I think it is ridiculous to have the Xoom only be compatible with only Micro-SD card instead of regular SD card. It is not like the tab is so small that the regular SD card would not fit. It is NOT a phone.
Regular SD card has the benefit of:
1. Much much cheaper for a bigger space.
2. Did I say it is cheaper for a bigger space...?
3. Faster speed
I am not sure if it will use more energy and decrease battery life. But even still, how much more energy can it actually drain compared to the micro-SD card.
Sometimes I have no idea what the designers/engineers are thinking when they develop technology. There is always a missing screw somewhere.
Wow...I am finish ranting...
What a relief.....
Erm, internal space?

What you forget is that by sticking with MicroSD it's more compatible with other devices. If you want to put that same card into your phone or any other mobile device, you have greater compatibility with MicroSD. If you want to put it in a regular SD card device, you can do so with an adapter, but you wouldn't have that same versatility/compatibility with a regular SD card as you would with MicroSD.

Maybe you can find some space behind the back cover to put one of these in? Might be worth a shot..

While I agree that MicroSD is more compatible with other devices, I would imagine a normal SD card would give the Xoom a more competitive advantage over the iPads in terms of the amount of overall storage that they can use. There are already 64GB SD cards, while I believe the max for a MicroSD is still 32GB. (Correct me if I am wrong.)

You're wrong MicroSD has support for SDXC however, most devices are not SDXC compatible. Just as you will find that most SD card readers are not SDXC compatible.

But if the Xoom had a SD slot instead of MicroSD you could just use that same MicroSD card with the adapter in the Xoom.
If you're gonne be swapping out a card from the Xoom to a phone, you might as well be using the SD slot to store the MicroSD to SD adapter.
It would cost Moto pennies to include the adapter in that slot, but still allow people to just dump it and use a regular SD card in there if they want to
In my opinion, its all about having options. (Thats why we like android after all) An SD card slot would give us options, to use a MicroSD in there with an adapter, or to use a regular SD if we'd rather do that. The MicroSD slot doesn't give us the same option in reverse.
Its really not a big deal to me, but thats just what the case in favor of it would be.

Uh, in the situations you described, an SD card slot would be a MUCH better choice. Having an SD card slot would give you the OPTION to use an SD card, and the OPTION to use an SD to microSD converter and use a microsd card. So if you were concerned with sharing media between phone and tablet, you would just need that little SD to microsd converter.
Edit: I see now that this point has been made multiple times.

I wish it had an SD card primarily for viewing pictures from digital cameras.
I do not want to put a microSD card and an adapter into my DSLR, and as many have mentioned, the larger storages and faster read/write speeds are cheaper for an SD card versus the same capacity microSD counterpart.
SD card would have made so much more sense. Hell, I don't even care if Motorola included an adapter, who the **** here has more than one microSD card and zero adapters? I think I have like 2 adapters, maybe even 3.
Micro SD jus the universal mobile standard

Sorry man I don't really see it as a problem unless you have a camera with a regular SD card slot. If this is the case buy a MicroSD with the adapter thats what I do. If I buy any new cards I get Micro and make sure it comes with the adapter. That way I am #winning. The cards are so cheap anyway. Who would have thought you could buy and 8gb card for less then 20 bucks?

I understand the cost factor. When you get into the larger capacities the prices between a 32gb card doubles for a Micro SD. Its just another way for the man to stick it too ya.
I'm glad it's microsd, the xoom is thick enough as is imo

Honestly guys? You make think the tablet has "plenty of space", but if you've ever done product design or circuit board layout, you'll find that anything smaller makes a big difference. I used to think the change to MicroUSB from MiniUSB was lame, but I've laid out some circuit boards with both connectors, and *MAN* are Mini USB connectors huge!
I felt the same way about the change from SD, to Mini SD, to MicroSD, but honestly, regular SD is huge.
They did it because of size guys, thats all there is to it.
If you want to connect your camera, the Xoom supports USB hosting so you can just plug it right in (Does it work with cameras? I don't have my Xoom yet, but I thought they said it does or will support this), or just use a MicroSD card in your camera. 8GB cards are like $15, and do you really need that much space in your camera? I'm a photographer (well, its a hobby) with a Canon 40D and I only carry like 6 gigs of cards on me (a 4 and a backup 2).
If you never take the pictures off your camera I could see it being an issue, but I never do that for fear of losing them if I lose the camera or the memory fails.
Anyway, none of that matters. They did it because of size. It really does make that big of a difference.
I'm running deeperblue's honeycomb off an 8gb sd card on my Nook Color. Everything runs extremely slow, even things as simple as checking email, accessing the web, etc.

