Has anyone used this for external storage for their smartphone? I have a Samsung Note II &amp; am having a hard time finding a decent Micro SD card.

Yes, I'm using it on my Samsung Galaxy S III. Seems fine to me. I like the USB adapter.

I have a Samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1" and needed something to store pictures on and I used the micro SDHC class 32GB sandisk and it works great - did not need formatting. I also can use it in my portable handheld VuPoint scanner. You can transfer stuff to a larger computer by inserting the microdisc into a mini sandisk USB card reader. I know I don't have the same device but I hope I have helped somewhat.

Well, I just tried a micro SD in mine, and it worked. I'm running Windows 8.1. USB 3.0 also works. That's about all I use, but they seem to work.

I (nor my sister) have found a need for a micro sd card. You have the option to use one for greater memory but without the SD card it still holds a lot of audio. My sister has conversations and lectures stored on it, and has yet reached its memory capacity. I hope this answered your question.

Just broke mine today :( I had a 32GB microSD in the slot in my back pocket, and when I took it out, I could see that the card had snapped, with both halves loose in my pocket. I tried to put the remainder back in to salvage info, but 1) the computer didn't recognize it and 2) I can't get the fragment out of the drive now. User "Connor" has it right: it's pretty durable (been carrying it this way for about a year) but it can snap if you're not more careful than I was.

It works fine with my 16 Gb micro SD. But, I'm headed to the store. I'll try to pick up a larger capacity card and let you know what happens.-Dan

MicroSD cards have not changed in the past few years so I would not imagine there to be a software / compatibility problem you mention. I think you got very unlucky. I bought a 4GB Micro SD by Sandisk and the unit recognises it without any problem. I must admit though, that I had difficulty copying my files from my PC to the Expansion Card. I could not do it with Windows Media Player (even though it recognised the expansion card). To copy files to the MincroSD I had to put it in my cell phone and connect my phone to my computer! Ugh! And one last problem, after using a MicroSD card in the player, the battery life diminished from about 3 hours playing time to about 30 minutes.

Yes, I'm currently using a 128gb microSD card without a problem. Just make sure that you format it to FAT32. My 128gb card came as exFat. I used the utility here (http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm) without any troubles.

oh for the love of Mike, I hope you didn't try the first answer. A micro SD card will only go in a Micro SD slot and there is only one way to insert it. Do not, I repeat Do Not put it in the USB slot, if you're lucky it will fall out, but it could jam and/or short out the USB.

Although android applications are very small and take very little space in memory, I think that you should get the 32 GB version and also use one SD-Card (16 or 32 GB) for storage your files (Movies, Music and Photos), Because there is no way to add the SD-Card Memory, to the Sony Tablet Internal Memory... Therefore, you can only use the external SD-Card for storing your files and then can read from it! I think that other Android Tablets (like the Samsung Tab), are able to add the SD-Card Memory to internal memory of the system, but with the Sony S Tablet this is not possible yet... Sony has said that this is a limitation of Android OS, but then why on other Android tablets, the SD memory can be added to the system and not the Sony S? I Hope to see some APP in the future, which allows to add this additional SD-Card memory to the internal memory of the Sony S Tablet!! I hope this information can help you make a correct decision!

I use a 64GB Sandisk Ultra SDXC class 10 card, and it works great.In reality, it gets 60 GB storage on it. I also tried an older "class 4" 32 GB SD card and it worked fine, but "Class 10" is better, because it reads & writes faster. It reads and writes files fine in the tablet, mostly for music apps and movie apps. I haven't had any issues with apps not being able to write to it. I set the music, movie, and camera apps to store on the external SD. I transfer files to it on my Macbook pro using the Android File Transfer app, without having to take out the SD card.

Eddie, from what I have seen on different websites it seems that you should be able to use this sd card in your phone. On all of the sd cards recommended they seem to be UHS-1 SDHC the same as this one. Just one word of advice; never go higher that 16gb no matter who the manufacturer is. I have wasted a couple hundred dollars on higher capacity sd cards, only to have them fail within 6 months or less. I hope this helpful, and please let me know how it goes.

I dont see why not, I had it for the galaxy stellar and the only problem I had with it was that it didn't auto save my picture to it. I constantly had to transfer. So I don't think it was the SD card I think it was the phone. I have a note 3 now, dont need it, stuck it in my tablet. Works fine

Thank you. I was looking for a micro sd. You kept me from making a big mistake. Looking at so many they are getting f2f confusing. Many thanks.

The flash drive and microSD have worked correctly. I have not done work with an external hard drive.

Tried it on my Galaxy Note 10 2014 edition in both USB and Card Reader mode. Never got either to work. Got an "Unrecognized Device" error when I inserted the SD card in Card Reader mode. I would say explore other options.

I agree it works well even with 4GB card. When I use external card reader to upload pics to the card and then I plug the card to the frame itself. Its weird that whan I use 2GB CF card I can upload pics via cable PC-FRAME but when I use SD card I have to use external reader.Anyway looks like it way to go by now. I also dont feel secure to update to the firmware that is older than what I curently have and hope that upcoming 10" model wont have such issues.Thanx for reply.
