I can't seem to find this anywhere, and I just want to confirm this...
The TF supports up to 32 GB Micro SD without the dock, is this correct?
I just want to make sure before I potentially buy the wrong thing.
Yes micro sdhc without the dock, the dock have sd (and sdxc as far as i know)...

a better question is what class of sd card do we need? And does it matter? class 4 or class 10? (i know there is a speed difference but will we notice?)
Yes 32gb is the max for the microsd. And the highest class level the better. You would see a dramatic difference in write speed (if you had 2 to compare). Link about sd cards.
I have MicroSd Samsung 16Gb Class 2 and works fine
32GB Class 4 with no problems...
Buy.com had a sale other day for a Lexar 32gb Class 10 for about $90...
I jumped on it. It has pretty good reviews.
Hey just got my SIII and was wondering if it supports a 128GB micro sd card? I couldn't find any info on it so thought i would just ask here.
thanks for any info
i think the data-sheet over at samsung.com states, that micro-SD's up to 64 GB are supported.
i guess that some 128GB cards might work, but aren't officially supported.
Wow its great........

I think all the devices that Samsung has produced all stated 32GB was max, but it turned out 64GB worked too. Let's hope that logic still holds when the 128GB is released!
Does anyone know when we will see 128GB microSD cards in the market?
Or perhaps there is a way to fit a full SDXC card into a microSD slot using an adapter and hiding it underneath the battery cover or connecting it using a thin laminate conductor that could be wedged through one end of the battery cover...
I'm not sure about any FAT32 limitations other than 4GB file size limit, but as long as the S3 supports microsdxc (which it does since it supports 64gb cards), it should be able to support any sdcard size.
I myself have a 64gb microsdxc card and have done a lot of research.
TL;DR: Galaxy S3 supports any size microsdxc card.

I'm not sure when we'll see 128gb microsd cards but I heard that sandisk developed the NAND. Hopefully Android 4.1 supports exFat (or does it already?) so we can actually utilize cards that big. The main reason to use a card that big would be for storing movies and TV shows, but any files over 4gb would have to be broken up first which is a PITA to do.
maybe in the future

This may seem like a random question, but why are 64Gb Micro SD cards cheaper than 64Gb SSD's. Are they not both flash? Does it have do do with the read/write speeds?

I wish 64GB micro SD cards were cheaper than 64 GB SDDs
on amazon 64GB SSD start from $60, 64GB micro SD cards start at $70
galaxy s3 on 128 gb
it is possible in galaxy s3.. with 64gb internal memory and support of 64gb on external memory.. but i dont know how much it will slow down the phone..
would recommend to use class 4,6 or even higher ones of mini sd card available for better results
Those aren't out yet......
Hey there,
The 128GB MicroSDXC cards have not come out yet so there's no point speculating early.
The Galaxy S III is stated to support up to 64GB currently, as that is the largest sized card out so far under the MicroSDXC banner. Once the 128GB cards are released, it SHOULD support those unless for some reason it has an artificial restriction imposed on it.
The other thing is, once the cards DO come out, people like NZTechfreak will check it out for us anyway. The cards should hopefully start to be released in a few more months. Definately agree on the speed class advice, go with a minimum of class 6 or 8, anything slower will be painful for sizes above 32GB.
And the Galaxy S 3 does support ExFAT by the way. I've currently got a 32GB card in mine formatted as ExFAT with about 4 mkv files that are between 4.5-7GB each.

PLEASE NOTE TEXT BELOW IS A COPY FROM WIKIPEDIA
"Compatibility with SDHC
SDXC host devices accept all previous families of SD memory cards.[26] Conversely, SDHC host devices will accept SDXC cards that follow Version 3.0, since the interface is identical,[3] but the following issues may affect usability:
SDXC cards are pre-formatted with Microsoft's proprietary and patented exFAT file system, which the host device might not support. Since Microsoft does not publish the specifications of exFAT and its use requires a non-free license, many alternative or older operating systems do not support exFAT for technical or legal reasons. The use of exFAT on some SDXC cards may render SDXC unsuitable as a universal exchange medium, as an SDXC card that uses exFAT would not be usable in all host devices. Since the FAT32 file system supports volumes up to the SDXC's maximum theoretical capacity of 2 TB as well, a user could reformat an SDXC card to use FAT32 for greater portability between computers (see below). FAT32-formatted SDXC cards can be used in a host device built for SDHC if the host device can handle 64GB and larger volumes.
SDHC host devices will not test the new capability bits defined for SDXC 4.0 cards. It will therefore not be able to use the new features of SDXC, such as transfer speeds above UHS104 (104MB/s)."
So reading that I would infer yes the 64GB or some of them could work in the G3 but may not work above that without formatting to fat 32, if I read it right that is

