largest sd card?

I have read conflicting reports on the maximum size microsd card for the captivate. Is it 32gb or 64gb? Hoping for 64gb so that i can stick it in my tablet as well...

No one has tried a 64gb card to see if it works?

I am also interested in this

I have done 32 GB but not 64 GB. 32 GB works nicely.

I would also like to know this bit of information. I've done 32 before with no problems. I'm curious about the 64.

I just successfully mounted a 64gb sandisk mircosd I got off of amazon. It was a little tricky getting the phone to recognize it (I had to use minitools to reformat it to FAT32), but I got it working.
I'm running the latest CM10 nightly and semaphore (I also tried it with devil kernel and it was working).

That's great news. You remember which card/class it was? What is the standard card file system? I want it to be compatible with my tablet too.

Oh sorry, I thought I had posted it. It is a SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1. It is supposed to use exFAT, which is what Windows will format it to, but my phone can't recognize it. Maybe newer android devices can, I'm not sure. I have an AT&T Captivate (Galaxy S), so it's a little on the old side nowadays.

[Q]32Gb SD Card for N7000-should I partition it into 2 or 3 'drives'?

I've acquired a 32Gb SD card (class 6) for my Galaxy Note (N7000) but I'm wondering if it could be a good idea to partition it into 2/3/4 logical 'drives' og keep it as one ?
The reason for splitting it up could/should be faster indexing on the phone (I'm not sure but may be one big 32G with a lot of files takes more time to scan/index ?)`also the sector size is probably bigger,'wasting' space with many smaller files (like .mp3 music files ..)
Let me hear your best recommendations or experiences.
Thanks :good:

I for one want the largest fastest available and currently have a 32G class 10. My next will be a 64G which should be faster. I would recommend class 10 and leave it at one partition. I would myself get frustrated with multiple drives and having to set different defaults for different apps.

Good point - thanks:good: - but isn't max external SD for Galaxy Note 32Gb ?

I have 32 GB class 4 and it isn't slowing down the phone one bit.
So I'd say you're gonna be fine.

which sandisk breaks in note 2?

I bought a 64gig sandisk ultra uhs speed class 1 xc i or whatever.. i heard of some of these being corrupted by the note 2? is it this specific one?

So far it looks like only the 32gb Sandisk ultra u1 are affected.
I would skip SanDisk and get a Samsung as no one has posted any issues about them.

64gb seem to be the most popular, thus making it look like more complaints are being given. I just formatted my 64gb card to fat32 as the exfat file system seems to be problematic on our devices.

There was a problem with the chipset used, it has been rectified now.

So what is the real problem exactly? If it is the chip set problem, wouldn't those cards affected still be in circulation?
I'm contemplating getting one myself but I'm leaning towards Samsung ones as well just to be on the safe side.

Can you elaborate? Chips on the card or the phone? Was this fixed/will it be fixed? I'm having issues now and have just formatted my card to fat32 to see if that corrects the problem with random dismounting and denied access to the sd card.

you can't tell, if your card has something wrong just use the warranty.
source is from a local sandisk authorised dealer that I know.

If the card is manufactured on or after December 2012, then it will work perfectly fine. Check on the pack for that. Cheers!!

My Samsung 32GB has been rock solid. But I want to get 64GB and the Sammy card is 100-250 depending on where you go!
I think I'll let the stock run through a bit before picking up a SanDisk 64GB

Been usng a 64gb sandisk for the past two weeks..so far no dismounting or whatever problem..my only problem is that i havent got the thing to fill it up with...LOL..

I got the SanDisk 64GB back in mid-November. No problems whatsoever.

No issues with my 64gb sandisk. Popped it in and did a format and its good to go.
I never had any issues with any sandisk products.

i can confirm that my friends sandisk got messed up pretty bad, ended up only having a total space of 27.4gb in a 64gb sandisk sdxc class 10. but after reformated with sandisks program and it was back to 59gb. not sure why that happens

it's because it was formatted on a non sdxc reader, if you goto the sd association site, it will state it.

[Q] SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC C10/UHS1 Memory Card

Great price on Amazon! Picked up the exact same card last week and am using it in my Nook HD+. I have been running CWM10.1 PureSD on it for a week now without any issues. Has booted up from the card every time so far.

I've got that card in my Nook, no problems so far

Thanks everybody. Got one ordered. I know locally they want much more.

Same here, no issues whatsoever with bookbokan's hybrid install.

I just saw this on Amazon and am so happy to find this thread here! Just purchased. I was needing a bigger card for backups and storage, woohoo.

Forgive my noobness
I just ordered one of these as well. Assuming I use this as a CM bootdisk do I still have the rest of the card as available storage?

I am using this same card to run the CM 10.2 SD card version. Works really well I do still get reboots every so often but performance is good.

If you mean you are installing CM on SD, yes it uses all of the card once installed.

Fat32. Although since about 7/8 exfat is supposed to be supported.

I use the 32gb ultra version as well. Excellent card, no problems. I completely set the card up through my Motorola Bionic since i dont have a microsd reader haha.

Class 10 microsd card

For a nook HD, do class 10 cards work? I've read that class 4 is recommended on the HD+, but what about on the HD?

No, the difference mainly comes when trying to run a ROM off of the SD. It runs slower. But it also sometimes does not work well for use as a boot CWM card. It may refuse to boot. And lastly, it sometimes will give i/o errors when used as a normal SD and may take more than one attempt to read or write. But that is less troublesome than the first two issues.

It's interesting that a class 4 is faster. How exactly does that work out?
I guess I'll be heading to microcenter for their class 4 cards.

It has to do with small file read/write speed, which class 4 does better than class 10. There is a whole thread devoted to this on the Nook Color forum. It still applies to the HD/HD+ too. See here:

Don't get the micro center brand, though, they're not as good - quite bad actually. Get the SanDisk brand. I I had the micro center brand when I first started, and had to return it for the SanDisk. Not sure what the difference is, but it was significantly faster after I made the switch.
Now I'm running on EMMC so it doesn't matter that much. But if you plan on running the ROM on the card, get the SanDisk.

I've actually sent back my hd for hd+ and now have an option of buying a Samsung class 6 shown here: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/115836/shnoop---3-pack-of-16gb-samsung-class-6-microsd-memory-cards
Would that particular SD card be suitable? I actually will be using all 3 of them so the price isn't bad at all for my needs, but I'm not sure how well these class 6 do on random write. My new hd+ does have 32 go of storage so I suppose I should just install to internal but I'd like to have both stock and custom rom available

Thanks for the help. Decided to just give up on stock nook and just install cm to internal and ditch the microsd rom idea. Android really makes it better as a daily driver tab for the family to use.
