Does ne1 know if I can expand the storage of a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (64GB) with an sd card or is 64GB the maximum storage the 10.1 can have?
Buy a another tablet to expand the storage
You could buy the little adapter that goes in the data port and gives you an SD Card reader. That's what I did for when I travel (although, mine's only a 16gb model to begin with).

dont think so, all you can do is get USB adapter and use additional SD card or Flash drive.
You can also use cloud services like Dropbox, box.net etc.

2nd that... 16gig here and I have 20gigs of free cloud storage using DropBox, Box.net and Minus online sites. Cloud storage also comes in real handy for sharing things between your phone, Tab and cpu.

What are the practical performance differences between the two configurations. I know more RAM is always better, but is it worth $100?
Thanks,

It isnt ram, its storage. All you 'gain' is more room to store apps, music, movies etc. The tablet as almost all honeycomb tablets come with 1 gig of ram. If you see yourself packing the tablets with movies/photos etc then yes the 32 gig one is worth it.
At $100 for a 16gb increase it is far less expensive to just add a $20 16gb microSD card to expand to 32gb from a 16gb model.

Probably is til Sony patches it (and i hope they do) the sd slot is basically just a file transfer/media storage rather then true storage.
And keep in mind that the 16GB version only offer 8.9GB of storage !

with the correct 3rd party apps on the market you can use an sd card as true storage!!i got a 32gb sd card full of movies working with mx video player pro which you need for divx/xvid/avi movies anyway!! Got the card for £29.99 and its a class 10!

Well you can use File manager HD to look for and open files, or say if you have movies use MX Video Player. On both apps the sd card shows as sdcard2
Pretty much every single 3rd party none sony/asus/google/htc apps can play/view file directly from the SD card.
Only thing you need to know is that your SD card is located at:
/mnt/SDCard2/

I really hope you can gather data from SD card with stock music and video apps.

hi - could someone please explain the storage setup?
I swapped my 16GB Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for a 16GB Sony and as mentioned previously, it only shows 8.92GB internal storage (USB) plus 3.94GB internal storage so that's approx 3GB for the OS and sample files!
I assume this is just the way Sony split up the 16GB?
On the Samsung it showed approx 15GB from new
Just trying to clarify....
thanks

The storage is splitted between storage for application installation and data such as files, videos, photos, etc..
I plan on buying the 16GB model, but how much free space is there once the tablet arrives?

13.05 gb total space available. That is what mine shows. Not really bad at all, not like I thought it would be. I have couple play movie rentals downloaded, 112 apps installed as well as a few dozen songs on the nexus 10. Only 2.6gb used, still have 80 percent left (10+ gb) . Also ordered a micro OTG USB cable so I can use USB stick/sd card for extra storage (no need to root for photo, video or music streaming if you use nexus media importer)
Hope that helps,
Ed
Wow glad I got a 32gb.. I have 11gb left and for WHAT? No music yet, well other then the free google gives you. no movies..Apps and 2-3 games. Must me BIG games and APPS! hehe
Buy a 64 GB usbstick and everything is OK ;0))
I would not recommend getting 16gb. My note 10.1 is 16gb and I have a 64gb and its not enough space. I can't keep all my games saved on my tab at once. I keep all my media saved on my sd card and only save game files on my system.

Mine was a Christmas gift, so I can have nothing to complain about. If I had the choice, I would have got the 32gb as well.. But after filling my tab2-7 int space and a 32gb sd card, I don't think that would be enough space either. But besides the usb memory stick ad on (got my cable from Korea today, works great!!!) there is the option of cloud storage. One service giving you 50gb free now!
That's the one thing about the large nexus 10.....You will more than likely be using it around the house and a wifi signal. Plenty of room for movies and music now! We only need an app that will allow us to install and RUN apps from cloud services.
If you are going to allow multiple users on the n10,then you must get the larger one.... But that probably won't be enough if one of the users is a gamer (grin) just such a large price difference for 16gb....Although I did once pay that for 1mb on my first IBM XT 16mhz system... 1mb simm chip, not gb! (gotta love this tablet!)

Just wondering what you guys would recommend for a good quality sd card for this phone? Also...how hard is it to put your stuff on the SD card rather than it going straight to internal storage??
I use a SanDisk 16 GB microSd card. It works fine, I've used it on my Xoom, BIONIC, and now my S4 and I got no complaints. Fits everything I want (I don't put any movies on it, just pictures and music). It isn't that difficult to move stuff to and from it, either go in an app on your phone and move stuff or plug it into you'r computer. Also, many apps, like the camera app, have settings that save pictures and videos straight to your external SD.
I think it's a must for an S4 user to have external storage, as TouchWiz/Bload take up almost 7GBs of internal storage.

Thanks! I guess I will do some research. I just know there are like different grades of microSD's but I will do some more research
I use the Sandisk 64GB MicroXDXC UHS-1 from Amazon. It's around $50 from Amazon. I've used it in my S3 as well. No issues besides every now and then it will say the card is damaged or give an error. A simple reboot fixes the issue. Best card for the monwy as I habe 2 of them. One in my S4 and one in my Tab 2 7.0. You should also try and find a USB reader for MicroSD cards to transfer your files as it's much faster than using the USB cable to transfer to the phone.

Would it be stupid to buy a class 10 microSD? can the phone even really utilize the speed capability of a class 10? I am looking at that card right now, maybe the 32GB version, I don't think I would ever come close to using 64GB haha

Mine is class 10 and works well. You get the faster data transfers by using a USB adapter to transfer large files and music collections. It runs pretty decent I think.

Sounds good. A 32GB should format to fat32 unlike the 64GB ome.

I just got the 64gb Sandisk and it works great but like the other guy said I got a error in the gym today and a reboot fixed it. I wanted a 32gb but the 2 local stores I went to were out.
i am using a 16gb sandisk class 10 card, and it works well. was under $20 at best buy and came with an adapter.
Hi,
I bought a 16gb Nexus 9, 2 weeks ago and it's already full.
What's the best solution to expand the storage. I mean a storage where I can install more apps and data.
I read about USB thumb drives but it was always related to photos and videos. Can I install more apps on a USB thumb drive?
Else, can I replace the internal 16gb storage by a 32gb (or more?) storage?
Thanks!

No, you can't replace internal memory. if you root your nexus, You can buy otg flash drive and download from play store stick mount and link2sd to transfer app to the flash memory.
But if you buy from store like Amazon, Best Buy or Google you can return and buy one of 32GB or other tablet with microsd support.
thanks!

i recommand Samsung or Sandisk. Easy to get one on amazon etc.
