DJW Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Looking to get a 128GB SDXC micro storage card for the Windows Lumia 640 smart phone I got for my grand daughter last June. The 640 max's out at 128 GB. It looks like you will need at least 8 GB's of storage when you go to upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile. The phone only came with 8GB's to begin with, so I am guessing she would not be able to upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile. Or should I just get her a 64GB SDXC micro storage card for $13.88. Both are on New Egg to day. 1 on Flash and 1 on regular daily e-mail Silicon Power 128GB up to 75MB/s Micro SDXC UH s-1 class 10, Elite Flash Memory card with Adaptor (SP128GBSTXBU1V20SP) $38.99 Free Shipping Dennis USA Master Sergeant Ret.

Biker56 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 If she has gotten by with only 8GB then a 64GB should be plenty big for her.. My iPhone is only 16GB and I have a lot of app on it. Even CoPilot GPS. But with pictures, & some Videos on it. I only now have 3.1GB left to use. But I have some app's that I could take off that I very seldom or never use.

RV_ Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 It takes forever for phones to index preloaded cards at 64GB and I have held off from getting bigger yet for that reason. I don't mean blank cards used exclusively for expansion of storage but ones I have pre loaded with my music and filled the cards up save for 15 GB for storage. Also be sure to unmount the card if you choose to remove it and then it will need to index it when it is put back into service.

DJW Posted December 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 RV I don't have a smart phone so I am not sure of the term "unmount" Is that like "being able to safely remove your external hard drive from USB"? Is this a procedure you need to do to remove the 8GB SD card that was installed from MS? I am not sure of what "indexing" is on a smart phone sd card. Is that like formatting it? I just don't want her to have any problems with storage space when the Windows 10 Mobile OS becomes available. Could you download your iTunes library to your smart phone if you have the storage capacity and then play it via iTunes? Dennis USA Master Sergeant Ret.

RV_ Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Yep, is done on Windows phones too and is called unmounting the SD drive.
