Does any more knowledgeable person know if this is something that will require hardware support or software support or should it just plug and play in any old microsd slot?

The device itself will work in any old slot. Unfortunately the protocols that run on top, and the filesystems that are typically stored on them, both have maximum size limits. Generally, laptops/desktops will have no trouble. Your 2002 camera on the other hand probably won't work with it...

* There is microSD from 1999, max capacity is 2GB. * Then there is the 2006 update microSDHC, max capacity was 32GB. * And since 2009 we use microSDXC, max capacity is 2TB. * In 2019, the next update came out, microSDUC, max capacity is 128TB. As far as I know there are no actual products yet. You need a reader of the same type of your card or higher. Otherwise, it might not work at all, or you can only read the first x gb of your larger card. I am not knowledgeable, but I know how to use Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SD_card#microSD https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SD_card#microSD

  The thing is that for instance my Moto-G https://www.motorola.com/us/smartphones-moto-g-power-5g/p?skuId=880 https://www.motorola.com/us/smartphones-moto-g-power-5g/p?sk... says it's supports up to 1TB, which is... none of those standards. So is this a situation where they're using 1TB because that's what currently exists as-of time of that website being written or is this a situation where no one actually bothers to implement the whole standard? That's why I was asking.

    When the Nokia N900 was the new thing, it was specced to support 16 GB MicroSD cards, which is, again, none of the standards. They did it because, at that time, there were no actual 32 GB cards on the market, so they could not test the support. De-facto, 32 GB cards worked.

    I really don't know, but I _suspect_ it will accept 2TB cards. I had the same with a _much_ older device, which accepted 2gb, even tho it said otherwise.
