They do a util that turns your device into a Mass Storage SDCard reader.. much faster than activesync AND you dont have to remove your SD.
THANKS
Can now noumt my the phone as a mass storage device good good. before i buy a use 2 card reader would the speed diff be much different between the cable and reader?
I didn't notice a difference between using my card reader and using the ppc directly with this util.
I copied around 700mb to it and it didn't take too long atall, theres a 21day tril on the website give it a go

I just got myself a 2gb SD card for my JAMin. I want to copy wikipedia file which is 1gb in size, when I drag the file into my storage from my PC it seems to take forever and not actually copy??
also what is the most efficient format method for 2gb sd card? fat 16 32k?
Yes copying via Pocket PC and computer will take long I would advise investing in a USB 2.0 card reader. (Fat32.)
Or you can use your Prophet as a card reader by using CardExport II or a free app called WM5torage 1.53.CAB attached below.
so i downloaded Pocket Quake for my wizard and am copying my pak0.pak file to my SD card. its a 175mb file and i have 1.4 gb free on my card. i tried exploring the device via Activesync and drag n drop the file, but it copes a portion of the file and shows that the device is unplugged!!!!!
i tried putting the miniSD into the SD card adapter and put it in my SD card slot on my laptop and i cant even access it because it keeps telling me that my card is not formatted. i have formatted this card before, but i guess it wont let me access it within windows.
how the heck am i going to get this 175 mb file on my card? this is so frustrating! thanks.
Its a bug with activesync - you have to use a card reader to transfer large files or wm5storage (use storage card as usb storage device). Activesync sucks!
wm5storage download link http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=11800
I noticed when I move any file to the minSD through ActiveSync, it takes FOREVER. A song takes at least one minute to transfer. I dont have a card reader so I havent tried that yet.
im afraid to eject my card, cuz everytime i do, it messes up on me...

i just installed this on phone.. how do i use it?
thx for the program, meschle.
it took me a while to figure it out too, but u go to START, ACCESSORIES, then run the program, ACTIVATE and if you have your wizard plugged into your usb then it should detect as a removable drive.
it worked for a while at first, but now my data on my storage card seems to be corrupted =\ gotta figure this out now.

It might be corrupt becuase u unplug da cable to fast. 100 mb file is big for ur device's processor, wait awhile before you unplug the cable
I was trying to find a faster way to downloading video to my MiniSD card so I used the adapter and stuck it into my SD port on my laptop. The laptop recognized the card as being unformatted and offered to format the card. It was the phone that formatted the card and so I'm wondering how it formatted the card for use. I don't suppose there is a way for my laptop to recognize the card without formatting it? Further, I'm having problems syncing files larger than 300MB into the card. When I tried, active sync would shut down. That was the reason that first got me to try to use the adapter and my laptop.
AFAIK Windows Mobile formats Storage Cards as FAT16. This file system is readable for all Versions of Microsoft Windows.
The fact that your card reader does not recognize the file system makes me believe that it's not fully compatible to your mini SD card. You could try to format the card in your reader. Maybe you're happy and it works after that.
If not, go and get an other card reader.
Active Sync is not the application to use for transferring huge files. It is known to be quite instable. Maybe a more recent version of AS might help, or a direct USB storage driver for your 8125 like 'WM5torage' for example.
Please read http://pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17921 for a complete tutorial on how memory cards should be formatted / optimized.
how can we make our ppc stirage card as flash drive? i need it because everytime i send movies or large files to my ppc it uses much under active sync.
thanks.
Simple. Buy a card reader .
Try WM5 Storage.
I had a bit of trouble finding the Cab myself, so here you go.
Thanks,
Dave
no
not that, i said as a regular flash drive not using card reader. directly inserted to my ppc.
thanks dave
that was nice, now i can transfer files in a speed.
thanks thanks
I installed a new 32gb class 10 sd. It shows up in Astro file manager as being available. However, none of the many APP2SD programs I have tried allow me to move my apps to the card. What am I missing here? Do I need to format the card first and if so, how do I do that?
Apps2Sd will put apps in the "SdCard" directory which in the Iconia is actual internal memory.
You can only use your card for extra storage (like music/videos)

So, where in the file system is the actual SD card?
It's under /mnt/external_sd
the USB is under /mnt/usb_storage
They will not show up with the USB connector cable attached, but can be accessed through ADB on the host computer.
I think you are meant to actually pull the card and put stuff on it then put it back in the tablet.
Not all media players will see the card because of this name change in Honeycomb.

In the "First start information" document that came with my Acer, it states:
Transferring files from a microSD card (optional) to your PC
Remove the card from the tablet and use a card reader or USB adapter to access the card as an external storage device.
