if you can format them using fdisk you can use them so ... up to 2TB IIRC
which you will not find yet so hwo much can you afford

SD-cards up-to and including 32GB you can use as is, but 64GB and above cards normally come formatted as exFAT from which a PI cannot boot, so they have to be re-formatted to FAT32, at least if you want to use them with NOOBS, if you image them with an imaging program like DD, the formatting doesn't matter as it simply writes to the sectors of the card, and expands the Linux partitions afterwards.
