An issue with the SD card

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Thanks for suggestions. None of what you said is relevant or related to this issue. It’s just a hardware failure.

1. yes fat32 just allows a max of 4gb files
2. exfat not supported in this android kernel, so only working is fat32 for both win and android
3. you can have two partitions, but windows just allows one partition on sd cards so it wont see the 2nd, also mounting with more than one under android also doesn’t always work automatically
4. of course you can do that, but I wouldn’t plug in lots of times into the micro usb, it seems to be really bad quality and will fail really fast

OK, so unless I am just unlucky I should not have a problem then. I am rather averse to hardware problems on tablets, my last computer had an unrepairable SSD after only twenty months.

I understand what you are saying about repeatedly plugging in USB drives. That is why I am so satisfed with the design of my new (very cheap) USB hub —– it has 7 ports each with its own switch and light. I leave my usb drives and two SD cards plugged in more or less permanently and just switch them on / off as required, so no wear at all. I was going to buy a similar one for USB 3 but will wait for the machine to be delivered as it may not be required.
