SanDisk 200GB microsd works with marshmallow (6.0) - Shield Tablet Accessories

Just got my SanDisk 200GB microsd card from Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V62XBQQ
Seems to be working OK. Shows a formatted size of 180GB. I wanted to test this card due to being a road warrior and I transfer a lot of my Plex library to listen and watch on flights. I did not have time to do any benchmarks. I just wanted to let you guys know that it seems some larger size microsd cards seem to work with my K1.

Nice find! What are the factory r/w that it's supposed to have?

Attached benchmarks from PC Mag.
Can anyone recommend a good android sd card benchmark app?

Omg...almost laptop lol...
Actually my previous one had 80gb! good find.

Did Nvidia lift the 128GB limit?
What about formatting? NTFS or FAT32 or exFAT? They wanted to support more, but I never realized any news about that.

Don't know if the 128GB limit is based on their QA testing or a software/hardware limit. It doesn't seem to be a limit on my K1. Have not tried NTFS/EXT4/FAT32. So far just using it as internal storage on Marshmallow (Android 6.0).

Just a tip for anyone with lack of knowledge: SDXC supports up to 2TB, though most OEMs will advertise what is currently being sold at most for the general consumer. Just look at any modern compact system camera for reference with RAW support and you'll know what I'm talking about.

There's NO SUCH THING as 128GB limit. It's either 64GB or 2TB and nothing in between.
Even without exFAT, you can make 128GB SD/TF card work by formatting it as FAT32 on your computer, it just won't be standard-compliant. To claim [insert arbitrary >64 number]GB support, you must have exFAT.

I own a nvidia shield tv and a sandisk 200Go microsd. I can insure you that 1/ nvidia just test with 128Go sdcards ntfs formated, nothing else, 2/ the 200Gb even when ntfs formated (196go left) is seen as a 183Go disk by the shield, but 3/ even if that 183Go I have frame freeze and sounds glitches when playing moovies from the disk. I suspect a serious limitation within android 6.0 to support "large" sdcard. I have no issue playing the exact same movie on the shield from a 16go usb key. I tried ntfs, hfs+, exfat (the worse which makes several media player crash) with no real success. In my opinion, it's related to the size and also bitrate (read in this case) not sustained by the shield / android tv. I ask nvidia to look into the issue and a "case" should be opened but if it's related to android it's more an os issue that google should take care of. This is the answer I am expecting from nvidia next level support. Best regards,

Can anyone confirm that 200 GB micro SD works fine ? I'm about to purchase one ( same as OP, I'm kinda of a road warrior, need my storage space)
Benchmarks? Issues with playback or gaming?

I second this question because they are on sale at Amazon for only $60 right now ;p seems like a steal ;p

I ordered mine today from BHPhotovideo (i get taxed in CA for amazon). I'll report back in a few days after I receive my microsd.

Awaiting your results , eagerly

Happy to report it's working! I just recieved it from BHPhotovideo.com for $60 and I just put it into my k1 and it recognized right away.
"SanDisk SD card"
1.50MB used of 183GB
- FAT 32 default. I'll leave it as FAT32 because this is really for Plex sync storage =p I don't need 4+gb files to be on my tablet.

Any chance you could do a quick benchmark?
By the way super thanks(!!) for the update

in my K1 this sd card brings
Read: 66.19 MB/s
Write: 15.47 MB/s
But cannot format the card as internal storage. Trying so gives me the message that SD card is too slow to be used as internal storage
Internal Memory's Speed is
Read: 135.72 MB/s
Write: 31.80 MB/s

Please format the card as NTFS and try again. NTFS is significantly faster on the Shield.
But this will likely only work on external storage mode, because the device re-reformats the card for internal storage again.

[Q] 64GB microsd card for Asus Transformer?

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

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 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.

