Is the card formatted in NTFS? If so try formatting using FAT32.
Hope this helps

Or even FAT without 32 if that possible. And that should fix the problem

I just buy a Kingston 32G class 4 sdcard, my DHD is no problem. Other my sdcard format is Fat32.

I have the same card and it works very well formatted to FAT32. Good Read/Write speeds considering it's a big card.

Cool I'll try this but now have to get a card reader as one I had broke... nice to know other people got the same kingston card working
Good times people

[Q] Does ROM performance speed highly depend on SD card class?

Sup all. I'm currently using Sandisk 8gb class 2 and I have tried mdj revolution 1.2 or smth, I have been enjoying it very much but it lags in menu sometimes, sometimes in other places, so I'd like to ask if micro SD class 6, for example, can fix it ..

[Q] Micro SD and Class (and stuffs)?

Sorry but i didnt find a topic about this on NEXUS 7 forum.
A few questions:
1 - Anyone knows if N7 can support all sizes of microSD? (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128..so on)
2 - What the lowest CLASS do i need to play videos without problem?
3 - What the lowest CLASS do i need to play GAMES without problem? (using life02 thread
4 - What about battery consume when using the MicroSD/OTG?
5 - I will post some links and you guys tell me which one should be better or trustble
Option 1 Samsung 32GB Class10
Option 2 Sandisk 32GB Class10
Option 3 Patriot 32GB Class 10
I dont have much money so the first option will always be the best one (Unless some1 tell to forget about)
Thanks You all (Sry bad spelling and gramatic)

The Nexus 7 does NOT have a microSD slot. No expandable memory at all.
EDIT- Oops you mean for OTG? In my experience anything Class 6 or above is fine, Amazon has a class 10 16GB for a good price.

I personally would not use a class 10 for anything other than movies, music, and pictures. They are awful at small random IO.

No, it will not work with ANY SD card.
There is no Micro SD slot.
There is no expandable memory.

I believe the OP knows that, I think they are looking for a microSD to use with a card reader.

Ah, way to make myself look stupid. I wanted to make sure he didn't glance over the posts, since it seemed he only focussed on the speed issue.
And it turns out, I glanced over the OP's post too quickly myself.

Can somebody confirm Nexus 7 can handle a 64GB MicroSD card? Much obliged.

For movies you shouldn't have a problem. Probably okay for games too if it is just the extra asset data. Now getting a game to install on an external SD card is a whole other story, you might need to manually copy it over and create symlinks. Could be a bit of trouble.
When the Nexus was first out I heard there were problems getting apps to see movies on an OTG storage, I think there was a root solution to that, but I am not sure. There might even be a simpler solution since then.
Note: I've not done any of this myself, just basing it on my general knowledge on how Android and Linux works.

Using a cheap OTG cable and a generic SD Card (full size; not micro) Reader, I can play movies just fine. Since full size SD are cheaper per gb than micro, I'm not sure why anyone would want to use micro cards, but whatever floats your boat. My N7 is rooted, but stock. I installed StickMount. All my cards are Class 10 or UHS 1

HD+, CM10 vs Rooted stock?

I'm playing with CM10 on a 16gb class 10, its dog slow compared to a properly running device (like my GS3 on CM10.1). Before I spend a few hours getting the stock rom rooted, gapps, side loading, etc.. enabled. Is it faster.

If you are running on a decent SD, CM10 is not slow. I can't say there is much difference between CM10 running on a good SD and stock. By good SD I mean a SanDisk class 4.
And it does not take a few hours to do those things to stock. Once you burn my CWM card, it is minutes to do all those things.

Sorry to jack the thread, but what speeds should you be seeing on a sandisk class 4 or any sd for that matter to have "good" speeds, I know random writes are most important, and for some reason I only get about 0.5 mb on my sandisk class 4

Look at this thread. It is all about running Nook Color ROMs on SD and the cards that work best. It has benchmarks for many brands and classes. And is very applicable to the HD series.

I would like to benchmark my EMMC with crystal mark but havent figured out how yet :/
As is though, I am using rooted stock 2.0.5 from leapinlar's guide. Its pretty dang fast. A lot faster than was shown in the review videos. Still not up there with my GS3, but about as good as my GS2 was (yes I realize those devices have less pixels to render, but its all I have to compare to). Regardless, its fast enough that I don't ever feel like I'm waiting and it has enough functionality to do basically everything. Thats enough for me to be happy with the device and use it till it falls apart. Too bad theres not some magical way to have this thing run from a small SSD over USB.

Do you need an SD card to be in the nook to run rooted stock? I'm interested in seeing how much faster it is than cm10, you can still access the stock reader right? And can you install paid apps from your Google account?

No need for SD in slot unless you want one. All stock stuff available plus paid apps if you flashed the gapps zip and registered with Google.

That sounds amazing, can I use the same cwm SD card that I installed cm10 with to root stock?

Yes you can. I have the zips hard coded to install my zips to stock. Usually you can't but in this case you can.

Just a note on doing the rooted stock thing, i was unable to get any of leaps cwm sd card images to boot. Could be my card, could be my reader, etc.. whatever. However the cwm images for installing CM10 did work, so I just wrote one of those images to it, and then replaced all of the files with the files from the image that can write to emmc. Probably something technical to do with alignment but whatever, it worked. Just an option if you have trouble getting it to boot from your card.
