Tab S 10.5 and >128 GB MicroSD Support? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Long time reader, possibly first time poster, and I had the following doubt:
SanDisk released a 200 GB card earlier this year and I saw they recently made 256 GB version and I was wondering if anyone had confirmed that the Galaxy Tab S supports MicroSD greater than 128 GB?
Has anyone tried one of these 200 GB or 256 GB MicroSDs in their Tab S yet?
Thanks in advanced!

Check this link, it's for Tab Pro but specs are almost same as Tab S.

According to the links below as long as the card has SDXC on it, it should be compatible, My Samsung 128GB has SDXC I on it, you can now get SDXC II , the I or II is supposedly the card speed, like class 1, 4, 10 on the older SDHC cards.
You can now get 512GB MicroSD but they will be very expensive.

I doubt the controller in the Tab S is capable of handling a 512gb card.
I think it'd be a push at 256gb. As far as I'm aware the specs say 128gb is the max.
I may be wrong or confused with another device so don't take it as gospel.

Yeah GSMArena, Samsung and PhoneArena all say 128 GB but that was at a time where 128 GB was max., kinda like how the S7 advertises support up to 200 GB (max. Size in existence at the time) only for Samsung to release a 256 GB the following week.
Anyhow, will have to try it and report back. Worst case I pass the SD card onto another device.
Will report back with the results.
Thanks for the replies.

It would best to find the actual spec sheet of the controller as that would give proper info.

I can confirm the Tab worked flawlessly with a 200 GB Sandisk.

First SDXC card unveiled. Anybody working on a driver?

So, it looks like there's already a SDXC card. It's 32GB and read/write speed can hit 50MB/s. Not too shabby. Anyway, I was just wondering if anybody knows about any work being done on a driver for this; either by HTC or a third party.

I'm sure there is work being done, but not for any devices currently in existence. SDXC is not compatible with SD/SDHC devices.
Current expectations are for SDXC devices to begin hitting the market around the first of the year, according to CNET.
Which, of course, is a vast conspiracy aimed directly at me, since I was planning to get a Touch Pro 2 just about that time of year, and within 6 months HTC will come out with an SDXC-capable device.
doies this mean the 32 gb sdhc has been cancelled

FYI, 32GB SDHC cards are already in existance, however, I am guessing that you mean 32GB microSDHC cards. In that case...
If you recall, 4GB preSDHC cards never got made by major manufacturers when the SDHC spec came out (even though 4GB was the theoretical preSDHC max). However, small manufacturers did make the 4GB cards and they were easily obtainable on eBay. I infact have a 4GB miniSD from back them.
I would guess that even if the major manufacturers do the same, that is skip over 32GBmicroSDHC cards, the gap will be filled by smaller manufactuers looking to make a buck.
no ui was just wondering
id heard report on a 32 and 128 gb micro sdhc cards

32GB has always been proclaimed as the theoretical limit to SDHC, as I understand it - in the sense that it might be possible to create that much storage on one, but no had done it yet, so it's not proven. However, more than 32GB is not possible with the SDHC standard, so if you heard reports of 128, it was likely referring to SDXC.
I image that once SDXC hits the market, SDHC probably won't have much more than 4 or 5 years of practical life left in it as device makers migrate exclusively to the more advanced technology - rather like you don't see many floppy drives anymore.

128GB micro sd memory card

Hi, does anyone know when microsd 64GB memory card will be in the market?
I'm assuming from the title you wanna know when a 128 sd card will be released as far as I know the galaxy s3 only supports cards up to 64gb (someone feel free to correct me) and they're out now.

Android support memory card up to 2TB (2000GB) so 128 GB is no problem for SGS 3

128GB cards will work, as to when they'll hit the market who knows. I'm hoping no later than October-ish this year, which would be one year after the 64GB cards. I will get one at release regardless of cost and confirm they are working in various handsets for everyone. Cannot come soon enough for me, had my 64GB since a few days after they were released and just not adequate for my needs.
The Galaxy SII Skyrocket is only rated to handle a 32GB microSD card, but easily works w/64GB microSD cards also.
So I'd be willing to bet the SIII would do just fine with a 128GB card.
My wallet on the other hand... :silly:

Really enjoy(ed) your S3 review(s) and from your connectivity tests I can believe you would welcome a 128 (or bigger) microSD :fingers-crossed: .

uhs is only supported if the card reader supports this feature, sandisk also mention about this.
you can still use the same card in a non uhs compliant reader, but will only get the class 10 specification and speed.

