Afaik, it shouldn't be able to access more than 32gb of its memory, even if it works.

There are also reports that they are working on many older devices for those wondering. Some include the EVO 4G, original Galaxy S, and even the HTC Desire Z (aka T-Mobile G2). With both old and new, smartphones and tablets being able to take advantage of the 64GB SD cards this is a good sign many more will have the same fate.

SDHC and SDXC compatibility issues
In the 3.0 specification, the electronic interface of SDHC and SDXC cards is the same. This means that SDHC hosts that have drivers that recognize the newly used capability bits, and have operating system software that understands the exFAT filesystem, are compatible with SDXC cards. The decision to label cards with a capacity greater than 32 GB as SDXC and to use a different filesystem is due solely to the limitations in creating larger filesystems in certain versions of Microsoft Windows.[citation needed] Other operating system kernels, such as Linux, make no distinction between SDHC and SDXC cards, as long as the card contains a compatible filesystem.
SDHC and SDXC cards and hosts have these compatibility issues:
Existing SDHC hosts will only support the SDXC cards at up to UHS104 speeds.[45]
SDXC hosts are backward compatible with SD and SDHC memory cards.[61]
The operating systems that support SDXC, as of 2011, are: Linux (with a proprietary driver for the exFAT filesystem),[62] Microsoft Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1+,[61] Windows XP SP2 or SP3 with KB955704,[63] Windows Server 2008 SP1+, Windows Server 2003 SP2 or SP3 with KB955704, Windows CE 6+, Mac OS X 10.6.5 or later.[64]

Why would you buy this card for 219$? It's way too much...I just bought a 32GB class 10 card on eBay for 51$ (Ridata brand. Although it's not Sandisk but it's a known memory cards company).

Price goes up logarithmically as you aproach the top.
This has been true for almost everything, everytime in technology, from processors, ram, motherbards, hdd.. etc

But no, i would not give 219$ (or half of it) for a 64gb card. If it where a 2tb card, perhaps :D

Read my material before posting misinformation! The whole card works.
It works as it should. Let's get something straight, the Desire HD DOES NOT SUPPORT SDXC. That, doesn't mean it will not work. Just that HTC washes their hands of it.

Now, from that wikipedia article:

In the 3.0 specification, the electronic interface of SDHC and SDXC cards is the same. This means that SDHC hosts that have drivers that recognize the newly used capability bits, and have operating system software that understands the exFAT filesystem, are compatible with SDXC cards. The decision to label cards with a capacity greater than 32 GB as SDXC and to use a different filesystem is due solely to the limitations in creating larger filesystems in certain versions of Microsoft Windows.[citation needed] Other operating system kernels, such as Linux, make no distinction between SDHC and SDXC cards, as long as the card contains a compatible filesystem.
SDHC and SDXC cards and hosts have these compatibility issues:
Android is based on linux... so there you go.

I'm currently looking at the new samsung cards. I believe they are the fastest class 10 micro sd's around with a 24 MB/s read and write speed.

You should be advised though, that's MAX/PEAK transfer speed.
The sdcard reader/writer in the dhd might not even support it!

Anyhow, how much are we talking about ?? (€/$)

Is you 500gb computer any slower with 1tb ?
Only if you have ALOT of files on one folder, will it be slower...
That's good point :) I have 2x1tb plus 1 TB external works fine :p My worries came from old phones when I used to put 1 gig in Motorola e398 (clasic phone) ;) it freaz on boot. Propebly I forgot what century we live in :) and that DHD spec is much more advance ;)
