I just picked one of these up. So far so good. I was wondering if anyone else had and what there experience has been with this card. Speeds and so forth.

64gb? For what, full length movies? 150$ ? I have seen class 10 (isn't that the fastest) 32gb for as low as $35.99 on Amazon. I'm interested to see if anyone is using these as well....
I bought it for the space. Movies and music. I know I could have picked up a class 10 cheap but I was more interested in the space.
Many people need 32gb or 64gb because they have lots of music. 2 years ago it was alot harder to fill up a phone's sd card. Today how ever if you take a couple hundred pictures a couples 20minute videos and you have used several GB of data. Throw in your entire music collection and a 32gb sd cards maxxed already

So far so good with mine, had it for about 3 or 4 weeks now. I'm using it for all of my Spotify/local music needs as well as the massive amount of pictures I take. Speeds always seem to hover around 6 mb/s write and 8 mb/s read (measured every once in awhile with SD Tools).
The first time I loaded this card into my phone it wasn't recognized right off the bat (never happened with any of my other microsd cards), but a quick format fixed that.
I didn't know that are phones would take a 64GB card. I thought it would max out at 32?

officially no it cant
unofficially you bet your donkeys rear end it can!!!
That is awesome!!! Can't wait to get one
I have one, but can only seem to get it recognized with a FAT32 partition which kind of sucks because FAT32 is limited to max 4GB per file (which means no 720p/1080p movies loaded on this thing). My Asus Transformer Prime also has one of these, but the Prime supports NTFS so I can go hog wild on file sizes.
no offense, but do you REALLY care about watching a 1080p movie on a 4 inch screen?

No, but I do REALLY care not having to wait several hours while the movie re-encodes to a smaller resolution and/or split file that can fit on my phone. And you do realize the Epic 4G touch has HDMI out which outputs to TV quite well, right?
I got mines last week
but the write speed is soo slow
I get about 2mb write speeds on my stock rooted ET4G Ek02
I formatted the card directly thru the phone
could the slowdown be because I rooted?

With an MHL adapter. I might get one for my transformer prime as it has a micro hdmi port on the side. I use google music on my phone so I don't have any use. And even if I do cache with Google music, the damn app defaults to the built in memory.

i finally have a bluray drive so now i can actually rip my blurays to watch on android, but every rip i've acquired has usually been 6-8GB, with one exception. one was only 2.5GB, and it was still over 2 hours.
so i know it's possible to get 720p mkvs below 4GB to be able to work on the GNEX, but i'm just curious if anyone knows how.
i'd much rather get a straight answer then spend the next week trying to guess and having my laptop do nothing but that.
so does anyone know of a program and/or settings that will do a 720p bluray rip at under 4Gb, and preferably around 2.5-3GB. i'd prefer a free program, but i'll gladly pay for one if it can do this.
also, if it could convert my existing ones, that would be a plus, but not required.
Well, first of all, mkv is just the wrapper. I tells me nothing about what you're doing to encode the video, and what codec you're using. H.264 or VP8 are codecs. Both are very feature rich and allow you to encode at whatever bitrate you want to. Whatever program you're using the rip the blu-rays should have an option to re-encode at a defined bitrate, unless it literally strips the disc bit-for-bit and dumps it on your C: drive. However, that type of program creates a disc image, which doesn't come in the form of a mkv, so you're using something more complicated, which again, should have bitrate controls.
Keep in mind that bit-rate is related to picture quality. A high bit rate will be an almost pixel-perfect copy of the source material. A low bit-rate will look like a video cassette tape (i.e. crap). The key is to test a bit to find the lowest bit-rate which you find acceptable, and use that.
This explanation is vastly simplified. This is a complex field that cannot be explained properly in 3 paragraphs. However, a good starter app, once you strip the DRM, is Handbrake.

