So I understand the current limit for the phone is 32gb, what's the cause of that limit though? An android limitation or hardware?
I'm curious as to if the new SanDisk Extreme Pro 64gb cards would work in our phones..
http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/14/sandisk-outs-extreme-pro-64gb-sdxc-mobile-ultra-microsdxc-new/
Well, if I'm reading things right then there's no hardware compatibility issues between SDHC and SDXC.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#SDHC_and_SDXC_compatibility_issues
So theoretically SDXC cards should work with our phones. But at $219 for a 64GB microSDXC card, I'd hold off for now. If nothing else, this could help drive the price of 32GB microSDHC cards down.

To anyone out there that has used Micro SD Cards....
1) First of all, I know the A101IT supports SDHC Micro SD Cards but does it support any 32GB Micro SD Cards at all??
(All the 32GB Micro SD Cards I've seen show the SDHC written label on them).
2) If the A101IT does support the 32GB Micro SD Card, what manufacturer brands along with their Class #'s have been found to work when tested with data and media in upwards of 16GBs in this case.
(I.E. - SanDisk 8GB Class 4/... Works for me on my A101IT).
Reason:
I want to put my Band of Brothers HBO TV Show Series (7.20GBs), True Blood HBO TV Show Series (19.3GBs), about 1-2GBs of music, a couple DVD Movies, and finally leave the few remaining space on the card for Market Apps and put ALL this ^ on 1 card because I don't like always carrying around my external portable 500 GB HDD. I have an 8GB Micro SD Card and I need more space on it so please advise of bigger and better cards. Thanks!
In other news:
From sources I found on Yahoo and Google, I read that SanDisk is in the development stage of working on a 128GB Micro SDXC Card for mobile devices AND a 128GB SDXC Flash Card for devices like digital cameras to which both will reportedly be available by the end of 2011. Reports show that for the 128GB Standard SDXC Card at 133x speed made by Lexar is roughly $700 and the 128GB SDXC Flash Card at 100x speed made by SanDisk is $1500! So if the below configuration of HC/XC is what SD says it is then in the coming years we should see a 2TB Standard SDXC card for like $5000 and a 2TB Micro SDXC Card for like $10,000?! Then fast forward and imagine about 30 years from now where we would have a double-sided Micro SDXC Card with like 6TBs total (3TB on each side) as the total amount of space on the card and costing like $20,000?! ... Yay, can't wait... *(sarcastically).*
SDHC: 4 GB to 32 GB
SDXC: >32 GB to 2 TB
Yes the Archos can handle any non fake 32GB microsd's.
I specifically say non fake because if you buy them cheap it might be one that doesn't really hold the data ( had one given to me that was fake ).
And for the price of the SDXC Crads.
I bought a 540MB harddrive for DM1500 in 1990, because i needed the space then.
About 1 year later it was around DM500.
Now you get 1TB for €50.
And with this its the same, when they produce more, price will drop dramatically.
Well I got 2 different 32GB Micro SD Cards. One is by Kingston at a Class 4 & the other by a no-named company because there is no name on it and that one is at a Class 6. I formatted each to NTFS, FAT32, AND extFAT and absolutely none of it works like it should. For each card I put like 6 GBs on them and loaded them back into my A101IT and only part of the stuff comes up that I transferred to it like my folder of strickly .apk's, a few but not all of my documents, and the folder I made for the Swap Files from another thread here on XDA. Other stuff on the card like the folder of my Movies, Band of Brothers TV Show Series, and the entire folder of my pictures never show up and it looks like it just randomly deleted the other stuff. When I go to open up either one of my 32GB SD Cards from on my A101IT.... everything but my folder of .apk's are still on the card?!
Is there anything I did wrong in formatting or any way I should format either card? Is my problem that I should use a Class 8/10 Card regardless of the card's GB size??
Most of noname SD cards are fake. Lots of Kingston and Transcend cards are fake too the only way I found is to buy from well-known shops where chances to get a fake are lower and you can get a replacement if something went wrong. As usual cards for $90 work better than $40, but you can get a garbage for full price
It seems both yours cards are fake. There are a lot of cards on the market marked as 32Gb and their real capacity is 8Gb maximum. What did you use for formatting?
I've bought mine from Amazon directly and waiting for delivery. It was $60 for 4 class. I'm worried a bit but hope for better
Well after formatting both 32GB Micro SD Cards on my laptop, I found that both cards are truly not fake and each of their real capacities are at 31.7 GBs and 30.9 GBs respectively. I was thinking that they just had some kind of read/write problem but I formatted both cards to the default NTFS again for like the 4th time and now they work on my A101IT?! I think the problem lies with my Toshiba laptop's USB ports and its built-in SD Card Slot because my laptop is like 6 years old and holding onto a thread to keep from dying (I've been having other non-SD Card related problems lately too). But I think it's solved now because the cards both work.
Does archos support ntfs for sd card ?
Does it support SD XC or just HC. I saw a 64 GB micro XC card and was wondering it would be supported.
saw it on gizmodo a couple days ago, the official answer is no, but no one even tried. according to what I know, it's the first micro SDXC crossing the 32gb line.
Look at the prices though, a 32gb card costs approximately 100$, don't expect this card anywhere below 250$, which is more or less what I bought my x10 for.
Thanks for the info. I'll probably get a 32GB SD HC but I filled up a 16GB pretty quick I wouldn't be surprised if I filled up the 32 GB fast too. I'm still on contract for 2 more years so I'll have the phone for a while and chances are prices will come down by then just curious for the future.
We'll be on mini micro SD by then!