Try a different SD card. Cheaper cards are generally better for running a rom because they have a faster small block read/write speed. More expensive cards are better in nearly every other aspect then what you're trying to do. I run HC (Madcat's Hybird) of a class 2 4GB Sandisk card (about $15 at Wal Mart) and it runs great. My wife's running CM7 off an identical card. Both are perfect.
I'm running HC off a PNY 8GB class 4 card, which was $24 from Best Buy. Maybe I should try to format the card and start over? Should I install CM7 on the card as well? Not sure of the process to follow - can you provide a link?
I'll bet you need a different MicroSD card to solve your performance issue, as hockeyfamily737 mentioned above.
See this thread: SD Strange-results - or - How I learned to love CM7 on SD
to find out why.
This software : Crystal Disk Mark is what we are using to test card speed.
Office Max is having a sale on SanDisk class 2/4 MicroSD cards, 8 gig size, for 12.99 a piece until saturday, might want to see if there's one around you.
Having been in the situation you are in, the MicroSD card used makes a significant difference.
Also, try downloading the app "SD Speed Increase" by Diego Stamigni. Setting the cache size to 2048kb can dramatically improve performance on the card you are using now. It's one of my must-have apps for running android from the SD card on the Nook.
Edited to add:
I used to run the same honeycomb version you are, but I swapped over to Dualboot Phiremod / Honeycomb Image. I run it from the sdcard, and the phiremod version of cm7 is my new daily-driver. It's a great image, you might want to check it out.
also honeycomb isnt fully reeased for AOSP so the nook version is just a port of the SDK, also maybe try a class 6 sd card? you can get a class 6 8gig for like $18 of amazon, i use a class 6 and its very fast
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.
It seem that are still people that cannot get this to work. Most people actually stuck at creating a card w/ CWM.
I have this done relatively painless. I think most people forgot that the Nook itself is pretty much a linux machine. And with busybox, you can do dd command as well.
NOTE: this will simply wipe all your information the the microSD card.
Well you have to download both the cm-10-***.zip and sdcard-cwm-early3.img.gz files from verygreen.
Then I use 7zip to uncompress cwm file.
adb push sdcard-cwm-early3.img /data/su/
Go into the nook's System Settings > Storage Management > SD Card > Unmount SD Card.
adb shell su -c "/data/su/busybox dd if=/data/su/sdcard-cwm-early3.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1"
remove the img file from the Nook if you wish using adb shell rm /data/su/sdcard-cwm-early3.img
**Now just wait, as this may take sometime as it write 100M+ to the sdcard. It will say something when it's done.
After that, you follow the verygreen step. What was posted above is for people who have problem creating cwm boot sd card.
Also notice that since you reboot into CWM, the current Nook ADB driver won't work, the system will recognize as a different device, you have to re-apply the driver again.
verygreen said:
Insert the card into the Nook and reboot the nook, CWM should start.
(This will also automatically repartition the card into a correct layout no matter the size (but no smaller than 4G).
In the CWM:
Go to "mounts and storage", choose "mount /sdcard".
Press power button to go back to the main menu.
Now do
Code:
adb push cm-10-XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-ovation.zip /sdcard
Also push whatever other zip files you want to install to /sdcard too.
(if you don't have operational adb, you can also just turn off the nook at this stage, put zip files to volume named "CM10SDCARD" (not "boot"), then put sdcard back into nook and start it again)
Next, choose "install zip from sdcard", and then "Choose zip from sdcard" and first cm-...zip, and then whatever other packages you have the need to install.
When done installing, press the power button to go one level up in the menu and then choose reboot.
This will reboot you into CM10.
If you ever need to get back to CWM later, use either "reboot to recovery" power menu, or reboot, and once B&N nook logo shows up, press and hold power and home keys together for about 4 seconds.
To reboot into stock nook software, just poweroff, remove sdcard, then poweron.

