[Q] 16 GB or 32 GB version? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

With all the storage expansion options that the Transformer offers (micro-SD, USB), what reasons would you have to choose the 32 GB version rather than 16 GB, which will be cheaper? I myself am inclined to go with the 32 GB version, since this will probably be more 'future-proof', I guess, but it will depend on the price. If the 16 GB version will be $399 (without the keyboard) and the 32 GB version $499, then I'll definitely go with 32 GB, particularly if there's a 32 GB tablet/keyboard bundle for, say, $599; if it's $499 and $599, respectively, without keyboard, I'm not so sure. (In fact, I might then reconsider the Transformer altogether and potentially opt for that other, rather popular tablet ;-).
Thanks!

I dont think it is really worth $100 for an extra 16GB, specially when you can get a 32GB MicroSD card for around $60 (Will Go Down Eventually) or a Class 10 16GB for $30

I have the same thoughts in mind. Initially I wanted to get the 32GB, but reading various threads it seems like only the 16GB versions were sold in Europe so I thought maybe their justing releasing 16GB initially and I would just get that. I'm still debating if I need or want the keyboard dock. But if its priced as you mentioned then I think I would go with the 32GB bundle at $599. However, if prices are higher individually, I definitely will not opt for the other popular tablet, just won't do it! I'll wait it out for the Samsung or Toshiba or something else.

Isn't the SD slot only capable or up to 32GB? so you're limited to a maximum of 16 + 32 = 48. But if you start with 32gb internal, 32+32 = 64gb!!! question is will that be necessary?

I already have a class 10 16-GB micro-SD card, so I'd use that.
I wonder what the practical difference would be between 32 GB of internal memory with a 16 GB micro-SD card on the one hand and 16 GB of internal memory with a 32 GB micro-SD card, both resulting in 48 GB of storage capacity.
I have been assuming that the internal memory is used for apps and apps data, and the optional micro-SD card for user data (media files and the like). Would that be a correct assumption? As far as I know, you don't have a choice where to install apps; they're always on the internal memory. That's why I've been thinking 32 GB of RAM would be more useful as it gives you more space for the apps. But maybe I'm missing something here.

according to the wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital, linux kernel(honeycomb is based on version 2.6.36)) is already capable of addressing upto 2TB worth of SDHC/SDXC; so if you format the SDXC card as ext2 or something like that, then you can put in a 64GB SDXC now for good use
cheers,
PS: here is a post about usage of SDXC card in a linux based( kernel 2.6.28) device http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=977954&postcount=14

I think my decision will be based on what the current pricing and available is when I can't wait any longer and absolutely have to have it. I think the 32GB with dock but again depends on pricing.

Me too. If the 32-GB version goes for $499 and the keyboard for $149, both of which are prices that have been floating around on the Internet, then I would definitely opt for that combo ($658), especially if there is a bundle discount of, say, $50---providing I can get it on Newegg.com, so I don't need to pay for shipping (likely) or sales tax. If I have to add sales tax, the total is more than $700, which is just too much for me to justify.
If, however, the 32-GB version is $599, then the tablet/dock combo would be $758, which makes this too expensive. (A 64-GB wifi iPad 2 is $699---granted without a keyboard, but still...)
We'll see when Asus decides to let this thing loose on the U.S. market and for how much.
Ron

would of gone for the 32gb if it was out now. only got the 16gb so i could get my hands on this as soon as

Personally, I'd only go for the 32gb model if the premium wasn't too high (say around £50/$75). I have a 16GB Galaxy Tab with a 16GB SD card and in storage terms it is more than ample given that the bulk of my storage requirements are taken up by videos, and I delete them as soon as I watch them anyway.

[Small Review] SanDisk 32GB MicroSDHC (Class 2)

