Iconia Tab A100 + ICS + Sandisk 64G = Success

---

I purchased a sandisk 64G microSD for my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. Out of curiosity I tried the Sandisk on my ICS 4.0.3 Iconia Tab A100 and it worked fine, no issues. Just an FYI for those who want the ultimate amount of storage. I had to format the SD first....

thanks for the advise, what class is your sd card?

Class 6, 64GB the sandisk red and gray one (I can't post links apparently, <10 posts).

I got the iconia for $159 from Daily deals about a month ago and so far it has totally exceeded all my expectations. Truly a great tablet.... The SD was on special for $59 including shipping, from adorama, which wasa deal also! This unexpected ability to work with a 64GB SD means my iPad 3 is now staying home!

I was having issues trying to use a SanDisk 32 GB mini. It would format in Fat32 (would take forever to format) and would appear to work for a while on the A100 but then I would start getting strange "unable to write" error messages from different apps.

I am not sure of the class, could having the wrong class card be a cause of my problems?

Thanks!

Hey have you tried the memory swap using it???? If it works i'll be placing an order for one this Friday

I'm not sure what you mean by memory swap, can you clarify please?

Its a mod. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1422158.

Please fill the card, I've been down this road before, sometimes the size will report correctly but after the data actually exceeded the devices working specs the data becomes corrupted. Please check it out.

There is no reason for it to not work. If the system can use the card and mount it the swap will work. That being said, it may still only use 32gb if the cards capacity. The tegra2 itself is rated for 64gb however the iconias other hardware may not handle it so well.

If he could report back at 40gb if it works OK then that would cement it working or not. I mean like fill it with whatever to 40gb, slap on a movie and watch it for corruption. I'd test it but I only have 32gb and smaller.

OP here. I'm not going to try the memory swap, as I have no need and don't want to break anything, the associated warnings are pretty dire.
I have ~19GB free on the 64GB MicroSD and no problems accessing, reading and deleting files.
