In the future I will buy a 128GB SD and will make a mod based on the "galaxy note 4 with 512GB storage." I'm just waiting to get my adapter purchase on Aliexpress.
questions:
I may have problems with Android MediaScanner?
The durability of the memory card can be affected by the huge amount of files that will be kept?
I had a SanDisk 64GB for a few months, on a night I downloaded some files, which in the end amounted to 20GB in the morning I could not transfer these files via MTP or an old adapter I have, then ziped files and sent to my PC. Shortly thereafter I formatted my SD and had the error dirty volume, and SD boot partitions were corrupted in accordance with the Hex Active Disk Editor.
This is my third or fourth SD, had two 32GB and 64GB only one. It's really boring to me swap memory card each semester.
Do you recommend using an SD card in FAT32 or exFAT to store a huge number of files?

I have a 32gb sd card and formatted with my nook tablet. I've tried to put the videos and photos files (over 2gb) to my device. It can be appeared first time. But some of the files disappeared after I reboot the device or connect to pc. And also I can't download some of the exter download files (almost 200mb to 1gb) from apk. I want to know it's the problem of the format method (fat 32) or my card problem? Thanks!
is that the way to partition the sd? HOw to do for nook tablet? Thanks
please help........!!!!
You do know that FAT32 will not handle a file over 4GB.....
I would format the card in a card reader on your PC and not let the Tablet do that.
It doesn't appear that he is trying to load a single file of over 4GiB, but rather that the collection is of the sizes that he mentioned.
Will FAT32 not handle a 32GiB drive, with a bunch of files of just say 50~500MiB each? Because I remember not too long ago doing just that on my PC...
FAT32 Should read just fine....hmm ...perhaps reformat the card for.another format and see if that fixes the issue? If not, your tab could have a bug somewhere. Try a factory reset
I thought the NT could only handle 16gb expandable storage. The guy in the store told me it is a combined 16gig internal and external to achieve 32gig and a 32gig card would not work.

I am using a 32gb card in my Nook at the moment. It seems to recognize the entire 32gb just fine. Worth the <$40 it cost.
And to the OP, formatting my 32gb SD card was a b***h. I had to format it in win7 as just popping it in the Nook didn't work. I formatted as FAT32. I would suspect you may need to re-format the card with a PC as other posters have suggested.
I've been using a little free program from http://www.sdcard.org called SDformatter that works great for formatting SD cards.
By the way, some of my extra download files for the game displayed as 0b. And I can't delete.

That is the suggested formatter for the SD card in the Nook Tablet based on a thread buried deep here on XDA.
hi,
i am using htc incredible s.some days ago i tried to make folders in my 8 gb kingston like for movies,songs etc.but to my surprise when i changed from disk drive option to charge only,i culdnot find any video or could play previous videos using mx video player.i again changed the option to disk drive and saw that there was no folder there and lost dir had all the files.any how i changed the card and bought 32gb kingston.but the problem is same.and once this problem araises,i cannot play any video file except which i have made from its camera.i am so depressed here that i am thinking of selling my phone
i am using the stock rom 2.3.5 gingerbread.plz help me out.
no help from any 1
i figured out the problem.but again a little confused.my sd caed doesnt seem to work properly.how to check and fix the sd card?
I think corrupted or "lost" files go in that folder. Did you unmount the card on the PC before switching from disk storage to charge only on android?

I think You may try to use formating tool from this site www.sdcard.org It usually helps with bigger SD cards.
Worth to try I think.
Connect your phone to your computer in mass storage mode, or preferably use a card reader and copy all your data from SD card to a backup folder. Format your SD card to FAT32 with 32kB cluster size. You can use the normal right click>format option in Windows/Linux/Mac. Uncheck Quick Format (in Windows) and let it do a full format. It'll take around 20-30 minutes for a 16GB card. This will fix any filesystem errors that are causing data loss. Once that's done, copy back all your data as it is back to the SD card. Now your card should work fine for a long time. SD cards tend to get corrupted over time, especially with Android, so doing this once in a while is helpful, whenever your card gives you any problem. I have had this same problem a few times and this fixed it for me.
I have data corruption on sd too but it happens often to data of any type/size and I believe that the corrupted data are moved to LOST.DIR They have no extension and cannot be opened or recognized. So I'm losing apps, photos, videos, anything. My device is an LG P500 and the sd card is a Transcend 4gb class 6.
What cluster size do you recommend for a 4 gb sd? 4kb is the default for its size and I believe that 32kb is too much for such a small card.
I can't determine the cause, but certain directories & files that I put on sd-ext are disappearing on me, some within hours (wallpaper folder). The other strange thing happening is a lot of my image files (.png icons) become unreadable & appearing to be corrupted. These same files can be stored on internal SD without this happening. I have checked the disk in windows w/o errors.
The only thing I can suspect is, not too long ago I accidentally partitioned my SD-ext to 0mb in CWM.
I am using the lastest Kang CM7.2 Photon Dev Team. Install location: Internal, and "use internal storage" checked.
I once had this same issue with a brand new SD card I bought off of ebay.
It turns out it was a fake sandisk sd card from china. It was a 1 gig hacked to look like a 16 gig, so whenever you would try to write files above 1 gig, the file index would show up but the file itself would be written to nothing leaving a corrupted or missing file.
Never buy sd cards straight from china...
Actually I have bought fake ones from ebay before as well. But I have not done that for years. I bought mine from Newegg. Also I had about 6 gigs on it before w/o issues. Right now I have only a few hundred MBs.
I tried to copy a 6gb video file to my external memory card and I received an Explorer error message, when it was close to being completed, that the file size was too big for the device. I have a Sandisk 64gb card that I confirmed to be formatted to Exfat. I also have plenty of remaining space. I have had no troubles copying files smaller than 4gb and I have had no other issues with the card since I have had it now for a few months.
Playing videos on the Note 2 was the only reason why I purchased the 64gb card. I do not have enough space to copy the file to my internal card.
Anyone have any ideas of what I can check for to solve this issue?

It is the phone/JB. S3 has the same issue. Put the SD card in your computer or share it via wireless network.
Thanks, I will take the SD card out and copy it in the PC.
Hello everyone,
My sd card suddenly formatted by itself, and now it's doing me some trouble... It's a SanDisk Ultra 32GB microSDHC and now some apps can't write to it.
What can I do to fix this?
Format it with the SD tool you can download, check the real capacity as there are many fakes sold.
If it's genuine and format doesn't solve the problem then throw it away (or return to seller for warranty).

A known issue of s3 with Sandisk sd. I suggest using the built-in Windows Disk Management tool to completelly delete card's volume (notice that there is a hidden partition of 10Mb in the card, separated from storage partition that should also be deleted- the partision manager should show them both).
After deleting and merging both partitions as one unalocated space, format it all by using exfat method.
A word of procution- I recommend to do this when the micro sd is connected directly to your pc using a sd card reader- just to make sure you won't delete phone's internal sd by accident...
