Hi,
Which SD card should I get for this
does it support 64GB? I want it as fast as possible, do I need...
Sandisk Ultra
Sandisk Mobile Ultra
Sandisk Mobile Ultra UHS 1 (ultra high speed)
Class 10
SDHC? SDXC??
I don't know which ones will work ok I would like to store files larger than 4GB on there if possible
Thanks
the 64GB ones work if there formatted to fat32 BEFORE putting them in the TAB, but fat32 stops at the 4GB file size limit, I don't know if these tablets support the needed file structures through SD that are needed to have files over 4GB.
Just did some reading and it looks like a few devices are starting to get exfat support with the newest version of android, which could get us around the 4GB file size limit.

I want to get myself a new SD Card for my Magician:
I will choose between a standard 1 GB SD Card and the SanDisk UltraII SD 1GB
First of all, does it really make the difference if i take the UltraII? How much faster is it anyway? It would cost me almost 50% more.
Secondly, can the Magician even handle the Ultra? Are cards up to 2GB even supported?
Or should I consider a bigger card?
Currently I've got a 256 Sandisk standard....

In general you probably won't see the speed deference between the basic and ultra on a PDA, because of the speed of the interface.
If you use a card reader (using USB 2 interface) then you will see the speed increase.
Personally, I've just bought a Sandisk 1GB Ultra plus card:
http://www.picstop.co.uk/Secure-Digital-(SD)/SanDisk-Ultra-II-(USB)-SD-Plus-Card---1GB
Will have to wait and see how good it is!
Apparently 4GB sd cards are coming soon, which should drop the price of the 1GB cards even further.

If you going with a 2gb card - go with the sandisk ultra... I purchased an A-Data 2gb 150x and it does not work.
SanDisk Ultra are good cards.
does anyone know if the universal will take the new 8 gb sd cards that are coming out. cause i hear that the new 8 gb card will be a different format than the current 4 gig cards. im acheing to buy the 8 gig but dont know if it will accept it at all
"Pretec 8GB SD card is fully compliant with SD 2.0 (SDHC) specification with access speed up to 20MB/sec. The maximum capacity of SD card is 2GB under SD 1.1 of Secure Digital Alliance (SDA) specification; however, by using file format of FAT32, many SD 1.1 host devices can use 4GB SD card which Pretec pioneered since 2005. SD 1.0/1.1 uses traditional “Byte Addressing” scheme which limits the maximum capacity to 4GB while SD 2.0 adopts “Sector Addressing” scheme which is the same with the technique applied by Mu-Card Alliance in 2004 to reach the maximum capacity of 2TB (2048GB). Pretec is one of the major founders and main contribution member of Mu-Card Alliance, who joined force with MMCA in June 2005 (www.mmca.org/press/Mu_Card_Final.pdf). With capacities of 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB, Pretec 8GB SDHC is now available for key customer sampling at unit price $299. Mass production is scheduled by Q4/2006."
I would love to know the answer to this - as I am very highly tempted by an 8GB SD card I've spotted for sale somewhere, my 4GB card is nearly full...

I read around a little throw the internet and was pointed to some Universal reviews and they all tell thet 4GB is possible and 8GB as far as it is available. So I think the chance to get it running is at 80%
Take a look here for info:

SD-HC is a new standard, not compatible with the SD 1.1 standard that maxes out at 2Gb. SD 1.1 is what the Universal uses. The 4Gb cards you are seeing use a 'loophole' in the specifications.
In other words: 4Gb is the maximum you will see for the Universal. And no, this cannot be remedied by a driver update, as the SD controller is embedded into the ARM processor (AFAIK).
Hope this helps...
I am perhaps hours from buying HTC Tytn..and from what I can see maximum size you can buy is 2 gig. Compared to my pocket pc (which had an sd and cf slot), I can put up to 4gig cards in its slot. I am going to really miss having a bigger capacity for extra programs, and memory for files. If they do come out with a larger Micro SD,, lets say eventually 4gig for example, do you think that all it would take to be able to adopt this new size would be to to a ROM upgrade (update) or is it written in stone that the max on this unit is 2 gigs.
Thx for any input, and especially any enlightenement in regards to larger micro sd's that are on the horizon.

AFAIK there is no 2Gig limit and 4 gig would be OK, but lets here from others.

4GB is coming soon.. but will it work?
http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/18/kingmax-busts-out-worlds-first-4gb-microsdhc-card/
Anyone know if that will work on a hermes device?
Is MicroSDhc a different incompatible standard?
I dont think wm device do support sdhc system so we are limited to 2 gb or at maximum 4gb but no sdhc....
i will be more then happy if anyone can prove me wrong...
PS:just a note somewhere i read that the maximum possible capacity for micro sd is 32gb but im not sure is it obtainable with sd 2.0 specification (sdhc) or with standard sd 1.1 specification....??
SDHC cards don't work in normal SD slots, like the Hermes has one. There is hope for non SDHC 4GB MicroSD cards though, because there have been 4GB SD cards and now also 4GB Mini SD cards available, that are non SDHC compliant and work in standard Pocket PCs. So let's hope for non SDHC 4GB MicroSD that will work in our Hermes.

That's where th iphone looks good. Damn... 8Gb !
Does Jade support "Sandisk Mobile Ultra 8 GB Class 6"?
or any brand with Class 6?
Yes. I use the Sandisk 8 GB class 6.
How about '"Sandisk Mobile Ultra 16 GB Class 6"? Anyone have try?
i heard it supports up to 16 GB SanDisk,
but i actually i tried the 4 GB one and it is Excellent
The SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSDHC 8GB, Class 6 (SDSDQY-8192) does not work with my htc touch 3g (german standard rom).
The Transcend microSDHC 8GB, Class 6 (TS8GUSDHC6) works great.
What does "Mobile Ultra" mean?
It's just a model name or something else?

I think it is a Class 6 model..... as I didn't see Class6 in other series of Sandisk. What do you think?
I mean this model:

I use ultra mobile 8GB class 6 Sandisk. Work perfectly fine.
Best result is actually 4GB or less. This is because the reading speed will be faster with a smaller capacity, esp when accessing MP4 video.
Writing speed will only be useful when u transfer file straight from PC.

I'm going to buy 1 of 8Gb., if u say smaller size will better speed, how about devide it to 2 partition? we'll getting better speed than 1 partition of 8gb. ?
For that, I have no idea how to do that.
I even thought of defrag the content within SD card but was advised by the technical support that it will shorten the lifespan, and speed difference is very small. I did use 1GB card and it is way faster in say kick start a WMA file (about 9MB for one of them) or a mp4 video file at about 15MB.
You may wish to contact Vector Magnetics P/L, technical support on SD card.
Call Tel: 6338 0129 and ask for Rank. He might able to help you on card issue.
Hope the above helps
Can tab 7.7 support 64gb sdcard? When i see the spec on web, it says upto 32gb, that confused me
Sent from my GT-P6800 using Tapatalk
Yes, a 64 GB MicroSDXC card works fine.
I bought this card at Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Mobil...WIA2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1329538822&sr=8-2
and it works great with the 7.7 tab.
I can even format it to NTFS format and transfer 6 - 8 GB movie file to the 64 GB card and watch it perfectly on the 7.7 tab.
But I think the c/p value isn't worth of it.
2 times storage room than 32g sd card,but price is 4 times of it...
Micro SD sucks. Sammy could have put in a regular sized SD card, it is a tab there is plenty of room. *128 GB* SD cards are cheaper than the skimpy 64 gb micro SD cards.
Yep, works as mentioned above.
Sure you could have two 32GB cards, but myself I'd rather not have to swap them out all the time.
