I'm a droid x user and I'm starting to run out of room on my 32 gig micro SD card bc I have a ton of music, I take lots if pics, and I take tons of videos. I have an upgrade soon and I was interested in the HTC Rezound, but I noticed it still only supports a 32 gig micro SD. Are there any phones out there that currently support 64 gig micro SD cards that I could upgrade to instead?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA
there are some devices that support 64gb sdxc. if you check the atrix section you will find. in theory all android should support it if one of them supports it.
seen confirmation on another site wont post the link as i am not sure as too the rules on this but they said this last september
"They might not be cheap coming in around $219 for now, the SanDisk Micro SDXC cards offer a huge storage limit of 64GB all in the size of a fingernail. After we ran the news of the new cards we quickly learned that many smartphones including the Samsung Galaxy S II, HTC Sensation 4G, ASUS Transformer tablet and more all work with 64GB MicroSDXC cards. There are also reports that they are working on many older devices for those wondering. Some include the EVO 4G, original Galaxy S, and even the HTC Desire Z (aka T-Mobile G2). With both old and new, smartphones and tablets being able to take advantage of the 64GB SD cards this is a good sign many more will have the same fate. We can only assume manufacturers didn’t state SDXC support because none were out on the market at time of launch, or maybe there are other reasons yet unknown."
quite a while ago, they also posted a screenshot
a 64gb sdxc costs around $100, last time i checked.
its arround $100 to $150
Hey All,
There are lots of mixed reviews about the support for Galaxy Tab 3 7.0. in terms for micro sd cards compatibility... Is anyone running a 64gb sd with no problems?
I am running a 16gb with no issues at all, however I have cheap 64gb which will not copy the correct data & corrupts most of the time...I believe this is due to being a rubbish quality/copy...
If there is anyone out there that is running a 64gb with no issues, please confirm the spec!
Thanks in anticipation.
The cheap 64GB card is likely counterfeit. It is probably a 16 GB card hacked to appear to be a 64 GB card. This happened to me. Bought a counterfeit Sandisk from an Amazon seller. It looked really, really, real...but I kept having issues and once the subject of counterfeits was brought to my attention, I noticed the packaging said Made in China while the card said Made in Taiwan - Sandisk doesn't make any SD cards in Taiwan. Before I realized that, I bought a cheap class 10 Samsung off of eBay, that was fake too. Buy from a reputable retailer. Google a Windows app called H2testw if you want to confirm whether your SD card is a 64 GB card.
I have a T211 and am using a 64GB card I bought at Fry's. After formatting it inside the tablet, it worked fine, although after I initially transferred ~37GB from my PC directly to the card, I put it in the tab, and from then on my PC recognizes the card as read only. But I can write data to the SD Card as long as it is inside the tab.
are 128gb cards supported?
So I just got a Kingston Class 10 64GB SDXC Card
I generally use Wifi File Transfer Pro to xfer stuff to extSd but in this tablet, its just dies down after a certain %
I thought it might be the SD card, then I inserted my Patriot Class 4 32GB card and same thing
I tried Air Droid and WTF, for both it shows ExtSD card is 11.76GB only!
Is there something wrong? or thats how kitkat is?

I haven't run into this with my nexus devices and OTG readers, but try this thread for those who have the problem using external cards. I have a TabPro 12.2 on pre-order as well as a 64GB micro card so I will definitely try the fixes if needed.

hi
I would like to know if the 128GB Micro SD Card will work on note 8 [N5120]?
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SanDisk-...Readers_USB_Host_Adapters&hash=item43c9c05b88
According to the Samsung specs for the Note 8.0 the upper limit for the micro SD card is 64GB. The 128GB cards might work (I don't have one to try) but they are not supported.
If you buy memory cards on eBay you might not have to worry about that since there are many fakes being sold there with much less than the advertised capacity. I suggest Amazon as a better source, and there are some fakes there too, but they are much easier to return.

It should work, as there has been reports in threads that 128GB SD cards work. You may find a faster type even better. I had a thread on using super fast SD cards.

