Does anybody know if the Tab 7.7 can use a 64Gb Micro SD card?
Probably not. Most Android tablets only go up to 32GB

Yep, same here. Stupid FAT32 doesn't let you copy files bigger than 4Gb though, so that sucks. Now if only there were some way to format the SD card using EXT2,3,4 or whatever, or get the Tab to easily recognize exFAT.
I did notice when i tried to copy a file from the internal memory to the external memory
It didnt work while i was unrooted. But since i have rooted i have not experienced this again..

I use 64 GB card and no problem.
Most manufactures says their devices is supporting microSD up to 32 GB, but really it's just a phrase.
I've tried 65GB microSD on my Galaxy S II and it worked then I tried it on my Galaxy S I also worked !! which made me try it on little Sony Xperia mini and also worked !!!
Just try it, Im sure it will work.
Yep no problems over here either.. Just need to format the card when it's in the device..

I have 64Gb Kingmax MicroSDXC. Works fine.
Confirmed a while ago:
http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed.html
My 64GB card has worked in every Android device I've tried it in, check that blog post for my list - also confirmed working in many other devices by others.
looking to maybe getting a micro sd card, not sure if i should go for the 32gb with price range of $30-$70 or fork out the extra money for 64gb, over $150. what would you guys recomend? and is it even worth it going for the 64gb at this point? i have the 16gb tab and using 16gb from original 7" tab.
Well.. currently the cheapest one i could find was at play.com and that's not cheap at all... can't we use the usb adapter and connect an external HD to the device?
I went ahead and bought the 64gb card ($152USD on Amazon) as I like to keep as much as possible on my tab. As far as a usb hard drive, I would think it would need to be on that does not need to be powered through the usb connection.
it works just fine, i have 64GB almost used up on my SGS2
In terms of whether the 64GB is worth it: only you can answer that. Mine is basically full and I would like even more storage, some people can't even fill an 8GB card, so it's quite a personalised thing really.
You can use pen drives via the USB adapter if that suits your use.
It seems from other posts that 64Gb cards are entirely satisfactory but my additional question is "What class is optimal?" There are Class 4, Class 6 and now Class 10 cards with price generally higher for the higher class. I note that another poster has successfully used a Kingmax 64Gb MicroSDXC which, I believe, is Class 6.
Does anybody know what the specs are for the MicroSD slot on the tablet. Obviously, it would be overkill and a waste of money if the device cannot read and write at the higher speeds that the card supports. Has anyone done any benchmarking?
I was considering a 64Gb Class 10 card for AU$125 but am wondering if the tablet can actually make use of it and a cheaper card would suffice.
the Sandisk 64 is a Class 6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343164
I think when it comes to the difference in class, the simple explanation is the random access speed vs sustained data transfer speed.
Correct my current understanding if I'm wrong, but generally speaking, lower class = faster random access speeds, but slower sustained data read/write, whereas higher class = faster sustained read/write speeds, but slower random access.
Can anyone confirm or expand upon this?
that's why a Class 6 is just the sweet spot right smack in the middle of both
yeah Class 10 are faster to transfer huge files but slower on smaller files
and class 2 to class 4 are faster for smaller files but extremely slow for huge files like a 4 GB movie file for example

Anyone using the 16gb sd card? Are they worth it? Any problems with crashing? Amazon are selling Sandisk ones for £39.24, seems to be a good buy
I am using it a while (sandisk 16gb micro SDHC) but almost full (navigation maps, movies and music)
No problems with crashing.
I'm not using a 16gb but I'm using an 8gb card. It has to be the best thing I've bought for my Touch PRO yet. I have (most of) my music, (a few) movies, and TomTom all on one card.
A 16gb card would be a great investment though.
Just been looking at them myself, my only concern is the class they are, i heard and correct me if i am wrong you need a class 4-6 card for music and so on, due to the speed it runs at, and most 16gb ones i found are class 2.
I'm using Kingston 16GB Class 2. No problem.
Hi,
I also have a 8GB card but thinking of buying a 16gb card...my question is the apps I have installed.
Im not sure which apps I have installed on my card and which apps are stored on the HD's internal memory.
Would i simply copy the contents from the 8GB card to the 16GB card?

