im looking to buy a mmc/sd card for my xda2. The cheapest i can find for a 128mb mmc card is £24.67 from ebuyer.com. (delivered UK)
Any body else know of any cheap places to buy accessories
Do not buy SD other than SimpleTech. It is much cheaper than any other makes anyway, and it has true 10MB/s speed. Backing up entire XDA on this card takes about 3 minutes, compared to 1 hour or more on standard SD. It is really amazing. I bouth 256MB and a special memory stick which can handle it for normal PC together for 108USD

I've got several camera's etc that all use sony memory sticks etc and as a result i have about 15 memory sticks which I'd like to use with the XDA 2 rather than buying SD cards I won't be able to use in anything else.
Is there SD/MMC to memory stick / MS duo adaptor or a jacket for the XDA 2 that will take Memory Sticks's?
Cheers
Ant
no jacket other then the cf backpack
maybe there are some mstick to sd converters or mstick to cf converters not sure if they would work all that well though
Today I bought a new TF card(kingmax 16G class6), I think it makes my phone run faster and get smoother 720P video recording .
But really the case? I made a simple test, compared Class2 to Class6 TF card.
First i put the TF card into the phone, and connect to the computer with USB cable, copy a movie. Then copy the same movie using card reader.
HTML:
Class6 TF card Class2 TF card
HTC Desire 2.8MB/s 2.7MB/s
Card Reader 6.4MB/s 3.5MB/s
Obviously, Class6 TF card can not bring significant performance improvement to the phone.
One of the things that held me back from the nexus 4 was the fact there was no way to expand the memory. Thankfully they doubled availability in this one.. I still here even reviewers complaining the 32 should have been 64. I just found this article http://t.co/2mqKLd5RAo scandisk has a wireless flash card. So you can pretty much have as much storage as you want to buy! I up getting the nexus with 32 GB but with wireless card I'd be happy even with the 16 GB. Super stoked I have options to not be capped with the unexpandable memory
You can't use data while connected to this, though.
Neat but seems pretty cumbersome to use, not to mention not being able to use data. I have a knockoff meenova microsd reader that works beautifully for additional storage. Plug it in, transfer files, unplug.

I don't think I would have a use for this especially at $60. Cool idea though.

Right now i have a goflex satellite 500gb that i can connect to wirelessly but also connects to my wifi. It's good for when i'm mobile but plan on staying in one location for a while like a plane or doctor's waiting room but yeah I agree those meenova like devices are much more convenient.

I'd rather use something like this: http://www.2leef.com/store/product/bridge/
So I got one of the Meenova microSD card readers, and I am finding it works pretty well. I have a 16GB Nexus 5 so don't really have alot of room for media, and I have a very large offline collection of video and music files, and needed some way to use them with the phone without using up my app space. The Meenova fit the bill.
The unit comes with a USB interface that essentially turns your microSD into a USB flash drive. It also comes with a keychain latch so that you can keep the unit on your keychain, and simply pop it in when you need it. It is quite small and doesn't protrude to the point that the phone is difficult to handle. Much better than an OTG with a cable.
I am using Nexus Media Importer since I am not rooted, and am using a 32GB card in it. The website says that if you are rooted you can use StickMount and access SDXC 64GB cards. My 64GB card wouldn't work with Nexus Media Importer as is, as it only supports FAT32 and not exFAT. That's a software issue, though, not a hardware issue.
This little unit solves a big problem for me and gives me at least a reasonably sized media library on the go that I can't have due to the phone's limitations. I can now carry a dozen or so HD movies along with a pretty decent music library and not eat into the phone's storage at all. For the price you can't lose; it is possibly the best $12 I ever spent.

already 2 threads about it here and here
Yup, I have one and it's pretty awesome. It works on my Moto X natively, but works just fine with stickmount on my N5. One of the best accessories I've ever bought.
Yeah there's already two threads about this. But just so you know you can format the 64 gb as FAT32 and according to other people that works.
Does anyone know if the new SanDisk 128 GB micro SD will work on the Note 8?

Well until there is a new release of Samsung's firmware, my guess is it won't. Samsung has a propitiatory SD file system that is specified to 64GB, at the time of release.

Not sure if this will work, but you can try partitioning the 128gb SD card to 64gb and format. What ever you do with the other half partitioned or not will not be seen or used. This way you can always have it for when you upgrade to new hardware or if Samsung updates the new 4.4.3 OS to use 128gb cards. I have seen many vendors do such things with SD card compatibility after a year or so of release. Though not many tablets sport external SD let alone 64GB or more for them.

For me it is music and video... Wife has 50GB in music files alone. Movies can be swapped out as needed. The nice thing is you can always swap out the SD card... Ah, I bet nobody has given this mod out yet... Samsung Note 8.0 and possibly other Note tablets have the SD slot so that the chip is upside down. I find, because I trim my nails often, that getting the bugger out of the slot to be annoying. I used a trimmed off 5/8"x 3/8" section of packing tape as a flap to pull out the SD card once ejected. I fold it over so that there is about 1/8" of flap and 1/4" of tape holding the SD card on both sides. A razor hobby knife will work fine if scissors seem to be trouble. This way the flexible tape will lay flat when the cover is in place.

I just wondering why there are so many limits to support sd card size. 64bits is almost everywhere. Wish more advanced disk format could be the industrial standard apart from the fat family. Then the life will be much easier.
As per phandroid it says that it should work. Check the link below
