32GB SDHC Compatable?

[bbianchi]

I was thinking about getting a Kingston 32GB Secure Digital High-Capacity card, but im not sure the DROID would mount it.

Has anyone tried something larger than the 16GB that came with it?

 

[darkstar]

is that a microSDHC? I don't think that one will work...

 

[bbianchi]

Good call, totally thought I was looking at a micro... 16G is the max.

 

[darkstar]

For now.... best you can do is 16g.. but you can upgrade it by getting a faster card... stock ones are class 2... you can get a class 6 pretty for cheap.

That's what the specs say. However, just try to find a 32gb micro-SD. I believe they're only available in Asia.

Ther is space for two memory cards, unfortunately the second space in the droids we have now is just space, they didn't actually put in the hardware to make use of the cards....they just left space to do so in a future phone that they no doubt coulda easily done right now but they wouldn't make as much money from stringing it out. There will be 32gb microsdhc cards eventually though. All I could find was pre-order at some euro site, failed to find any actual info beyond that, but it's late and I am in zombie mode

That's true, difficult if not impossible to purchase for the moment.

Having said that, the Droid supposedly supports the 32Gig - once available.

@Herc130 the second space is not for additional memory but for the SIM in GSM version.
Milestone and Droid use the same internal back panel where a Micro SD and a GSM SIM card can be inserted.

You need to change your search a little bit. None of the ones in your links are micro SHDC cards.

I was thinking about going to verizon and getting a 32gb card!
I'll loose my pics and videos off the 16gb, but it shouldnt be to bad! Maybe, maybe not... I should have done the 32 when I got the phone...

 

[ericatomars06]

I really wish there where two slots in the phone... So i could add my on with all my pictures and such from my other phone.

I have personally tested the Droid, Eris and Hero with a 32G A-Data class 6 card and it works on all three, But stock android is painfully slow reading the gallery the first time after a reboot. HTC gallery, OI file manager gallery, and Astro file gallery are faster, but not by much.

Subsequent reads are at normal speed, so it just takes a while to index the data.

*edit*
Should have added, I have no idea where or when these will be widely available. I got mine from from an Evertek account rep for testing.

 

[ericatomars06]

I wonder how many people have a 32gb in their Droid or plan on upgrading to one.

 

[Mr.Miagi]

For the right price I would upgrade to one, as long as it doesnt slow anything down over all, the first reading being slow I have no problem with.

Just put all the pictures and videos on your computer in a folder and then swap cards and then transfer them back on the new larger memory card... Should be simple.

There is not a 32 gb micro sdhc card from Verizon.

 

[bbianchi]

It doesnt have to be from Verizon, it just has to exist...

fyi - Google says Android cannot format 32GB cards. A fix is coming some time in the future. Google to fix Android card-formatting flaw | Relevant Results - CNET News

I would probably get a 32 GB card, but from what I read when they are going to start coming out, it looks like a few hundred bucks a pop. A little too much for me right now.