It would be handy for people that want to play blurays either on their phone or through the HDMI out. Or for audiophiles that listen to lossless audio which takes up around 10 times the storage (which sound absolutely AMAZING with the wolfson DAC and voodoo). Or maybe they just want to never run out of storage?
A 32 gb card will only hold around 100-150 lossless songs, and an avg size mp3 you could have around 1000-1500. A HQ bluray rip avg size is around 8gb, which can only be played on SDXC because regular cards aren't formatted to allow playback of files over 4gb.

your screenshot is showing your internal memory test. If you want to test external memory then you have to pick /sdcard/external_sd instead.
To respond to OP: I got mine from Amazon, cost me 54 EUR for SanDisk UHS class1, class 10, XC I 64gb. 32gb Sammy MicroSD HC class 10 is performing a bit better for me (just a slight bit) but lacks the space, and SanDisk one is performing as a beauty here.
ps: if in need of my screens for test on Sandisk, let me know.
Is it worth getting a 64gb card for sg2?
I ask as I've seen many reviews tgat say data can be wiped as it's not suitable.
I'm in the market for a card though can't decide if 64gb would be overkill, but at same time would negate deleting old files vids etc I may need later...
Sandisk seems the way to go, any thoughts?

Depends on your need for storage space. I had 12Gb of music on 32GB one and photos and vids just zeroed it, let alone apps/games on it. I have no problem with 64GB now. I guess, it's each to his own. And if it is going to be self_wiped, then it will be my loss there, but I don't see any problem at this time, nor my microsd performs bad or has glitches.
Having SanDisk only for a month now, I can say I'm pleased how it's performing in terms of speed and stability. I can't predict what comes next but I never had any microsd breaking on me, or any problems in the past (had from 2 t o64GB microsd from SanDisk, Samsung etc... over 4 years time span).
Hope this helps a bit.

Owner of SGS2 here (visible in my sig.): If you pick /sdcard on SGS2 it's measuring internal storage (16GB one), if you change it to /sdcard/external_sd, then it's testing external microsd card. Dunno what SGS3 does and what not, it's on ICS as a base...
Got an Sandisk Micro SDXC with 64 GB and its working in my HTC HD2 and my Galaxy S2, too. But I got it formatted with FAT32 don`t know if Ex-Fat is working. Price was 58 Euro in Germany 1/4 year ago. Im on German 4.0.4 Stock Rom without Root.

I just bought a sandisk 64gb sdxc. Can't wait for it to be delivered!!! $60 AUD on Shoppingsquare, which i think is good value
And now for my 2cents worth:
Is 64gb an overkill?
Yes, but that's what I said about my 16gb card 2 years ago, and now I have no space.
Besides, i envisage apps, music, videos to get bigger as it gets better in quality.
e.g. with 64gb i can afford to have lossless audio.
Also, I have now in my room, 1gb, 2gb, 4gb, 8gb micro sd card.
I probably would have spent less money if I upgrade to a much higher capacity each time.
not to mention they are now just sitting there being wasted.
Usb adapters, lik SanDisk one, FTW / then you have a "switchable" USB key...
I don't have any wasted microSDs at all, but still has 2 x 4gb, 1 x 8 gb and 1 x 16gb micros's...
Gonna put in an order for one of these. Thanks for advice!

Hi,
Storage media of any type does not 'self-zero' itself. When it is full it stops you from writing data. Think about it: Would Sandisk still be in business if it did?
A likely reason your Sd card are self-zero'ing is because you bought a counterfeit card from a shop like Amazon or Ebay.
This is very common.
What happens? The fraudster buys cheaper 4 Gb SD Cards. He then modified the SD card firmware so that it reports to the operating system that the card is actually 32Gb. The O/S formats the card (typically a quick format by writing a few blocks at the start of the card) and you start coping the data across. Regretfully when you cross the 4 Gb limit of the card you end up writing no where. Seems that the data is simply zeroed or another error appears.
There are numerous of reports about this on Amazon.
Solution:
Don't buy SD cards from Ebay.
If you buy from Amazon then ensure that you buy from Amazon and not the Amazon MarketPlace.
Finally: If it is too cheap, then there may well be something amiss ;P
Also, I have now in my room, 1gb, 2gb, 4gb, 8gb micro sd card.
I probably would have spent less money if I upgrade to a much higher capacity each time.
not to mention they are now just sitting there being wasted.
Problem
i buy de sandisk 64gb and when i tranfer files from mi pc to the sd card i got slow tranfer speeds (around 5-6 mb/s). The sd is in fat32 that possibily affects the perfomance?, when i do sd speed test from the play store i got 13mb/s write and 30mb/s read.
Also i cant achive mounting correctly on ntfs with the app from the marquet ntfs mounter which is in xda

Theoretically we should be able to use up to a 2tb sd card, if one existed. As long as it says sdxc or sdhc on it it will work.
sdhc is 4 to 32gb and 64+ is sdxc format. 128gb is sdxc...
For people prefering a specific model name: I just inserted a SanDisk Ultra 128GB (one of the current black ones: SDSQUNC-128G-GZFMA), formatted it in the tablet and am now having over 100GB space (what should I ever put on there...? )

I have music, videos and work files not to mention pictures... I have around 4 - 5 gb free most of the time but find it VERY easy to fill up.
I also have rom images too and a backup of my device so it is easy to fix if things go wrong...
I use a Samsung Evo 128gb sd card.
On a side note, if you do get Kingston cards be aware that at one time there were "128gb sd cards" floating around but they said sdhc on them, NOT sdxc. These are fakes... As I said above, anything 64gb and above are sdxc...
It does work!

