What is the maximum memory card that can be used in Raspberry Pi 4?

Question

USB flash drives

Good day to all.

I recently bought this miracle, Raspberry Pi 4 Model B complete with a 32GB Flash card. I took it deliberately for the hypervisor and because of its compactness. There are no problems with Proxmox, installed and everything works. But there are problems with VMWare ESXi. And there were 2 questions.

1. 32GB was not enough. I took the memory card as a set. The SanDisk Ultra 32Gb MicroSD card itself. What is the maximum size of a memory card that can be used in raspberry? Preferably from 128GB.

2. VMWare ESXi requires a USB flash drive. I have a 64GB SP, no hypervisor is installed on it. Installed only on a 16GB flash drive from another manufacturer. Here, too, then the question is, which manufacturer and what is the maximum volume that a USB flash card can be used to install a hypervisor on it? It is also desirable from 128GB.

Is there anyone here who did this? The option with HDD / SSD is unfortunately not suitable.

Thank you all in advance.

Up to 2tb in theory. https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=244295 + https://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards
A couple of user reviews of 256GB and 512GB cards are mentioned.

Raspberry is for linux... ESXI is inappropriate there... it won't survive....
The ideal option is debina\ubuntu + qemuKVM. What does proxmox actually do?
In my opinion, the max card is 128
There are no restrictions on flash drives, more precisely, it is limited only by the system)
