Ten pounds of crazy in a five pound bag

Well, it would be a terabyte sd card in a slot for one hundred twenty eight gigs. Is it doable? I have a tb right now and can't really afford to buy another of any size.

Check if your device fully supports SDXC: Secure Digital eXtended Capacity type SD cards. If so, then 1TB should work.

BTW where did you buy the 1TB SD? Be aware there's many fakes around.

This seems to be real. I've been using it in a Moto G 5g and am considering switching it to a brand new Blu B170D. According to the Moto's file manager (Fossify), it has more than 50% left. How do I know if it supports that standard? Will I be able to use the whole card or only part of it?

Yeah just head over to the file manager build in.. I think you can use a full terabyte on it.

do you know the make and model of the card?

what phone do you have now? and it will depend on the blu phone. i can;t find much on it. nothing comes up as far as what sd card is supported.

I'm not sure what card without taking it out of the Moto G 5g and I don't want to until I'm pretty sure it will work in the Blu. I do know it's not some fly by night. I wouldb't do that.

 

[ocnbrze]

yes your phone supports it.....according to Motorola Moto G 5G - Full phone specifications

not sure on the blu phone.....do you have the exact model number for it?

This thread title is amazing 🤣

 

[Rgarner]

Thanks, I like it too. How do I find the exact model number? Is it in settings under about phone?

yep that is where it should be.

 

[Rgarner]

It's the B170D all right. It's running Android 14. Whatever other info do I need to get this show on the road? If I put in the 1 tb, will the phone explode? Will I be able to use the full terabyte? What happens to the goods already on it? It's just under 50% full.

 

[Rgarner]

Well, I guess I'll just go ahead and put that sd card in the Blu. If anything goes wrong it'll be all your fault. Wish me luck...

The only thing that will happen is that you either get the full tb or you get a smaller amount avaliable.

Make sure you back up the card first. And make sure you use the blu phone to format the card.

 

[Rgarner]

How much smaller do you mean? I have no way of backing up the card, and if I format it, I lose whatever's on it. That's nearly half a tb, not happening.

use your chromebook to save your sd card. you should always format the sd card whenever you get a new phone. this ensures that the new phone will be able to recognize the card. i always do this.....no idea how the sd card will work on the new phone.

i do not think it will hurt just to put the sd card in and see what will happen.
