Who's picking up a 64GB micro SD?

[Small_law]

I also have the Lexar 32 gb class 10 card. I see that these 64 gb cards seem to top out at class 6.

Assuming you can see the speed difference, beyond capacity, what's different about the newer higher capacity cards? Is more storage the only benefit or is a new 64 gb class 6 faster than older 32 gb class 10 cards? Has the way the speed is rated remained the same?

I think getting Class 10 is important - I wondered why my Dinc 2 was slow - I put a Class 4 32 GB and replaced it with a Class 10. Supposedly, even though the 64 GB micro SDXC format is not officially supported by most phones, if you format the card in your phone OR if you format it on the computer selecting FAT32 (NTFS is the default) that is the file format that Android recognizes and should work in most phones. The reason to format it in your phone (rather than the PC) is that gives you the highest probability of working. Right now, 64 GB micro SD is new so still rather expensive. Also, even though all Class 10 should be equal higher quality cards can and do make a difference from a reputable manufacturer.

I've read that random write speeds are more important. Something that the class speed doesn't tell.

Here is a great read on xda about it.

I picked up a genuine 64Gb Sandisk MicroSD card with SD adapter for ~$60.

I used EaseUs Partition Master Home Edition to format it to FAT32, which worked.
My GT7+ now recognizes ~58Gb of storage space.

I got the SanDisk 64GB card off of Amazon and it works great. Just make sure to format it in the phone before you copy your old data to it or it will not recognize it

I tried it without even thinking If my phone could support it or not...and..it can't...lol. I have Lg optimus L9.
I doubt it'll work on other phones as well being the fact that it's 16G short from 80g hard drive. Don't test out this theory anymore lol..It simply just doesn't work.
Bought it without thinking, I wasn't even aware they were making 64g micro sd's lol..

Try formatting it to FAT32, it should work then. (I have one and it had to be formatted like that, and now it works with my Optimus f7 and my Nexus 5).
