MicroSD question - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Say I buy a 64gb MicroSD
I put 64gb of movies on it.
Can I watch all that 64gb of movies?
The tablet says it only recognizes up to 32gb more...which I don't understand.

No. The size of the card is too large for the tablet to support!!

Another question
Do I have to drag the movies onto the internal storage in order to watch the movies, or can I just open them from the MicroSD

Honestly, I think you should be fine with a 64GB card. The Galaxy S3 only officially supports 32GB max, but no one's had any problems using 64GB cards. Don't worry about what the tablet's specs say the max is. Just try a 64GB card. I'm willing to bet that it'll work just fine.
Also, the movies should play just fine from the card. No need to move them.

I'm afraid the tablet will not recognize sdcard:screwy:

I was hoping this was the case. I've yet to run into any android phone that could not support all 64gb of my sandisk. Glad to know this is no different

Officially, the TF300 can accept up to a 32GB micro SDHC. There has been confirmation that some 64GB micro SDXC cards have worked as well. All the ones I have tried have worked, but officially, the specs say 32GB.
And to answer the OP, if your 64GB does work, you can transfer the movies to the internal memory or you can watch straight from the card. It's up to you.

Hi,
I have TF201 and a 64GB (Sandisk microSD class 10) and it works perfectly. Comes preformated with exFAT and I am using it "out of the box".
Watching directly from the card. I have for about 2 moths now.
Hope this helps

I got my tf300 a couple weeks ago and my sandisk 64 seems to work fine. Annoyingly, Asus thinks I need to know that there is an external card in and displays that in the notifications but it's not the cards fault lol

Nice man that's a pretty good deal. I ordered my class 10 16gig patriot from newegg for something like 40 I think , l don't like to buy stuff like that in stores because its way over priced usually. Unless you're talking Fry's they frickin price match from store and online like newegg,Amazon and tigerdirect.

Locally the highest you can get is class 4 and 16GB. For now it will be good until 64GB cards come out. And all the other prices for lower.

Usually when they come with a SD Adapter, they are fake. I bought a Class 10 16GB PNY from amazon for $33.

The 64GB cards are MICRO SD XC
The cards this phone supports are MICRO SDHC.
I love passing storage milestones, but don't get too excited, only a handful of devices currently have the architecture to support microSD cards bigger than 32GB, so make sure you have a compatible device before you empty your wallet. Don't have one? Don't sweat it, Your phone sucks. LOL

Why would you say this. I've bought at least 4 different cards that came w/adapters and they were not fakes in any way. I just got my new Sandisk 32GB SDHC yesterday and now I've got the room for my Music.

I have a 16gig A-Data class 6 that I bought from Newegg. It works perfect and I have no issues with it.
I've used A-Data since my G1 days and I've had no issues. Good and cheap card.

The truth is sdxc and sdhc have the same hardware and every thing else the only difference is the file system moving from fat32 to exfat which is an improvement of fat32 current used on all mobile devices and alot of limitations like only holding file of 4gbs
For all current devices all they need is a firmware update to work with sdxc but manufacturing company are introduction it like a new thing if u bought one and formatted it to ext4 or ext3 it would work on android or Linux
Or wait it exfat drivers are out for android
Just do some research and will see

Why not both?
it depands on how much data you want to carey aournd with your infinity
I went with one 32gb microsd and 64gb SD Card that I laying around and provides all of the storage I need. I do have a 500 DB external HD but don't use it. I love that both cards sit flush into the transformer infinity unlike the prime I had previously.
i have a 64gb micro, and a 64gb sd in mines. Plus i have a couple of usb thumb drives. Do you plan to take the portable every where you go?

What is your 64 Gb µSD card ?
I noticed that some people had problems with 64 Gb µSD... I was going to buy a 32 Gb Class10 but if your 64 Gb works, it changes everything !

the SD works fine. No issues with that at all. Its in the dock.
The microsd, when formatted to ntfs or exfat32, gives me issues when copying stuff to it. so i reformatted to fat32 until a fix comes out.

