    ok! but when you have one adapter with little flash (In my case, dual micro sd to memory stick adapter) and this flash limit the size of the memory to 104gb (you can use more micro sd size), but flash only show 104gb, what I can do?? Because I used two micro sd with 128gb (256gb total) and the adapter only shows 104gb..... any ideas?? Thank you @Tony Teaches Tech
