Has anyone tried a 64GB microSD card in the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus?
I have a class 10 32GB one in there at the moment, but at £37 for a 64GB I'd love to expand it further, but I don't want to pay out for one if it doesn't work!
Does anyone know if 32GB is the most it will take, or can I get a 64GB one?
I would believe the 7.0 maxes out at 32GB. 64GB is SDXC, which isn't listed on any spec sheets, only SD and SDHC.
It works fine with 64 gb, mine does.

altho it said max is 32... The 64gb work fine...
more importantly, where from at £37.00 ?
Sorry, Google Shopping showed £37 as a price for a 64GB MicroSD, but when I got round to actually looking properly, it was an incorrectly labelled standard SD card.
Amazon are however selling them for £60 now, which means the price is coming down slowly!
I have a 64gb in mine and it works just fine.
amazon were nocking them out at £42 last week - I only bought one because I didn't believe it was genuine, even though they were supplied by amazon I was still suspicious. I wish I had taken a chance and ordered 2 or 3, because sure enough they are genuine sandisk cards and work well in all my devices - that's my tab, my xperia arc s and my Archos 70 IT2, I wish I'd bought one for each
Be careful of Class 10 or UHS 1 cards!

Just wanted to post a follow-up in this thread. At the time of these messages, the Class 6 cards were out, and it appears that they do work.
However, it's now September, and Class 10 cards are out, and they DO NOT work. The GT 7.7 people discovered (and I just "accidentally" confirmed on my stock ICS P6210) that Class 10 64GB cards get irreparably damaged when used on our Tabs. I have Class 10 cards in my S3 and Galaxy Note, and they're fine, but my P6210 just ate one on the first large file write - as has been seen on the 7.7 tabs as well!.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460201&page=7 and other posts for reference.
I've just ordered a Class 6 64GB card from Amazon, and expect no problems with it - but be warned that many people are having problems with the Class 10 cards, on the 7.7 and (now) the 7.0+ tabs.
FWIW, YMMV...
U just got to format the card to a suitable format, mine runs just fine on fat32.

Hey guys, just out of curiosity.
I have a couple of questions about the supported memory card for this device.
What is the maximum capacity supported by this drvice?
What is the fastest speed supported? (which class)
Thanks.

Thanks for asking this question, I wasn't sure myself and was going to ask, until I saw this thread, but I am glad that this tablet can use a card of this capacity because my wife is using a 32gb class 10 that is just about full of music, movies and ebooks. So, I just surprise her with a bigger sd card after all.

Hi, I apologize for the mistake in my previous post, she is currently using a regular SanDisk class 4 card, she had previously used the Mobile Ultra series class 10 though before she decided to use it in her T989 instead since she was having boot loop issues with the regular class 4.
I bought it from Best Buy in August when it was on sale for $40.
She had 1 issue with the card though, when she was in the process of moving the files and folders off of her pc, where she had copied the contents of the class 4 sd card she previously used in her SGS2, to her new class 10, SD card.
All was fine, until she had copied her NANDROID back up folder which was about 3 or 4 gb in size, everything else had copied over just fine.
When she copied her NANDROID back up folder to the Mobile Ultra card from her W7 laptop, where she had previously copied the class 4 card, and after one file couldn't be copied, the card became corrupted, and she couldn't read the card in her computer, phone or tablet, and formatting it didn't work at all. I even tried in my own device, and although I was able to read it, when she couldn't, it wouldn't format in my phone or tablet either.
In Windows, it said something about the file name being too long, and it would not let either of us rename or delete the file because it said that it was write protected, (it wasn't) and then sometime after that, the file name had some gibberish and was 6gb in size and we could not format it at all.
This happened with both sd cards, and so, I took them back to Best Buy and got another Mobile Ultra card that she now uses in her phone, and since then she hasn't had any issues. I also bought a USB card reader, and used the new card with it just in case the issue was with the sd card adapter it came with.
That said though, the Mobile Ultra cards, worked just fine in her T869, it was just one file that was inside the NANDROID back up folder that corrupted both cards.
I recently ordered a Team 64GB MicroSDXC card from New eggs for my Galaxy Tab Plus. Like the SanDisk 64GB Micro SDXC card, the Team card is also UHS-1. I installed it in my Tab Plus, where it initially recognized it.
As I started transferring some music files, the SD card stopped responding and the dreaded "damaged SD card message" popped up. I pulled out the SD card and tried to see if I could re-format it. However, in horror, none of my Windows 7 PCs could recognize it in my SDXC card reader; even Disk Management wasn't seeing anything! At that point, I concluded that my card was toast and was ready to return it. However, I decided to try to see if I could get it to work again before returning it, considering it was brand new.
I read through the thread on 64GB cards over at the Galaxy Tab 7.7 forums (as we share the same hardware and 64GB card issues) and found that some had found success with re-creating the partition table in Linux. I used Gparted, which saw the Team 64GB card, but had some initial difficulties, as the card would not stay mounted/visible for too long. After several inserts, I finally was able to wipe the corrupted partition on the card and used Gparted's option to re-create the partition table. After doing this, the dismounting issue disappeared, but Gparted still had trouble creating a full FAT32 partition on the card. I then tried zeroing it out with dd (same command that bex0rs used for his SanDisk 64GB card in the 7.7 thread). After a lengthy process, Gparted was finally able to create a full 64GB FAT32 partition without issue.
The Team 64GB SDXC card was then able to be seen by my Windows 7 PCs and I was able to transfer over 30 GB of content to the card without issue. Even my retired DROID Incredible and Nook Color were able to read and write to it fine. However, I have not tried it in my Galaxy Tab Plus, in fears that it would kill it, so I'm keeping it in my DROID Incredible for the mean time.
In short, if you want to try to salvage your dead 64GB MicroSDXC cards, you can try this. But it definitely seems that UHS-1 cards are the culprit with the Galaxy Tab Plus/7.7 tablets and should NOT be used in those tablets.

