Moto x Style(pure) Maximum external storage question. - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I currently am debating on getting a high capacity micro SD card for my moto. I was wondering what the maximum capacity is, I know they sell up to 512 GB micro SD cards but am wondering if the phone would even support it. If not what is the maximum capacity? Thanks!!

I think the max capacity supported is 128 GB.

I just want to see if anyone has tested larger cards and had success. I appreciate the reply

I am using a 200GB Sandisk card with no issues.

I too have a 200GB Sandisk and it works fine.

No way!! That's awesome! Thanks for the reply. anyone have any luck with the 512 or another nock off brand 512?

I don't believe that anybody has more than a 200GB card running in their phone for two reasons.
Firstly, there is some kind of filesystem or standards issue which is limiting the cards to 200GB of addressable space. I'm sure Wiki has more info. Secondly, the only mention of a 512GB MicroSD is this (http://www.cnet.com/au/news/microdia-will-sell-a-1000-ish-512gb-microsd-come-july/), which as it turns out, is nowhere to be found, 9 months later.
Having said that, 200GB for $70-something USD is incredible bang for buck. Add to that 32GB or 64GB of onboard storage and that should cover everybody.

200GB is the max supported size so buying larger is a waste.

I'm using Sandisk's 200GB SD card as well.
No issues whatsoever.
I have it set up as portable storage though.
No interested in that other mode added with MM.

Micro Sd questions regarding capacity

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.

Micro SD card slot means no need for 32gb model?

So I'm wondering if there is a micro SD card slot then do you really need to buy the 32gb version? It appears that the current math among tablet manufacturer's is $100 for 16gb of memory which is obviously a joke. So if i buy the 16gb version and then buy a 16gb sd card ($25) do I effectively come out with the same thing for $75 cheaper?
Depends how you use it. I think it will behave like the Samsung Galaxy S in that the built in memory will appear as a different location to the external memory. Files cannot span both locations and thus your file may not fit even though the total combined free space you have left is larger than the file you are trying to copy.
well if thats the case then in general it will work just fine. Chances arent very good that i'm going to have some massive file on there.
Internal memory is probably faster than 25$ microSD card.
You could spend $90 on a Class 10 32GB card and be looking pretty good.
there you go, 32 gb for the price they are offering 16gigs. sounds good to me. not only that but you can spread that cost. Drop the $499 now, wait a couple months and get the micro sd later. thanks for the info

On my galaxy s, my class 4 micro sd card is as quick is the internal memory. I'm sure the tab will allow quicker speeds but it's worth noting that a class 4 card is sufficiently fast enough to play back 1080p without problems. If you want to save time transferring files between tablet and pc then fair enough but I would personally save money and get a class 4 and make a cup of tea while it copies
Just but the 16GB, as long as it has a micro SD slot you won't need anymore than that.
Thats pretty much what it mean, the question now is whether it will actually have an SD card slot, I have read conflicting reports that it does and does not have one.

I think the conflicting reports are due to two different versions of the Tab 10.1. The version shown during the MWC does not appear to have a MicroSD card slot. The newer version shown at CTIA does have a MicroSD card slot. Most reviews are consistent with this but a few have gotten it wrong which has probably led to the confusion.
There's a number of differences between the versions but the easy to identify differences are thickness and MP of the rear camera. The first version (MWC) is 10.9mm thick and has an 8MP rear camera. The newer version (CTIA) is 8.6mm thick and has a 3MP rear camera.

Yeah i figure thats about what happened. Hopefully we will see some detailed(confirmed) specs soon so we can know what is really driving this thing. Also, perhaps finally review the optional UI question.
Dear Samsung,
Y U NO INFORM EXCITED PUBLIC OF FINAL SPECS!
Actually, what I want is 64GB internal memory model, with or without microSD card
I prefer without, if the space can be used to a little bit more battery and/or reduce the weight!.
I am now getting used to Nexus S, the one without microSD card. To my surprise, I can live with it, comfortably
true, you probably can live without an SD card. But the reason most people will probably get a 16gb plus a 32gb SD is because its cheaper (even with the extra 32gb SD card purchase) then paying an extra $100 for a mere 16GB
I actually have a 16gb class 4 sitting around collecting dust. I'll just stick it in 16gb model

I wouldn't have thought removing a MicroSD card slot would save much space or weight. A MicroSD card is tiny as too the housing for the slot.
For me, the want of a MicroSD card slot is not for expanding storage space cheaply but more for being able to transfer files to/from MicroSD easily. There's many situations when I would want to do this with a MicroSD card from my other devices or it is a MicroSD card from someone else I am with. In those situations, it's sometimes easier than faffing around with cables, bluetooth or Wifi. So the slot just gives another option.
That's true. Having microSD is handy. Especially if you want to transfer a lot of files or big files.
But, my point is that no-microSD will not stop me buying a tablet
After I owned Nexus S, I don't think it is important anymore as long as the internal storage is big enough.
Again, this is my own preference

