[Q] Vaio duo 11 compatible with UHS-1 64gb micro SD cards? - Windows 8 General

Hi I need more space for my duo 11 and the cheapest way i believe is to buy a micro sd card to increase the size(Don't know if i can swap my hard drive from 128gb to 256gb). I spotted this micro sd card which is pretty good but don't know if i can utilise it to its maximum speed. The card is "Samsung UHS-1 Class10 PRO Micro SD XC 64GB Memory Card", I know duo 11 supports SD XC but it also needs to support UHS-1 for it to use it up to its maximum speed.
On a side note it says
-Read Speed: Up to 70MB/s
-Write Speed: Up to 20MB/s
Does take mean if i transfer files out of the sd card it can go up to 70mb/s and if i want to transfer files from my hard drive to the sd card the transfer speed would be 20mb/s??
Thanks in advance!

That would be the correct speeds assuming all is perfect and no overhead.
You also need to verify that the reader in the Sony is not connected through USB 2.0 or you wouldn't see 70MB/sec reads, more along the lines of 30-35MB/sec.

The duo uses sd cards not microsd. You can use a microsd card with an adapter but a sd card will be cheaper.
I have a 256gb sd card in mine and it works but it's not particularly fast.

That would be the limiting factor as far as the SD card is concerned yes. Operating system overhead would slightly reduce that. Also there would be a limiting factor in what the hard drive read and write speeds are or memory stick or whatever it is the files are being transferred to and from.

1Gb SD card - does XDA II support it?

Does it?
Thanx
Igb Card Support
Yes I am using a San Disk Igig card for GPS Maps with no problem.
great ! thanx......
...and I use one for movies!
1 gb
i use it for my MP3s and movies as well.
what about high-speed x60 1G SD card ?
faster then normal speed ?
i'm using 1gig 60x pqi sd card. oftentimes it works. problems encountered: xda2 can't detect the sd card. never done the 3x format yet.
you won't see much in terms of speed in PPC. all these fast speed SD is meant for digital camera & video actually.
I have a 1Gig card by 'Integral' that claims to be high speed. I was having some problems running gps mapping etc from it, though for mp3's and videos it was fine.
I have now bought a 512 SanDisk Ultra 2 card and Tom Tom is much better with this card. Using a multiple file read/write test to copy from the card to itself, the new Sandisk card is significantly quicker, and Tom Tom runs/opens much better than it did with the 1Gig card. So higher speed cards do show an improvement, though not as much as when they are in a device that can take full advantage of the card, like a PC card reader for instance.
I have a x66 PQI 1Gb SD card that I run TomTom3, MP3's and store presentations on. I have had no problems with this card at all. The higher speed of the card does make difference and improves the performance to both the applications and the speed at which data is copied to the card (not using hotsync).
Ive found that some really cheap SD cards have loads of problems.
I bought a cheap card and it was terrible, kept not working, corrupting files etc. I swapped for a 1gig Sandisk, all is well, no problems at all.
I found that the 32meg NOKIA cards given with most new nokia phones a year or so ago dont work. They are totally unreliable.
You get what you pay for, the faster cards are normally more expensive, and ive noticed the difference when copying big files from ram to card.
Get the better cards, its worth it in the long run.

Class 2 and Class 6 micro sdhc cards

I currently have a 8 gb micro sd card (class 2) and I was wondering whether I would really see a difference in the speed of my phone access programs installed to the micro sd card if I upgraded to a 8 gb (class 6) microsd card?
Inside the phone, not much of a difference, since the limiting factor is the phone and not the card. But when you connect the microSD card to your computer (through the USB cable or using a reader), class 6 will allow you to transfer files to/from the card much faster.

[Q] Question on Sandisk Ultra Class-10 64GB microSDXC

I have some questions to pose regarding the Sandisk Ultra 64GB Class 10 microSDXC.
I bought it about a month ago, and when i first put it into my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505, it didn't read anywhere near 64GB. Hence, i formatted the new microSD with Samsung's format option, and it showed 59.48GB. Worked perfectly from there.
However, i find the default file system of the microSD card really slow in transferring files when i connect my phone to the PC via USB, with the microSD mounted on my phone. I have a Kingston microSD reader, so i used it to connect my microSD to the PC, and tried to wipe and format it to FAT32. After doing so, the storage size became like 27GB. Is there a way to make my microSD running FAT32 system and get it to work on both my PC and phone without any problems with the size?
Anyway, i formatted the microSD again with Samsung's format option, and it went back to normal 59.48GB. However, i used my microSD reader to connect it to the PC, and it couldn't read the microSD card. It prompts me to format it. Is it because my microSD reader does not work with microSDHX cards? Or is it because my Windows PC cannot read the microSD's file system?
Hope someone has an answer, thanks.
P.S I posted this as a reply to an old thread, but realised it was in the Galaxy S3 forum, so i figured i'll post it here.
So you could use the memory card in your card reader after formatting the card as FAT32?
What OS are you running on your PC? If it's Windows XP, support for exFAT needs to be added. You can find more on this here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955704

Make a low level format.
utilities for that can be found on google..

use a program such as H2testw to see if your microsd card is fake or defective . You can get it from here or google it .

