Acer Iconia W510 - 64GB microSDXC ?

Acer Iconia W510 - 64GB microSDXC  ?

The W510 is maxed to 32gb microSD accordingly to the manual, but is that true?

I ordered an SanDisk Mobile Ultra - 64gb microSDXC UHS-I (SDSDQUA-064G-U46A)

I payed 383DKKR for the Card, which is equivalent to:
66,66$ or 51,38€

 Specs

Transfer speeds up to 30 MB/s

Highest video recording performance with Class 10

UHS Speed Class 1 (U1) rating

64Gb capacity.

And the reason why you're reading this blog, did it Work?

YES IT DID! .
Bare in mind that 64gb is really 59,4gb.

 

So how are the read/write speeds?

Let's take a look:

So the Card promises up to 30 mb/s, it barely reaches that in reading speed, and 1/3 in writing speed.

But how are the speeds compared towards the MMC SSD in the tablet?

Here's some benchmark of the SSD

The read speed is fast enough for this setup, since you won't run too heavy programs on this hybrid.



To conclusion, the 64gb SDXC drive is a MUST for this tablet.

The Price for SD Cards have become so low, that everyone can afford it.

Especially because the main drive will become full FAST, remember the OS is 20gb.
