Hi.
I was wandering is there any way to format the microSD card on teh TF300T?
If so what is the filesystem used/permited?
I would like to put some home videos, that are bigger than 4Gb, and the Fat32 filesystem doesn't let it.
If you want to use the card in Windows computers as well as the tablet, format it with NTFS. If you're just using it in the tablet, ext4 is the best. Note that Windows doesn't support ext4 (or anything that isn't FAT or NTFS for that matter; it won't acknowledge the card at all), so be aware.
Edit: I don't think you can format the card in the tablet. It was removed from ICS. You'll need to use a computer or an Android phone (pre-ICS).
"I'm a PC." So I will format it to NTFS. Too bad i have to use the computer.
Thank you.
Just formated my microSD to NTFS and it works just fine.
Thank you for the advice.

Hi.
I just got a transformet TF300T and i have the same doubts
The card will only be used in the tablet and transfers using Wifi transfer
So... should i format it to Ext4? Or leave it as Fat32?
Can i use as swap?
What tool can i use to format it as fat32 or ext4?
And for the swap?

Hey guys,
I'm new to the forums, but I need help getting my TF300T to mount storage devices formatted as either NTFS or exFAT file systems. I have tried both a USB flash drive and a portable hard drive formatted as NTFS through the keyboard dock; my transformer recognizes the devices but will not mount them. And with exFAT, it simply says "Damaged SD card".
I'm running CyanogenMod version 9, and if anyone knows if there is a way to make the device mount and read these file systems that would be greatly appreciated. I have files above 4GB that I would like to use on my device, but FAT32 can't support them. Thank you!
Try NTFS Mounter app, free on the market.
That app doesn't seem to work on the TF300, thanks though. Any other thoughts?

If so, how?
I tried formatting my san disk ultra to ntfs and exfat with several different cluster size combos and it wouldn't work. At one point it did mount the card but I couldn't read (other than folders) or write to it.
Anyone out there know how to get a 64gb card to work? Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Never mind, I found the appropriate thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1761861). Looks really hit or miss at this point... :-(

Did you try sd card maid? You may be able to partition it into 2 partitions.

The MicroSD card issue was resolved with the last firmware update.

What firmware version are running? .26 should solve most issues, though my 64gb ultra worked fine on.22
How do you format the sd card on here. On my phone it's in setting under storage but on the tablet I don't see it.
I used my computer to format a SanDisk 64 GB card but it reads it as 29gb only. I'm not sure what format it was I missed used the default it gave.

Hmmm...
Good question!
I wonder if you un-mount the card\remove it\wipe it with win disk management\reinsert\mount...if the tab will write it's file system to the card.
I checked my Samsung card and it's fat32.
I've never formatted it from windows.
I bought the card inserted it in the tablet and have been using ever since.
I'm curious about this too!
Anyone...anyone...

Fat32format tool will break the windows limits, just google for it and it will format any size.
I'll try these ideas thanks. But how can I format the card while it's in the tablet.

You can't format it directly from your tf700, it doesn't have the format function, but you could with your phone (the one that support external sd card).
For people that are trying to reformat their Sandisk Ultra Microxdsc 64gb uhs-1 card from exFat to FAT32, check this site:http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm. it did it in about 10 sec. Now when I boot to TWRP it sees the external card. Enjoy:good:

If your tablet is rooted and you have busybox installed, you can use mkdosfs from a terminal app or adb.

Old thread I know but maybe people searching will come across this solution ...
Assuming you have CWM (or possibly TWRP but I haven't checked) you can boot recovery, choose mounts & storage, format sdcard1 then choose your preferred filesystem.

If you have access to a digital camera try formatting it in there; sometimes that works, too.

Yup, same concept as putting it into a digital camera or a phone. Sometimes they're better able to format the card and then it'll work in other devices as well.
I had the same problem with both Samsung and Transcend 32 GB microSD class 10 cards. Probably we need a community-driven list with supported flash cards...

Has anyone figured this out? i bought a 32gb sandisk microsd and I'm having the same issue. The tablet won't read it. I've tried to format it on my PC with both NTFS and FAT32 and neither makes a difference. :/

MiniTool partition wizard It can format ANYTHING just make sure to choose "Primary" when creating partitions on the SD card.
I'm copying an mkv file less than 800mb to my sandisk which is formatted to NTFS. It used to work before and all of a sudden, I can't copy/move/delete things on the usb from the tab, any suggestions?
Backup the contents of the drive.
Format to exFAT.
NTFS is Microsoft. Android doesnt like it.

if that doesn't work try fat32 . both of my 64gb class 10 have to be this format for everything to be read accordingly.

Same, I use fat32. FAT is much more linux/android friendly
What I don't like though is the 4gb limit on files for fat 32, is there any way to go around that besides splitting the files?
Just did a short read on exfat, thanks for that
+1 for fat32. I've never had any problems with any of my devices running it.