Hey guys,
got my new SanDisk 32GB MicroSDHC (Class 2) Card yesterday and it is performing great so far.
But before that, I'd like to warn you that there are tons of fake cards floating around.
I bought a 32GB Card one week ago and it turned out to be fake:
h**p://img517.imageshack.us/img517/6867/unbenannt3kj.jpg
I've tested to write the full capacity to the card but apparently this card only holds up to 1,9GB.
DON'T BUY FROM EBAY OR OTHER "SMALL BUSINESS SHOPS" You'll most likely get a fake card.
Really pissed after this experience I decided to buy from a reliable computer shop and spend more money and received my 32GB Card yesterday, and what can I say? It's better than I expected for a Class 2 card.
Check out the results here:
h**p://img155.imageshack.us/img155/4060/s32gbsdhc.jpg
As you can see, this card is genuine and you can write up to ~30GB to it.
The write speed with 5,21mb/s is pretty good for a Class 2 Card. Also the read speed is quite decent with 14 mb/s
This is more than sufficient for HD video recording and all the other things you'd wanna do with your Galaxy S.
I didn't expierence any lags with my phone using this card. Switching between photos, music etc.... all goes very smoothly.
Here's also a HDTune (3.50) shot for you guys interested in the read iops:
h**p://img85.imageshack.us/img85/1818/s32gbsdhc2.jpg
Verdict: All things considered, I think this card performs fairly well without slowing down my Galaxy S. Watching tons videos/photos, listening to a huge music library and not having to worry about storage is really great.
The only downside of this card is the price (I've paid 108€) but considering the fact that the iPhone with 32GB is bloody expensive and with this card you would have up to 40GB of storage on your Galaxy S, this card is really a bargain and I fully recommend it.
That's great! I'm also considering to buy one the 16gb class4 version, but it seems difficult to find in Europe.
Where did you get your 32GB card?
30424 Mbye = 29.7109375 gb
What happened to the rest of the 2gb?

some space will be taken by the file allocation table when the card is formatted as with all drives from harddrive to memory cards.
also the 32gb is somewhat less than 32gb in true storage size

I've bought it in Germany (ARLT Computer).
talking about memory and disk stuff,
32GB=32.000.000.000 bytes
wich is, 30517,58 MB or 29,80 GB
this is for the simple fact
a 8GB hard disk contains 8.000.000.000 bytes
a 8GB ram stick contains 8*1024*1024*1024=8589934592 bytes
That's a lot of cash considering a non-fake Toshiba Class 2 16gb is currently selling for £17.99 delivered in the UK?
€108 equates to about £90!
32GB cards are currently considerably more expensive than 2 x 16GB cards.
Where's the deal on that 16GB in the UK btw...?
So you can use micro SD HC cards with the galaxy s? I was told that you had to use an adapter because the device only has a micro SD slot? Sorry if this is a silly question, i haven't really dealt with external flash storage that much apart from my old sony ericsson walkman phone which used stick pro duo or something like that.

Yea, it doesn't lag; at least there is nothing what I would describe as "laggy".
It does take some time to load 100s of photos on the gallery app, but I think this is quite normal.
At least if I view a hires picture, it opens up near instantly. Switching between pics and focusing also happens very quickly.
I'm happy with it so far. Having used this card for more than two months I don't have any complaints at all and I fully recommend it.
How is 720p hd recording with the card? Try it and see if the recorded video is stuttering. Ty.

[Q] Anyone waiting to get the 32gig instead? I can't decide which to get

I'm having a tough time deciding whether or not to get the 32gig model or the regular 16. I don't plan on really storing any video or mp3s on the tablet, if anything I'll just use it to store games/apps and GPS maps. Do you think a 32gig is overkill for just that?
Yes since you have a microSD slot and unlimited web storage.
Isn't the web storage only for a year?

It's not really overkill, I was in the same boat as you, since the built-in memory is much faster than any microSDHC you can put there.
However, after thinking a lot, I decided to buy the 16gig version.
1. For $100 I can buy a good speedy 32gig microSDHC for a total of 48gig, IMO, this is better value.
2. I currently have the iPad 2 for testing, near 70 installed apps, 1gig of HD videos, 2+gig of music, near 1GB of pictures, apps + browser + email cache, etc... for a total of 8gig used. This means that the built-in 16gig should more than good for a lot of apps, cache and other main stuff, while the local media goes to the SD card.
I'll be the voice of dissension.
I see SD expansion as a means of accessing temporary, view once/not often type files. If you're augmenting your main system memory with SD the minute you buy something, I feel you've already admitted you should have bought more onboard storage.
The minute you start loading apps or data for apps onto SD is the minute you remove any capability to start swapping your SD cards.
Of course, if you really do only plan on doing what you stated 16gb might be enough for quite a while. For me, I'm always a, "what if", sort of hardware buyer.
If you want to pay $100 more for "what if" then go ahead. By the time you use up 16GB + 16GB OR 32GB microSD card, there will be tablets coming out with 64GB and 128GB internal storage which will render yours useless.
Spend the $100 on accessories or the dock.
If you have money to burn then I guess 32GB wouldn't hurt with 32GB microSD card and 64GB SD card for the dock.
For games/apps/gps maps... definitely go 16GB.
My SGS only has 2 gigs of internal storage, and atm I have ~ 110 apps installed on it. Of those 2 gigs, I have 1.16GB of free space left. I've not set any of my apps to be run from the microSD card, either.
I'm not sure how much data the maps will take up (when I updated my stand-alone GPS, the DB was less than a gig in size...), but worst case that's something you could easily put on a microSD card for MUCH less than $100 (a 32Gig one won't cost you 100!).
The tablet itself has a MicroSD slot. The dock has a standard SD slot, and the USB ports can be used for mass storage devices... 32Gig is way overkill for how you describe your needs.
Plan on getting the 16g one, and thats the one I have on order. But if the 32g shows its face before my 16g one ships. I'll be all over that.

