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.
TIA
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
http://www.picstop.co.uk/sandisk-mobile-ultra-micro-sdxc-card-c6-64gb
Seems like better deal, getting a refurb today:
http://www.amazon.com/Lexar-MicroSD...5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1327004140&sr=1-5
Looks like there is a 64G micro SD by Sandisk. Will be good for my collections of lossless music.
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Mobile-MicroSDXC-Memory-Adapter/dp/B005V7WIA2
Many claim that it works even on old Android devices. Just wonder if any Galaxy Player owners tried this yet?
Update:
Finally got one. Similar to the experience of other users, the player will think that the SD card is corrupted when mounted for the first time. Once you format it as instructed, it will work fine.
I have attached a couple of screenshots below for those who are interested. Two of the screenshots are benchmark of 64G Sandisk (Class 6) vs 32G Lexar (Class 10).

I think I read somewhere that the SDXC I cards are somewhat compatible with older devices but not fully. That "I" degignation is new and not supported by older SDHC devices. In older devices, the "I" cards would work at a slower speeds, I believe. In this case, Class 6... I think I have seen SDXC I cards being advertised as 50Mb/sec read speeds... at class 6, that would drop do avg. 6Mb/sec... so you loose the speed the "I" standard brings but the larger capacity always sounds good. In saying so, I have not tried these. I am however, very tempted...

I'd imagine it will work just fine. You just won't be able to take advantage of the "advanced speed" aspect.
If your interested in it, just purchase it with Paypal and return it if it doesn't work. I'd give it a try, but I'm fine with my 32GB + 16GB cards at this time.
If you do end up ordering it, please let us know what your results are...
Read times
Write times
Overall stability
And most important... if it works and can read the card!

That's a good news. I will probably take the plunge and report back. As for speed, class 6 should be sufficient for music storage. I used to use class 4 for that purpose, it was a bit pain to load the music onto it for the first time but playing music from it is not an issue.
Like Galaxy Player only supports 32Gb, sorry for my English
Works fine on my 5.0, formatted to FAT32, speeds around class 6 using r14 kernel on international
I am using one on the 5.0 U.S version.

Hi Ryzir.
I'd be interested if you could explain exactly what you did to make a 64GB microSD card work on a stock 4.0...?
I've tried formatting a 64GB Sandisk microSD card to FAT32 and my 4.0 doesn't recognise the card at all...
When I first inserted the card into the 4.0 it came up with some error (corruption?) and I selected format. Been working perfectly ever since.
I should note that I'm in the US. I believe there are slight differences between US and INT version.
Frustrating

I'm using what I think is the US version or at least with US language...still no joy. The card isn't recognised at all.
Unless you can offer more information looks like I'll have to continue without...or perhaps see if I can buy a UK based one....
The only other thing I can think of to suggest is to try and format with SD Formatter (Google it I can't post link yet)
FWIW I'm using SanDisk - Mobile Ultra 64GB microSDXC Class 6 Memory Card (Model: SDSDQY-064G-A11A)
32 class 10?

:-( Unfortunately doesn't look like any kind of reformatting is going to make my Galaxy S Wifi 4.0 compatible with a 64GB microSD card...
Oh well I guess I'll have to way until they (or someone else) provides an alternative device with appropriate support.

Did you get the sandisk one mentioned above? And have you considered the possibility of a "bad out of box" situation? they can happen especially with electronics this small, I had a Kingston DDR laptop memory (best in the business IMHO) that was "bad out of box" so it is possible.

I did use a Sandisk card and I've managed to use it in another device (an Android tablet) without a problem.
I'm really very confused..I can only assume that I'd need to root my device perhaps...or...well I don't know. It's really very annoying and frustrating.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

I doubt rooting would make a difference,but at the same time there's no reason not to. (i had mine rooted within 6 hours of getting it out of the mailbox, and I had NEVER touched android before that moment) Maybe try rooting and flashing a popular custom ROM, Like Klins R5 and the Terrasilent kernel, at the very least doing the terrasillent (or any kernel available) along with rooting will give you the ability to use voodoo sound, and that alone is worth doing it for.
thats just weird, it reading in the other android means it should be good to go in the player.
I have a microUSB to microSD / SD card converter that I just purchased for like $10. I tested a 64GB microSD card in it and it work just fine as USB storage. Now I'm wondering if a 128GB SD card would work.
Has anybody tried a 128 SD card as a USB storage device in a SGS3? Is the phone recognizing this storage dependent upon the external SD card converter / reader or the phone itself? I'd try myseld but I don't want to spend $150 only to find out that it doesn't work.

I think it will work....You mean a normal 128gb right?...It should work..No one thought a 64gb microXC would work on GB phones.and it did.
I believe the Galaxy S3 meets the hardware requirements for SDXC cards, so I would think it would work, but no guarantees.
I am curious to know, as I have a 32GB card now, so 128GB in a year or so will likely be my upgrade choice, if it works.
Remember that I'm talking about a 128 GB SD (NOT microSD) card used through a micro-USB to SD converter plugged in through the bottom of the phone. I'm NOT talking about a 128GB microSD through the back card slot, which doesn't yet exist.
I'm just thhinking this might be dependant upon the converter's ability to read a 128GB sd card, not so much the phone's, but I'm not sure.

I didn't even know you could do that! So I'm guessing you are plugging the card reader in to the bottom charging port and are then able to copy files to and from it? That's the idea right? I mean it would be kind of silly to walk around with a card reader dangling from the bottom of the phone

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006MJZOMW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A24Y22QERZZ9SS
...which is WAY cool. Like I said, a 64GB microSD card works fine, both diretly in the microSD slot on the adapter or in an SD card adapter plugged into the SD card slot. I have not tried an SD card over 32GB in the SD slot directly, because I don't have one.
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.

I would love one of these. Just too much for me right now.

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.
I use one 32gb class 10, works fine.

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.

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?
I want to change my 256GB MicroSD card to a 400GB one but my supplier says it won't work in the M5.
I don't think there is a reason why it shouldn't but has anyone tried a 400GB and can confirm it's working?
works fine in mine. i have never had an issue putting in a larger sd card no matter that the manufacturer said was compatible
It works..but without root it's totally unnecessary cause huawei doesn't allow "app2sd"

i do have mine rooted. I never bother to move apps to the sd card. I do however keep a 100gb of music, tons of video, and like to keep twrp backups for a long time. So it is easy to run out space on a 256gb card.

You mean it's unnecessary for you.,,
Like the previous poster I also like to fill up my SD card with lots of music and other data for offline use.
My 256GB card only has 218GB usable storage when formatted with ext2FS instead of the expected 238GB.
Why is that?
Using this app I have been successful with moving q lot of apps so my SD card.

I have the Samsung brand card. You need to be careful buying no name cards especially on eBay. There are a lot of counterfeit ones out there that will read as the large advertise in your PC but are actually smaller ones.

Ok thank you for the advice.
I ll try to buy the card from a local store or sold by amazon and not a reseller.
My tablet is not rooted, do you think it will make a difference for the 512GB SD card to be recognized properly ?

All my tablets and phones are rooted, so I can't say 100%. ...but at least 99% sure it won't make a difference.
Usually vendors are listening supported sd cards available at the moment of the device release. Over the years, I'm using high capacity sd cards in many devices which are not supporting them officially. Never had an issue. Only couple of times had to format it in the device itself.

Ihave to buy microSD or sdxc?
I would say (maybe not completely correct) that microsd is describing physical format, sdxc or similar technical specifications, like speed. Sdxc should work. I can check later which type I have.