hi i have tried 64 gb class 10 ones since there was no class 6 available at the time, and the card always got damaged after the approximately 30gb of data was copied to card. But now I can see class 6 ones on online shop but really want to make sure whether it works or not since this is also uhs-1 card. If any one of you have tried class 6 SanDisk with more than 30 gb of data then please tell me about your experience.
Does P6200 support exFAT format of 32G micro SD and be used by bitcomet to write a 10G video file?
Hey guys, just bought the new Samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 with the micro .sd card slot. I was wondering if any one knows if the tablet takes 64.gb and if not what can i do to make that work. Thank you for your help.
Some people have reported that it will take a class 10 64GB complete with screenshots.

I just just got a sgt 2 10.1 and concider to buy the sdxc, but did you manage to get it to work? Can you save to the card? Appreciate all advice.
Yes, 64GB cards work in this tablet. I bought this one and I am using it now:
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Mobile-MicroSDXC-Memory-Adapter/dp/B005V7WIA2/
And yes, you can write to it as well.
BUT...note that it will not work out of the box. It is pre-formatted in a way that is incompatible with the tablet. And the tablet will not format it for you, even though it will offer to.
However, if you reformat it with the VFAT filesystem in a computer first, it will work fine in the tablet. I used Linux's "mkfs" utility to do this.
I'm interested in this too...13 + 32GB of usable data isnt enough.
And LavaJoe, any idea how we could do that without Linux?

Hello there, I'm using Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" too..
my problem is the same with yours. (I bought the 64GB one, SanDisk)
I don't have any other Android device to format it, I might have to borrow my friends' device.
I'd like to ask whether the SDXC card will automatically works on the tablet if the size is compatible or not..
I mean, will it saves files, music, games, applications, etc to the external storage? (If the size is compatible)
because you said that we can move them, but we have to move them manually..
I could use any kind of suggestions and helps here..
by the way, I'm new here..
Anyone succeeded in using a SDHC 64 GB (not sdxc) card in it?
Any hint is welcome... & thanks in advance,
Chris

Sorry, but the only 64gb card the s2 10.1 tab will take is the standard micro card .If you put in a sdxc1..it WILL work but ONLY up to 32gb,then it will almost certainly lock and you might not be able unlock it..or reformat it even in a computer

NOT correct. You'll find cards that'll give you all of the 64...
a huge discussion all around.
So, I was just playing around with it. It seems that CM11 is supporting exFAT file system with our tablet. Therefore my 64GB microSDXC is working right after formatted from within Windows 7 on exFAT.
although the tab has been out for about a month, the 64 wasn't released til March 7th (and as online order only) and the 64 white version yesterday March 14th
there's really only been enough time for a black 64 to have reached the owner's hands so far. I am not expecting to hear from a large number of people lol
anyways... I've been reading about sd card problems and how this tab is affected, but I have not ran into any such problem myself using a 64gb fat32 formatted sd card on the black 64gb NOTE pro 12.2 (Wi-Fi only). I called Samsung to ask them about it too and they nothing short of denied this problem ever existed in the first place.

I still have mine pre ordered, if that really is the case, I might have to cancel the pre order. When I called to ask why it would take this long to receive my unit, they said they had "high demands." I don't see too many people spending $850.00 for this, so there has to be a bug that they are looking into.

but no it ain't high demand, just the release date being later, so it wasn't even available to ship til a week ago / yesterday depending on the color you're getting
The problem isn't with one specific model, it is with anything running KitKat that hasn't been properly patched by the distributor. There is a workaround that requires root and editing build.prop.