64 GB MicroSDXC's or 64 GB SDXC's

A question for all you TFP owners, I just bought mine and am loving it with ViperMOD's root. My question is, does it accept 64 GB MicroSDXCs or SDXCs.
I'd love to put all my MLP Episodes as well as other movies on an SDXC, or would you recommend just using a portable HDD? (I have a 1 TB USB 3.0 (but it's backward compatible to 2.0)).

Im using a 64gb SDXC full sized card on my keyboard and another 32gb sdhc microsd which is always in my tablet. If you do choose to use a SD card solution i recommend you using a card reader to transfer files as the computer to keyboard is really slow.

The speeds are fine if your just watching a movie, but the time it takes to transfer files is hella slow. Which is why I recommended you to use a card reader.
Does the prime also accept 64GB microSD SDXC UHS-I?
I've got an 32gb micro sdxc in mine. I had to reformat it on my Ubuntu laptop using Gparted because FAT32 can't handle files over 4GB. First attempt, I formatted card as EXT3 but tablet wouldn't recognize it. Second attempt, I formatted card as NTFS, and it worked! Copied 9Gb mkv 1080p h.264 high profile movie and it plays! I also read on another board that an user confirmed that the new 128gb Lexar SDXC cards work in the dock's SD slot.

"Does the prime also accept 64GB microSD SDXC UHS-I?"
I use a ScanDisk Mobile Ultra 64GB micro SDXC -I. It was already preformatted with efat.
Takes hours to fill it up but movies are played with no lag or anything.
Thanks guys, just ordered a Lexar 128 GB SD and 64 GB MicroSD XC
Please be aware. 1 week ago i received 2 of my ScanDisk Mobile Ultra 64GB microSDXC cards that i ordered on Amazon. One of them was defected, none of the devices i tried using it on couldn't detect it at all. Amazon refunded me the money for it within a day and i ordered another one instead.
Now i have a question. Is it better to leave the ExFAT format of the card to use it with Prime tablet or it is better to format it to NTFS? I wonder which would have better speed in result, while they both support large files. Also which allocation unit size is optimal to have the best read/write speeds?

[q] 64gb sdxc

Hi guys,
I've did a search on the forums before posting but it seems no ones ansked the question!
Has anybody tried using a 64GB SDXC card via the SD connector?
I've already formatted the card into FAT32 but any data that's written to the card AFTER 30Gb +- cannot be read....although Im able to browse around the file structure.
any ideas guys?
Thanks all!

I've been using a 64gb SanDisk cruiser USB drive since I bought my tab. I know it is not a direct answer to your question, but the thumb drive works fine in the official USB adapter.
I can however see the whole drive in windows, both XP PRO, and Win 7. The drive came pre-formatted FAT32 from SanDisk, entirely one partition, and apparently readable fine on anything I have run across. From what I understand, you should be able to format your card NTFS if you are using pershoot's kernel.
Later,
Jason
USB mass storage watcher in the market will allow you to mount a NTFS drive with stock firmware.
Since the tab only has a OTG USB connector, if the card adaptor supports sdxc then it should work. When you formatted the card, what was it formatted as before? Was it a quick or full format?

thanks for the replies guys,
its a PNY 64GB SDXC it originally came in a exFAT format, Ive partitioned in quick format via 2 different programs.
Try a full format. With a large cluster size like 16k.

