64 GB Micro SDXC from Sandisk


I ordered this from Amazon and just received it. The packaging was as shown on the web page and identified the microsSD as a 64Gb UHS1 Class10 microSDXC. When inserted into my new Samsung Galaxy S3, the phone recognized the memory card and indicated free space on it as 59.45GB. This was without formatting it with the phone. The first time I opened the camera app after inserting the microSD, a popup asked if I wanted to use the SD for storage-naturally I selected Yes. So far, I'm happy with my purchase

Bought this card to use with my Samsung Galaxy Tab2 7in tablet, based on others who have reported getting it to work in their Galaxy Tab 2.

Bottom line, you gotta reformat this card as FAT32 with 32kb sectors to work in the Galaxy Tab 2, and that requires jumping thru some hoops as Win6/Vista does not even offer the choice to format as FAT32, only as NTFS or exFAT, neither of which will work with the Galaxy Tab 2 (Android v4.04) You have to use 3rd party software to accomplish this. A FREE solution is the EaseUS Partition Master free software you can download from cnet or direct from EaseUS. I had a commercial package already installed (Acronis DiskDirector) that I used.

Once fomatted as FAT32 with 32kb sectors, the card is recognized AND all the space is seen and useable.

Highly recommended if you need the space. I would assume that this would also make LARGER microSDXC cards work as well
