I bought a Xperia Mini pro SK17i a few days back. It came with a 2GB memory card. I want to upgrade to larger space.
Please tell me should I go for 16GB or 32GB one. Will there be any problems? I mean any slowing down or hanging etc. Also tell me what class of microSD should I buy?
Im using a Class6,32G card on my mini,i think it's fast enough.
It matters how much space you need. Class 4 and above is fast enough for the XMP, not it is just your choice how much space you need . Im using Class 4, 32GB SD Card and I haven't got any slow or problem with loading my music or pictures.
I'm on a 16gb class 6, no problem at all.

Go for a 32 GB one if you think you'll be able to utilise the space. If you pick a class 6 or 10 card you really shouldn't have any speed problems. Obviously a higher class card is faster - class 10 FTW!
Micro SD Card Suggestion
Well 16Gb or 32GB is based on your requirements
My suggestion would be 16GBclass 4 or 16GBclass 6
I am using 16GBclass 6 on my SE Live With Walkman and it has no problem
for me
Class are based on their speeds
Class2 -->2Mbs
Class4 -->4Mbs
Class6 -->6Mbs
Class8 -->8Mbs
Class10 -->10Mbs
Use "Crystalbenchmark" to test the read/write speed of your cards
First check the read/write speed of your 2GB sd card that came with
your device and this help you to differentiate speeds of different class
types

These are only minimal speeds, these can be higher.
I have Class 4, Sandisk, 16GB, Write is 8.7 MB/s, Read 28.9 MB/s.
There's a thread on this subject somewhere here.
What you need to consider as well is access speed.
Higher class cards transfer faster, but to do so, data has to be accessedfirst, and that takes longer with class 10 than class 2 for example.
That means, if you are goinf to work a lot with larger files, it pays you to get a high class, if on the other hand, you are going to onstall apps to work with small files a lot, it will actually slow you down.
Edit:
I've found it, anybody interested should look at the tests results

There is a very good review here.
Not sure the development forum is the right place, but it's the only forum that is Xperia Ray related. I wanted to say that I bought a 64GB microSDXC card, reformatted it to FAT32 in my computer, and my Xperia Ray accepts it just fine, all GB's are there.
I mention this in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25023349#, but that is not an Xperia thread.
See attachment.. (sorry, can't find screenshot on the ICS beta, still waiting for the release in my country, or an image that I can flash from my mac)
I was not patient enough to fill the full 64gb with the SD Card Tester, but I went up to 33gb, so past the 32gb limit.
wow, that's good news
ps : screenshot in ics : hold volume down and power button for a second, and voila
Nice, my 32 is pretty full but I'll probably wait till the price drops.

Nice man
but the 64GB card price is too expensive to me
This is great news! Which brand of the card are you using? We can perhaps maintain a list of supported cards for the ray.
The memory card I used is:
SanDisk Mobile Ultra 6 MicroSDXC 64GB
By the way, the SD Card Tester indeed reached a continuous write speed of 6 MB/s, in agreement with the card being "Class 6". Initially it peaked at something around 10 MB/s.
there was a recent drop in price for this card to USD 69.50, and i was about to purchase it, but change my mind and got the new sandisk mobile ultra class 10, i will still get this sometime next week.
if anyone needs to know the speed.

With the recent drop in price, the class 10 just showed up, so i'm guessing a 64GB class 10 should be around the corner.

You can't format directly from the phone, the option is unavailable.
With Win 7 64bits, you need a software in order to format the micro sd card (example : EaseUS partition master home edition)
You can
I can confirm I formatted my SanDisk SDXC 64GB in the phone (gingerbread at that time). I was and I am still not able to use my card using the reader connected to Win7 directly, but connecting throught the phone works as expected. Great thing. Really looking forward to 128GB
You guys listen to music on ray a lot or what?
Taking a lot of pics and still not used half of my 4GB class 2, but I will move to 8GB class 10 one for better speed.
Glad to know a 64gig works on our ray, I thought it could only cope with a 32gb. Foggy I have a 32gb in mine atm but only have 9gb left, yes I do have lots of photos and videos and music lol