One other thing to mention would be that there are tons of counterfeit SD cards on the market, and unless you got yours from a very reputable seller, there is a chance that it is hacked to report a higher capacity then it has.
The comment you made about being able to navigate the file system, but not open anything past 30g is pretty close to exactly how those counterfeit cards behave. I would be surprised if they used a 32g card as a base for the hacked card, but anything is possible... Anyhow, try H2testW, a google search will turn up download links. It is a free program that will write data to a target device until it fills the device. Then it will attempt to read it back and verify it's contents. After a certain number of mismatches, it will report the memory as likely defective.
This saved my butt a few times on some SDHC card purchases. It takes quite some time to run, especially with large drives, but the big plus here is that it verifies the flash memory before you put it in a device and loose a bunch of data that might be irreplaceable.
Good Luck,
Jason
Ive attempted to do a full format still no luck
The card isnt a knock off, its from a reputable seller and the contents are available to browse ( incl. read write) on a normal desktop computer.... could it just be Android doesnt like 64gb SDXC cards?
I see, I thought you meant that after 30g you could just see the file structure but not access. I'm not sure if it is possible with the tab's USB otg adapter, but if you can format it with the tab, it might work. I know this has worked for people with phones that the manufacturer said was limited to 32g sdhc, phone would not read the full 64g until the people formatted with Android and card in phone.
Other than that, I'd try format ntfs (think only win 7 has this capability for flash) but there are stand alone apps, as well as Linux and parted... Other than that I don't have any other ideas... It might be it doesn't like the xc cards, but I don't think anything electrically changed with the card spec. This is complete speculation, but it seems that if it can handle the 64GB of nand flash in my thumb drive, it ought to be able to deal with the 64GB of nand flash in a sdxc card.
Good luck,
Jason

SDXC is different to SDHC in the same way that SDHC is different to SD.
Does the card reader indicate being able to support SDXC? If not, it's understandable why it is not working as expected and I'm a bit surprised it's partly working.
Are you using the same card reader for the computer with the Galaxy TAB?
At least with SD, they made a clear indication for different memory types / supported sizes. With XD, there was a 512MB limit where older devices would not recognise anything higher but the higher capacity cards were also just called XD.

Best Storage Solution for 4K movies/images...

Well I've been getting 4k movies ready for my z5p and the size of them is massive...
Worried that my current 64Gb micro sd would be full after one film I went and bought a 200Gb one direct from SanDisk (I'm not trusting anyone on eBay when it comes to memory cards)
And all I can say is its fantastic! You get about 189GB out of the box and after transferring all 34Gb of images and music off my other card I can also say it's fast!
I paid £116 Gbp for it from SanDisk direct.
Boxed Product
I opted for a Samsung 128gb, that was not my first choice though, I wanted the Lexar 128gb as it had a very fast read and write speed but was out of stock and coming in at around £70.
The Samsung cost me £40-£50 as a prime deal on Amazon, only reason I got it.
I've had the 128GB SanDisk card for about a year now, since I bought an LG G4 back in April 2015 and it's been great. Moved over to the Xperia Z5P and still great. The only thing I haven't tried is recording 4K video to it on the Z5P, but the performance when recording 4K on the G4 was absolutely great.

They sell direct on Amazon so type in SanDisk 200gb micro sd and u will them as the first option I think... Should say SanDisk in the seller name.
I bought a 128 gb micro sd sandisk ultra on amazon lightning deals for £30
I have the same 200GB Sandisk card. It's great. I benchmarked mine through my Macbook and even with the phone to ensure it has appropriate write/read speeds and capacity so I know it's a real Sandisk card. Although I do have some issues transferring large files over 100mb onto it, specifically apps. Snooping around on forums though, found it may be more an issue with the firmware because it "times-out" when the software thinks it's taking too long to transfer so it just gives an error. Actually, if any of you guys have any insight on why I can't transfer large apps, I'd be all ears.
question.... where are you finding your 4K content for download at? PM me if need be.... I want to take more advantage of this screen.

Not really,
exFAT is Microsoft's proprietary successfor to FAT32 which had several limitations (including 4 GiB max file size, file and folder name limitations, no checksumming, etc.) which made it pretty
unsuitable for nowadays needs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT )
I hope that the acquisition of Sandisk by Western Digital will be allowed, a huge stockholder is planning (or already has) vetoed on the acquisition,
My experience with Sandisk microSD cards hasn't been the best in the past - also having read about several cards breaking after a rather short time.
Anway - back to offtopic: Sandisk afaik is the only one offering 200 GiB microSD's - so I hope it lives a long life for the OP
@celestialz
with Developer mode and adb shell you could actually see whether related kernel modules are loaded for it
(texfat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transaction-Safe_FAT_File_System)
edit:
just checked back again:
yeah, exFAT should work
So exFAT is better then FAT32 for Z5P?