The 8gb that comes with the HD is only class 2.
I have a SanDisk 16gb class 2 and it works fine for all videos I encode with HD Encoder, and MP3 up to 320kbps that I have used.
Yes, it's a little slower copying files onto, but no big deal really.
i would really love to know what does the classes mean? will i see lot of improvements while going higher?
The classes of SD card are the minimum write speeds that the card will maintain. Basically comes down to 2MB/s, 4MB/s and 6MB/s. There are some details specified for how to measure this, but they aren't of much concern to the user.
The maximum read speed of the card may be different (likely). Both read and write speed will also depend on the device.
In short, you will notice the faster write speeds if you transfer music or films. I haven't noticed any problems when watching videos using my class 2 card, but can see the difference when copying from my PC to the cards.
thanks a lot for the information Taxythingy
Is there a massive difference between class 6 and class 2 while using the Touch HD? Or is the difference when you actually connect to the PC and transfer off and on?

That i did not know, i always used my class 6 due to not knowing for sure if it would cause issues or not. (Had the 8 gig on my hermes).
I guess then if HTC themselves issue a class 2 then looks like i am wrong then, and maybe worth doing the upgrade myself.

I used a free program to create an image of my 8gb card before I switched to a 16gb. You can get it here: http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm
All my programs worked fine and my phone never knew I switch to the 16gb.
I am using a 16GB Sandisk with no problems.
Works just fine.
Copying speed to the disk is OK for me.
I am using a 16gb Sandisk with absolutely no problems. I watch movies; listen to music/audio books run large maps for GPS etc. In fact, if an application will install on the SD card I do so. I do not see any lag or delays whatsoever. The only thing is I am running out of space I need to upgrade to a 32gb when they become available
didn't know it's possible to insert 16gb card to the blackstone.
thought it's not supported, but glad to know i was wrong.
so.. i've already ordered a 16gb sd card, but i would like to transfer all the files
currently on my 8gb card to the new one. can i do that without any problems?
just copy&paste all the files from one card to another?
I've been using a Nokia 16Gb cars for a while now, and no problems. It's a class 2 card and I haven't noticed any difference in the behaviour of the device since I put it in.

I think the best method is to copy the contents of your current microSD to a new directory on your PC hard drive then copy all of the files from the new directory over to the new SD card. It doesn't hurt to make a backup of your SD from time to time.
sorry for taking a slight detour, but doesn anyone know when/if the 32gb cards are coming out? i've been holding off the 16gb and waiting for the 32gb one and i'm getting impatient

I do believe anything over 4gb is classified as a SDHC. If you can get a class 6 that would be better as it is faster.
16gig's works as well with the possibility of 32. I just don't know if anyone has tried 32gig's
I don't even know of any 32gb micro sd card for sale.
Newegg doesn't carry them.
I am running a 16gb Ridata class 6 and it works fine.
However for the price, I would have to suggest a sandisk Ultra 8gb micro sd
It has about 3 times the read speed as my class 6.
They are both about $50
I wanted more space for media storage and I port around several apps that I use on different computers.

I don't know of anyone who carries them either but 32 gig's is part of the Micro SDHC standard and on adverts for best buy I do notice the logo for some phones that they can accept 32gigs cards. They are around though but I believe mostly in Asia and in small numbers.
Also I'm not sure but I don't think the slot on the G1 takes advantage of anything faster then class 6 for SDHC memory cards. This is because it would draw more voltage and the device might get to hot.
32GB Class 4's are supported.

Thats too big, and probably expensive. Should be saving those pennies for nexus..
I just purchased a 32GB microSDHC on ebay for under $30!!! Just got it in the mail and have been testing it to make sure it actually works, and it works fine. I am having a few problems. Nothing really major, just some issues between the phone, Windows 7, and Lucid Lynx Ubuntu. The phone, as well as Windows 7 only recognizes 31.2 GB and Ubuntu recognizes 34GB. I am unable to partition the card for Apps2SD with the console, parted, or in Ubuntu. In Amon RA's recovery it says it has partitioned the card but the time it takes to do it is too fast. In parted I get an input\output error and it asks me if i want to retry\ignore\cancel and parted is only recognizing 33.6GB. If i retry or cancel in parted it goes through and the print command says my partitions are there as I have set them up but the phone and Ubuntu don't recognize them and disk utility in Ubuntu says my ext partition is not clean when I run the partition check. I don't know what else to try and have put this here only because the 32GB card is mentioned. Any and all help and info is very much appreciated.

