One of my friends is going to buy a Droid X and Verizon is offering a 32GB MicroSD for $100 with the purchase of a Droid X. My friend already has a 16GB MicroSd and does not want to spend any more money. He offered to get me the 32GB MicroSD from Verizon if I gave him the money. Does anyone know what's the highest capacity MicroSD supported in the Captivate? Everywhere I read it says "up to 32GB" supported which I "assume" includes the integrated 16GB.
its 32gb. it what most of all new phones capacity. it means whooping 48gb that we can have in samsung captivate. now thats alot of memory.

Could you please point me to a link where I can verify this information. I hate to waste $100. 48GB sound great, but I want to be completely sure.
I dont think you can use a 32gb. Everywhere ive read it says 16gb max is what is supported.
I think because the internal memory is actually an SD card itself, and the max sdhc standard can handle is 32. So 16 internal and 16 microsd = 32 -> full

Look under "SD card and phone storage" and it clearly has an "internal SD card" as well as external
which is why i mentioned the above
pdadb.net says "microSD, microSDHC, TransFlash
Supports High Capacity (SD 2.0/HC) memory cards with capacity of up to 32GB"
they could be wrong though. id get a 16 just in case. the proce on the 32 is retarded high for now.
I have a 32GB SanDisk card in my Captivate.
I bought it yesterday from Verizon's website for $99 including free next day shipping.
The captivate fully supports the SDHC format, thus it supports adding cards up to 32 gigs. Should be the same for any SDHC compliant device. The only exception to this are a hand-full of devices that support 4gig and smaller SDHC cards via ugly hacks.
On a side note, it's redundant to say " supports SDHC up to 32 gigs", since there will never be a SDHC card >32 gigs, but that's advertising for you

I have a 32 gb card now, and the internal of 16. Both show up at their correct capacities, and when I fill them all the data is accessible.
Ah, it's too bad that ALL the prerelease materials state the maximum SD size as 16 GB. I would have purchased a 32 gig if I had known.

its 32gb
(too short )
All Galaxy S devices can support external SD cards up to 32gb, that is excluding the internal storage. I have a 32gb card in mine, which I will never ever fill up.
Samsung's site, FYI, currently specifies 32GB support for the microSD card slot:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-I897ZKAATT-features
If you got $200 to spare you can buy a 64gb sdxc card and see if it works. I personally don't need that much space, but i can use that much money
The only time it wasnt recommended to use a 32G was with a MiUi rom but
i think that issue is fixed anyway
SDXC in captivate
The temptation of 80gb on my phone was too great- I caved and bought a 64gb SDXC card from sandisk for 80 bucks. I dumped a few videos from my desktop onto the card to test it out, and got a damaged sd card message, prompting to format it. I clicked okay, forgetting that the ICS build I'm using formats internal SD instead of external SD. So that hurt.
Next I tried a nook color using CM7. Got the same damaged sd card, but it was able to format it. I got a reboot as it attempted to re-mount it following the format, but following the reboot, it was usable. It played video and showed up as 59.6GB or something close. This newly android-formatted card wouldn't work in when stuck back in the captivate, however. It's possible that it will work on a different rom- one that's able to format it itself, but after losing the internal SD, I'm going to hold off on messing around with an old GB rom.
What is a better Micro SD Card
Toshiba or Sandisk?
I was thinking of getting the Toshiba 16GB for AUD$35
and those who have an external MicroSD in their SGS, do you mainly put your music in there?
Apps & images you save in the internal memory?

Sandisk should be pretty good even if they under rate their cards, I usually store anything that I can afford to lose at anytime on the internal memory and my photo/music and ect on the external card. Usually I store movies on the internal mem since ill be deleting it often.
any branded microsd will be fine, i've used the sandisk 16gb C2, toshiba 16gb C2, adata 32gb C2 and now i have a lexar 32gb C10.
I ended up getting the Toshiba 16GB Class 4. The store ran out of Sandisk 16GB

32gb.
Everything higher would be SDxc and thus not compatible with our device
I'm using a class 4 card and feel it's sufficient. But since SD cards are fairly cheap in most countries nowadays, I'd choose a class 10 card. They just read and write way quicker (and can subsequently also be applied to enhance your RAM ).
hi all I was thinking tmo is only coming out with the 32GB note edge is it worth waiting for the 64 GB if it ever comes out or go with the 32GB ?
There will likely never be a 64gb version. It is a non-issue with a card slot. Add a 128gb card and you have a 160gb phone! Plus the Lollipop update will eventually make sd cards act as something very close to system memory.
Yea I believe they are only doing the 32gb.
I don't think it's worth it to wait.
As said you can add a 128gb card. Most apps right now will read from the sd card. The phone now will storage normal pictures on the SD card, continuous shots are stored on the phone tho.
But other then that movies, music and files can be on the SD card.
And 5.0 will change that to be more like the old android ways.

any card with u3 or a1 speed or say 90 mb/s
I just picked this one up. Read about it and it seems to perform as good as any. I also read that smaller sizes perform better, so I went middle of the road size wise (compared to others).
SanDisk
The Samsung ones are actually quite good. Been using the same card for a while now for recording 4k videos without issues.
Just got a Kingston Micro SDXC 256GB (R100W80), but same as previous Xperia models, the card reader seems still limiting the speed quite a lot.
Ran A1 SD Bench once and the result was:
Read: 32.92MB/s
Write: 28.51MB/s