The real purpose of this post is to spread the information of which card work and which doesn't. I hope people can report in which card(s) work for you.
I personally have tried the Lexar 32GB Class 10 card and it works w/o any problem or show any lag at all.
If I can, when people post a working card, then I'll add it to the list.
Working microSD card list:
Lexar 32GB class10
Sandisk Mobile Ultra 32GB class 10 (reported by bunodosoma)
Sandisk Extreme Pro 16GB class 10 (reported by Chi Ahrens)
GSkill 8GB class 4 (reported by Chi Ahrens)
PNY 16GB class 4 (reported by Chi Ahrens)
I used verygreen's instructions to push CM10 on a Sandisk Mobile Ultra Class 10 32gb w/o too much trouble (CWM didn't recognize 1st CM10 push,2nd went w/o a hitch). Haven't noticed any lagging yet.
SanDisk Extreme Pro 16 GB class 10 ($50) works without lag. Couple of lock ups in HD+ within 2 hour period. Constant lock ups on HD. Maybe a bad card.
SanDisk Ultra 16 GB class 10 ($16) works without lag. Stable for 5-6 days on HD+ now. No noticeable difference in speed between the Ultra and Extreme Pro.
GSkill 32GB class 10 works without lag. Sequential speed is slow, but random 4k seems descent enough where there isn't any lag. Stable for 2 days on HD.
GSkill 8GB class 4 works with lag.
PNY 16GB class 4 works with lag.
AData 32GB class 10 - somehow became unusable during the process. Garbage.
Also, in Ubuntu 12.10, adb connects to HD+ only when started as root. Otherwise you get ???????????? no permissions. Ironically, adb can see the HD even when it's not started as root.

When do you see the lag ? Which specific operation ?
I did a boot time test using two different cards. Here are the results.
Start clock: When I press the power on
Stop clock: When I heard sound coming out from HD+
Sandisk: 53 seconds.
Samsung: 61 seconds.
I am not sure the performance advantage is mainly caused by 4K write performance on Sandisk card or the larger size(32GB vs 8GB) of the card.
Here are my two cards with CrystalDiskMark data, only tested 100MB data because Windows only see 109MB after CM10 is installed on the cards.

Plus it is formatted in ext_FAT, which allows use of the full 64GB and allows files larger than 2GB.

Yes, it see full 64GB. I have one on it as well, but I didn't try CM10 on that card.
The lag with the non-SanDisk class 10 cards is mostly felt in the browser - both the default and Dolphin. Lag in rendering html, scrolling, and also clicking links.
The SanDisk Ultra has been pretty solid however. I tried the San Disk extreme pro again to load CM10 on the HD, and it also experience random lock ups and reboots. I'm going to send that back and get another SanDisk Ultra for my HD.
The 2.0.5 update unrooted my HD, but Google Play still works without a problem. I just don't have su in the console. No big deal until I need root again. I did manage to get Chrome off of the CM10 and sideload it without a problem in 2.0.5.
My wife's HD+ has been running very happily with CM10. She's not quite as excited as I am.

The nook should support exFAT out of the box, that's not the issue. The issue is that XP doesn't support either exFAT or MTP. The stock OS use MTP when connect to the PC, so you lose either way.