Yep , Because exfat can storage file capacity more than 4GB. :fingers-crossed:
for Movies:
I use a externel Harddrive with 4TB .
For the Harddrive i use exFAT.
The Z5 Premium support only externel Harddrive with 12V power supply.
I try a lidl externel Drive with only USB Power supply and the Z5 Premium think it was only a USB Power supply and don't accept it as an externel Drive.
If you use a externel Harddisk with 4 TB and 12V, you need some time at the start. The Z5Premium check the harddisk at first, this needs 5min.
Then you can use the harddisk.

What sd card should I get?

I'm looking for either a 128gb or 256gb micro sd card and I want to have the same experience as using the internal storage for recording 4k/superslowmo and using apps on sd cards.
But I don't want to overspend either, I don't know up to what speeds/classes the phone can utilize.
There's cards like Samsung evo plus 128gb for 60euro, cards like lexar 1000x 128gb at 95 euro with UHS II Bus all kinds of things I got lost in the sea of classes and speeds.

I'm disappointed with XZP's sdcard access speeds, especially when the sdcard encryption is enabled. With my Samsung Evo+ 256Gb I got the following speeds:
About 7Mb/s read/write (with enabled encryption)
And about 70/40Mb/s (read/write) with disabled encryption.
What real speeds have you got?
100MB/s & 90MB/s read & write speeds Evo Select 45 USD http://a.co/3sYajyC

Is this still a problem? I prefer to always have my stuff encrypted and had this same issue, so slow it's almost unusable. Wondering if any of the updates or anything have fixed this issue or not.

Yes, it's still a problem in Oreo. I have up to 10mb/s with enabled encryption.

Have you tried any other micro SDs or just the Samsung Evo+? I was thinking about getting the 2017 one, Samsung Evo Plus 256GB, but it seems like it will probably be the same, I think the only difference between that 2016 version is 10MB/s on Read speed. Would be interesting to see if certain cards do better than others, I would like to know if a A1 rated card also has this problem.
Hey guys. Thanks for all the helpful input. What would you say is the primary benefit of the additional storage of a 128GB to 256GB SD Card? I feel like on other phones without expandable memory, I never really reach capacity on 64GB models. So I probably used more cloud storage out of necessity and just got used to it. What are you guys using all this glorious storage for?

4k por... Oops I mean scientific ebooks etc.
All jokes aside... Having that bit of extra storage can give you the freedom to record, capture and download as you please!
Especially for people like me who hardly use online storage. I have the Samsung Evo Plus 256gb (2017 version) and I have so many 4k HDR10 movies and documentaries stored on it. I also dont have to worry about running out of space by constantly shooting 4k videos.
Having higher storage takes away all the limitations of having to transfer your files whenever you need to download new material.
I'm getting 72mb/read and 40mb/write even though the Micro SD card is capable of achieving higher speeds. This is due to the phone and I hope that android will find a way around this with upcoming updates, unless it's a hardware issue of course.
These speeds are more than enough for regular everyday use as I haven't faced any issues with reading/writing colossal files.
Hope this helps

You had me at 4k por... LOL. But seriously, I have never even seen 4K video let alone shot in 4K, so I am looking forward to checking it out on this glorious screen. Still think I may only opt for 200GB unless I find a really good deal (I will check the model you listed above). Doubt I will be able to even fill that but who knows. LOL. Thanks again.

Just to verify, you don't have encryption enabled for the microSD card correct?

Hey guys. Can someone please give me their thoughts on the MicroSD card linked below? Thinking of buying but not sure I need 256GB and the price is pretty reasonable on this 200GB. Thoughts?
