SD Card Storage Expansion / Vivotab Note 8 / 32

Hi all, looking for recommendations and feedback, can I install a 128gb sd card and use right off the bat ? anyone got any favourite brands ... sandisk ? ultra or extreme ? anything that wont work ?

thanks folks

 

hi according to "local experts" i will only be able to insert a 64gb SD card, is that correct?

if so i may be better looking to upgrade my note8 to the 64gb model note 8 ?

 

A 128 GB card will likely work but Asus doesn't guarantee it, but they do promise that a 64 GB card will work. 128 cards are not generally available yet so few have tried them.

Twitter is to communications as haiku is to literature.

 

wow because theyre in cheap and plentiful supply over here, ima gonna throw one in tomorrow and report back

 

a 64gb card works without problems. I use a Sandisk Extreme 64gb.
though I can't say how fast it works in this device since I seldom use it.

 

i can confirm 128gbSD works fine !

has somewhat beefed up my note 8/32 !

although i am wondering whether i should have held out for the 64gb SSD model

 

"Cheap and plentiful" does not vibe well with 128GB microSD cards to me. I would strongly advise you to run h2testw before you put any data on it.

well, its a sandisk ultra, there is even an ad for it on the for sale / wanted part of the forum ... when i say cheap i mean compared to the 64gb, its only a few pence more, and for me to carry literally all my client data with me, thats a massive convenience factor ... i would have paid twice that ...

 

This actually just raises even more red flags.

 

in not up on my storage, arent sandisk a strong brand ?

ps. im hoping to configure onedrive to sync to the card !