I tested a few SDXC 600x and 633x cards, and found that Ultra SD cards are not that good for speeds. Extreme or Extreme Pro is the way to go.
Lexar, PNY and Samsung Pro SDXC cards are very quick but costly once you get to the 128GB sizes.

Remember that you're talking about a tablet here and not a digital camera where write speeds are much more important. Were your benchmarks run with the cards in the tablet or connected to a PC or another device?
I doubt that it will be worth the money to go for an "Extreme" micro SDXC card if he is mainly looking for more capacity for the tablet.

Includes: Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 (N5100/N5110)
And here's the SD Card Associations table of speed ratings.
According to that table an SDXC Class 10 card, which the Sandisk Ultra is, should be fine for use in the Note 8.0. Heck, we don't even have a flash for our camera.

Some don't care about speeds and can get by with a standard SD card.
For running apps from SD which many do or want video playback from HD sources, you need a fast read time. Plus if you have large backups, you can save minutes off your backup and restore times.
Just saying as I call it. Don't need to throw numbers down as they are trivial, real world walks the walk, while benchmark numbers can only talk the talk.

Whoa! I believe that term is "calling it as you see it" which is another way of saying you are expressing your opinion and you have every right to do that. :good:
I asked a simple question and you didn't even bother to answer that. Have you benchmarked the cards in this tablet or not? You brought up your testing of "ultra" versus "extreme" but never described how you did that.
A couple of years ago phones and tablets wouldn't benefit from anything faster than a class 4 SD card and I doubt that the readers in them have improved that much since then. Here's an article with advice about buying SD cards for an Android device, including what speeds are appropriate. I'm asking you to identify what the "real world" experience is going to be using the card as the OP intends, not benchmarking them with a USB 3.0 reader on a PC with Crystal Disk Mark or some similar app, versus something like A1 SD Benchmark on the Note 8.0 itself.
There's a thing called the law of diminishing returns and IMO spending a lot of money to upgrade from "Ultra" to "Extreme" may fit that. It's easy to spend someone else's money but most of us have to buy what we need and conserve it. There's one scenario where that might make sense and that's if the plan is to use the card often in a fast USB 3.0 reader on a PC to load a lot of data, like movies, and he can't afford to wait for the class 10 write speeds. Otherwise, he may wind up buying a Ferrari when he needs an Audi.
And if you want to be respected as an expert be prepared to be challenged when you are expressing opinions and not facts. That's real world.

GT-N5110 128GB MicroSD Card Compatibility Report
Hi,
I'm glad to report I successfully mounted a Sandisk Ultra 128GB MicroSDXC (exFAT) without issues in my Galaxy Note 8.0 WiFi (GT-N5110)
Note: I'm running CyanogenMod 11.0. Therefore, I can only conclude the hardware is compatible although I have no idea if the official Samsung ROM supports it.
Best regards

According to SanDisk (see link in post #7 above) the 128GB Ultra microSDXC card is compatible with the Note 8.0 so it should work with the stock ROM. Only the N5100 and N5110 models are mentioned, but the hardware and software that affects the SD card should be the same for all Note 8.0 models.

You need to go with the 128GB Sandisk Ultra microSDXC card that's been discussed throughout this thread. It's plenty fast for the Note 8.0 and AFAIK there is no "Extreme" version available in the 128GB microSDXC format at this point.

I don't know where you got that product number but these are the official SanDisk product numbers (click the specifications tab) for their microSDXC Ultra cards with adapter. Anything other than those product numbers is probably just packaging differences and I think the important part is "SDSDQU-128G".
There are a lot of fakes floating around for this card so I highly recommend purchasing from a reputable dealer with a reasonable return policy.

Slow down a sec ramjet73. -smiles- That was the number included with my purchase. Mine was bundled when I bought it 6 months ago. Since my purchase SanDisk has also changed the video spec of the cards as well. The "important" number is in fact SDSDQU-128G. For the record here is the EXACT link for purchasing the Sandisk 128gb microSD card for anyone interested. This is the EXACT microSD card latest manufacturer revision. (hopefully it posts to the forum). Buy from a reputable seller. I agree with ramjet73 - Do not buy counterfeit. You will not get the rated specs or performance.

