32 or 64gb? - Microsoft Surface

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

Compatible 16Gig micro SDHC for CDMA TP2

Wow! We now have a Rhodium CDMA thread!!
Just a post to let those who purchase a CDMA/GSM TP2 that I am using a 16Gig RiData Class 6 card purchased from Newegg for $50 about a week and a half ago with no issues.
I do recall a post for GSM versions that Transcend branded memory did not work.
Please post your results for those who are looking to purchase higher capacity memory.

look at rom development
I don't have a 16GB Transcend but I bought an 8GB one off of eBay for pretty cheap and it works well with my Telus TP2.
16gb duracell, working well.
Class 7 ?
Hi,
I just bought an PNY 8G premium micro sd
Read: 15 MB/s
Write: 7 MB/s
Capacity: 8 GB
Trans speed: 15 MB/s
I think it has the best performance you can get at the moment. If i'm wrong please tell me wich one is better in speed and quality (besides its capacity of course).
I have a 16GB kingston bought off E-Bay ... working flawlessly, it's only class 2 I believe, but I notice no lag when loading up or transferring apps.

When comparing prices, please make sure to note the speed class also. This is talked about in another thread somewhere, but basically there are class 2, 4, 6 and coming eventually 10. Class 2 is the slowest, but also the least expensive. The speed is supposedly important when transferring data back and forth from the micro SD card to the PC or phone, accessing data stored on the card from a program running on the phone, and when using programs that are stored on the card. I don't have anything to compare what that means in real life terms, people with Class 2 don't seem to have any complaints, but I'd imagine watching a movie stored on the card would be the true test, and that may be answered in another thread.
I happen to have a Transcend 8gb Class 6, which is working great.
16 GB?
Not to be an @ss, but more importantly, what do you need 16 GB for?
I have a 4 GB with TomTom maps taking up half and I can't imagine filling the rest of it with pictures or video. Just curious what people actually use the capacity on a phone for, other than to say they have it...
I would assume most want it for video and music. Ipods come in MINIMUM 4GB these days.

True, I guess I don't use my phone for entertainment too much, mostly work. So I never think to use it for a music or video player.

[Q] 16 GB or 32 GB version?

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!
Ron
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.

Music, movies, documents, pictures, all of the above. The advantage to the modern smartphone is that it eliminates the need to carry multiple devices everywhere. With a phone like this one, it would be a shame to NOT have a couple of your favorite movies on it in good quality, as the screen is excellent and I'm pretty sure that's why there is a mini-HDMI out on this thing.
As for mine, I keep The Hangover and a selection of a couple other movies I could watch 200 times over on my phone. I also have about 4GB of the most recent flavor of musical interest as well, and keep some general information PDFs and some tech files and notes for work and school on my phone. Oh, and I plan on using it as my primary camera at the next few trade shows I go to.

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!

With the thoughts and insights in the replies, I ordered the tablet. Unfortunately, I will have to wait a while to get it. Amazon has it back ordered.
Thanks for your replies.
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.

What size Galaxy s6 did you get(32gb, 64gb or 128gb) and why

Hello all,
I should be getting my 64GB Galaxy s6 tomorrow(so pumped up...new toy) but i am hoping that with all the stuff i have on my phone now that 64GB will be enough.
Am i the only one that is thinking this?
Most likely i will play with it over the weekend and see what to do then. but i think i should have gone bigger..
Thanks
I got the 64GB to replace my S4 16GB+32GB mSD which I never filled. The price to upgrade to 64GB on Edge wasn't bad, and even though I never filled it before, 32GB felt "limiting"
164GB just sounded silly for my needs. But, if I traveled more I'd want the music and movie storage

Hello all,
I should be getting my 64GB Galaxy s6 tomorrow(so pumped up...new toy) but i am hoping that with all the stuff i have on my phone now that 64GB will be enough.
Am i the only one that is thinking this?

Also got the 64gb.
Had to stop myself from buying the 64gb edge.. Was a lot easier when the guy offered a wireless charger, meant less money to spend.
64gb because 128 is far too much and 32gb is far too little.
If I wanted more than 64gb I'd simply OTG it up!
i bought the Edge 64GB because they didnt have the 128GB available and will learn to live with less space.
bigger is always better
you should have gone for the 128gig one, especially when u start talking about movies and series they will gobble up your space in no time.
128 GB because...
- It's only $100 more than the 64 GB.
- Even with cloud storage and services, I like to download torrents directly to my phone to watch later.
- If I want higher quality music, I'll download FLAC files and those take up a lot of space.
- I know I'll regret getting anything less than the max space they offer.
- I can't add space at a later date.
- The phone will definitely have a high resale value as this is most-likely the rarest S6.
- It's only $100 more than the 64 GB.

Which is only $100 more than the 32GB. But in the end you are talking about $599 vs $799 which is a huge difference.

It would be higher than the 32GB, but you aren't going to come close to recouping the $200 premium.

I wouldn't even consider the 32 GB because of the other reasons I stated.

But still more than if I were to sell a 32 GB or 64 GB a year from now.
I am getting the 128gb just planning ahead. Who knows what is in store for us in the future, and I just wanted to make sure that I had enough.
I too am coming from an S4 with 16gb +32gb SD (since the S5 wasn't a large enough leap to make the change), as I am sure many feel the same way.
I ordered the 128gb because there isn't a micro SD slot anymore, and I don't want to have to worry about memory. Just peace of mind really.
I picked up the 64gb version. Although the 128 was only another $100, I didn't need that much space.
I too got the 64gb. You have 50gb free on a new device. For me that's plenty and if I fill it up with pics I can just dump them on my computer. I also have a tablet with an SD card I can store stuff on. If I only had a phone though I might opt for more.
I got the 64 because I had an s5 worth a 16 gig sd card and both were pretty full. Also like stated before, who knows what's in store for us in the future. Also, apps seem to be getting bigger and bigger.
So the system files take up 14 GB?

System is a little over ten and then apps take up some more. It's between 12 and 14. Don't remember exact number.
I got the regular Galaxy S6 64GB in black sapphire on Verizon. I used about 20-25GB on average when I was using my Galaxy S4. So 64GB seems to be more appropriate for me. 128GB would have been nice but for the price point, I don't need it that much.

i purchased a 128gb white S6. I'm coming from a 32GB + 64GB SD Card S5. I like to download my spotify playlist to the phone, i also listen to tons of podcasts, plus I sync my school files/work files to the phone through Dropbox/Dropsync. I don't want to worry about running out of space.
Well i decided to trading up to a 128gb from 64gb. I talked to Verizon and made the trade.
I should be getting the 128gb on the 24th, so until then i will be using the 64gb:good:
Not a big fan of Internet ("cloud") based storage. I was thinking 64GB might be just enough but then went with 128GB ...Yes, Samsung won [emoji14]

Got my wife the 64GB one. She had 32GB S4 and a 32gb SDCard.
