Review on πŸ“· High-Performance Sandisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Camera Card (SDSDQUI-064G-A11) by John Sharma

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Doesn't work with Raspbian "wheezy " 2/9/2013 Build

I was looking for a high speed 64GB microSD card for my Raspberry Pi. I saw success in one of the reviews here and that's why I bought this card. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work. I am using a 512MB Model B board. I tried the latest Raspbian "Wheezy" download and Incredible PBX. I've tried both the included and my own microSD to SD adapter. I even used other partitioning software to clean the partitions. None of them worked. In the end I lost all hope of using this board in a Raspberry Pi. Two years ago I decided to use the card in my HTC EVO 3D mobile phone and the 16GB card is running out. Surprisingly, this card works great in my phone. After formatting, it shows 59 GB. I then remapped the 16GB card from my Raspberry Pi phone. It started immediately and worked great even through numerous configuration changes and reboots. I can say that the problem was in the card. I have no idea how the other reviewer managed that. There could be differences in the processing quality. I do not know.