Importance of 4k write speeds?
Hello, now that I've sorted out the problems with my class 10 16 gigs Sandisk card I decided that I'd better moving my setup there but since the move is quite a trouble I would like to know whether it would be worthwhile.
In other words whether the speed difference (between the two cards) is important enough (according to your experience) to every day tasks.
Here are the benchs from the card I'm currently on: http://i.imgur.com/sFVbu.png (~1Mb/s 4k writes)
And here are the ones of the one I'm thinking to move to: http://i.imgur.com/X5voM.png (~2Mb/s 4k writes)
....also if it's not to make enough of a difference (since my class 4 is already fast enough) I could/would opt to use my class 10 card as an external usb device instead (to use its fast sequential writes). So what would you recommend?
Thanks.
OBB data on SD card
I'm using 32GB sd card on 16GB Nvidia Shield..
There is option to move apps and games to sd card.. The OBB data won't support only the application apk are moved actually to sd card... I know this issue is seen from kitkat when Google blocked app to use to sd card.. But in lollipop it was reverted.. So now is it application developer that they are not using sd card or its the OS limitation?
Because games OBB data take all the inbuilt storage... Any solutions for this?
Was this fixed in the 1.2 firmware? They specifically state something about the apps moving to sdcard.
tested this the other day after the update. I installed a 2.6gb game and moved it to a 64gb micro sd. It moved the entire game. i have 2.6gb on the sd card and no storage missing from my system. Nvidia is killing it with this system!!!

Yes they are, I am not used to such support.
After the update I noticed all of games on sdcard did not show up for about 5 minutes. I wonder if it moved everything over for me or if I have to remove and reinstall each game?

Looking at the pictures on the nVidia slides, do you know if it's possible to open up the casing and install a 2.5" drive yourself ? I might have an old 2.5" drive somewhere. Looks like a drive bay with a regular SATA connector, like the PS3 or PS4.

I believe I read the non-Pro version does not have the connector available. There IS a spot for a surface mount connection, but that would take some semi-experienced soldering.
I'm interested to know what the people who went for the HD model are storing on there? I stream all my media so a 64gb Micro sd would probably be more than sufficient for apps and android games. If the markup to the HD model was $50 it would be a no brainier, but $100 is a bit steep. I'm guessing we might see a price drop in upcoming months. The device is definitely to my "to get" list, im UK based so will import via amazon

I don't know if the Shield tablet is the same but even though I use Foldermount to move game data to external SD, I ended up maxing out my internal storage since it still keeps some of the app internally along with my other apps. If the move to sd option on the shield TV does the same, then eventually you will run out of internal memory. But from what I'm reading here, it moves everything, so you might be ok. The problem with my shield tablet is since I'm out of internal memory I cannot update any of my games and large apps unless I make more room.. So I decided to go with the 500gb with the shield TV so I don't run into any issues later. I'm also going to download movies so I need more room.
I believe it does more the whole app now buddy. I do understand the need for local storage if you'r storing films and other media on there. Its just for my use case I have a NAS device plugged into my wireless router and just stream everything from there. Getting a NAS was the best purchase I ever made and I would recommend it to anyone. I think it was like $100 and them I just dropped a 4tb drive in there. Instant network share and streaming for all the devices in the home.
I got the 500gb. After owning the Shield Portable and then the Shield Tablet. I did not want to got through the lack of storage again. I did not like moving apps to the sd card since it is much slower storage. Also I used my refund from the Beats Pill XL recall so it was an easy choice of which Shield version to get.
I for one don't like the idea of the OS running off the hd of the 500gb model so I bought me a high performing micro sd. This one has read/write speeds up to 90mb/s.
I have yet to test its performance off of the Shield console but I've read these cards perform around the max speeds on the Shield tablet.

I bought the lexar 128gb rated at 95mb/s for my note 4, and using A1 Sd benchmark I only get 46mb read / 17mb write. I will side load that app to my console and see how the card does compared to the 500gb drive.

You have to be careful when looking at these micro SD cards and their write speeds. A lot of them just say "up to 90MB/s", but never specify if that is read or write speeds until you dig through the tech details. I also came across the Lexar first, but noticed that the write speeds were very low, which actually seems to be the norm for most 128GB cards at the moment.
The only two I would recommend is the above Sandisk Extreme Pro 64GB, or the Samsung 64GB Pro. I actually just bought the Samsung tonight as a used Amazon warehouse deal for $36, still facotry sealed.
Only card I recommend anyone buy these days are the Samsung Evo cards. I have had zero issues with them. Plenty fast. I record 4K straight to the card all of the time without any glitches.
I'm actually running an older sandisk extreme 64gb in my shield right now because I had it living around. Had problems in my LG g3 with it but it is working flawless in my shield... Go figure.
I'm also running all of my video and emulated roms off of a 64gb usb 2.0 stick from sandisk. Works great