The one released in Aust. last week is a 16GB no SD slot model. I haven't seen a confirmation of the one that has the SD slot but have heard rumours that it will be thinner and up to 32GB.
I thought the internal memory was available to both system & data doesn't this mean that the internal memory would be an ext flavour rather than a FAT?
I see your point and I have to agree that it does seem a bit cheaper just to get the 16gb model and buy a 16gb sd card unless u plan on being a data/movie packrat on ur Tab in which case you will want to get the 32gb model as well as a 32gb sd card.
I want the highest storage available period!
I don't care if it cost more. I would rather get a 32 GB and have another 32 GB of SD card storage.
I wish that there is a 64 GB version with SD card slot so that I can have 32 GB SD card to make the total of 96 GB.
I can never have enough space because I have so many HD movies that I want to store in my tablet.

SD Card Slot speeds

With black friday coming up, I'm looking for a large micro SD card. My main debate is through speed. I want the 128GB Sandisk microSD card, but it's capped to 30MB/s sequential reads, while the 64GB extreme goes up to 80MB/s. Can the tablet take advantage of those higher speeds? I want as little a difference between the internal memory and the external memory as possible. My only concern is 64GB may not be enough, as I download a metric ton of games, and I'm blowing through the internal memory. Basically, I'm asking for buying advice, and this is all very specific to the shield tablet. I have no other intended uses for the SD card.
I have a Samsung 64gb PRO up to 90mb/s and this is the result
Is that what the shield tablet is actually able to write at? If so, then it's worth it for the increased data loading in my games. That's my main concern. Also, how efficient is app2SD type transferring? I want to know if my SD card will be used effectively, or if I will still end up running out of storage space.

There's a new version of the 128gb that rated 48mb/s. But if you want faster card you can only get them in 64gb. Like the Samsung pro at 90mb/s.

I see. But I think even at 48mp/s, it's not gonna be the same as internal. If you want something close then the Samsung Pro 64gb with 90mb/s is your best bet. But you are only going to match the read speed. The internal memory's write speed is still faster by 2x. But I really doubt you're going to care about that much if you're just transferring 1-2gb of data to the sdcard. And I'm assuming these are game data? Once those are transferred, it's pretty much done with. Even with my 64gb card now with 11.73 mb/s write speed is plenty fast when I move files to the card. If there are game saves that needs to write to the card, they are gonna be small data. I have about 20 game data on the SD card using Folder Mount and I don't find any issue launching them. The only one that I noticed takes longer is Half Life.
Yeah that definitely sounds good. Faster the better. I want a seamless experience.
Does anyone have experience with PNY sd cards? I saw one for $110 that's a 128GB card with 40MB/s sequential read speeds. How would the card perform, ans would it be enough?
Personally I don't think the extra speed will make that big of a difference. Those benchmarks provide controlled and consistent circumstances which are not realistic. Almost nothing you do on the tablet in normal use will push the read speeds. Tbh write speeds could be more important, as they are typically much slower then write speeds. I'm not saying read speed doesn't matter, but that there is certainly a diminishing return on speeds.

Currently that's the fastest 128 GB card I've found, but you're going to pay for it out the nose. I'd vote to wait a bit and see if you can swing it with at 64 GB UHS card first, like the Samsung Pro series. The faster the card the more seamless the experience will be, and even though use will not mimic the benchmark situation it's still going to take less time to write and read to a very fast card in daily use so it will make a difference for sure.

What about if I simply want to use it to load up and watch videos? No gaming nothing else. Is a SanDisk 128GB microSDXC @ 30MB good enough for that? Like say, this one?

Thanks for your help guys. Ended up buying a Sandisk UHS-3 64GB card for $100. So far so good. Although android's sd card support for apps is SO BAD.

Xperia z3c max sdxc size

I was having a conversation with a friend who claims that most phones made in the last 2 years can take a sdxc card up to 2tb and the 128gb limit mentioned is null. I saw some new phones listed as 200gb max instead of the 128, but would they take up to 2tb I wonder. What do you guys think about this
i think it can be capable of having 128gbs without problems, no more, but lets wait until someone confirms it having a sony running more than 128gigs

If you use SD Cards above 64Gb, Zen/vr/tripndroid are the best choices since they work well with High-Speed Cards. Also At 64 GB if you are using a UHS-3 Card you can set the Read Ahead Cache to around 4096Kb but if not 2048Kb is fine as well... I don't really recommend 200GB Cards since they strain the system, theres probably a reason why the Z3C is only advertised to handle 128GB Cards

What? The Linux kernel has no problem handling exabyte block devices. SDXC can handle up to 2 TiB. What part of the system is being strained, and how so? I don't see any reason that any device supporting SDXC would struggle with anything up to 2 TiB.

