Question Support 64GB Micro SDXC?

Does anyone know if our Galaxy Tab 2 (I have the 7" if that matters) will support a 64GB Micro SDXC card? For example: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Mobile...6508200&sr=8-1

I am looking to use a 64GB for my dash project if it will work, as 32GB after offline navigation maps, isn't much room for music for me... hopefully it will support it, I just don't want to buy it and it not work...

Thanks in adv.!

Samsung makes a USB adapter and a sd card connector that would let you have additional storage besides the built in sd card slot.
Site says it is not compatible with original Galaxy 7.0, but doesn't make mention of any other Galaxy Tab.
Your main issue would be getting power to the tab...you would be able to hook a USB hub to the Samsung adapter...then off the hub, have additional storage and one going to a charger cable...not sure if that would fry anything though...and even if that worked, you'd be getting a trickle charge.
Alternately, you could hack up one of the Sammy docks which offer some different port options. The site doesn't list any of these accessories specific to the Tab2, but I'm guessing the 7.0 plus accessories work until they release the official Tab2 accessories.

no, this card will not work with this tablet. i brought this tab for my daughter, i have a xoom with a 64gb card in it. I also have a spare 64gb card. I placed it in her tab and it was not recognized. It was already formatted and working in my xoom.

My co-worker just put his Sandisk 64GB Ultra SDXC card in his stock (rooted) Galaxy Tab 2 and it shows no problem.

Here's the proof:


Definitely ordering this card now... here is the SD card used in the above screenshot: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Mobile...6659149&sr=8-1

i'll try again later. i do know that i put the card in and the device asked to format it. i let it, and still nothing. i will experiment some more later.

edit: i see his device is rooted, that might be why it works.

Yea, I know when he put his in, it took almost a minute for the device to show that the card was in there... but we chalked that up to the fact that it has a ton of stuff on it.

Also, this card is currently being used in his rooted, ICS running ATT Samsung Galaxy S II.. so maybe that has something to do with it (it's in the proper ICS format already).

If you inserted the card & it asked you to format it. It means it can't read what format (NTFS, exFat) is currently on the card. Once you format it (FAT32), the device will recognize the card.