FAT32 supports 2TB volume size w/ 4GB-1B file size constraints.
exFAT supports 64ZiB volume size w/ 16EiB file size constraints.
I use exFAT, which the S3 supports, owing to my 1080p MP4s taking in excess of 5GB.
Since the S3 can use exFAT, we are well future-proofed to the extent of the microsdxc format I imagine.

Actually they state 64GB SDHC not SDXC. An many are now finding out they are missing files (songs) when they leave it ExFat. So chances are it may not support larger than 64GB cards. I to have a 64GB SDXC card that I have formatted with my computer to Fat32.
This is according to my manual (Canadian/American version). The European may be different.
By the time 128GB cards are released and actually at a mass production price, people will be talking Galaxy S4.
Hmm 128gb sd card seems like ALOT. I have a 32gb with my GS3, so 48gb in total. I have alot of movies,videos,pictures,etc. and I still have about 12gb left.

I'm pretty sure SSDs have more sophisticated controllers and such. Though according to Google, SanDisk's 64GB MicroSDXC card is on average almost the same price as the 64GB SSDs here in the UK (£40-50). Also, even the fastest MicroSDs can only support about tenth of the transfer rate of an SSD (although they are still pretty fast... the 64GB card is supposedly capable of up to 30MB/s, which is impressive).

You might not be too far off actually. I mean, folks getting excited about the new 5" display exynos 5 GS4 will be in full rumor mill mode around what, March? Granted it won't be released till summertime, but I'd armchair guess we'll see 128Gb cards pop up at the beginning of the year. They'll be $200 though lol.
i don't no, but i think no.
(1) I'm going to buy a galaxy s4 when it comes out. I know it would probably be cheaper to buy the 16 mg version ,then buy micro sd card.
My question is does the phone work faster from the internal memory or does it pulll info just as fast from a micro sd card?
(2). Would sandisk extreme pro be a good choice ?

i have been using the SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC Class 10 and it works fine in the sg3
just make sure you get the ultra class 10 as it has faster speeds than the lower class cards
put the things that need to pull up fast on the internal memory like apps and put everything else on the card like music and things you wont notice a difference on

Not always true. I recommend reading benchmark test on the card you want to by and its competitors. I've seen some benchmarks where a Class 6 Sandisk beat out a Kingston Class 10 in the past in "some" writing areas.
I had a nightmare with sandisk in general both in my dslr and GS2. I use Lexar now and never had one issue. Sandisk has great customer service though. Refunded all 3 of my pro cards.

If the Galaxy S4 supports the UHS sdcards (45mb or 90mb read/write) then that would be as fast as you need imho.

This is extremely true! Never trust an SD card by what the claims are on the box. I have purchased many SD cards (all brands) over the last couple of months. 6 class 10 Sandisk all 32GB from different sources (Amazon, Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc...) and none of them benchmarked in at class 10. Most were between class 4 and 8 write speeds with read speeds being a bit better. 2 PNY 32 GB class 10 cards. Both of those tested above class 10 performance but died within 2 weeks. I have not been able to find and Amazon Basics 32 GB Class 10, but the other Amazon cards I have tried have worked well. Samsung cards seem to work well as well, but I have not benchmarked any of them. It really seems to be a crapshoot if you get a good card or not. Each specific device seems to like some brands better than others. Also, there is a huge (and I mean huge) problem with counterfeit cards and misrepresented (changed) class of cards flooding all markets. So good luck and let everyone know if you find a good card.
I also would say, download and do a full write format on the card with sdformatter https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ prior to use. I have gotten many 4 speed cards to record hd video on my t3i just by using that software, when a regular format won't work.

