The spec for the Tab S4 states the memory is "expandable up to 400GB via microSD card".
Has anyone tried to install a 512GB micro SD card?

Thank you. Much appreciated.
Just a heads up, most OEM's only list the sd cards available at the time of launch. This is a proven fact that this size works but how can you say a 2 tb card will work if it hasn't been tested?
They will NEVER state that a higher card will work if it hasn't been tried as this is false advertising and can lead to being sued if later it turns out to be false.
Best advice, theoretical limit of SDXC is 2 Tb, if your phone/tablet can handle a 64gb sd card it should be able to handle anything up to that, beware of format though (FAT32, exFAT OR NTFS) as some devices are limited by software...
And this has been discussed before....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s4/accessories/best-memory-card-t3937631
Per that thread, Ultramag also has a 512gb card
And I've used an external 1TB hard drive without problems; the system sees it as a USB storage drive. Only complication is that it is NTFS. How I wish NTFS played better with Android.
I've gone back and forth on which brand to go with for 512MB; most reviews suggests SanDisk Extreme has the best performance (higher read speeds + equal write speeds), but it is nearly twice the cost of Samsung, PNY, and others ($160ish vs $90ish). I wish I could get a 1 TB SanDisk, but way outside my price zone. I'm planning on going with PNY once my CC rewards Amazon card gets delivered.

So I got my new card. I couldn't be happier. My write speed has gone from 15 MB/s to 50 MB/s. Read speed is 80MB/s.
My old card:
SanDisk 400GB Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - up to 100MB/s read speed and no write speed specified, Class 10, U1, Full HD, A1
My new card:
PNY U3 Pro Elite MicroSD Card - 512GB, Class 10, U3, V30, A2, up to 100MB/s read speed and up to 90MB/s write speed
I don't pretend to fully understand all the techno babble related to micro SD cards -- U-This, V-That, Class-Whatever, Up-To-Speed that isn't attainable in real life. But this is noticeably faster for transferring from internal memory to the external card.
Go for the highest speed ratings you can -- it is worth it.
Joe
FYI, because I read $160 for a 512GB card, I just bought a SanDisk Extreme 400GB at Amazon.de (ASIN B07FCQRN9K, sold and shipped from Amazon) for EUR 74. It's back at EUR 99 right now, but I bet it will some down again before Christmas. Also the Samsung 512GB 100MB/s (U3) MicroSDXC Evo Select (ASIN B07MKSGZM6) is at $65 right now. That's the same card as the Samsung Evo Plus, it's just a rebrand for Amazon. It has pretty lousy *random* write speeds, and thus no A1 or A2 rating, but is fine for sequential writes, so if you're worried about copying larger files from internal storage, it should be just as fast as a SanDisk Extreme doing that.
And I just see that amazon.com has the 400 GB extreme for $78 right now, so if you don't strictly need the extra 112 GB, you can save the extra 50-60 bucks. So these days, if you aren't setting your mind on a specific model you can get good value for the money.

Can the HTC Touch take 4GB MicroSDHC cards?
i heard that the newer ppc's should support it. I hope im right
anyone else know anything about this?
The specifications for the HTC Touch says it supports the standard "SD 2.0". This standard includes SDHC (Cards from 4-32gb), and have seen a few users say they are using a 4gb card in their touch (search will reveal who).
Here (DK) the only 4gb MicroSDHC card available is Class 2, so I wont be going for the 4gb (or 8gb for that matter) card until I can get atleast Class 4, preferably Class 6.
You can read more about SDHC in general on wikipedia.
Hi,i'm actually using 4gb microsd HC from SanDisk.
Everything work perfect without any problem.
Mine Touch have Italian software but i don't think different language firmware could have limitations about memory size....i hope
Bye.

you said that you have a 4Gb Card.
were did you buy it?
Tanks
Hi,from ebay the object number is :160135130187 but maybe now you'll find more than this model cause the demand is growning......and maybe the price will be lower.
8 gb sdhc actually used in a touch, anybody ?
has anybody actually used an 8 gb micro sdhc card in a touch yet?
i know there was some discussion about the availability of this size card, and that it was available for quite a few pounds(dollars for me), and i believe someone had purchased it, but never really heard of the results.
if someone has please post, and please let us know where it was purchased and for how much. also, if outside us whether you know if it can be delivered to the usa.
thanks in advance

Did you test the card? E.g. fill it up to over 2gb, like 2.5gb and then see if the phone writes on it etc. 'Cause the picture on Ebay appears different from the one that Verizon carries which should be the real one.
It is good that it works on the Touch, since I just ordered a Touch. I've tested my card, it works flawlessly on the TyTN and I filled it up to test.
Test done
Just end the fill up test on SDHC 4 gb,no problem it works
I've made some copy of 98mb files and also 2 copy of tomtom map file (about 518mb) now memory info report just 84.03 mb free and 3794.47 used of 3878.50 total space on microSd card.
Thank to Doni for suggest me the test.
Pls guys forgive my poor english.

how significant is class 2 and class 6 micro sdhc cards? compared to the standard 50x micro sd cards.
the class 6 micro sd sdhc doesnt come cheap but the class 2 and class 4 seems reasonable..
I got the 4GB Sandisk card today and it works well.

