Portable storage is best, meaning you can take sdcard out and put it in yopur pc and be able to read whats on it

Because some users reported that using MicroSD as adaptable storage (or shared storage) will have problem like random reboots, it is advisable that MicroSD should be used as portable ones. Plus it will be formatted to FAT32, which it has wider compatibility, as oppose to adaptable storage.

does anyone know if the new SanDisk 128GB MicroSDXC will work in the XOOM?
i know the 64GB works depending on your ROM and the filesystem you format it - but is there any hardware limitation that would prevent the 128GB from working?
thx

Not that I'm aware of. In fact, I just recently installed one. Seems to be working well. Just use an OTG cable to plug in a card reader, copy all of your data from the external card you have now to the new card. Afterwards, unplug the reader. Unmount your old card. Remove the old external. Plug in the new one you've created, reboot to recovery, and mount the new card. You should be good to go..
The file system up to Android 4.2.2 Was different, as it would allow you to install and use your external sdcard for both programs and data. My experience when I upgraded to Android4.4 though, had been that you need to use your main memory to install programs to, and that you need to place data on the external sdcard.
Hope this answers your question.
Blessings,

Has anyone successfully managed to use or swap the external SD car as primary storage?
I've gone as far as removing the write restrictions on the external SD, but would much prefer to use my 128Gb card as main storage.

Hello,
I have got question about new feature called 'adaptable sd' on android marshmallow.
Info: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...or-accessed-normally-with-no-additional-apps/
How it works on Lg g4? Can you move whole app on sd?
if i'm right you can format your external storage(SD card) to work as internal storage. this is useful when installing a lot of apps and big ones from the store.
i don't think you can move internal apps to SD.
this will be a way for 16GB phone variants(not necessarily for G4) to have more internal storage.
Can you format your sd card to work as internal storage on G4?

For me not, Sony SD, no options to format as internal, only normal format.
Strange, this is standard functionality on android marshmallow.
Is there any way to unlock this functionality?
Sounds like how the app Link2SD works by allowing apps on the External SD card.
This is much better than Link2SD, you have true additional internal storage.

Yeah, I can't see the option to format an SD card to internal storage either. At the moment, Link2SD is the next best thing.

Depends, it will still be slower than real internal storage as MicroSD cards are not as fast as internal memory I think.
Actualy, microSD Class10 cards are enought fast for aplication.

I wonder what's the speed of the internal memory.
The internal memory is pretty fast, not the fastest tough. Where the microSD fails is the random R/W part, I would not use it for any resource hungry apps, I do not like lags
64 GB SanDisk Ultra mSDXC UHS-I
First two pics are the internal memory, last two are the SD.
So I have read that there is a way to do mixed adoptable storage on Marshmallow. Allowing part of the SD card to be internal and part to be external memory. I followed the steps to obtain this through using ADB but allows get sd corrupt error or does not recognize this format. In either instance I have to format the card and start over.
Has anyone come across this issue and have a solution?
Or does anyone have a suggestion?
I'm trying to use my Sandisk Ultra 128GB in my US unlocked HTC 10 running Venom ROM.
I wouldn't even use Adoptable Storage. There really isn't much benefit to using it in my opinion. Also now you have an SD card that is useless outside the phone. Reformat the sd card.

I know it's pretty useless but I could use a little more storage for all my apps.
I heard you can do a 2nd partition on the SD card and use that partition only as adoptable storage. The rest of the SD would be used like a normal SD card.

Its useful if you happen to drop your phone with all your naked pics. They cant take out the sd card and access it from their computer.

If I am not mistaken that causes more issues then not. The way the adaptable storage is coded it was made to use the whole sdcard. So trying to partition it doesn't really work well.
How do you change Back from one to the other?
How do you convert a "existing" removeable storage SDXC card (with data) to be a "internal" storage card? Or vice versa? I'm looking to change my Samsung Evo 256GB (class 10, U3) card which I initially made "removeable", to become "Internal". I'm not looking for lectures on the "pro and cons", just a step by step process to do this. FYI - I wanted the larger and faster memory for 4K videos. I have no problem with this being a dedicated card to my HTC 10 once completed. Please note that as a removeable storage card, I'm finding duplicate files (internal/removeable). What's up with that?

You will have to clear it out as it will format the sdcard. No way around it and it will have to be set as non removable.

So in either scenario, you'll have to copy the "entire" content of your SDXC card to your computer (or other storage device), and then recopy back once the card is reformatted as the other storage (internal/removeable)? Isn't there a tool or something to help do this? I already have 56GB on the card. Isn't there folders that should only be on "internal" and not on "removeable" (in copying entire card)?

Pretty much. Also to be honest it really doesnt make much of a diff. This option was made for devices with low internal memory. You know devices with like 4gb of internal memory where there is no room for apps at all.
A waste of a feature on any real flagship device. This is why most OEM removed or hid the option.

Ok, so are you also saying that I'll not see any performance difference with the Samsung Evo 256GB card (R-95MBS/W-90MBS). I got it specifically to "better" handle 4K videos. I would expect a performance boost having this as "internal" memory. No?

on problem in marshmallow is you cannot move a lot of apps to sd card. switching to adopted storage allows them to use the space. over the years ive started using a lot of apps, that over the years got very large in size. 32gb is barely holding in there now and adopted storage will allow more when without it I would have to start deleting apps.
I didn't run into any adb issues or flashing issues when using it, but at the moment I have it set to removable since I have really nothing new to add.

No you wont see an increase at all and maybe a bit of a decrease due to the different ways OEMs added SDcard support (remember google removed support from the OS so all SDcard code for mounting and using are all on the OEM.)

Well that is because of the way android mounts the sdcard. Putting apps on the sdcard is just asking for trouble. I have never had more then a 32gb device for the last few years and never used more then half. I also dont keep anything I dont need on my device. Apps are less then 10.
Facebook app lags or freezes on SD card (Adoptable Storage ). any solution ?
Hello forum,
i´m about to purchase a xiaomi mi a2 lite 64gb 4gb ram and i am concerned that these 64gb of storage wont be enough for me.
i like the idea of Android one and the benefits of it (sleek, needs not much space and so on ... ) and i want to use the stock android.
i already found out that you can format an sd card as internal storage but can anyone of you tell me if you can use this normally with the same speed as the internal storage?
have you made any experiences with an sd card formated as internal storage ?
If yes, which sd card functions properly as an internal storage?
thanks!
High there,
The Samsung 128 Gb works perfectly. noissues with speed so far
Cheers
External SD cards are always worlds slower compared to the internal storage. I really wouldn't suggest to use the card as adoptable storage, better use it as portable storage. Use the internal storage for apps+their data und store pictures, movies, Spotify and such stuff on the external SD.
If your phone breaks, you can't read SD cards formatted as adoptable storage with any other device, because it's encrypted and bound to that unique device.
