Hi, I have searched for this answer but can't find a guide so here goes...
I am looking at buying an Android 3.0 tablet, possibly the Asus Transformer, as it looks good for use on my travels.
When I bought an Ipad, internal memory was key(as its not expandable) so I bought as big as they did, however I am not clear on how Android 3 treats internal and external (SD) memory, and if its different.
Asus only seem to be releasing the 16 GB internal memory storage transformer in the UK first, and I am wondering is that enough ? or should I wait for the 32 GB internal version. I know they can take up to 32 GB SD card external memory, but can you install all your apps aswell as data there, and is it hot swappable ?
thanks for any help

I just got an ASUS 320 and as usual I am on a storage space crunch so I want to get the maximum possible space in one go. I plan to get an 8GB MicroSDHC but considering that P320 is already a phone with a paltry 200MHz processor and 64 MB RAM, I am not sure if it will properly support an 8GB card. The support site of ASUS says that the highest supported capacity card is 8GB. I want to know if anyone here has tried this or knows the possible impact of such a storage upgrade? In short...
Will putting an 8GB micorSD HC in ASUS P320 slow it down?
Will putting an 8GB micorSD HC in ASUS P320 have an adverse impact on the battery?
Will putting an 8GB micorSD HC in ASUS P320 hit the performance in any other way?
If you do not think that this will be a great idea, please suggest whay is the maximum capacity storage card that I should use?
1. no
2. no
3. no
4. if you want max storage, get an 8GB one.. the P320 supports SDHC and if you know it supports 8GB of storage space everything will be fine
Even I have the same phone. But I cannot format my Memory card from the phone to get the default settings and folders. Also I m unable to upgrade my firmware. Kindly help...
I've read 2 different things about how much memory the Captivate will see. Does anyone know for sure if it's 48 or 32 gigs?
I put my 32Gb Sandisk in my Captivate today...and it mounted ok, all 21Gb of installed music and movies on that card seemed to work fine, based on my random sampling.
Keep in mind that it makes a "fake" /sd directory in the root of the internal /sdcard, and that points to the external storage when using an Android file explorer like Astro. And also keep in mind that there's a lot of apps that just don't know about this directory, so they can't "see" the external storage.
Windows sees two distinct storage devices, however, as it should be.
It has build in internal 16GB (2GB of that is reserved for apps) rest 14GB is data for whatever, Plus whatever Micro SDHC card you will add.
16+16 SD = 32GB
16+32 SD = 48GB
I have put 16GB micro SDHC to it (32GB cards are to expensive) connected to windows i get two drive letters one for Internal 14GB Data partition and one for my own 16GB card.
Hope that helped you.

Yep the ATT site spec sheet says 32gb is supported by the phone. And from all appearances it does indeed seem to work with the phone just fine.
Now the real question. Who is going to tear apart the phone and replace the internal SD card (since I assume it's literally an internal microSD card as seen in other devices) with a 32 GB card and see if it can handle 32+32 GB.

you seem like a willing volunteer
hmm if only i had two 32gb sd cards i would but they expensive
The real reason for replacing the internal SD card would be because it's so damn slow.
I agree with the slow part hence the mods to change the cache onto the external which speed up the phones.... any word on if the internal SD card is replaceable or not? If it is, that would be great news as its definately not as fast as a class 6 card and replacing it with one would definately speed things up.

Haha, exactly that. If I had the money for two 32 GB cards I'd try.
Edit Hmm... I saw a tear down of the Galaxy S and I didn't see an internal microSD card, so maybe it doesn't use a card like the Streak. Might be built in and unable to swap. Oh well!
Friends, I wanted to ask if anyone knew of a way that I could use my external sd card as the primary storage rather than the stock 6gb that came with my phone.
I have a Droid x2, it comes with 4gb internal storage, 2gb locked app storage, and I put a 32gb micro sd into it for the external storage.
I am not rooted as of right now, due to some issues I was forced into doing a reset, so I running stock GB 2.3.4.
Is it possible to somehow use the 32gb card as a primary default storage, and have the little one as external?
Thanks for your time and assistance.
Trying to decide on 16 vs 32Gb. Any able to provide details on how much storage is available once the OS etc is considered ?
16GB does have 12.5GB available space available.
32 GB not sure, haven't seen anyone mentioning this, probably around 27GB
Thanks. That's not bad on the 16Gb - although it will soon fill with music and movies. Hope USB OTG mass storage works OK.
I'm planning to buy a 64GB memory card for HTC A9 and bind it as its internal memory. Could you guys suggest on this?
1. If anyone is using 64GB card, can you advise what are the specs I need to look it? I have read couple of reviews and seems "SAMAUNG -EVO + and SAMSUNG -EVO-" to be good. Any further suggestions?
2. Is it ok to bind the 64 memory as internal memory and does it work without any problems?

FYI, using a PNY U3 Pro Elite card without any issues. It's one of the fastest out there for the money. I did not bind it as internal memory though, and just use it as a secondary storage just in case (that way I can always remove it and still access thru a card reader on computer).
if you are looking to format as Internal Memory; UHS II, Speed Class 10
otherwise; UHS I, Speed Class 10

Thanks for the info !!
I had loads of problems with this (gone through 3 super fast SD cards... with each install the software would say it was not fast enough. Just ignore it ... the software lies). For almost a year it worked fine and then I ran out of memory space for apps, and I had to constantly delete apps to make room for updates. Finally I was forced to do a factory reset. Setting the SD memory card up after a factory reset means that you can create extended memory from scratch and allows you to put all the apps where the developer has given permission to run from the SD card onto the extended memory. After factory reset and going through and moving apps to extended memory everything has worked great.
I'm using "SanDisk Extreme PLUS 64 GB microSDXC" formated as internal Storage.
No Problems so far