Hi guys, i have a great (for me haha) doubt.
I like to record a lot of videos with my smartphone, like to have a lot of music and heavy games when i wan to, but my micro sd 8gb class 4 isnt enough.
I interesed in use a 32gb micro sd class 10, how as Kingston or Sandisk. WT19i Supports that?
Additionaly, i have an offer for a sandisk ultra 32gb class 10 (refferential link) Does Wt19i support this memory?
What do you think?
Wait ur oppinions

i have sk17i, and it recognizes 32gb class10 samsung micro sd, i think both phones are nearly the same, so the wt19i should also support
I bought a new 32GB sd card, and after I fill it with data, the phone starts to lag I have rooted wt19i and the sd card is not broken. I dont know if this is possibly a rom issue
Yeah it should work i use a sandisk class 4 32gb works perfick in my sk17i

an sd card class does not raise compatibility issues it actually can boost up the performance at higher speeds like on class 10
I have a galaxy mini and it supports class 10 sd cards so don't worry
I have 64gb sdxc, class 10 (made by kingston) and works perfectly, finaly sd card where class means something... only downfall is a bit of delay when I plug phone as disk to pc... but its not that bad too

Is it formatted to FAT32? Does the phone recognize all the memory?
aye serious lol I thought I would be limited to class 10 by the way is there any other performance issues besides a bit of lag plugging it into a pc ?
and also are those microsd cards UHS-I or UHS-II ? and has anyone found a limit to the size the card can be up to aka when putting data on it over a certain limit the data becomes corrupted ?

I have a UHS 1, 64GB SD card by SanDisk (I know it isn't the 200 like you asked) and that works quite well.
I'm sure you have looked into SD card speeds (or have knowledge about them), but if you don't the UHS class 3 is the fastest.
I'm guessing to be able to use the 200GB one you would have to partition it, however I aren't entirely sure.

I have a Samsung 128GB EVO SD Card, which is UHS Class 1 and it works very well indeed, I will also attach a benchmark for your reading pleasure :good:
P.S: I should add that my Xperia Z2 still thinks that using the SDCard (Internal) is better for 4K camera than the external SDCard1 (Samsung EVO), assuming the internal is much faster as it is on-board chip.
UHS-1 or Class 10, are very similar with write speeds on Z2. I have tested UHS-1 and UHS-3 cards, the difference is about 12mb/s in write speeds on Z2!!!!
I have UHS-3 and I record 4K video directly on SD without any delay in saving, reading or writing! The inbuilt 16GB as well as my Sony UHS-3 card have same speeds in writing.

As previously stated 128GB
I am using a Sony branded 64gb. I had a PNY 64gb and it had problems in this phone and two others. So I am staying away from PNY from now on.
I saw that there are 256gb micro sd cards. Is it fake or it can be real?
Yep and they only have up to 200GB

I'm looking at a Samsung SD card from Amazon Canada. Most likely 128gb. The only reason I'm leaning toward Samsung is because they're water, dust, xray, magnet, shock, everything proof. And they have great reviews.
Every card of UHS-3 category is fine. Sony or Samsung or Strontium, all work well. Maximum writing speed on Z2 won't be more then 20mbps in any condition.

Thanks for the info, I was bit confused with this UHS thingy.
Any phone can read/write upto 1TB

So does the phone really support UHS - Class 3?
I have this sd card on xperia z2 but for some odd reason its causing the phone to reboot. I don't know if its the sd card issue or the the phone. The phone wasn't able to write some of the data on it during my last tour during photographing. A lot of the stuff was corrupted. I came home and wrote stuff on it and everything is being written without a problem via those sd card usb adapters. Anyone know what might be going on?
Any card above UHS-1 is useless as Z2 won't be able to get read/write speeds on UHS-2 or higher.
However they will be useful if you frequently copy data from PC to card with a card reader.
Anyone tried 200/256 GB card?
GSMArena states that Z2 can support up to 256GB (info by them or Sony), but here You wrote that officially it's max 128.
Thinking about buying one, but it will be in a week or two, so maybe someone tried and can say it works or not before I will test it by myself?