I think there are two separate problems. One is that Kitkat disables writes to SD. The other is that some of the Galaxy tabs simply can't use 64GB uSD.
I have a 32GB Pro 12.2. It worked fine with a 32GB card from Samsung (at least, for picture storage). I rooted recently and enabled SD writes, which also worked fine for things like Titanium backup. Then I swapped in a 64GB Samsung card and have had lots of problems. I can't create folders on it with an explorer app. After a couple of pictures, the card simply fails and the camera switches to internal storage. I can unmount and remount but that doesn't do anything. At some point the tab reported a bad card.
I tried a bunch of stuff: switching to another 64GB Samsung card, low-level format, reformatting as extFAT and 64GB FAT32 with the tool from Ridgecrop, and so on. The cards both seem to work fine in the laptop but not in the tab.
I had similar problems with the cards in my Galaxy 5S, but after a few formats, one of the cards seems to be working fine now formatted as FAT32. However, at first it was corrupting pictures and losing data.
It's possible I got *two* bad Samsung uSDs, but unlikely.
Bottom line is that even if you root and follow instructions for making SD writable, you might not get a 64GB SD to work. It's possible this is fixed with the 64GB tablet.
Update! Apparently my cards were counterfeit. I just tried two new Sandisk cards and they work fine.
The fix I've found for cards not working is to make sure when you format them as FAT32, you also set them as a Primary partition rather than Logical. That solved all my SD card problems with other devices.
I have no SD card issues yet either, just received my unit on the 19th 64GB model with a 64GB microsd card from my note 2012

Oh didn't know the S5 supported SD cards that large.
I'd be very very surprised if that's really 128GB.
I would soak test it before you put data on above about 4-8GB. I would also have a good close look at the partition table.
Just speaking from experience unless that's a second user one that's about a half to a third of the best prices out there.

Using top dollar sandisk 128gb card. works flawlessly. no issues at all. wish I could figure out how to get burst photos to go straight to card.
This is the card I'm using. Been running it for a few months with no problems whatsoever.
128 Gb works just fine. It's class 10 sdcard. No issues. Unrooted+rooted.
Tried this card on a lg g pro 2 though. There i had a lot of problems.
I thought the S5 could only handle 64GB memory cards? I'm using a 64GB sandisk one and it works perfectly! In my opinion thats more than enough and I got it at a good price :fingers-crossed:

Adata 128gb sdhc??
so this is the card that I bought off ebay. Ebay you say...... well its a huge piece of ****. to start it is a fake, found that out when I started to write to it and after it reached around 8GB it started to overwrite what was already there! SD card test app confirmed it. check before you buy, some fakes can be identified easily. below is what ADATA replied to me when I had asked them WTF was wrong my damn card. like it mentions below, check the manufacturers website for any pictures of the cards and related packaging and descriptions. bottom line is you get what you pay for. A $20 card is far from a $100. for me the card was cheap so I was willing to risk it, but I saw some Samsung cards as high as $80 and they were also fakes. Ill wait for the price to go down, and get it from a local reputable retailer.
Thank you for contacting ADATA.
You mentioned that you have a 128GB MicroSDHC memory card. However, ADATA has not manufactured any MicroSD memory cards that has exceeded the capacity of 64GB (please visit the following link to our current memory card product offerings):
http://www.adata.com/index.php?action=product&cid=7&lan=en&cid1=3
Also, MicroSD memory cards with capacities of 64GB and above are categorized as MicroSDXC, not MicroSDHC.
There’s a suspicion that you might have purchased a counterfeit product. To verify, please compare your item against the product images we have listed on our web pages. We could assist you with identifying the product as well if you could send us images of your product.
no, i haven't fill up my 16 gb internal yet :v
Using 128GB Class 10 on my Verizon S5 and have no issues at all.
Biggest problem I had was transferring files from previous 32GB to the 128GB (A lot of files, took a while).
I am also rooted and I have to say being rooted is better with the bigger (or any) SD card that way you can use the SDFix app and allow file browsers to write to SD.
I'm using a SanDisk Ultra 64 GB card for now but will jump to 128 GB sooner rather than later since it seems everyone has had good luck with using legit cards. I'm kind of waiting for a sub-$100 deal, though.
Anyone find any discounted 128gb SD cards on Amazon or anything?

It should just work, storage is storage. I am not sure what in the software, memory IO, or processors would make much of a difference. My 64GB samsung Class10 card works in the oldest of old devices that I have as far as android phones go, no problem. Even back in the android 2.3 OS. My Mifi hotspot even accepts and shares my 64gb sd cards' contents over DLNA.

Hello,
I am thinking about buying a 128 GB micro sd card. Just wondering if Note Pro 12.2 P905 supports UHS-3, if it does, perhaps I would wait it a bit longer for the Lexar one (1000x with UHS-3), otherwise I might just go with the
Sandisk one (SDSDQUAN-128G-G4A).

It has pretty much the very same specs than Galaxy Note 3, which supports UHS-3. So my guess, I said guess, you gonna find support for this micro SD card.

It does, yes.
Thing is, the MicroSD specs written on the official specs list are based on whats available at the moment of the first production. So the information doesn't account for newer cards, even though they work perfectly.

Thanks for all the replies. Then this brings to my attention that why none of the cards works as fast as what they are advertised. Is the problem of the cards, or it is simply something is not implemented on the machine so that the maximum speed cant be reached ?