That's a SD not a SDHC card. It will still work though.
You can get the 4Gb SDHC card on eBay for £32 and you also get a Micro SD to SD Card Adapter and a SDHC USB Card reader in with the price

The fact that its 4GB means it has to be SDHC... The HC stands for High Capacity
maybe not.
there is a 4gb sd and 4gb sdhc.
have just got a 4GB SDHC Micro Sd card from Amazon including an sd to micro adapter and a sandisk micromate (adapter type thing not used yet) for £24.95 + p+p in total came to less than £30.
Works fine for me so far despite HTC telling me they only support 2 GB cards, mine is an MDA touch from Tmonile but I dont think that will make much difference.

No he's right. On research I find SD only goes up to 2Gb. The SDHC uses FAT32 file system to be able allow higher capacities. 8Gb card coming out next year.
Anyway, for me extra 2 squids I got a couple of adaptors.
Is it advisable to go for the memory card for S3 ? Would it slow the data access speed ?
I am thinking of to get 32 GB memory card, though i am open for 64 GB too provided its not very expensive.
For 32 GB card i found SanDisk, Samsung's own card on amazon, can someone suggest which memory card is better (for 32 GB) and for (64 GB) for Samsung Galaxy S3 (ATT) .
I would recommend SanDisk, from a reputable seller for either size.
Personally, I wouldn't worry about getting a memory card unless you're running out of storage space. External cards will be slower than internal storage, but with a sufficiently high speed card, you won't really notice the difference in most cases.
I wouldn't really worry about brand unless you've never heard of the company (in which case beware).
I only advised SanDisk because of the 64 gb size. I've heard reports of some people having problems. I personally have a 32GB class 10 SanDisk that has been great. I use it as my storage for most everything on device (even my TiBu folder).
I'll take the opportunity to note that an SD card is great for backup purposes. It made getting my newest phone up and running with all my old data a breeze.
Exactly. Tbh, it's the same card i had in my Inspire, which had no usable internal storage. Plus, put everything on the external and if the phone suddenly craps out you won't lose your photos,etc.

Couldnt decide which to go and whats the difference between these ? Are these even good ones ?
i'm using the 64gb sandisk class 10 with no probs..the only thing i had to do was what other users have reported: reformat to fat32. it's been really fast. it seems to perform a lot better when it's connected in media mode as opposed to the usb mass storage mode in my experience. if u can find one for about 50 bucks, I think it's really worth it.
I grabbed a Samsung Class 10 32 GB card from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005TUQV0E/
From what I can tell it gets the job pretty well. Benchmark speeds are fairly close to the advertised speeds.
Thanks

The difference is the Adapter is microSDHC to SD whereas
the USB reader one is a microSDHC to USB.
I got the USB reader since it's USB and can use in anything. The micro to SD you could use for a macbook or for photo/video in camera.
ok guys im about to order me a memory card. Do you guys think the 64gb is overkill? Second Question..is there a big differencein the class 6 and class 10 cards?

For day to day use, you will see no difference on Class 6 or 10 ... if you plan to copy/move large files or music files on a regular basis, then maybe a little ... Will definitely not affect any performance like Camera app, etc.
And I still prefer 32GB Class 10 for now.
64gb C10

there's no such thing as too large of a mem card,
if u have the money then go for the 64gb C10
Does the Note come with a card already installed? I just ordered this morning but have 32Gb SanDisk. I was going to get 64Gb SanDisk and leave 32Gb in my Motorola Photon. If Note comes with card already installed, if lesser I will put that in Photon and sell it

hi,
no,i got my note 2 out of box with no sd card.Had to use my own.
good luck
Class 6 and Class 10 write speed in Note 2 won't be a big difference.
I found Note 2's external memory controller write speed capped at around 10-11MB/s
But for read speed, it will be a BIG difference.
I am using Samsung 64GB UHS-I Pro micro SD.
Having like 55MB+/sec read speed.
with my old Lexar 32GB Class 10 only got 13MB/s read speed.
So, if you concern of read speed, get fastest card you can afford.
if your main concern is write speed, get a class 6 or class 10 would be fine.
And don't get SanDisk ultra. it's known to have problem with Note 2.