I have one of those, but cannot get it to work, even if formatted to FAT32.
What allocation unit size did you use ?
Depends on how much storage you need, I prefer to have an microSD card in the tablet and an SD card in the dock all the time for easily removable storage.
Another factor you should consider is the filesystem. NTFS performs rather poorly under Android in general and under Infinity's .26 firmware in particular, so I'd go with exFAT on any external storage you'll be using with it.

I wish also to buy the same product but i'm afraid to buy with ebay or other seller and to receipt a fake or bad copy ... I'm from Belgium and i search the best secure seller for me ...
Your SD card is in classe 10 but for the micro SD Sandisk, it's only classe 6 ==> micro sd in classe 10 doesn't work with TF700 ?
Why do you want so much space? My 700 has a 32GB micro SD, and I barely fill it up. In the dock, I have a 64gb Class 10 and I dont even touch it. Are you storing lots of music and videos? See, I keep my videos at home on Plex Media Server and stream to my tablet. I just keep a couple local ones for if I'm out of range of the interwebs. I also keep a couple of gbs of music on the micro-SD, but most of it is up on Google Music and/or dropbox.

Class doesnt matter to much when in the device. Its more for when transferring to and from a PC. Try buying from Amazon or Newegg.

Not true. It does matter, my sequential reads and writes are up to 2x faster with a class 10 microSD card than on a class 4 card, same capacity.
I realize this might not be entirely helpful but my honest choice is neither. This is simply because I have no need for even 64GB of storage on my tablet. I don't store movies on my tablet.
If I absolutely had to choose, then I would easily pick the SD card. One reason, obviously, is because I don't even need the 64GB in the first place, let alone 500GB. The other reason is because of portability. You can just stick the SD card in there and leave it in. Don't have to worry about carrying around the hard drive or forgetting it.
1 TB Oyen Digital Drive. $119.99 shipped and Prime eligible.
Not many people are familiar with Oyen but I have a couple of their drives and I love 'em. Very thin form factor and the ones I own have been reliable thus far (almost a year since first purchase). WD drives in Oyen bodies.
I actually don't own the one I listed here, but I'm sure it's just as good as their others. This is the latest USB 3 and looks like its in the same chassis as the others I have (thin and sleek).

Sandisk Micro SDXC 64GB in Photon Q

For anyone thinking about buying a Micro SDXC for their Photon Q...
I can confirm it works on my XT897! (See attached pic!)
Sandisk Part#: SDSDQUA-064G-U46A
This is the Class 10 card, not the cheaper class 6 card.
Nice! As of right now i dont have a need for storage that high so i'm still rocking my 16GB class 6, but that's definitely good to know.
Nice.. ima buy one.. did you have to reformat it in the phone? Or you put it in and it was ready to go?
Sent from my XT897 using xda app-developers app
I, too have a 64GB SanDisk and it works just fine. Only issue is it sometimes causes the phone to think the SD card is corrupted when I take it out of mass storage mode, but popping the SD card into my computer and running a disk checker tends to make that stop.

Yes, I did. Originally the phone said the SD card was corrupt (it had an exFAT partition).

It's always worth it to spend the extra little bit to jump from a class 6 to 10. For everything, not just movies. Get the better card now and stress out less later!

class doesnt matter when it comes to playing movies. It matters when transferring them. I have a class 6 64gb and a class 10 32gb, and both play movies perfectly.

As long as you use FAT64 file system, you can even use 512GB SD (technically possible but it won't be available for couple of years).
Currently, I use my 64GB micro-SD card formated in FAT32. Can I format a 128GB micro-SD card in FAT32 and use it in the same way?
I didn't do any formatting to use it.
And it works.

I'd wait for a good 600x or 633x chip to come out. I did a test with 633x over the Ultra and that the 2x speed increase is great. Though backing up to SD with large apps that have been moved to SD causes a bottle neck, and cannot be resolved unless you add an OTG Thumb drive, to allow backups to the thumb drive while allowing full reads from device and external SD without need to have writes slow down the processes between reading.
