Put in a 64 Gb Sandisk SDXC card that worked flawlessly in my Galaxy Note (and also with an SD Adapter in the SD slot of the dock) and it didn't work in the Transformer TF700
Can someone confirm this problem?

I didn't even try going beyond 32GB SDHC, but someone mentioned formatting your card from within the tablet might help. If it does't *recognise* the card itself however, it might be a bit of a problem.
Thanks for your answer, but it doesn't even let me format it - it is simply not recognized. By the way, also a second SDXC didn't work - no probs with a 32 Gb SDHC though...
I believe the Prime had a limit of 32 GB SDHC cards as well. You might be out of luck, crazy as it is that these larger-capacity cards are not recognized.

You have to change the format of the sd card. I don't know how though.

@ian1: Do you mean reformat it back to exFAT? Or to NTFS? I had to format it as FAT32 to make it work in the Samsung Note...

All reports I've seen to date suggest that exFAT renders the best compatibility.
Tried it this time with exFAT and then with NTFS - unfortunately no luck...
Wow. I got my 64gb card on order (not in stock yet), but can still cancel. Would be nice to have it confirmed that it will work or not.

No idea maybe you should look in the "Prime" forums I know they have some threads on this.

oh man, not another issue.
The Prime at least shipped with the limit of 32 GB declared in advance. I seem to have missed it with the TF700, I guess. Early today I gave it a shot and formatted my 32 GB SD card (200x, Dane-Elec) in exFAT with several cluster sizes, and the TF700 is one hell of a finicky device. It doesn't really accept the cluster sizes above 4 kb, it seems -- either that or my card has a defect (was brand-new). Will have to test a bit...
Hi, have the same issue with San disk 64 GB Micro- SDXC.
Tried FAT32, EXFAT and NTFS.
Most of the time tablet does not recognize it. Dock with SD size adapter is no problem.
Tried also to format it in ICS 4.0.3 HTC EVO 3D.
Card works in HTC fine but can not be recognized in TF700T tablet.
Sometime tablet recognized SDHXC card and showed 60GB of empty space, but when turned of and switched on again does not recognize any more.
Don't know what to.
Format it on windows 7 with card reader, or in windows7 laptop with adapter or use any format tool in Windows7.
User TalynOne posted in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423587 that Sandisk 64 GB works formated in NTFS on Transformer Prime tablet.
So there should be a way for TF700T or am I wrong.
Did anyone have positve results so far?

how did you gather whining? I ordered this tablet already. If i was whining, i would have said much more. And what does your current post do to help this thread? This is a forum for people to express their opinions, you don't like it, ignore me and move on. Stop getting so emotional from reading letters on a screen. I purchased this tab (although its on back ordered), so what would be the point of me whining about it, when i can just easily cancel and move on to another device. There is no attitude from me. I have never expressed attitude on any forum i am a member of.
And to respond to your statement, no tablet was advertised a being compatible with 64gb cards, yet, we have several that are compatible, so IMO, i believe it is relevant.
I heard of people getting the 64GB cards working and as long as their a max of UHS-1 they should work. Try using a fat32 formatter such as fat32format by ridgecorp. I am still waiting for my Prime preorder so I can't check for sure, but that worked for me for other devices that didn't see the 64GB SDXC cards that I have.

did you try formatting the card in your phone?
Well there are already users which has used a 64gb micro SD with NTFS format. So I guess that can confirm that it is definitely okay.
On my galaxy y, it's possible to use SWAP (virtual RAM) with the micro SD to add some RAM to the device.
Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659231
Would that be possible with the TF300?
I've read others here using one with no issue.

Why fat32? Having a card that size seems useless unless you can put high def movies on it. Why can't you use ntfs?
I'm not sure if you can use any other formats that's just what people have had success with.

afaik android cant automount ntfs formatted cards, you'll need a mounter app or a custom script.
formatted a Sandisk Class 10 64gb micro SD with NTFS from a Windows 7 computer and works fine on the TF300.
Gets past the 4gb file limit limitation.
Haven't tried to copy anything from the tablet to the SD card yet.

So since you've been able to use a 64gb NTFS micro SD, I guess it works
If there any speed difference with Fat32 and NTFS? In regard of transferring files since app data cannot be mounted onto external SDs anymore.

There is no speed difference, you need to get a lower class number card for that. Fat32 sucks because it has a 4 gig file size limit. For me, since I use my tablet for a lot of media on the go, I can't put any movies on a Fat 32 card.

ntfs has journaling and more detailed file atributes, this is usefull and make it stronger but also make for a bit of overhead.
shouldnt be noticeable.
Right now i have a class 10 micro sd card 32 gb. I used Swapit Expander and gave my phone 2gb of virtual memory and 90 swapiness. I dont really notice it, i got better quadrant scores but nothing worth noticing. Right now im getting 4837 on quadrant

I think NTFS record filenames in alpha sequence when they are added so when you use any app, the default sequence is filename.
FAT/FAT32 records filenames as first in first out (not in alpha order of filename).
Sometimes, I have to use FATSorter to sort them. We need filename order like TV shows (24h or Spooks MI-5) so video player can play one after the other.
I've seen people put 64gb cards in the GS3. Has anyone had success with the GN10, if so, which ones? I want to go large.

