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
Hello!
Can anyone confirm that Nokia 16gb micro sdhc is works properly in HD or not?
Thx in advanced!

am using class 6 works fine.
I use an 8Gb, class 4 without any issues. Resco is installed on the card.
Although if your going to flash a ROM from a micro SD card use one < 8Gb.
Thanks,

From my experience, it's not the class or size that matters. It's the make. (Obviously a smaller card with a higher class will have faster r/w speeds, but that's not usually a noticeable issue.)
I never buy any SD cards now that are not SanDisk, and I can't remember the last time I had one that didn't work.
Some brands seem to get a lot of complaints.
The class wouldn't really matter if you're just using it to store data/apps.
I use a Nokia N900 and run Android off the SD card. A higher class gives a better speed when running an O/S off of one. But using one to store data/apps wouldn't give a noticable advantage of one class than another.
Obviously the size does matter but depends on what you'll use it for.
Plus for flashing use < 8Gb.
Thanks,
Al
PS. I agree with the brands. I don't buy cheap non-branded ones. Although I've never had an issue with any of the 'cheap' ones.
The size of the card depends on your needs. If you cram a lot of stuff in there or apps, then aim for 16gb or 32gb.
You can find 32gb on amazon from $70 up (sandisk, kingston, dane elec -- those are deem legit 32gb cards) and most of them should give real class 4 performance (even when they're listed as class 2 like sandisk).
For me I like San Disk,but I want to test Toshiba 16GB Class4.The seller told me that Toshiba quality is good also and I decided to buy it.
Never had any problem with file transfer and running android on SD card.
I've used it 4 months now.So far so good.
I use a kingston 8gb class 4.. Never had any issues with performance
Thanks for all the replies guys.
I'll probably run Android off the card initially with the standard WM 6.5 tweaked. Maybe put some SatNav on there too.
As for Apps depends what I come across. For WM I have an old large build of offline Wikipedia and some dictionaries etc.

I had my 8GB SanDisk in my G1 for 2 years, then my HD2 for about 8 months, then randomly one day it stopped working.
If I plugged it in, all of my content appeared on the phone such as pictures. Then after about 30 seconds it would freeze, and then the phone would say no SD card is inserted. I managed to copy all of my pictures across on the PC luckily before it froze.
Granted it was old - but they do fail after a while.
So anyone using a 32gb card in their gtab? I saw a thread about a 16gb class 10 from fry for a good deal, but seriously, a class 10? I'd be happy with a 32 class 4/6. I don't see the need for class 10 yet, but was wonderin what brand 32gb you guys using out there?
Links to where you bought would be great

I own this card and it works fine on the GTAB.

Micro SDcard - What goes on it?
I'm sure this is a "stupid" question from a newbie...
Last week I installed VEGAn 5.1.1 to the internal SDcard successfully using the instructions (thank you), because at the time I didn't have a micro SDcard. Now I do.
Should I re-install everything (CWM and VEGAn) to the SDcard or leave the card available for something else?
If I leave the installations on the internal SDcard, what will the micro SDcard be used for?
Thanks for your patience!
I bought a class 2 32gb Kingston on ebay for $43. It worked fine for me.
External card erasures
Has anybody had any problems losing data on the external card? I'm installing some movies on a 16G external card, and I've lost the data several times now.
It appears to lose the data when I mount/unmount the internal card for PC access (i.e. when I cable to my computer for file transfer). It seems something in the mount/unmount of the internal card corrupts the external card. I suppose a workaround would be to always remove the external card before cabling, but I shouldn't have to do that, should I?
I'm running VEGAn B5.1 if it matters.

Yes, it is a known problem. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895340
I put all of my music onto the SD card, as well as copying my backups there. (I use titanium backup, which makes a copy into the /sdcard directory, and then I copy it to the external card manually)
I have loaded a bunch of apps on my machine, and am no where near using up the internal memory, so I keep all the apps there. The one thing I am not doing right now is connecting to my work exchange server. I get a lot of email attachments from that channel, so I may use the external card as storage for email attachments, but I do not really need to do that right now.