Have you tested any files larger that 4GB? I know with my Xoom that I could copy files over that were larger than 4GB as long as it was to the internal storage. I'm testing an 8GB file now, will post results when I'm finished.
EDIT: Successfullycopied over and played an 8.2GB MKV file.
@atntdude: i haven't done anything yet. thats why i wanted to ask, i wanted to know what to do before wasting my time guessing.
@herman76: and idea, but since i've seen full movie mkvs in perfect 720p quality at 2.5Gb, i'd rather do that.
@dawnynkoop: since i only have a 16GB nexus (13.3GB available) i can't store any mkv that big, so i've had to resort to using an OTG cable, and my nexus is unable tor read NTFS formatted drives, and without NTFS, no files over 4GB. I find it strange that somehow you were able to get it to work on your Gnex since it dosn't use NTFS.

Do you have the "Drive Mount" app by Dwayne Hoy available in the Market? If so that will allow you to access NTFS formatted drives. NTFS isn't the only filesystem that will allow files larger than 4GB, it's just one of the only Windows filesystems that will, along with EXFAT. In Linux I believe the EXT4 filesystem allows files larger than 4GB which I'm guessing is what the Nexus is formatted in.

This^
The Galaxy Nexus uses EXT4 for its internal "SD CARD" pseudo-partition. Hence you CAN copy files over that are larger than 4GB.
I know the OG Transformer can use NTFS formatted SD cards now since 3.2 came out. That allows larger files as well. If you still want to shrink them a good free program is Handbrake. It is a CPU hog though.

There is no "perfect 720p quality", unless you are referring to uncompressed 720p video, in which case there is no hope to fit a full length movie onto the Nexus. Yes, movies are compressed even on Bluray. 720p is 720p, it's just the resolution, bit-rate is really what matter for size and quality. Lower bit-rate is more acceptable on a 4.65" screen than a 46" screen. If you have a 720p movie in less than 2.5GB, take a look at what compression standard that file uses (H.264?) and at what bit-rate, and use that to encode your HD movies.

you could also try to format your usb flash drive to ext4 format and find a ext4 driver for windows. ext4 has no 4gb file limitation.

A couple hrs ago I watched a very Harold and Kumar Christmas mkv file it was only 577mb. Picture was crisp, and the audio was loud. When I get around my mhl I will see if the quality holds up when streaming from my phone to tv.

i'll give this app a shot. i was under the impression from the stick mount app that unless the phone/rom had built in NTFS support it wouldn't work. still, doubt it'll work with my hard drive though. phone doesn't seem to have enough power to run that but i'll give it a shot.
and you are right about the phones file system, did not realize that. But even then, i only have 8GB free. and most of the movie mkvs i have are 6-7. but if this app works with ntfs, i can use one of my 32gb flash drives. and i'll never need more than a couple movies at a time, if i need more than that i'll have my hard drive and transformer.

bad choice of words. i know it can't be perfect, but good enough to watch without being able to really see a difference, and the one that i have seems that good. watched it a couple times now. do you know what program i can use to see what the statistics of the video is? nothing i have seems to show me that.

I'm serious about my portable music and am trying to find the best combination of Xperia phone and SD to match an iPod Classic in file transfer speed and audio quality but I'm mostly concerned with data transfer for now.
I'm using a class 4 32GB Sandisk and want to shoot myself :crying:
My iPod Classic laughs at the speed. :crying:
Anyone using a Class 10 or any kind of Ultra SD? How's that going? Do you own/owned any portable music devices like an iPod to compare with? All I know is my Classic can transfer at least 1 song per second, usually more, with over 32GBs of music that's great or if just transferring my newest 30 songs. With my class 4 SD in my Xperia it takes about 4-5 seconds per song and I would prefer to bounce it off the wall :fingers-crossed: :good:
I'm planning to get the Xperia Sola and upgrading my SD, (upgrading headphones after that) but I'm just looking for feedback?

Use a microSD USB adapter or SDcard adapter to get 10Mb/s, if I do use the usb cable the speed is like 2mb/s
I use a Samsung Class 10 32GB SD and the speeds are very Good.

I don't get it. What's so bad about class 4 microSD cards? I use Sandisk 16GB Class 4 aswell, I don't cry about lag, because I don't have it. Transferring songs isn't that slow, I don't do it often either so no problems with it.
Or is it just that people keep wanting more and more?

