Nokia 2520 and Micro SD cards which ones?

[Madeye234]

Members, need to know two things about MicroSD;s that 2520 can take

1. Can it take a 64 or is 32 the limit
2. Can it take a SDXC card?

Best world would be 64 GB MicroSDXC card - SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card 30MB/s with Adapter SDSDQU-064G-AFFP-A

I may have found the answer on other forums that 64 GB MicroSDXC card has been installed in a Nokia 2520 Review

Yes I have one and it does work.! No issues, 2 months running

I have a SanDisk Pixtor 64g micro SD in mine, and it works great. They go on sale at Best Buy online often. I think I paid about $46. They cost a little more, but have great reviews. I did not want to skimp and have issues.

This may be a dumb question, but can you install apps on the SD card?

 

[JimmyRandall]

Sadly no, but apparently with 8.1 on WP you will be able to, so fingers crossed it will be available on here at some point.

Newegg running an ADATA 64GB sdxc for 29.00 (49.00-20) ending on 2/22 - although Im not a big fan of ADATA though... Newegg.com - ADATA Premier 64GB MicroSDXC Flash Card with Adapter Model AUSDX64GUICL10-RA1

I have the SanDisk card you mentioned in the OP, but just noticed that it only shows 27GB. I reformatted it to NTFS to Bitlocker encrypt it on my Venue Pro and the reformat must have shrunk the partition. It works great on my 2520 but I need to figure out how to repartition it and get my space back.

I have a Samsung 64GB card I got from Fry's for ~$50. Works great.

You mean that you started with a 64GB card and now only have 27GB? If so, find a Win7/8 (need Pro for BitLocker?) desktop and reformat that card to its full capacity then put it back in your tablet. Here is what my card properties are:

will the recently announced sandisk 128gb microsdxc card work?

 

[GizmoEV]

If you find out let us know. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't given that Nokia lists the 64GB as the max size that will work.

 

[JimmyRandall]

I won't say no yet seems Nokia originally said that the max size was 32gb.

Have this and it works great:

Yes, the user manual has it wrong. I don't know if they updated their online spec list but I have only seen it list 64GB since I first checked.

I've got a Sandisk 64gb Class10 card that works fine. Although I see that they released the 128gb one, probably should have waited for that.

a Sandisk 128GB microSD card is working, even if it not listed in Nokias specifications. This card also work with Lumia 820 and Lumia 1520
