I use an ADATA 16GB Class 6 with ext3 and it is fine. I recommend using GParted in Ubuntu to do the partitioning.

Hi, i am currently on a Class 4 micro SD. I just realised that an ext4 partition is best meant on a Class 10 micro SD (please kindly refute me if i am wrong)
I am thinking of cloning the micro SD wholesale and swapping the old Class 4 for the newer Class 10 with no other changes. Will this break anything?
Thank you!
Directory Bind works fine with the Samsung 16gb class 6 card but when I use the Sandisk 32gb UHS-1 card the binding process all goes though green like it should but when I start the Apps I moved the data on it just can't find the data and tries to download again, and I formatted both cards multiple times on the phone and ran benchmarks which show read/write speeds are what they should be, so any idea why this is happening?
What filesystem is your SD card formatted in.
Don't use the exFat but format it to Fat32 with your computer.

I'm getting my 64gb SanDisk micro sd today in the mail.
Does it need to be formatted before I use it?

You only need to format it IF when inserted it isn't read. Standard is fat32 generally, but I've only run into a brand new sd card that wasn't formatted only once.
no teh you are wrong fat 32 cannot go above 32GB it will need to be formatted.

FAT32 can go up to 2 TB, but the maximum file size is only 4 GB.
I've always used extFAT on my SanDisk 64GB MicroSDXC UHS-1 Class 10 memory card. A few times I tried FAT32 but the S3 still had issues with it so I went back to extFAT. If I was to format the card now to FAT32 would any of the following happen.
1. Card could die sooner because it's FAT32?
2. Are there known bugs with having it be FAT32?
3. Does the speed or performance of the card drop any?

FAT32 vs exFAT (aka FAT64)

1. No
2. Windows will not allow you to create a filesystem larger than 32GB with FAT32, you can use 3rd party programs to accomplish this.
3. FAT32 filesystem performance depends on the size and number of files contained on the fileysystem, many small files will cause FAT32 to be slower than exFAT.
ExFAT also supports ACLs (file permission attributes) and does not have a 4GB single file size limitation.
There is no practical reason to use FAT32 over exFAT unless the devices you are using are incapable of reading an exFAT filesystem (i.e. pre-XP versions of Windows).

I was only thinking this because of being stuck on CWM making a nandroid backup and such since I can't remove the recovery.

Just thought you might like to know i just put a 128gb Sandisk MicroSd in the slot and it worked straight out of the packaging with no special formatting
FAT32 or exFAT?

I tested Samsung evo with stock fat32
My Sandisk 32gb class 10 seems to be insufficient. I'm gonna try a 64gb and maybe partition it to give more space on cm13?

i can confirm that a 64GB formated to FAT32 works with cm13