Is it just that people don't read entire posts?
As I posted above already, the issue is that I've been using various dedicated media devices for years which have consistently performed at far higher data transfer speeds. I'll say it again:
I have 32GB of music, if I transfer with an Apple device it transfers at least 1 song per second. For a large music collection, it does this very quickly as you can see. If I'm transferring the newest 20 or 30 songs in my collection, it does that in about 30 35 seconds.
If I asked my last phone or my current Android phone to do this, it takes about 4-5 seconds to transfer ONE song (or podcast). Whether it's a few minutes for just a few songs, or a few hours to transfer my whole collection, it's terrible performance and tedious.
Which brings me to my question about data speeds. I'm sure someone suggested before that it could be partly Apple cables being designed for optimum transfer speeds. I completely forgot about SD classes though, and I found the Sandisk Class 10 Ultra transfer up to 30mbps. I checked on eBay and they are not that expensive - about €30 for for 32GB. I'll get that soon and report back!
p.s. I just asked Sony about this and they said they've tested classes 2 and 4 with their phones and said that a class 10 will likely not work with their phones so not to purchase! Hmm. Mind you, many people here have bought 64GB SD cards when Sony said 32GB is the highest that you should use. I'll find someone here using a class 10!

One of the problems - the chip. Phone's motherboard and it's transfer speed. It takes a longer 'distance' for the data to travel - from the computer, through the cable, through the chip, onto the SD.
Apple devices don't use SD cards, they have built-in memory chips, which have a lot faster r/w speeds, also they use the full max speed of USB 2.0(35 megabytes per second), microUSB has a bit lower rate of speed, and certain compression to transfer faster, which doesn't happen on other devices.
On the internet, there are sometimes written only maximum speeds(like you said - up to). The Class shows only minimum speed, Class 10 having minimum of 10 MB/s for write operation.
Android devices are not the same as Apple. Everything can't be the same, because it has been built different.
And FYI, I did read the whole post.
Thank you very much for explaining that :fingers-crossed: - that was exactly the extra kind of detail I wanted to understand the technology better - which in turn allows me to make better purchases.
What is roughly speaking, the best performance you can achieve with Android using an SD? What is the best performance a micro-USB can provide? On my new laptop, I made sure to get a USB 3.0 port but I'm guessing I won't be able to use that with Android until compatible devices are released. Devices with on-board storage as large as I'd like are uncommon and very expensive, so SD it is. Would a class 10 SD be the best you could get? I would be happy with a slight decrease in Apple-type performance, but 1 song every 4-5 seconds is too bad. Essentially, what I'm trying to do is to integrate my phone and media player in one device, without paying a fortune for an iPhone.
I just found this thread with some of the same intention: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674373

A 32GB Class 10 SDHC is the largest and fastest kind of SD card compatible with Arc/Arc S. Some people have had luck with larger cards, but officially SDXC isn't supported on 2011 Xperia phones.
Phones currently don't support USB 3.0 as they don't have the processing power or data bandwidth to support USB 3.0 transfer speeds. You're hard pressed to find anything that maxes out USB 2.0 apart from dedicated storage - the two devices that exceed USB 2.0 speeds that I own are an external hard drive and a card reader that I use with high-speed CompactFlash. I usually get 10MB/s writes using this with my Class 10 MicroSD.
To be honest, trying to write at high speeds through the phone's system is an exercise in futility - just get a good card reader, it doesn't have to be a USB 3.0 model (which are usually rather expensive and aimed at photographers) as SDHC maxes out around 10-12MB/s writes anyway.
I got a 32 GB class 10 card with my phone when I got it. I move all apps to SD as much as possible, and also listen to a lot of music. I also take a lot of pictures and videos. So for me it was just calculated in as part of the cost of the phone when I bought it - it was a no-brainer.