Sorry dude, I think you were scammed. eBay is notorious for these fake cards. Allow me to explain.
A lot of this stuff popped up when the PSP came out. People wanted cheap Memory Stick Pro Duo cards. These manufacturers found a way to hack the sectors, making the card look bigger than it actually is. You could make a 1gb card look like a 4gb card.
Firstly, you would get tons of I/O errors. This is because it is trying to address places that simply don't exist.
Secondly, the memory would fail at random intervals. This was because they bought cheap flash chips.
The problem is that there is no way to guarantee authenticity from eBay unless you're buying it direct from the manufacturer.
IMO, only buy Sandisk products. They are the only ones reliable out there. And yes, they aren't the cheapest, but they are the most reliable.
Here is the best pricing I could find for you:

Being though Amazon, you can trust it IMO.

Sd cards > 32GB is called SDXC cards. the smallest is 64GB. They typically come pre-formated with exFat which our phone doesn't support. You will have to use PC to re-format it into FAT32 using large cluster size before you can use it on the phone (the hardware of the phone supports SDXC cards
As I understand it, the phone supports SDXC.
Many 64GB SDXC cards are comming formatted as regular FAT which will work in our phone.
The SDXC standard officially calls out an exFAT filesystem - exFAT will NOT work.
What's with the class on the card never really noticed it what's it mean oh sorry for the thead hijacked...
sent from interspace on my hacked telly...
Class rates the write performance of a card (in MB/sec). So a class 10 card has a write performance of at least 10MB/s (write speed varies depending on the size of data). Typically, cards read much faster than write (on average 2x faster).

Thanks. I read somewhere in another forum that someone was using a 64GB class 10 card formatted as FAT32 and got ~5MB/sec, suggesting that the format slows the card. My current 32GB micro SD gives me also ~5MB/sec (guessing its a class 4/5 without pulling it out), so a 64GB at 5MB/sec would be ok. I will get me one and report back. Just not sure yet which one. Sandisk? Samsung (haven't seen that one online yet).
Look what I just found:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/09/sandisk-unveils-worlds-fastest-128gb-sdxc-card-and-new-inand/
Class performance is only measured on a specific test... and can sometimes not be indicative of real-world results.
Sometimes people find that a Class 6 card does better overall than a Class 10, just due to being "better" in real world aspects other than what were tested for the class rating.
The class rating MIGHT only be raw write performance - the format of a card can have a major effect on performance depending on the underlying flash memory. For example, I recall a bunch of 4GB CF cards that got a HORRIFIC performance reputation at work - after further investigation, it turned out the only problem was that Windows defaulted to FAT32 on those cards, but FAT16 on smaller ones. The 4GB card formatted FAT16 was wicked fast.
My current class 2 16GB microSD card can give me 6MB/s write speed when I copy a small to medium sized file over. However, when I copy muiple or much larger files, the speed will eventually drop to 2MB/s. Most cards, especially cheaper ones, use a small cache to speed up the write performance and hide the slower flash memory. When you writes more than the cache can hold, the true performance of the card shows up. That's why a brand named card costs much more than no-name brands of the same class rating.

No, I'm testing it on my PC with 8GB of RAM directly. Don't trust phones for that task
My understanding is that most SD cards has a small block of flash cells that's much faster than rest of the cells. Small data chunks get write into those fast flash cells first before they write into the much slower mass storage cells. So, if you copy a large file into the SD card, you will see the write performance slowly drop as the cache fills up.
Aren't there 64GB cards that are SDHC?

I use a 64gb SanDisk Micro SDXC card in my Prime and currently have 28.8gb of the 59.46gb available free. I have music, videos and emulator roms on there.
I don't think I will be needing to put a card in the docks sd card slot yet but IF I ever do then another 64gb would be going in
I have a class 10 64GB in the Dock and a class 6 64GB MicroSD in the Prime
I had to reformat them to get them recognized and they have run fine since...

I run a Pretec 64GB Class 16 SD card in my dock that I bought from either Newegg or Amazon for ~$75 and I am very pleased. I've had it for 5+ weeks now with no trouble and many transfers on/off of it. About 2 weeks ago I formatted it NTFS and I now get write speeds from 16-24 mb per second! I was a bit nervous when I purchased it as I had never really heard of the Pretec brand before but, I have absolutely no complaints. I watch my 720p .mkv movies from it and hardly ever have a stutter. In my Prime run an HP 32gb Class 10 MicroSD and it also functions very well. Both are highly recommended.
I use 2 Sandisk 64gb mobile ultra microsd's in both the tab and dock. I have them both formatted as extFAT due to the size. The tab reads all 59gb's of the micro on both cards.

