Any official announcements about 128GB microSDXC card availability timeframes?
Meanwhile, would one of these approaches work?
A. Small microUSB card reader hooked up to i717, with a standard-size 128GB SDXC card.
B. Small battery-powered card reader (does such thing exist?) with a standard-size 128GB SDXC card, connected to i717 over Bluetooth.
Has anyone used such a contraption? What does it do to battery life?
Thanks
P.S. Currently, in addition to the Note, I have to carry around a bulky Archos 5 IT 500GB : (

Thanks - that's about the same size/weight as my Archos, though.
And I'd like to replace it with something much more compact that doesn't have spinning media: microSDXC (too small), SDXC, Flash or SSD, in order of preference...

Plus this: http://www.amazon.com/Lexar-Backup-...&ie=UTF8&qid=1346774393&sr=1-1&keywords=128GB
it'll get you to 128GB, it's flash and it's small.
Man, I hope this means they are offloading their stock to make their way for Class 20, or 128GB.

Hi,
Does anybody know if the transformer tablet can take a 64GB microSD card?
Since I ordered 16GB model, it would be nice to make up for lost space and add a 64GB microsd card in there.
first off, thats an SDXC card, NOT a MicroSD, or even an SDHC card.
The Transformer supports up to a 32GB MicroSD (which is the max, but also a rip off at $80+ where as you can get 16GB for $25.
and the keyboard supports SDHC cards to which i think go up to 64GB.
Personally, i'm buying a 16GB class 6 MicroSD and then a 32GB SDHC card for the keyboard for a total of 64GB of storage.

I've read reports that the keyboard dock will support full size SDXC cards but until they arrive in people's hands I'll take that with a pinch of salt.
Yes the official site says that the dock will accept SDXC cards, so in theory it should take up to 2tb cards (when they come out). As stated above, it remains to be seen though.
So what is the largest and fastest card you can put into the tablet itself (not the dock)? And can someone recommend one?

Largest would be 32GB and I would recommend this for its price, capacity and its class-10:

WOW! i actually though that not 2 months ago those were 120$+? and a class 10:O may start to think about it... (but still for this price i think you can have 3 16gb but still....)
thats cool that it'll take the XC cards as well did not know that.
but regardless, thats only the keyboard dock.
The tablet itself will only take up to a 32GB microsd. which currently is a waste of money IMO

And I take it the wintec is doing just fine in the transformer? If so, to be clear, is it the wintec 32gb class 10 micro sdhc that is selling on newegg for $77.49? Sorry for not posting a link, I do not have enough post history to do so yet.

Technically SDXC cards could work, all you need to do is format it to FAT32 and maybe some driver changes to the system, but i cannot verify that since no microsd cards exit yet
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SD_card#SDHC_and_SDXC_compatibility_issues
Electrically and physically SDFC and SDXC are the same, just higher capacity and ExFat is the default file system standard for the new cards
Why the name change and new standard?
Well you can thank Microsoft for that
FAT16/FAT32, which is standard for flash memory supports up to 2 TB
Windows operating systems allow you to format to a max of 32GB
The reason being dates back to Windows 2000
(although versions of Windows NT way before used NTFS, But Windows 2000 was more available to the home user)
FAT32 was common, and microsoft wanted people to use the NTFS file system, so they decided to limit the creation of partition to 32GB for FAT32
Well that has stuck with all future versions of Windows, dont know why
Also Microsoft created ExFat, as a replacement for FAT as a removable storage file system, supports new goodies, and its a Microsoft Patent pending file system
So the SD foundation created the SDXC format because since most people use windows and cannot format their SD cards larger then 32GB why not just create a new standard that supports ExFat by default so people can easily format it
(You can use other formats such as NTFS, EXT, and etc.)
**Note that FAT32 filesystem does suck because it cannot support files larger then 4GB
I probably left a few things out during my ranting

I have the 16GB version in my Transformer. It was in my Evo, partitioned with ext3 for a few months, and I never had a single problem with it. It also performed @ class 10 speeds after applying the sdcardfix zip file.

.FYI I tried a 64Gb SDXC card formatted to FAT32 and the transformer will not recognize it . A 16Gb SDXC I had worked just fine thought. I don't see info on an update for the memory size. Anyone know if it is coming or in the Ice Cream Sandwich OS?

I know the OP is a bit old by now, but thanks for this. I just purchased it for $41 and some change to replace my 16GB card which my wife will inherit. I'm always flashing custom ROMs and kernels and such and like to keep some other files on there too like music and pics so that they survive full wipes. It isn't too hard to start to fill up 16GB (right now I have 3.3GB free). Now I will have plenty of room to play around with for awhile. I believe I paid about the same or more for the 16GB card at BB, but had to because I had a brick not realising that rooting required the card. Didn't want to pay $90 or so in store for the slow 32GB card they had when they were advertising a class10 32GB online for alot less.

make sure the card is formatted to FAT32 properly. windows 7 doesnt allow you to format to FAT32 only exFAT and NTFS.

Same here. Works perfect. All 60GB of it...
Would this mean that any of the 64 gig cards should work ok?
Or if you guys have links to the specific card you purchased, I can get that one as well..

The only cards I know of are sandisk 64gb micro sdcards, that's what I use. I got mine from picstop

Seems like better deal, getting a refurb today:
http://www.amazon.com/Lexar-MicroSD...5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1327004140&sr=1-5
I know its a microSD and the max for microSD is 32gb... however. I have fashioned a case to use a micro-sd converter. I do notice that once you are at 64gb it is a SDXC not SDHC standard. The connections are the same, but is our phone capable of addressing the memory past 32gb?
I would LOVE to drop a 128gb sd card into this bad boy!
I just remembered there was a thread based on pretty much the same question as you just asked, just head on over to the thread link I will post and read it up, but the answer is mainly on the page I will link it to

cheers and hit thanks if you want.
edit: the answer above is only if you plan on usind SDXC, but I remember certains users hooking up a mini drive or some sort to their device so yes our device can use more than 32GB at a cost though of design?... just not SDXC cards though.

Dang well since sdxc is the only 64gb + sd cards.... darn!

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

Hi everyone!
Had a couple of hours hands-on time with the S3 today, wanted to let everyone know that exFAT support is present and working, and 64GB cards work fine (if anyone still doubts that they work on all Androids with card slots).
Will have some more info up soon too

S3 easily, the One X has better design, looks and screen (although these are all subjective), but the S3 overpowers it everywhere for functionality.

I'm 99% certain these are the same item. You will notice that the one that is double the price is sold by a third party seller, not Play. I've noticed that Amazon also sometimes have the same item listed twice with different prices. They even had this microsd card listed twice with different prices, both sold by Amazon. Look here scroll down to Amazon's own price of £164.98 and then look here. Same item from Amazon £49.69.
Anyway I've ordered mine from Play at £44.99.

what is the advantage of formatting a sdcard as exFat compared with fat32 (vfat?) or ext4
SanDisk sdxc 64gb formatted to exfat will not work on Android 4.2.2. roms.

Samsung/Lexar (aka Crucial/Micron) and Sandisk all make their own NAND flash for MicroSD cards. Others buy from these guys. All three should be good, just make sure not to get their low end versions like Samsung's EVO or Sandisk's Ultra, they use lower quality/much slower NAND. Get the Samsung Pro/Sandisk Extreme/Lexar's high end.
I just bought a PNY 128GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-I Grade 1 card on Amazon. It's advertised as up to 40 MB/s transfer but benchmarks show it's about 70 MB/s read and 20 MB/s write which is plenty for 1080p content performance. It's the best bang for your buck at $70 for 128GB and so far I've not had any issues!