I bought mine in Hong Kong for USD 95.
It's expensive yeah but it's the fastest 64GB micro SD you can buy.
It's good for you that you don't have problem with SanDisk Ultra but you can search for Note 2 + SanDisk Ultra.
It has a known problem, after awhile of use or the disk capacity reached certain amount.
Sometimes it will unmount the card or even damage the files in the card.
You can only re format the disk to solve the problem.
MANY people reported this problem. I don't know maybe trigger rate is not 100% but still not recommended.
Darkinners, thanks for your responds and suggestions (which I took and did a search, then some research!)
1. All of these complaints on SanDisk were about the 32Gb Card, not the 64Gb card. All the 64Gb comments were good.
2. The people with issues (both 64Gb and 32Gb) had formatted the card at exFAT, not SDXC. Mathamatically, I can pretty much figure out a.) why it will not write files over 4Gb and b.) why the 64Gb exFAT crashes after it fills over 16Gb! (Think about it, SIII is desinged to read/store 32Gb, not 64Gb even though it will format exFAT. And as for the kid whos computer would not read the 64Gb exFAT, i bet he has 32-bit machine?
3. All complaints were from Europe and blamed on a bad batch of cards (it happens). The one happy individual I saw got his card from Amazon, which is a ligit website. Just because the card says SanDisk, does not mean it actually SanDisk. Cheap forgien vendors use this lable to make them look legit?
4. The card you mentioned and the SanDisk are priced about the same, $59.99USD. I will get SanDisk and format either in phone or my laptop as SDXC and play for awhile. If it piss me off, I will return it!
Again, thanks for your input and suggestions!
what is the speed of Tab S card slot?
I'm going to buy a microSD card and I don't know what speed should I take:
30, 50, 80 or 90 MB/s?
I don't care how fast I can copy files from PC. I just wonder what is the maximum speed of read/write by Tab S?
I dont unfortunatley have technical speeds of how quick it copies but i found that mine. Could happily copy 2GB files from internal to my UHS1 64GB sd card from samsung pretty quickly, within 1 minute.
So it is about 33MB/s. Class 10 is not enough.
So minimum Sandisk extreme?
http://www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd/
I guess depends if you can get a UHS-2 or 3 that a tab s can make the most of? Just used A1 SD Bench and got 30 MB/s write and 13MB/s read (edit. Other way round). It is a UHS-1 samsung micro sd card. Possibly a samsung EVO or SanDisk extreme.
I have the Lexar 64gb 600x micro sdxc class 10 UHS-I 90mb/s, I have had it about 4 months now and it was previously in my Samsung Galaxy S4. I have never met transfer speeds as fast on any other microsd I have used before, nor have I been met with such stability. I have one of these cards in my Samsung Galaxy Tab S for storing any media (books, music and movies) and haven't had any issues still. I also have another in my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 I which I play music from every single day.
As I said, I have had the card for a few months now, and I have used it in 3 different devices, all with outstanding performance. The origin SanDisk microsd cards I purchase (2x 32Gb micro sdhc ultra) I had to return 3 times before I had a reasonably stable working product. I am not dissing SanDisk nor promoting Lexar. I just want to share the experiences I have had recently.
I hope this helps. Message me if anyone has a question.

Hi, I was looking for a New MicroSd card for my G4;
I already have a 32gb samsung Pro sd (U3, 90r/80w) which is really fast, but that space in not enough anymore for me.
I saw a 128gb Kingston sd (U1, 45r/10w) for 41€ (or 64gb for 18€), but that write speed makes me flinch :/
Is 10mb/s enough for smartphone use (photos are saved in it, rec. very few videos in FHD 30/60fps, music)?
For a future-proof experience, is better a 64gb U1 now and 128gb U3 in the future (when prices will drop - now is 1€/gb for Samsung pro+ cards)?
Thanks, have a good day.

10MB write is speed is very low for 128GB card! Don't buy it. Buy an U3 card if you will use 128GB high capacity. I suggest you to use 32 or 64GB untill you buy 128GB. But becareful. Research speed before you buy.

10 MB/s write speed is std on sandisk class 10 128GB or even 200GB.
It goes up to 40MB/s for the 64Gb sandisk extreme. Am also looking for a bigger capacity extreme card but its not available in my market as yet.