Hope this helps.
(edit) My Model number in the original post contained "AFFP" at the end of the model number. This is a packaging identifier and refers to "Frustration Free Packaging" and is simply how the item is sold and presented to the consumer at the time of sale. The important part is the "SDSDQU-128G" number leading it and of course the SanDisk brand.

That's another full size SD card that won't fit in the Note 8.0 and I've told you how I feel about eBay so I'm not going to recommend anything from there. If you have to buy from eBay for some reason the original card you linked will work but make sure to check out the seller well and read the reviews from the buyers that have purchased memory cards. If you are sold on the idea of getting something faster than the Sandisk Ultra class 10 card you are going to have to downsize to 64GB and then there are are some "extreme" options available that are compatible with the Note 8.0.
I've already contributed what I can to your OP about the SanDisk 128GB Ultra miniSDXC card and I think the considerations and options for getting that are pretty clear now. If you want to change the scope and look at anything that's compatible with the Note 8.0 I'll leave it to the other users participating in this thread to give you advice.
Good luck!

Well, smiles or not, that's exactly the same link I included yesterday in post #5 above so I was wondering why you were contradicting that with your product number recommendation. When I Googled the product number you posted previously it seems to be something that's specific to BestBuy and not the SanDisk identifier. If you read the SanDisk press release for the Ultra 128GB microSDXC it said at that time (February 2014) that only Amazon and BestBuy would be carrying the 128GB version so that number may still be valid for BestBuy.
I've done everything I can to help in this thread and the OP seems to be sold on getting something faster than the Ultra 128GB so I'm moving on and you can make whatever recommendations you want without being questioned.
Edit: It looks like the product number you originally gave may be the Amazon identifier for "frustration free packaging" which means they take the bulk version of the card and adapter and put them in their own packing which is supposed to be easier to open and more environmentally friendly. The SanDisk part number for the card itself should be the same. That version is currently not available if you click on the frustration free packing option and the 128GB capacity on the Amazon item listing.

See previous post. I contradicted nothing. You simply weren't aware of the packaging details or that last 4 numbers in the product details. No biggie. That's why I suggested you "slow down". Don't be so quick to put others posts down or prove them wrong somehow. Maybe they aren't wrong at all. Also for the record the packaging isn't tied specifically with Best Buy. If you shop around you will find the FFP packaging other places. I purchased my SD back in February from Amazon. The exact link I shared for others.
Dear all,
I am trying to establish the max SD card I can use in my Tablet. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 (Wi-Fi) bought in the UK.
The full specs state 128G samsungcom-uk-tablets-galaxy-tab-s2-9-7-t813-SM-T813NZKEBTU but that is simply not true. I am currently using a 256G Samsung Evo Plus card (
Funnily, the Samsung US website reports something different from the UK one (samsungcom-us-support-owners-product-galaxy-tab-s2-9-7-wi-fi), namely:"External Memory/microSD™ Capacity Up to 400GB with a microSD™, up to 128GB"
I would like to expand from 256 to 400 (amazonuk-gp-product-B074RNRM2B-ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza) but ideally I have some reassurance that it will actually work in my device.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rob
also curious if anyone had luck with a 400gb card in their tab S2.
Not sure about that but I just fitted a samsung evo plus 512 G and it works perfectly
Hope it helps

Your thread title references the T810, but you asked about T813. Which one do you have?
Anyway, the max advertised SD card size id dependent on the file format that the android version with which the tablet ships with is compatible.
If you're running a custom rom of the same version as the latest stock that's available for either model, rest assured that your 400GB card is more than compatible

Assuming I'm not wrong, it supports MicroSDXC which is theoretically capable of 4TB. Obviously though no such cards exist yet. But I can say my stock and custom ROMs for my T-713 support my new 400GB card.
My wife's Galaxy Tab S2 8" is not rooted, same stock as from the factory. She has tons of pictures. Can anyone confirm a Sandisk 512 Extreme SD Micro card will work in these tablets?
I do wonder also if the units default to a certain speed where the more expensive and faster SD cards will not make a noticeable difference.
Really I am just looking for a 400gb or 512gb sd card that is reliable. She already has 248gb of pictures!
