SanDisk 64GB SDXC

Hey guys
I received a 64gb class 10 sandisk from amazon today, and when I first plugged it into the supplied reader my mac book pro gave lots of errors
Now the note 2 says either a corrupted or blank card has been inserted and most of the windows apps I've tried always fail to format!
Is there anything else I can try?

All you have to do is use disk utility on your mac and format it to fat32. Itll work after that. Very common.

Format it to exfat should be better for sdxc 64gb card. Since Note 2 and S3 offically support 64gb sdxc exfat should work right out of the box.

With mine it wouldnt even acknowledge that it was in the phone... again, common issue. Just formt it with disk utility. If you are using windows, google "fat32 format gui windows" and theres a program that works very well and is super easy.

Use 4ext to format it, if that doesn't work return it as faulty.

If you try to format it on your computer, I believe it will only do up to 32GB. I tried this once on a 120GB external hard drive, and the computer wouldn't do it until I partitioned it and made a 32GB partition.

Sounds like a dud man, either an imitation that just doesn't work or a legitimate SanDisk which is simply a dud. Exchange it and have your peace of mind, also test its read/write speeds and verify they match the typical Class 10 speeds, they should hover around ~10MB/s write, ~20MB/s read. If that isn't the case, it's fake; return it and buy it from a different vendor.

[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.

Nope if it supports SDXC it'll take up to 2TB (When they're released)
In fact most things with SDHC support will take SDXC cards if they're formatted FAT32.

While you are in the future can you grab a flux capacitor? Been needing to pick that up :laugh:

But 64GB Micro SDXC cards have been out for at least a year now...

The only reason they say up to 64gb is because 128 were not available during the time the phone came out. They do work have one in my phone right now. Just wish I could put some of my apps on it.

"The Secure Digital eXtended Capacity (SDXC) format supports cards up to 2 TB (2048 GB), compared to a limit of 32 GB for SDHC cards in the SD 2.0 specification."
The next iterations of cards we will see will be 128, 256, 512 and then 1tb and 2tb. Seems farfetched with the sizes but about 10 years ago I purchased a 128MB (yes megabyte) card for $80 at walmart for my Compaq Ipaq.

Been keeping my eye out for the new 128gbs also. Samsung is known to be working on them but I haven't seen much more than that.

64GB SDXC works even with Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note. 128GB will work too.

That's pretty cool but will kill battery fast.

Yes it would, so get a solid state (pricey but may work).

That's not true by any means, I have owned many SanDisk products none have which failed. And to be honest the Samsung micro SD's are the ones that have failed more compared SanDisk.

it's true - amazon reviews recommended. also write speed on sandisks is painful-slow for 64gb card (10MB/s), where samsung is 20MB/s - still sucks but twice as fast

Maybe in the phone it might be slow but a micro SD card is not just meant for phone it can go into other things. When I use it in the PC through the adapter I get class 10 speeds if not faster.
Plus I'm not all about the fastest speed I'm more about reliability same thing when it comes to my SSD in my computer.

No joke. I have had 3 32gb class 10 microsd from Sandisk fail in under 1 year. 2 in my Note 2 & 1 just the other day in my Note 10.1 I think there is a known issue with Samsung Galaxy phones & Sandisk cards. Seems mainly like the 32gb ones, but 3 in under a year is seriously redonkulous. I actually had the csr admit there was an issue, & they issued an rma. Supposedly the newer batches of cards are fixed.
Running a 64gb Samsung class 10 & haven't had any problems in almost 6 months.

I guess I just have super magic lucky powers. Then again after getting an eBay dud I learned my lesson.
I think a lot of people buy cheap ebay crap and blame Sandisk.

Sounds like you were lucky enough to get 3 cards from the bad batch that was mentioned 2 or 3 years ago. I haven't read any legitimate articles on a specific incompatibility between Samsung and SanDisk, but rather SanDisk letting a bad batch get cut loose into the wild and now they're fighting mis-information years later.
Sorta like Hitachi fighting their infamous "DeathStar" hard drives or Toyota combating rumors that all of their cars have brake issues.

I have 2 64gb sd cards. Both bought on ebay. One SanDisk and another a generic brand. Sad to say my generic brand lasted longer than my SanDisk and still running strong in my Note 2. Both were class 10. Generic one cost me $20 free shipping and SanDisk was $70.

I think the numerous reports of scandisc failures are enough to keep me away, as I haven't seen anything official about a "bad batch" a year ago. There seems to be a lot of speculation on the why, but one thing is clear they are failing all over the place. Best buy something else.

I had a few different micro cards but in my experience SanDisk hqs worked the best. Been having for several months a SanDisk 64gb class 10 and working great.before I had a Kingston 32gb and failed and before dad I had a 16gb SanDisk from the hd2 days and still have it working good. So I guess my best bet has been SanDisk.

I'm chiming in based on my first hand experience. For the record, I find Sandisk memory substandard. The company fails to stand by its product by deliberately being difficult. If you like playing russian roulette with your data, go ahead. Sooner or later your number will come up! To be fair, this can happen to any storage media manufacturer. But for some reason it seems to be more prevalent with sandik. I've read nothing but great reviews with Samsung memory but I guess that's to be expected.
Currently testing and using a class10 32GB microsd semi-no name brand "A-Data". So far, I'm impressed as one of the best value for the buck. I have a small batch of adata cards and when it passes all my durability tests I will deploy them throughout all my devices.

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?