Format exFAT or NTFS. Fat32 does not support that size of drive and will also limit you to a maximum single file size of 4gb. Many HD movies can exceed this easily.
I have a 64GB sandisk, works great
FYI... Sandisk is now selling an "Ultra" 64gb SDXC (micro SD) card that is rated Class 10 and is UHS 1. The "Ultra" tag refers to their class of cards that have 30MB/second read speed (unk. what the write speed is). Sandisk also has an "Extreme Pro" class of cards that have 95MB/second read speed, but the largest "Extreme Pro" in micro SDXC is currently 16gb. If you shop hard, you can find the 64gb "Ultra" SDXC card for less than $60 currently.
It's been previously reported that Razr supports SDXC cards, including 64gb (see this thread).
For anyone who might buy one, a word of caution. Put it in your Razr and format it there first before trying to use it on your PC. I'm not sure whether I received a defective card, or I somehow ruined my card by trying to format it to FAT32 on a Windows machine (using Paragon Partition Manager). I spent hours screwing with it before giving up and returning it to the seller.
I have the same 32gb version in my razr right now and it runs great. I assume the 64gb one wouldn't be any different.
Got mine for $23 on Amazon. Couldn't pass it up for that price.

It depends...
Is your USB adapter USB 2.0?
I typically use the SD Card slot with the adapter provided with the micro SD card.
USB for transfer unless you have a good adapter can be slower.

Have you tried a HD 1080p recording on your 32gb class 10 card ? , if yes - did you find any difference when you tried the same recording on a class 4 ( assuming 30 fps and standard cache)?
Got my one for a few weeks, phone has never been so slow.
Not faulty (tested the card multiple times) - anyone else having issues? I feel like I have a Galaxy S1. Just weird behaviour - Swype takes forever for k/b to appear, winamp takes forever for thumbnails for albums to appear - just apalling performance from my phone.

Not faulty (tested the card multiple times) - anyone else having issues? I feel like I have a Galaxy S1. Just weird behaviour - Swype takes forever for k/b to appear, winamp takes forever for thumbnails for albums to appear - just apalling performance from my phone.

Thanks dude - how does one increase the cache size though? Is this some kind of repartitioning or a bit easier?
Anyone know how to increase cache size?

You can root and use Rom toolbox.

FYI... Sandisk is now selling an "Ultra" 64gb SDXC (micro SD) card that is rated Class 10 and is UHS 1. The "Ultra" tag refers to their class of cards that have 30MB/second read speed (unk. what the write speed is). Sandisk also has an "Extreme Pro" class of cards that have 95MB/second read speed, but the largest "Extreme Pro" in micro SDXC is currently 16gb. If you shop hard, you can find the 64gb "Ultra" SDXC card for less than $60 currently.
It's been previously reported that Razr supports SDXC cards, including 64gb (see this thread).
For anyone who might buy one, a word of caution. Put it in your Razr and format it there first before trying to use it on your PC. I'm not sure whether I received a defective card, or I somehow ruined my card by trying to format it to FAT32 on a Windows machine (using Paragon Partition Manager). I spent hours screwing with it before giving up and returning it to the seller.

I couldn't mount it or format it. My RAZR kept saying it was damaged. So, I formatted it in my PC first and all is well.
If you're under Windows XP, you'll need to have a program to do this. I used EaseUS Partition Master which you can get for free at http://download.cnet.com/EaseUS-Partition-Master-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html.
So far, the card works great and it's nice to have more room for DLC and songs.
I own this card.
It was a pain in the ass to format, but once I formatted it a few times, it worked great.
64gb picked up for like 70$ shipped from ebay. All my Community, Walking Dead and music and SO much more. Couldnt be happier
I just orderd sandisk ultra 16gb and I will probably recieve it next week. I have atm 8gb class 4 card and I want to move all of my stuff from my 8gb card to my 16gb, what is the best way to do it?
Also do I need to do anything before I use it on my phone? Do I need to format it in my PC?

You can simply put it in the phone. No need to do anything beforehand. If it requires you to format, the phone will tell you to do so.
I've given up completely on trying to get this to work in my phone. The phone will recognize it as 64GB, but will freeze up on numerous occasions even if I'm not accessing it. Does no one else have the freezing issue? Running Flick 5.0 Tornado
So what's the concensus on this "extreme" cards' performance while in the phone? Are backups faster? Transferring files to/from a dekstop while connected via USB faster?
