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.

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.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
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.

Here's thread about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730285
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.

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.

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

it's because it was formatted on a non sdxc reader, if you goto the sd association site, it will state it.
Was wondering if this card like this will work in my Nook HD before I order one. Seems to be a pretty good price I think.

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.

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?

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

The specs on the website say that the HD+ supports cards up to 32 GB, but occasionally I have seen posts that infer people are using 64 GB cards. Can anyone confirm that the HD+ will read a 64 GB micro sdxc?