I will be using it in a note 3 though

Micro SD Card compatability?

I know, this is probably a silly question, but am I the only one that notices how devices only tend to label compatibility with Micro SD cards based on size, and not speed or class? For instance, my Galaxy Tab S2, it simply says it can take up to a 128gb SD card, but it does not say what speed it will work with.
The reason I ask, is that I am now in the market for a 128gb card, and yet I don't want to buy an expensive fast one, if my tablet will not be able to take advantage of the premium speed. Anyone have any thoughts?
I don't know about the speed but I have a SanDisk 200 GB that runs fine.
I think that any phone or tablet that will read 128 GB will also work with 200 GB.
Shofar
Don't worry
Any MicroSD card will work in your Galaxy Tab S2. But then, you might have to format it. When you buy the card, keep an eye out on the speed class- higher speeds are much better!
You are looking for a 128GB card, and I use one in my tablet so don't worry. It will work! But I seriously recommend a higher performance card because it can get very slow with cheaper cards.
Hope this helps!

No, that means that "class" classification is outdated. Fast cards (read and write) bear the UHS-I "U3" classification, "U1" is slower.
In future, only buy U3 cards, like the SanDisk Extreme family.

I guess you missed the part where I stated that the UHS card had a write speed of 40mb using the Odroid C1 board. Obviously, when it only writes 9mb in the S2, then the S2 itself doesn't support the higher speeds. So, no matter ability the card has, if the device's bus doesn't support the higher speed, then the card's ability is meaningless. Any card you use is going to be limited by the bus speed of the device.
Paying extra for a better card is pointless if the device doesn't support the higher speed.

This was what I meant, I'll make sure to buy a decent one but not the "best". Quick question, how are the internal memory write speeds? Actually, what card should I get then? How fast is the internal memory write speeds? Thanks!

read 59,70 MB/s or 61,04 MB/s, write 22,75 MB/s or 24,70 MB/s. The second numbers are the result of using the "accurate mode" of the test app.

Wat?! Is it possible that the LTE version (T815) vs T810 has a different card reader? If not happy days!

This was what I meant, I'll make sure to buy a decent one but not the "best". Quick question, how are the internal memory write speeds? Actually, what card should I get then? How fast is the internal memory write speeds? Thanks!

Why don't you install the A1 SD Benchmark from the Play Store and test your own cards? My internal storage rates 50mb write and 160 read.
Hi,
I'm considering this microSD for my new tablet s2, do you think is good quality?

I am using this SanDisk 128 GB Micro SDXC UHS-1 / Class 10 card and it works fine! The price/performance is good.
In germany (Amazon.de) you can get the card for 33 € (+shipping costs).

For our fast S2, this one is too slow in writing. Class 10 means only fast reading.
You better choose a Samsung or SanDisk with the "U3" designation, which means fast writing, like this:

FOR EVERYBODY :
I have bought a LEXAR 633x 200GB !!!
And it works !
Speed : read 95Mo/s write : 40Mo/s
For 90$, it do the job very well !
The only better sdcard is the 256GB SAMSUNG but it's out of price !
​
So a higher performance card or 200GB eill make the tab s2 go faster then? What amount of storage and sd card do you recommend?
It won't make the tab S2 go faster. But it will allow faster read/writing to higher performance sd card compared to a regular one. The S2 can only go as fast as it's hardware can, with or without a microsd card.
Figured I'd share my results with my 2015 S2 8.0 (SM-T710). Right now I have a Samsung EVO Pro (U1) 64GB in my tablet and it does ok, but I'm just about to upgrade it to a new 128GB EVO PLUS (U3) card so got some results below. Note the previous 32GB card I had was waay worse, much older and only did 4MB/sec on writes (forgot the brand) but things have at least come a long way in the years since.
Results as follows...
Samsung EVO Pro 64GB (U1) - 70.53MB/sec Read - 72.86MB/sec Write (Fresh Format)
Samsung EVO Plus 128GB (U3) - 69.91MB/sec Read - 43.40MB/sec Write (Fresh Format)
Samsung EVO Pro 64GB (U1) - 70.07MB/sec Read - 17.81MB/sec Write (Only 4.9GB Free)
Samsung EVO Plus 128GB (U3) - 63.08MB/sec Read - 27.12MB/sec Write (Only 65.9GB Free)
For the heck of it tried the transfer rates on the PC for the 2 cards as well.
Samsung EVO Pro 64GB (U1) - 86.85MB/sec Read - 80.77MB/sec Write (Fresh Format)
Samsung EVO Plus 128GB (U3) - 87.04MB/sec Read - 82.27MB/sec Write (Fresh Format)
Though got to say while cards neck and neck, small file writes where 5x greater on the new U3 card (.5MB/sec vs 2.5MB/sec) on 4k writes.
