What format should my MicroSD card be? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title says, I googled alot and some say exfat is good and some say fat32 is good too im confused. What format should it be for the note 2? It is kingston 32gb class 10.

FAT32 works with pretty much everything. The big downside is it only supports files smaller than 4GB.
If you only have small files it's smart to use FAT32.
exFAT probably won't work with AOSP ROM's.

There is another similar thread in the Xoom section, but I'm thinking of sharing this information more specifically in XDA general.

Check it out, and let me know what you guys think. It's on sale at SanDisk's website at $219 but don't rush it.
Any devices supporting this?
Any Cell phone's?

I have stated in my website.
Currently there are no confirmations whether what devices support it due to the different memory interface. SanDisk doesn't provide any information as of now, so it's better to wait until the confirmation goes out for exFat systems.
I saw a post about formatting in FAT32 and it worked.
Not sure how true that is?

It is possible, but i think it does affect the system writing process. the reading speed might even be affected too.
shouldn't be too long before the 128GB cards come out
I have it and few other guys at SGS2 forum section. By default card is formated "exFat" our galaxy s2 phone can't read it, but offers to format it "fat32" takes few seconds.
After that it works perfectly fine.
Should work on any phone if formated to fat32. Hopefuly in the future we will have native exfat support.
From what I've heard Windows Phones should support 64GB microSDs without any formatting required since exFAT is Microsoft's proprietary file system. They either support them now or with the Mango update, but either way they're supported.
FROM WIKIPEDIA:
Operating system kernels, such as Linux, make no distinction between SDHC and SDXC cards, as long as the card contains a compatible filesystem.

That's the whole point exactly. I'd rather speed than storage.

Which 64gb sd?

Any tips u can give to this noob??

I have the Sandisk which is fine for me. Still don't understand that my old Nokia N97 already had 32gb whereas the superduper quadcore hype devices of today are still stuck at 16gb internal memory. These should have been at 64gb stock. Ah well...

I have a sandisk one as well (class 10 sdxc). It's rated at about 30mbps vs the normal 10mbps. Works great so far.

Try to find ones that labeled UHS-1 (or UHS-I). If you want use torrents or others extremely high IO operations buy only ones with >40MB read/write specification (actual speed will be lower), otherwise stick with those with >20MB read/write.
ADATA has UHS-1 series 45MB Read/Write
SanDisk has UHS-1 "Mobile Ultra" 20MB Read/Write and UHS-1 "Extreme" 90MB Read/Write
List of course is incomplete, and all of UHS-1 labeled card also have Class10 label (because there is no higher Class)
Other that SanDisk "Mobile Ultra" will be expensive at 64GB and hard to find..
I've read somewhere Samsung micro SD 64gb is slightly faster than Sandisk one by a few mb/s transfer speed.
Ty for your answers peep.

I recently bought a 'SanDisk microSDXC Ultra Class 10 64 GB' and am very happy with it. I even managed to watch a 1080p movie with lossless DTS sound with it recently without even the slightest problem.
I also went with the Sandisk 64gb one, I formatted it in exfat with windows 7 and its been great for movies.
Great! Do u guys have an idea where i can get 1

Exfat vs fat32

I have a class 10 SanDisk SDXC 64gb sd card atm it's on fat32 however I am quite limited with the maximum file size of 4gb.
So what are the advantages of fat32 over Exfat and vice versa?
Currently running wanamlite with perseus kernel btw

[Q] sd card format...

What format is everyone using for this tablet? I have a new SanDisk Ultra 64gb card, and I don't know if I should format to exfat or fat32...
Any advice?
Hello?
Doesn't it have to be FAT32? But in any event, if you put it in the device and it's the wrong format, the device should prompt you to reformat it automatically.
Works with exFAT. You can put larger files on exFAT over FAT32 which has a 4gb limit...
Most 64gb sd cards come pre-formatted exFAT..
Thanks!
mine Keeps rejecting the one I had in my note 2 Exfut should work though

Use your tablet to format the card. I think it will format exfat.

Good to hear. If you get an adaptor you can actually run (theoretically) up to 2 Tb sd cards. I have a 128Gb sd card attached, via a micro sd to sd adaptor, and am waiting for my 256Gb sd cards to arrive...
Got the adaptor here if interested - http://linitx.com/product/sdmicro-to-sd-card-adapter/11922

What the hell are you talking about man? The card reading aspects are not really based on hardware as you think. The larger the card, you'd need to have higher buffer + accessing speed. You can improve those by various software techniques. And most systems that say it supports 32gb can read 64 gb just fine. problem is in some rare cases there is a possibility of the card data getting corrupted and you'd have to format it in extreme cases. Generally what happens is that access is a bit slower that the card may not perform to its class4class6/class10.1 or whatsoever specified seeds.
(As far as I know).
Using 64 GB Strontium .
I ll explain all of it to u........our device , by default (atleast in MiUi 5), does not support exFat format thats generally used in 64 GB cards cuz it shows unsupported format in MiUi...solution is to format it with FAT32 (using a 3rd party tool or in phone if it permits formatting 64 GB card) . Moreover, Windows default tool wont format anything larger than 32 gig with FAT32.
Alternatively, CyanogenMod port for out phones support exFat format.....i highly recommend it over FAT32 because of 4 GB file size limitation of FAT32 . I ve seen a guy using 128 GB card with no issues .
In a nutshell, format with FAT32 for max compatibility, and use exFat if u ll store files larger than 4 GB in the card . Personally, i use exFat .
Finally, here is my card
Sent from a Walkie Talkie
The Redmi 1s boxes does state 64gb card support on the Chinese wcdma version that I have. But the usual windows format utility cannot format cards/drives >32gb. The workaround is to use 3rd party tools to format 64gb cards. But fat32 is still limited to individual 4gb file sizes.
Search for utilities by googling for "3rd party fat32 format utility" or something similar.
So i got my ans ..!! Thanx for all of users efforts with the images to prove it..!! as i knew that 1s supports 64gb cards but i just wanted to be sure before investing more 2k for card..... thank you :good:
