Is there currently support for the dock's SD card slot in CM 10.1? The "nightly" thread doesn't seem to mention any problems in this regard.
For me, no SD card inserted into the dock's slot seems to be recognized by my TF700. I also don't get any entries in /dev/block.
The USB-port on the dock seems to work fine with USB-sticks. I was wondering if the non-functioning slot on the dock is a known issue with 10.1. Unfortunately I didn't test the slot with the stock firmware, so I am also wondering whether there might be a hardware defect.
Any input is appreciated.
Best regards,

Thank you for your answer. Sadly this doesn't seem to be it. The cards which I've tried were all formatted as FAT32.
The micro SD card, which is working fine in the interal slot, is also not recognized when inserted into the dock's slot using an adapter.
Is there anyone using QM 10.1 on his TF700 who can ascertain that the dock's SD card slot should work?

Try changing it from fat32 (I know if it isnt a stock kernal they arent able to use it) and try that. I cant remember where i read it from but some cm10.1 roms have difficulty with acknowledging the card. If all else fail try a clean download with your computer and slide it over to your tablet re-install (no dirty flashing lol) and see if that improves it. If you know anyone else with an infinity try it out with there pad to see if its hardware related

I have heard reports that you can't use a card > 16Gb in the tablet but that's unconfirmed AFAIK.
I've also heard rumours that the keyboard's full-size SD card slot will take SDXC format cards which supports >32Gb capacity but again I've seen no confirmation of that.
I am snapping this up as soon as it's released here.
Questions on the storage:
1-As mentioned above, is this confirmed that the tablet microSD won't accept anything larger than 8GB?
2- If i get the dock and say I have a 16gb microsd card in the tablet and 32gb sd card in the dock, i should be able to access BOTH of these from the tablet (while docked) correct? So theoretically, I would have 16GB-built in flash on tablet + 16GB microsd card on tablet + 32GB SD card in dock = 64GB?
3-I just want to find out if by docking the tablet, the tablet storage just acts like another drive?
Thanks

1- Even though I have the original manual here as a pdf, there's no info on what is the maximum size of SD card in the tablet slot.
2- I'm 99% sure that it's like that. Everything else would be stupid because many android applications store data on the (tablet) sd card.
3- yes, quite sure it does.
As a plus, you can use the USB 2.0 ports to add external hard drives.
Quote from manual:
USB Port (2.0)
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) is compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices such as keyboards, pointing devices, flash disk drive and hard disk drives.

There's a way to use USB host without the dock? I don't want to buy the keyboard because i've already got a 13" notebook for mobility, i just need a tablet but the USB host is necessary for me.

Thanks for the reply!
In that case, I can't wait to get this tablet what a great concept, best of both worlds. No need to buy a case, just shut the lid and you can carry it on travel without worrying too much just like a laptop, with all the various expandability options, no need to worry about HDD space either.
When combined with dock, it actually has 2 3.5mm sockets, which means I can use 1 device and myself and my wife can watch the same thing with 2 headphones and not worry about viewing angles thanks to the IPS screen...
So long as the 16GB tablet+dock comes in at around $500 or less, I am good...!

Any answer on maximum capacity?

Did you by any chance find out what is the maximum capacity of the microSD card that can be used in the tablet?
I have a 16Gb class 10 installed and working perfect. I'm just thinking to purchase one of 64Gb and I'm not sure it will work.
There is no rated max capacity, I've see people who put 128GB cards in there (NTFS formatted) that work fine.
That's great news. I'll try to find a good deal on a 64Gb card and use it with my Transformer
Does anyone know if we can connect an external USB drive to the TF101 without the dock? Thanks.

yes you can but you need to mod your charging cord or buy the asus proprietary port/usb dongle
When i got this tablet, it came with a 16 GB Lexar Micro SDHC card. The only problem is that my TF-101 doesn't recognize it even though it says preparing External Storage. I have a SD card adapter, but idk if it will work with a SDHC, so idk if I can format it to Fat32. Any ways to solve this?
Plug it into a PC if you can, and check what filesystem its formatted as. Then try reformat it to fat32.
And just to clarify, the "HC" part in SDHC simply stands for "High Capacity", which generally means SD cards larger than 2GB.
Some devices can have issues with certain SDHC cards (like my Wii and my N7B), but to my knowledge TF101 is not one of those devices.
Of course, that said, that doesnt mean some weird china-knockoff brand will work, but Lexar isnt that bad and shouldnt pose any issues imo.
So uh, yea, try reformatting it to fat32.
I've several MicroSD cards. One of them, a 16GB one, is unable to work with TF using internal slot. The card works in my PC under Linux and/or Win7, but NOT in TF using internal slot. If I plug an external SD reader in the dock USB port, card is read without any problem.
Of course my other cards work like a charm with internal slot. Why? I don't know.
My solution: use this 'special' SD microUSB card in other device and buy a new one with my TF.
My Lexar 32gb class 10 quit working suddenly as well...the past couple of days it has not been recognized when in the micro SD slot BUT when I put it in an adapter and insert it in my dock it will work just fine. The only thing I have changed was update to the latest OC ICS kernels...wonder if that's the issue?
Hey everyone,
Im not sure whats going on but my 16gb micro sd card is acting strange. My TF doesnt recognize it at all (not while running, not in recovery, etc) but if I put it in my sd card in the dock it will see it. Also, when I put it int my computer it sees it when I am using a sd card adapter.
I have tried other micro sd cards and they work fine in ym TF, so im thinking its something with the card but not sure. Anyone have any ideas what I can do to make my TF see this micro sd card?
Well the first thing you should try is reformatting it to fat32.
Its weird it works in the dock though ...
ya i tried reformatting it but it still doesnt recognize it
I have the same problem, since today my micro sd card is not shown anymore. I did not do anything with it before, not even removed it or whatever...what can I do to be able to use it again? :-(
Im not sure....i have tried everything but thinking that its the card itself since I can use other micro sd cards just fine. Sucks since that was my 16gb card. Im going to keep trying and if I find anything then I will let you know.
Is it any card or a specific card that doesnt work?
I got the dock for my TF700. Works fine for everything I tested so far EXCEPT I cannot get the SD card slot to work.
I've tried about half a dozen SD cards from 2GB to 32GB, mostly SanDisk but a couple of off brands. The TF700 does not recognize any of them. It shows the microSD in the tablet and that all works fine, but I wonder if I got a bad keyboard dock.
This happen to anybody else?
Thanks.

It is happening to me as well... I am wondering if the MicroSD card can function at the same time as the SD card on the dock... Maybe it can only handle one or the other...
I did get mine to work finally. What I did was turn the tablet off and disconnect it from the dock. Then with an SD card inserted, I redocked the tablet and started it. Then it recognized the SD card. No further problems.

they work fine together.
Got new TF700T 64GB. Trying all the features to ensure my unit is fine and come across one issue.
Inserting Apacer 2GB micro SD into Apacer SD card adaptor slot in dock and will not read. Comes up for a second reading but will not mount. Tried normal full size SD card in slot and works fine. Also tried taking Micro SD out of adaptor and putting into Micro SD slot in tablet and reads fine. Upgraded to .26 and same issue. Guess the Micro SD adaptor is faulty? It works fine in PC and other devices. Anyone else experienced same issue with SD Adaptors with Micro SD inserted into SD slot in dock?
I think my unit is fine and no need to return.. Thoughts?

yeah, it might just be the adapter. try with a different one. i had a 64gb micro in an adapter and it worked just fine.
I've had a microSD to SD adapter once that worked fine in my computer and my wife's laptop but nowhere else. That turned out to be caused, in all probability, due to some contacts being out of line and seemingly the contacts on our own systems were screwed up as well. The fact that it reads correctly in the main unit itself does suggest the fault lies somewhere in the adapter and not in your system.

Just tested my Sandisk 16gb MicroSD card in an adapter in the dock SD slot and it worked fine.