USB, probably not. I don't know for sure, but probably the limitation will be FAT32. I'm not aware of gTab has NTFS modules, so that's probably going to be the limit for USB, or perhaps there is a 48bit addressing built into the hardware/kernel, then approx 137GB is a limit. Maybe somebody could try to hook up a harddrive into USB and see. But as for the SD card, there is an SD spec.
SD max limit = 4GB
SDHC max limit = 32GB
SDXC max limit = 2TB
generally speaking while there is a 4GB SD card, the implementation of 4GB SD card is spotty at best and some require you to have certain format to work, otherwise the card sometime fail to read/write. So, you won't see much of it, 2GB SD usually be the norm. As far as SDXC goes, it's fairly new, some SDHC controller do support it, but many don't. The pin for all of them are the same so they are backward compatible. I would generally avoid choosing random 4GB SD or 32GB SDHC. Do your research extensively on those card otherwise they may not work w/ your device.

16 internal 32 external minimum 64gb best IT says that in the manual on line. Right now 64gbSDHC are not being made. The manufactures have reserved that for SDHX. I rooted mine to ClocWork and TNT lite added a class 10 32gb SDHC. Have also formatted a Seagate 500GB GO Flex HDD usb 2.0 to Fat 32 496 GB and I load my Movies that are converted to mpeg 3 so I can carry it to work on slow days. I did all this because the stock rom/root kept dropping files and losing apps. I attached a full size media keyboard from Dell that has 2 Usb ports and it works fine also. Mouse did not. It is all carried in a case with a keyboard I got from Amazon. I just LOVE IT.

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

Yeah, that's kinda what I figured.
I have seen one mention of someone having problems with their 64gb microSD card. Something about only being able to put on 3 games.
Now I asked them if perhaps they got a fake card, the card or their phone might be faulty? And if they have tried to get replacements.
As I have seen many on here talking about and buying various 64gb ranging from class 6 to class 10 / uhs 1..
I see people running speed tests and all around touting their happiness with it's performance in the SGS3.
So my question is how many, if any, have a problem with their SD on their SGS3?
Provide, if you would be so kind, any details that would help, such as brand, size, model.
I really hope it's an isolated issue.
Thanks,

I'm using a Sandisk 64gb microsdxc class 10, however sync seem to fail with Mediamonkey and Media player.
Initial sync works fine writing 40GB of mp3 however subsequent sync reports error/hang.
Card works fine in a PC and I tested it with 50GB of 1080P movies, it copied there well and played back flawlessly, so I think my card is good..
However there is something up with MTP sync....
Found 3 others people with the same issue here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=66514
I'm gonna try syncing with kies tonight...
Everyone posting success with their 64GB sdxc, can you specific how you sync your media to the card?
Just straight drag and drop, Windows Media Player, Media Monkey, Songbird etc ?

In the phone specifications you only have a 32gb external memori but if you format the 64gb sd inside sgs3 sometimes it recognizes it well. Try everything. :good:
Im using the 64GB class 10 and I did find I had to reformat it to fat32 as I was getting problems with exfat, like unseen folders in mtp mode and missed songs in my music folder even though all files were there.
Since then no probs at all and I use a drag drop system with syncing media although the 1st time I transfered my itunes songs(1922 tunes) I converted them all to mp3 and put the sdcard into an adaptor to speed up the transfer.
My 64gb ExtSd is working fine the problem is when trying to move apps to it with programs like Move2sd and the like. Then it says that the my Internal memory. Is NOT REAL BUT EMULATED

I am having great problems with a 64gb Class 10 card. If the data is copied to the disk before being inserted in the phone it registers as a damaged card.
However if you clear all the data via the PC then insert the blank disk it is recognised normally. You can then transfer the same data via a USB link from the PC via the MTP application. You may well have to load the Samsung USB drivers.
Sadly if you restart the phone it immediately reverts to the damaged card error message and you have to go all through the same procedure again. No ideal.
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.
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.

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?