Well I have the same card, and I never managed to cross 7MB/s, with large files, music or videos. Not on my old system, not on my new system. Not on Windows XP, not on Ubuntu, not on Windows 7. Not on 6 different USB ports on my old system, and not on 8 USB ports on my new system. Two different USB cables are tested also.
So I'm really curious to know how could anyone manage to get 15MB/s with this phone.
Do you mind to post screenshot while transferring data at 15MB/s?

Ok, i dont know if all you are really using Original Sony USB cable or one chinese and cheaper, due to a posible damage on original one, i only posted for info.
Check write/read speed, tested with Antutu benchmark.
Like I said earlier, card is SanDisk class 10, 16GB.
I'm using 32 GB Ultra High Speed (UHS-I) microSD, works fine
also i've got cute micro adaptor with it for fast downloading from PC
my AnTuTu scores 5624
Just saw the new microsd cards rated at class 10 with UHS-1. I know these have been out for just a bit but how many people are actually using these cards? Any success stories or most noticable differences that outway the cost?
"Get faster app performance and advanced photo and video capture for Android™ powered or other smartphones and tablets with SanDisk's Ultra 64GB microSDXC UHS-I Card. With speeds up to 30MB/s and highest available Class 10 speed rating and UHS Speed Class 1 (U1) for recording uninterrupted Full HD video, it's the perfect choice to store your mobile life."
UHS-I is the fastest category of card available today with a bus interface speed of up to 104 MB/s.
Anyone rockin' these?
I've had a UHS-1 64GB microSDXC since it was publicly available. I have a hard-on for extra storage and it's great - It's extremely fast when transferring files and because of exFAT, I can store 1080p 5GB+ movies on it. It's pretty amazing. I do a lot of movie/tv watching with MHL and just on my phone and it works very well. I'm almost full though...
Related story: I have a friend who works at SanDisk who was able to snag one of their prototype 2TB microSDXC's for $1,500. Sadly, they won't be available for consumer purchase for a few years but it still works on his International SGS3. I'll ask him for pictures of the card and a screenshot of the storage space next time I can contact him and put them up in a new thread here.

I never asked him about the read/write speeds of it. All he showed me when he came to my house was that he had the card (it was unlabeled except for texting saying 'SANDISK' and 'A-053' under it) and when he put it in the phone, it said 1996.4GB available in settings>storage. I think if I can ask him to take a video and send it to me and then I secretly upload it to youtube, I'll get a lot of views.

So sad :crying:.. I'll keep dreaming. That brings me to the question of how the heck do you do that? I want to freak out my coworkers ahahah.
Edit: Googled it, could be up to 300mbps, not 30. Also, it should be noted, that was from an article from 2009 that also said that they were, "coming soon." lol.
I believe the current speeds on the 2TB cards are 30mbps data transfer. I just wonder what the price is going to be when they're introduced to the general public. I'm not sure how much I'd be willing to pay...
Look at it this way: If, in a year or two, a 2TB microSD and the PS4 is released, and they're the same price...
I'll be playing my PS4.

When I get my Note2 I am immediately going to buy SanDisk 64GB MicroSDXC Mobile Ultra.
But the salesman told me that 64GB don't work very well with smartphones. I did quick search and saw some SIII user having issues with their 64GB card (Showing files on computer).
Is it true? I highly doubt the salesman knowledge of smartphones but I don't want to waste money on expensive card.
It must work with note2 as it perfectly works with s2...

Everything is a guess at this point. Just make sure you buy a retail SanDisk card, not a knockoff...hard to tell these days. And that it's formatted in a specified file format.
I've been using a 64GB on the Galaxy S and SII Skyrocket without problems for some time now. It's just a little slow.