I'm paying a $70 premium to not lock down my SD card. I don't like painting myself into a corner. 16gb of course might be plenty for the OP, I just don't agree with people implying SD expansion comes with zero negative penalties.
Well i went for the 16gb version and popped a 16gb class 10 card in (£16.99) and have bought a 500gb portable HD (£35). That should give me plenty
Admittedly though accessing the SD card isnt as easy as internal memory from many of the apps but things like music and photos and ebooks were found automatically

[Q] 16GB or 32GB?

What is your opinion in this?
Is 16GB enough? Or is it wiser to get the 32GB model?
I got a 16GB and am happy with it. I won't keep that much media on it anyway, and if I want more space, I have the microSD card slot. The difference between 16 and 32GB is $100, but you could get the 16GB and a 32GB MicroSD card for less than $500.
Oh, and with the keyboard dock, I can get SDHC cards for even cheaper. I already have a 16GB MicroSD in it... If I should want more space, I'll just get a 16 or 32GB SDHC card.
FYI, you cannot install or move apps to the microsd/SD without rooting (yet). Even then, you'd be hard pressed to fill up the 16GB with apps. Let's say an app avgs 10MB, that means you can have 1600 apps. You've got other issues if you have 1600+ apps installed.
For larger apps, the data portion can be installed on the external media. I have World Series of Poker which installs about 10MB to the internal memory and 380MB to the external when launched.
In short, I think 16GB is fine. Just make sure the music/videos/pics stay on the external media.
16gb is more than enough with the microsd slot on the tablet...if you need extra storage, the two usb ports on the docking station can help...you can even use external hard drives like western digital passport..
by no mean I'm saying the 32gb is bad..I just think it's hard to justify the $100 premium
Ah, ok - thanks guys.
Personally, I'm going for the 32GB model. I plan to have a lot of movies/TV on my TF, and though I can fit a fair bit with a 32GB microSD and a 64GB SD card, I'd still like to have as much storage from the get-go as I can.

32GB vs 64GB - Which Should I Get?

I am about to order the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T. I have been debating as to which capacity of storage to get - 32GB or 64GB. This may be a no brainer for most but money is sort of an issue with me. I wondering what benefits beyond the obvious I would get for getting the 64GB version over the 32GB and adding a micro 32GB SD card. Is it really worth spending $100 more to get the 64GB version? Or should I just buy the 32GB SD card for about $35 buck and save $65. Either way, most likely I will buy an SD sooner or later.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks,
gabato
i got the 32gb version. just by a 32gb or 64gb memory card. thats just my opinion though.
Get 32gb and then a 32gb sd card. Much more cheap or a 64gb sd card will still be cheaper
Sent from my Gameboy Color
I got the 64gb and bought a 64gb uSDXC. That's how I roll.
I'd say go 32gb and add a 32gb card. At least, that's what I'm doing. $100 just to double the space is a bit ridiculous.
Buy the 32 gig version and the dock, then connect that to a 2+ terabyte external hard drive through USB. All the storage you could ever need.
I had the 64 GB Prime Ans never really utilized the space. Also ran a 32 GB microsd card that would hold movies and TV shows. Will just buy a 32 infinity. You forget how much of my stuff I stream nowadays. My entire music collection is in the cloud and the video that is not on Hulu plus, Netflix, Time Warner or HBO Go apps expandable memory makes a huge difference. And there are only certain formats it will read from an external hard drive so do some research. I forget off the top of my head what formats work.