Thanks, I searched first time didn't get any hits. Index down/not working, don't know, but thanks.
So just out of curiosity, the Note 10.1 supports exFAT or not. Everything I read said it had to be formatted FAT32 limiting the file size you could put on to 4Gb... Would be awesome if its like the SGS3 and supported exFAT out of the box natively....

With the firmware update that came out two days after the intro - yes.
I have it and formats to exFAT so you can get full use out of a 64 GB SDXC.
I got my Deep Grey 16Gb 3G Galaxy Note 10.1 a couple of days ago and it plays exFAT formatted cards out-of-the-box! I just put a 7Gb MKV movie on the card and it plays smotthly :laugh:

I bought the 64gb card and it shows as exfat but it will not take a file larger than 4gb. Do I need to format it again with another program first?
So todays deal of the day offered a bunch of Sandisk cards, I ordered the 64g sdxc class 10 card which is in exfat formatting. Now, I have been reading over and over the same things about the correct format for our device, but no clear definitions on what the real deal is, just if there was any problem the answer was "format to fat32". Now its clearly stated that exfat is supported by our device, but other variants have apparently dropped this support on recent updates. That info is useless to me because all I care about is our variant. So what is the deal, keep the exfat format or convert to fat32? Not being able to move over 4gb would kind of be a pain, but obviously do not want issues. Does keeping in exfat have security risks of losing your info or not? I could care less about nandroids going on the card, so lets eliminate that issue which apparently calls for fat32. There are too many conflicting threads about this issue, so searching this toppic is pretty useless as its a bunch of single issues with no true ties to the fundemental truth. I really want some reliable info here as I have about an hour to cancel this order!!!

exFat has to be supported by the kernel, so it depends on the kernel you're running. If it's not supported you'll have to use FAT32. It's as simple as that. (blame Microsoft)
I formatted mine to FAT32 as a kernel I wanted to try didn't support exFat. Haven't looked back since... It's not that big of a deal to me as 99% of my files are under 4GB, and the ones that are that size have no business being on my phone.
Simple truth, I love it......
Thanks for a solid answer. You have a preferred method for formatting to fat32?

Yea phone will support extFat but some roms/kernels don't. And no recovery does. If you have files such as movies over 4GB put them on internal or compress a little. I will PM you the format app.

Most of them work, but from what I've read the stand is SDFormatter from SDCard.org. This is the worldwide SDCard Association for setting industry memory card standards.

Nice, thanks pr. If the only issue is the 4gb transfer, that's practically not an issue at all for me, lol.
The card will still be stable after formatting? I keep all my ti backups, media, zips, etc on it, would rather not have to copy to my computer as well if not needed. I've not yet experienced a card "crashing", and don't want too either...

Samsung 64GB Class 10 UHS-1 Grade 1 70MB/s MicroSDXC Pro Memory Card
this is the one I am using just thought that I would share this for anyone else wanting to know.
Hi mate, could you confirm that sd card is working? Today I contact samsung support and they told me that only works up to 32gb.
If it support 64gb would be great! I also have doubts if only the standard sd line, or if plus and pro also works with it.
But could you use all 64 GB?
I am also considering a 64 GB microSD, but it would be useless if I could only be using 32 GB. Maybe try to drop some large files on your card to test?
FYI
I've been using sandisk 64gb class 10 without any issue
59.46GB of usable space.

that's correct.
I'm using a Sandisk Ultra UHS-1 64GB card in my Relay 4G without any problems. Just yesterday had it down to about 8 GB space available, confirming it works past the 32GB barrier. I did have to do an update for Windows XP on my dad's laptop before I transferred files to my external HDD a few days ago, but otherwise had no problems there. (It wasn't till yesterday I deleted some files on the phone that had been copied to the drive - I wanted to keep some vids on the phone for a while and was handpicking them.)
Now if only I could interface directly with my 2TB hard drive (I have it in an enclosure with its own power source), without needing the laptop.

It should be possible, as our phone support USB.
I tried to find some videos on yt if that works, but only this:

But is not that subject of course, maybe we can move it or make new threat.
Seems interesting anyway.
So the trick is to format the SDCARD in FAT32 instead of NTFS. And the drawback is you can't have a file (music, movie, whatever) that's over 4GB. Okay. Can't think of what one file would be that much, so that seems like a decent compromise.
So I guess my only question is: if you're taking a file, as in drag in drop, from your NTFS hard drive on you computer and placing it on your FAT32 SDCard on your phone, will there be any problems? As well as any problems doing it in reverse?

There should be no problems in either direction, especially if you're doing it over MTP/PTP to your phone.
Another option is to format the card as ext4, which Linux and Android support natively, it's stable, and supports files up to arbitrary size (There is a limit, but it's quite a bit more than the supported maximum card size of the Relay)

I didn't think of this till you responded, but my USB 4GB flash drive is FAT32 and I transfer files from the 60GB hard drive on my laptop, which is NTFS, all the time. I typically do drag and drop, or I transfer via bluetooth.