No dice on two separate 64GB SDXC cards in my GSIII, both real deals from Amazon, a solution I read was to format it with a PC to FAT32 but my intention was HD content (i.e. 4GB+) so that was a no go. Now I have two 32GB SDHC cards which work perfectly. YMMV
It is quiet simple. That may be work or not...... I also saw few cases where 64 gb card not work perfectly.
Specs for the Note 2 on Samsung site say it will officially support 64gb sd card where I think most other phones only support 32gb but can still work with 64gb, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Also 128gb would be a really nice match to that quad core and 2gb ram.
Samsung claims the S3 supports 64GB cards formatted as exFAT, but it, in fact, does not. Unless they corrected the issue with the Note 2, you have to format your 64GB card as FAT32. It will still work, but you lose some significant advantages by doing so. As far as I know, Samsung has not acknowledged the issue.
I am using a 64gb SanDisk micro SDXC in my Galaxy Note I as a type. I did have to use a special program to format it into Fat32 though, because my windows 7 PC didn't allow me to format it as Fat32. The name of the program eludes me at the moment, but I will post it again once I remember.
Why woold you ever listen to a sales rep?

This tool is helpful because the quick format is disabled in Windows for anything over 32GB (GUI shows nothing and command prompt only allows complete format, which is really slow).
This tool will save you time, as it allows for quick formatting of 32GB+ MicroSD cards in Windows.

SD card
64 gb card works great.
Good lord, so much poor information in this thread.
Firstly, the S3 DOES work with exFAT formatted 64GB micro SDXC cards, Samsung explicitly added support for exFAT with specific drivers for it (check Supercurios Voodoo Report breakdown for further confirmation). That's why Samsung said that it works with cards up to 64GB in their official announcement, where they have not said that before (even though all their phones work with the 64GB cards when formatted to Fat32).
I have used one in my International S3 for a couple of months since release, and now in my AT&T S3 for something like a month without any issues whatsoever. There are some people who had issues, but it's not clear what the cause is as far as I'm aware.
Even if exFAT support is not offered the Note 2 will work with Fat32-formatted 64GB cards. I have no doubt whatsoever about that - they have worked in every device I've ever tried them in when formatted to Fat32. That's more than a dozen devices now including Symbian handsets, and Android devices running on Froyo and every version of the OS since then: http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed.html. They have been confirmed working in various feature phones even.
If anyone is still in doubt I will post confirmation with my Note II when it comes early October (or earlier if Samsung have their release event here in NZ before then).
Size doesn't matters
In fact size doesn't matters (that's what she said... wait, no... )
I have a 128 GB SDcard perfectly working on my note 1 with an microSD<>SDcard adapter, because FAT32 formatted (I never tried exFAT filesystem, I don't know how classical linux OS handle it)
So I'd say as long as you stick with the old Fat32, it will be alright !
(the system seems to be quite ok with it, except that it takes a while when rebuilding the database for music... Because of the 95+ GB of it.
I know that there is a size limitation in windows when formating in FAT32 system, but this limitation doesn't exist in linux, and I have used Hardrives of 1 TB fat32 formatted under linux and windows without any problems, except this 4GB file size limitation...
Boujou bien!:laugh:
Couple of questions for 64gb card users:
1. How much time does it it take to fill up the card with music files?
2. How much time does it take for the Note 2 to scan the database?
Thanks in advance

In relation to your second question:
Media scanning (after the initial one) doesn't take too long - much better to use something like PowerAMP that has its own separate library though. For one thing PowerAMP can read tags properly, and secondly you can exclude your music folder from the stock app so the system doesn't index it.

Thanks again man!.
Actually i was settling for Player Pro since it's my idea to keep on using my iTunes generated smart playlists which are based on the last played criteria and rating. Hence Player Pro / iSynchr looked well suited for that task.
Do some research on Power Amp but it's my intention to stay away from any digital sound processing which seems to be Power Amp strongest suit. I'd want it keep the signal path as simple as headphone out + UM3x.
I bought that exact card, hopefully I will get it later today. EXCITED.

Fair point, I'm almost always listening through a DAC so sound processing doesn't bother me, I like a lot of the other features from PowerAMP. Sounds like you're all set though!
I'm looking to buy a Sandisk Ultra either 32gb or 64gb (was looking for 64 but now I'm having second thoughts).
Since 64gb exFAT seems a no-go and FAT32 is very inefficient for such a "large" drive... can I format a 32gb microSD in exFAT and so take advantage of that file system in my Note2? Thans in advance for the answer, I'm buying on Monday and need to make a choice =)
i got just that 64gb card and it works flawless.