The sane answer would be 32 GB and a 32 GB memory card. That would mean I'm insane -- I bought the 64 GB edition (a few weeks before retail release though, so I jumped on the opportunity of having it before 99.99% of other owners and took the budgetary hit ) and I stuck a 32 GB SDHC and a 32 GB microSD in it (if it had been reported that 64 GB would work, I'd put in even more memory, as you can never have enough of that).
Buy the 32 gig and a 64 gig microsd card, you have 64 gig and you save your money
If you need more storage, buy an USB kit, then buy a 2 TB external hard drive and use the USB kit to connect that hard drive to your tablet, buy something call "USB hub" that let you connect a full size sd card to the USB kit, if i'm correct maximum storage of sd card is 512 gig, so now you have
32 (internal storage) + 64 (microsd) + 2048 gig (external hard drive) + 512 gig (sd card) = 2656 gig
Get the 32gb card for sure, the TF700 has issues reading 64gb cards. Check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1761861
If you plan on getting the dock it reads 128/64gb cards no problem (its a full size SD port on the dock).
Hope this helps!

The rational behind getting the 64GB version would be if you need more of the FASTEST storage. While there are plenty of ways to increase storage capacity, none matches the transfer speed of the local storage.
But this PC Mag review says something interesting about the 64GB version of the device.

At the moment, many people can't use class 10 64GB cards in the TF700, they work in the dock though. And class 6 64GB cards work in the device.
So there's lots of issues when it comes to storage. "If" they resolve all issues with the JB update, the built in storage would be fastest.
Of course everyone has to make their own call. But given the varied issues, I'm planning to get the 32GB version. Just because so many people are getting the 32GB version and there is usually more strenght in numbers. So the 32GB version might have class 10 64GB cards working, before the 64GB device works with anything higher than 16GB cards and local storage issues resolved. Also, with so many people getting the 32GB version, most Dev work will likely be performed with that device. Which would mean if there are issues with a Developer's work on the 64GB version it may be harder to get a fix.

To each their own. As detailed throughout the linked tread, people have had positive results with various cards of their choice. But most encounter issues with 64GB class 10. It remains to be seen if the JB update will especially address that.

I didn't read through all the responses. I saw a lot of discussing this issues regarding what cards work and don't.
I think someone posted the article on PCmag about buying tablets with more storage. Really, what is said, the extra money is just a lot more profit for the manufactures since it costs less than $10 to add the extra memory.
In my opinion, there is the hard fact about the cost. I think you have to look at how you use your device and what you plan to store. Personally, I went with the 32GB version since the tablet has the SDHC slot. Most likely, this is more than enough storage for ninety percent of users. That's a lot of apps to fill up. The storage suck is if you keep a lot of video, or 1080p DD5.1 and high bit rate. You could do it if you keep your whole music collection on it as well. Maybe in the future some games will need more space with they're more a full fledge games like you find on PCs or consoles. I think it's more an issue with tablets like Nexus 7 that come in significantly smaller configurations--8GB or 16GB.
Heck, I just spent $50, from Amazon's deal of the day, and got Scandisk SDXH 64GB card. It appears to be working, but I haven't fully tested everything out. I've read Titanium Backup can have issues with it. I've barely touched the memory on the tablet.
I don't know you know for nothing. I would suggest getting the 32GB version and use the $100 on something else, such as a keyboard, case/cover, extenral battery, apps, and so forth.
I bought the 64gb version for one reason. On my phone I would install a couple of games from gameloft and it would install in the phone and not on the sd card. The game wouldnt work if I moved it to the sd card, so at the rate the games are going now they are going to require more space. I just didnt want to be stuck like I was with my G2x. Music, Pics, Movies all are on SD cards and games will be left in the internal storage.

32 or 64gb?

Hi.. is it worth it to buy 64gb version of Surface? Isnt 32 sufficient? post your experience, please
I bought 32 GB and then 64 GB microSDXC from eBay for $17. The 32 GB version is quite soon down to less than 10 GB free, but for me it might have been enough so the SD is just to be safe (and as it was so really cheap).

i might sound like a retard but what about room for apps, win swap and such.. if its only 18 gigs.. and like 5 gigs are needed for windows to run smooth.. not actually a lot of space im asking because somebody complained about IE 10 being laggy because of that (possibly)
I bought the 64GB version and put in a 64GB MicroSD card for an extra $50 just in case. Oh and I also bought the Type keyboard instead of the Touch, Now I am in love with this setup!
Yes it is that much of a difference. After a while of typing on the touch your fingers start to hurt because you end up hitting the keys harder for some reason.
Troll on 12!
i went with 32GB and the black touch cover. because i am not planning to store
a ton of Music/Video on my surface. but if i ever get the Need to, i will just use a 64gb sdxc Card which i will order next week. hopefully my surface is arriving then too
p.s. i hate This german autocorrect, wtf