Hey,
i couldnt find any information about this, so i decided to make a new topic.
i am thinking about buying a microSD card to install the ROM on it.
Heard this should make the TF700T faster. I hope its true
now im looking for a good microsd.
a 16gb would be enough for me. i read some tests but im not sure now.
would i realize the difference between those two cards?
SanDisk Extreme microSDHC 16GB, UHS-I (SDSDQX-016G-U46A) read: 80MB/s • write: 30MB/s
SanDisk Extreme Pro microSDHC 16GB, UHS-I (SDSDQXP-016G-X46) read: 95MB/s • write: 90MB/s
because the price is x2

Forget the Extreme Pro, this device would not be able to handle such speed anyway. If i was you i would buy a cheaper SanDisk Ultra 32gb/64GB , at least this one was tested with this device and is working (btw, don't expect miracles from Data2SD... it will just improve random write a bit).

thank you for the answer.
i already thought that it would be too fast ;c
so i ordered a SanDisk Ultra microSDHC 32GB Class 10 card.
hope it will work well
yeah i know it wont be that much difference but i hope i can surf without lags!

what would be the fastest micro sd 64gb card for Z1c?Having sandisk mobile ultra but write aroud 7.5mb/s
I'm using Samsung 64Gb sdxd Read 30mb/s Write 20mb/s -
As for the fastest there is Toshiba 64gb USH-2 Micro SD Read 260mb/s 120mb/s Write speed.
Supposedly SanDisk Extreme 64Gb is fastest sdxd Read 80mb/s and Write 50mb/s
I bought this Sony microSDXC and am very happy with its speed.

its good fast card but its not as fast as the internal memory. example i can shoot 1080p 60fps video with no prob, but it cant take the fast burst mode on the camera, it slows down
4k video.
I'm looking at a 64gb card that can handle 4k vid recording from Z1 Compact so will the std one be ok or is there a minimum requirement?

it doesn't.. it sucks at 30/25 R/W only.
using this http://www.strontium.biz/products/flash-cards/microsd-cards/64gb-uhs1-u3-microsd-nitro-plus
on pc, speed is as advertised. but on Z1C i get 30/25 ish
Found something good .its new samsung evo 64. got for $40.look at images.one is in laptop sd slot .other inside z1c conected to lap using data cable.speeds are really good compaired to my sandiks write speeds
I also got the Samsung Evo 64. At first everything seemed fine but soon after I found I now have problems with the Z1C's camera when the Evo 64 is inserted into the phone. At first it starts lagging and then it crashes and can only then be fixed by a reboot.
Is anybody else experiencing problems with Z1C + Samsung Evo 64?
I'm quite sure the problem is specific to the Evo 64 card since I tested several other micro sd cards I had flying around (2gb noname, 8gb transcend,..) which all worked just fine and didn't crash the camera..
So maybe a non-UHS card is the better choice for the Z1C?

Actually it does, I am currently using this Sandisk Extreme Pro 32Gb micro SD.
It is very expensive but believe me results are very much pleasing...album thumbnails take no time to load at all and movies thumbnails alike. Therefore I can confirm a 32 GB UHS-1 SD Card can indeed be used by the Z1C, I just have no idea about the 64 GB Uhs cards
bought this 64gb card for 25 bucks on black friday: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M55C1I2/ref=pe_385040_127541860_TE_dp_1

I will never go with sandisk again. I bought samsung pro for my tab and z3, very contented with 40MB/sec speed. I bought Samsung evo for my brother for his Z1c. I guess samsung is the most reliable for memory cards. SanDisk just suddenly corrupted itself (their xtreme 64gb). It wasn't just a software failure but the controller chip failed (and it was also confirmed by the tech)

When I got my Z1c last december I quickly get one 32GB Kingston that is what i'm currently using with my device, mostly to store music, that is what I really matter to manage with it.
But it happens that my music catalog is growing fast over 30GB, so i'm interested in a 64GB SD... Think I need to start looking for that Samsung cards.
This is the one I use
Samsung Pro 64GB microSDXC UHS-1 Card.
Read Speed: Upto 90MB/s
Write Speed: Upto 80MB/s
This thing is wicked fast!
The review of this MicroSD card is on The SSD Review website. I can't post links unfortunately :crying:
In the review, it's actual speeds are extremely close to it's rated speeds. It's expensive though.
I will PM you the link.
I'm using the Samsung Evo 64GB. Works flawless.
I personally use Sandisk Extreme Pro SD Cards, UHS-1 up to 95Mb/s Read/Write Speed, kinda pricey but they're also waterproof
