger to Microsoft and "the man" at the same time.
