NUC8i7BEH SanDisk Extreme 400GB A2 not recognized.

I recently purchase an Sandisk Extreme 400GB A2 Micro SD card from Amazon. It worked in my Compulab Fitlet 2 under Mint Linux, but will not work on the NUC under Mint, or CentOS 7. The OS comes back and says Error -110 which means card defective. I have re-checked with other machines and it still works fine. Is this a BIOS support issue, or other NUC hardware compatibility issue?

Card is

SDSQXA1-400G-GN6MA SKU 6 19659 16569 7.

According to the Compatibility site, the largest microSDXC that has been found compatible is 256GB. I cannot find any place where they document a maximum size, however. Intel Customer Support will need to ring in here if they know of any limitation.

So I found a slower 400GB SanDisk MicroSD card, and the nuc recognizes it just fine. Wonder if there is a diffrence, I'm sure there is. It sure would be nice to use the faster card for a staging area when backing up with Amanda etc.
