Get the SD as memory

[CalHTC]

Hi

I have a HTC M8 16 GB RAM AND 128 GB SD Kingston 128 microSDXC UHS-I Class 10 (Read 90 MB/S Write 80 MB/S)

The 16 GB intern RAM is not enough. So I want to use the SD to apps as well.

Can I use both the intern RAM and the SD Ram as storage ?

If NOT can I use the SD card as app storage - without speed loss ? AND HOW ?

I have just setup the phone so I realy don´t want to setup again to use the SD card - if it is possible.

If you are running Android Marshmallow on your M8 go to Settings > Phone > Storage & USB > tap on your SD Card then Format as Internal. This is a new feature in the Android 6.0 OS. It also will erase all the content on your SD card after you format it.

But if I try to do that the phone sayes that my sd card is to slow and it will bake my phone slower - and that is a no go for me.

But it is true, that my phone becomes slower - if I use the SD card as memory ?

Yes, it needs a faster sd card if you choose "Adoptable storage". I recommend reading this guide (It is motorola's guide but it is a great explanation) on the whole process of adoptable vs portable storage in marshmallow:

Look for a card with U3 stamped on it. Those are the fast ones you need for using a microSD card as internal memory. Samsung has a 128GB card for $99 at Best Buy.