I found the solution. The Kingston USB reader that i used is actually not compatible with my Sandisk MicroSDXC. That's the reason it couldn't read my microSD when i connected it to the PC. I used the SD card adapter that came with the microSD on a newer laptop which has the port, and it read my card perfectly.
Anyway, i ended up putting my microSD back to my phone and formatting it using the Samsung option. Then, i used a program to format the microSD to FAT32, which i don't think is actually necessary as there wasn't any reading/writing speed difference when it came to transferring files.
Cheers.
Micro SDHC 64GB 10 Series
I wonder if someone can help me.
I purchased a Micro SDHC 64GB 10 Series memory card on Ebay - Brand new.
When I opened the packaging, the card first asked me to format the card fr use. At first, The SDHC card worked fine.
But now when I attempt to use it via laptop, The SDHC card doesn't show up on "My Computer"
It's like the card isn't reading at all..
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I've been playing with Windows since Android's grandfather was a tadpole, so in a combination of research and personal expertise I present the following advice...
DO NOT install a SD of a Class other than what is listed in our phone's Hardware Compatibility List - they being a Class 10 MicroSD, MicroSDHC and MicroSDXC - beyond that of 32GB, as you're only looking for trouble. Sometimes bigger is not necessarily better - just ask the people who knew the man that ate himself to death. NAND technologies are getting better by the day, but unfortunately devices grow increasingly incompatible with newer variants of MicroSD's simply because of the changes made within the firmware of the NAND controller. By changing Class outside of the scope of our phone's capability, problems can arise. Kind of like having a PC and trying to use a SATA-M drive on it. Unless you've got the physical hardware and device drivers installed, you can't expect it to work properly, same as throwing a SATA3 drive on a SATA2 port and expecting it to transfer data at over 3Gbps. If you find you are so desperate that you just can't do without having a 64GB card installed, go to eBay and grab yourself a Genuine Samsung 64GB 'Evo' Class 10 MicroSDXC. They are the fastest and highest capacity MicroSD our device will be friendly with (due to NAND controller compatibility) and at the moment they're going for good prices. Once you get it, Format the thing on your phone first, according to Samsung's instructions for installing the card. You'll then have a bit less than 60GB of storage space, along with Samsung backup if something does go wrong, simply because you're running a Samsung card in a Samsung phone. Trust me, its a great combination, proven by the fact my Samsung laptop runs like a dream on the Samsung 840Pro series SSD it has in it's belly...

Good advice but I guess I'm just glad my 64gb card has been serving me well. [emoji41]

getting bad transfer speeds on 5Ghz with my note 4

my link rate on the phone is 525Mbit/s and my computer is at 1Gbit/s and for some reason im transferring from my computer to my phones Memory card which is a sandisk 128gb and im only getting around 1-3 MB/s write speed, i don't get it shouldn't the sd card be rated for higher? or is it the chip inside my note 4 that bottlenecks the sd card? im using Es media to transfer the files. And no it's not small files it was around 800MB
Write speed to your SD card (external storage) from your pc to your device is slower than transferring the file directly from your pc to your devices' internal storage.

but how can it be so slow? is it the phone storage controller that's bottlenecking the sd card?

I'm not quite sure about that. But I think one of the reasons is the SD card itself. Try to use a microSD adapter, plug it in your PC and transfer a file to it. Is it a lot faster that way?
yeah i can get like 12 MB/s

MXP and microSD card speeds

1. Does the MXP support U3 class cards? And if it does, can it actually make use of U3 class performance? Otherwise might just as well a slower/less expensive card
2. What's the current common wisdom on the choice of microSD cards?
a. Get a good brand (esp as failure of a card in a Marshmallow device where the card is assigned as internal memory extension seems likely to wind up in a bootloop/require factory reset)
b. For general use for Marshmallow internal memory expansion, which specs are most important? Random read/write of small data blocks, or something else?
Get a U3 card
