start with data2sd unless you want to test multiple roms an what kind of sdcard do you have to see if it is worthwhile.
I just use the tablet for basic tasks like surfing the web but everything so laggy. I don't need multiple roms. Will be using a 16 or 32gb class 10 microsd. I'm tempted to try the new zombi 5.1 Rom.

Yes try the new zombi rom - if you format /data first (remember it takes 90+ mins so don't interrupt it) you will find it very smooth :)

Reformat SD

Is it ok to reformat the micro SD back using Windows disk management? What format do I format it to? I don't have a CD drive on the computer I am using. If so, what format would be best for a Surface Pro 3? If not I can use a computer at work. Any instructions would be awesome :)

Is there any modern ROM that works with data/rom2sd and disk encryption? Disk encryption is a must for my use case, but the internal storage is sooo slow. People say that disk encryption increases lag, but since cpu is totally not the bottleneck on this device, it is neglegible (at least for me). Any ROM this works on?
I already tried some CrombiKK with Rom2SD a while back, but when I hit encrypt in the settings the device just reboots :(

Thanks for your help!

I had better results with a Scandisk class 4 than a class 10 on data2sd. Really depends on the card.
But data2sd is kinda dated. The winning combo for the TF700 to nowadays is: ZOMBi-Pop with internal data on f2fs after a full format of /data in TWRP.

Thanks for replying. I am currently benchmarking all my SD cards looking for the fastest/most reasonable combo. So far my Transformer does 12mb read/5mb write which is whats causing the lag I guess. I tried a 8gb Sandisk class 2 (10mb read/4mb write), 32gb Strontium class 10 (18mb read/13mb write) and now waiting for that 16gb Strontium card to make my final decision.

Now for your winning combo - This f2fs thing is new to me. I've been reading up on this thread. So basically I don't need app2sd or any sd card. Just formatting my transformer internal memory with this new file system and flashing a compatible rom that will take advantage of it like zombipop is enough to cure lag and give a reasonably good experience?

It will certainly help that's for sure...
