system apps and other system files also require space in the phone's internal memory you know...

He's referring to total system RAM, not internal storage. I don't know exactly why, but every ROM I've ever run has said total RAM is 620 even though the phone actually has 768. Someone will have a simple explanation, I'm sure.
It is this way with all devices. The OS sets aside a Ser amount of ram for the OS to use. There is always a diff between total ram, and total available ram that the user has access to. Been that way for ever

So I just seen that the SGS3 supports EXFat and files over 4gb's now. So if you want a really fast SD card, consider formatting from Fat32 over to exfat, and set block size to 16mb or 32mb. I know most if not all my files are 5mb or way over that, so not much space is wasted! I hope that helps someone

Can you format ex fat in the phone itself or has to be pc? I purchased a 64gb sdxc card and will need to do this.

Why on earth would you want a 32 MB block size? Seems like you would end up with a ton of wasted space.

Well for me I have a lot of movies, huge pictures, music over 7mb. I myself use 16mb. But for people that want full speed from exfat will select 32mb.

I don't have the phone or Id let you know. I do have my 32gb c10 ready to go when it gets here though

So would that mean that any files I have under 16mb will in fact take up 16mb of space? Even files that are only a few kb?
Yes. I know it sounds scary, but most small items are stored on the phone sdcard.

WARNING: Samsung's exFAT driver implementation is buggy!
exFAT is not an open standard. It is MS proprietary. Do not expect it to fully work.

I didn't read the whole thread. But from what I saw, only 3 people had a problem. And at first he said he copied 1900 files and had corruption, then he states its a problem over 3000. I don't know if this is user error, or what. But thanks for the warning, Ill keep an eye out....... And if that guy was checking file by file for 1900 songs, that's some serious time, I call BS.

I unloaded my 64gb sd card, put it in the phone and it formatted it to exfat, I copied all my data back to the card and did a restore from mybackup pro, after the restore and reboot I then received a damaged sd card, i'm not sure what's going on, The only 2 options on windows is NTFS and exFat
Performance gain will be nominal. You're talking a phone here, not a database server dealing with heavy iOPS. I have a 64GB Class 10 in mine and performance could not be better. I also had a ***** of a time getting the card to register after I let my PC format it, had to, absolutely had to, let the device format it.
Note: I'm a heavy performance user who goes for maximum battery without overly sacrificing performance. Professionally, I build and configure SAN's for Exchange, SQL and vSphere. I make no claims to being a phone development god (thought about refreshing my skills there but frankly, don't have the time), BUT I'm also VERY good at what I do.

Had the same problem. I had no option but to let the phone format it. Delete the partition in windows and then you can format it. If you find another way though, let me know!
Sorry misread your post, I had the same error and had to let it reformat. Did you unplug it and put it into your PC? Were any corrective scans or anything done?
I removed everything back off the card, formatted it to fat32 and copied everything back to it, put it back in the phone and it's still saying it's damaged. Sucks, it's been in my EVO3D for a week now with no problems.
is the extra juice really worth the possibility of data corruption? Im not trying to be a wise guy, just really been wondering myself.

Well I must say now I'm worried. But I'm still going to test, I copy huge files to and from on a regular basis, if it saves me 3% in time each time, that is still worth it to me in the long run. I have very little patience, and all that time adds up.

seems to be working now, I had 8,000 temp files in a MyBackup Pro Directory, Deleted them and now it's working
So if I were to format my 64gb card to exfat and download movies to my phone using adownloader or atorrent, I wouldn't be able to transfer them to my ps3?

Whats the difference between the two? Cant seem to figure them out. Also, does swapper1 need a partition for swap? or unpartitioned sd card will do. Oh, and will swapper 2 work on a memory card regardless of class? I dont know what class my memory card is
Swapper 2 is better but noone of the 2 work on galaxy y... Use some other swap thing like just search Swap in play store....

Hello today I can across a video on YouTube for I9500 where with a certain kernel and zip one can swap internal mem with External mem only if on stock Rom wonder if such a method exist for I337

From what I gather, it's possible using one of the available kernels for the device, however I'd personally stay away from it. Most of the ROMs your find are better suited to be on the internal memory considering this is how it is designed. What benefits are you looking to gain by swapping them anyway?

Hello everyone
Sorry for my last post. I didn't attach pic in that. Here it is. My model has 8gb space. Apps and files take only 4gb. And alloted space is 4.7gb for this. As a result I get storage space minimum notification constantly. So can anyone tell me where the remaining space is and is it possible to shift some space to storage
Thank you

There is 8gb there, but it's partitioned into about 4gb each. One for the OS and the other for media. So, you'll only be able to utilize 4gb for app storage.
Thanks for the reply. Is there any way to reduce the space alloted to OS?

Even after update the new rom will be alloted in the same space right?

Have you cleaned your app cache? I was getting low and was amazed how much space I gained. You can do it app by app or download something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gannicus.android.cacheclearer