Oh? My apologies...I was just wondering why they won't advertise it as up to 2TB on the specifications sheet. And personally even if there was a 2tb sdxc it would be too expensive and I'd rather buy a portable hdd or something
My old Xperia Play officialy supports only 32GB, however 128GB SD card worked well in it. So I don't think, there is some real limit, but I didn't see larger SD card than 512 GB.

No worries, I just wasn't sure if you knew something I didn't. I wouldn't put too much faith in their marketing team. They probably just found the biggest card they thought existed and made sure it worked. Either that or they were afraid "2" would look smaller than a competitor's listing that says "128" to people who have no idea what "GB" or "TB" mean.
I would love to have a 2 TB sd card. That wouldn't come close to holding my entire movie collection, but at least I would be able to fit my entire music collection plus a bunch of movies. I can't even fit half my music on a 200 GB card. Having all my music on my phone would be amazing. I expect 2 TB cards will be around in about five years. It will become affordable just like 200 GB has.
good advices
thanks

I was thinking the same. Even though it's obvious, it isn't obvious to everyone (actually, there is only a small minority of the android-users who even know that android uses a linux kernel, even fewer knows what it is).
The system COULD be put under strain though, if you format the micro SD-card in to NTFS. I have an i7 4710MQ laptop. If I write more than 1GB of data on a NTFS-formatted partition the fans run at full strength. Though, I don't see why anyone would use NTFS. Maybe it is formatted as exFAT and there is some strain because of that? FAT32/VFAT has a limit of 8TB, so I don't see why someone would prefer exFAT.

Yeah NTFS and Linux don't work great together. The problem with FAT32 is the 4 GiB file size limit which can be a frustrating hindrance since > 4 GiB files are quite common these days. exFAT supports much larger files. Personally I use ext4 on all of my storage. I think it is the best choice if you are predominantly mounting it in Linux.
I use a 200Gb sandisk.

Xt1572 auto ejecting u3 SD card

I recently bought a Kingston micro SD card 32gb u3 with 90 read 80 write speed. After full formatting on pc and then formatting it with the phone as external storage It works fine for up to 20~30 minutes max before auto ejecting it self. The is no notification or anything from the phone. If I go to storage setting it just simply has vanished from the list. Once I tried transferring a 4gb file to the SD card to see if it will have any issue and halfway through the process the transfer meter stopped followed by a notification saying it is not recommended ejecting the SD card at this time and then completely ejecting it once more. I'm running full stock on September security patch. Any ideas? I returned it to the reseller and ordered a similar one incase this was faulty.

Kingston cards are not the most reputable, but this issue sounds more phone related then a defective card... Try an old school fix, but a layer or two of scotch tape on the back side of the card, slightly increasing the thickness of the card, might maintain contact better.

The thing is first I noticed upon inserting the SD card that it was slightly thicker than the casing so it required a little bit more force. I don't think though it's a thickness problem because a class 10 verbatim u1 card and a class 6 I use now didn't have any problem whatsoever. The new class 6 is an 8gb kingston and when inserted in the space it was moving around a bit, but after inserting it in the phone no problem. Is a SanDisk card recommended as an alternative?

I have a 2 year old 64GB EVO (non-plus) in my MXPE, works beautifully... My Moto G3 has a 32 EVO+, and my son's Axon 7 has a SanDisk Extreme something (black with red lettering) that is a couple years old as well. All of them work fine.
When people ask me what to get, I recommend the EVO+ for a budget card, or Samsung Pro+ for higher-end applications.

The thing is is the SD on your mxpe u3? I'm looking forward to shoot some 4k videos and I want a SD card that can handle it. Im thinking it might be compatibility issue even though I read it supports u3

The reader in the MXPE is UHS-I, cards are rated in speed class (Class 10, U1, U3) and reader's SD bus speeds are UHS (UHS-I or UHS-II). I have never seen a benchmark for the card reader that is reliable but 70MB/s sustained writes with a proper card are regularly seen. UHS-I is limited to about 90MB/s write speed provided the card can handle it. But really 4K uncompress video only requires about 30MB/s. Although a UHS-II SD bus would be nice, a good U3 card is more than fast enough even at very high frame rates (4k with HD audio at 120 fps is about 60MB/s, depending on codec).
I have recorded 4k (2160p) video using the default camera app on occasion with my old EVO card, no issues with extended recording or frame drops.

Nice to know thanks for your time
So after receiving the new Kingston SD card same type u3 at first input on the phone it worked fine for about 3 hours or so . After this I changed user on the phone to do something and it had lost it . After a reboot the SD card was readable for about 4 minutes . After a second reboot and leaving the phone alone it didn't eject after an hour . Reformatted it as read on a forum that said to clean media and external storage data and reboot . Worked fine form an hour and ejected once more . Thing is I chose Kingston SD card because it is the fast with the best price . Should I just go with SanDisk or Samsung now?
Kingston cards are junk and have never worked well for me. Samsung and Sony cards have been flawless in multiple devices and multiple sizes. Also I have had good luck with Lexar cards currently have a Lexar 128gb in my Moto X pure