SD-XC (extended capacity) is known as 3.0 standard.
ALL current card readers (except software-based) WILL NOT support except SD-XC supported, so don't have high hope about it.
According to SD Association http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdxc/using_sdxc/
Only SDXC device can use SDXC card card.So far there none of mobile phone can support SDXC. SDXC min 32GB max up to 2000GB(2TB)
I'm lurking through eBay looking for a 32gb SD card and they all say "Make sure it's compatible with your device".
What is the best 32gb SDHC card for the E3D?
Which ones work and which don't?
Thank you.
Usually when they say that it's because there is sd and sdhc. SD is usually up to 2GB and sdhc is 4GB on up and the Evo 3D supports up to a 32gb micro sd card which is sdhc. You should be good. Most sd and sdhc is seen a lot with cameras. Hope this helps
I'm pretty sure does work , most SD cards will work what they mean is about a 32 gb SD card working on your device or if it supports the speeds as well, old phones supports up to 16gb and didn't support class 10 SD cards
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Be careful!
A lot of Ebay cards have turned out to be fake 32GB cards. You do get what you pay for! Also, if you're going to get a 32GB, make sure it is class 10. And I would definitely test it for bad sectors. Unsure what the name of the utility is, but I know I've seen one talked about here. Just be careful.
Hi,
I'm thinking of purchasing the newly released 200gb Microsd card, however I'm wondering if anyone has tried one and if so what are the Write/Read speeds like?
Also does anyone know if it would work with the Z3?
In my experience, most devices (at least high end devices) should support it.
I bought a 128 GB micro SD and it's working great.
Usually, the information the companies show is because they talk of the biggest micro SD capacity available at the moment of the release of the device.
I'm quite sure it should work.
My 128gb microsd is in half full, so I musn't buy 200gb microsd card, becuase is 3x bigger price than my 128gb
So, is there any news on this subject?
Does the phone support the 200gb card? Or even the 400 gb?
be first
Title says it all. What memory cards are people using, what in the consensus best option?
Thanks,
The Dude.
I'm using Samsung evo plus 128 GB SDXC without problems
(but generally there are other good cards with high write-read speed)

sandisk is another good memory card
I simply used samsung because I had these cards unused a long time ago...
I have had problems with Sandisk in Samsung phones but not sure if that issue has been fixed... That was a while ago...
Samsung 512gb SD card works well too...
I'm going to reopen this discussion, if folks are willing.
We all want high capacity cards. The Tab S4 is a laptop replacement tablet after all is said and done.
All Amazon prices.... (6/28)
So you have four choices....
SanDisk Extreme, 1TB (now available on Amazon) for $427. 88
SanDisk Extreme 512GB for $169. 99
SanDisk Extreme 400GB for $85.49
Or
And Samsung EVO Select 512GB for $100
According to reviews the SanDisk cards have a higher read speed than the Samsung card, but the same write speed.
Seems to me the 1TB card is just too expensive. The faster read SanDisk 512GB card is more than 50% more expensive the equivalent slower read Samsung card. The SanDisk 400GB card is half the cost of the 512GB card.
So which do you choose and why?
I currently have an older SanDisk 400gb card, am leaning toward the 512GB SanDisk. But salivating over the 1TB card.

Tab S4 is limited to 400gb sd card per spec or has it been tested with 512?
Sent from my SM-T830 using Tapatalk
The SDXC format is good to 2TB. They had a similar low "upper spec" for my Tab S2 of 256GB and 400GB worked fine. Virtually everything I've read says that the upper spec they quote is not based on the reality of the hardware. The way one site explained it was that the upper spec is set by marketing based on the largest available card out at the time the marketing material was generated. If I could afford it, I'd go for the 1TB card without any worries
There are several, other card brands out there now on Amazon for 512GB cards around $100. It is hard to find direct head-to-head reviews of the actual 512gb cards, but it seems like it holds true that they all write at about the same speed, but SanDisk Extreme reads faster - but costs 50% more.
A possibly unrelated aside, I've attached a 1TB hard drive via USB without any issues outside of the pain-in-the-*$$ that NTFS gives. As far as I can tell in the memory manager, USB OTG drives and memory sticks are treated the same as the SD card.

Well, if you read the earlier posts you'd see I use a 512gb sd card...
What you need to remember is that the specs put out are generally what was available at the time...
No company is going to put out that the tablet will support a 2Tb card as that isn't currently available but that is what SDXC is supposed to support, then it will go to the next standard., Heck, most phones available at the moment won't support the 1Tb card according to their specs as these were NOT tested pre-release...
