Which SD is supported on Sailfish??
there are differences between Samsung SD, Transcend SD or SanDisk SD or Lexar SD???
thanks

apart from price and Class (e.g. write/read spead) there should be no difference what brand you choose.

64gb Cards are said to be working. i'm sporting a 32gb full of music and it works fine.

I'm using a sandisk 32GB SDHC which has worked fine even though I hadn't formatted it - just used from the last phone I had with all the same files (mainly music/some photos).

As discussed on other posts, it has been reported to work, although you're probably going to have to format it to fat32 first -- exfat is not supported.

If you try to format your SDXC 64 GB card in windows, it will fail because it is crippeld.
Either use Linux to format it. I formated mine (using Ubuntu) for FAT. This did the trick for me. The Gallery and Documents apps (Jolla apps) does see files I copied to the 64GB SDXC card after I inserted in my Jolla.

I have a Sandisk 64GB micro SDXC in mine. As standard the card is formatted
to the exFAT standard which Jolla can't read.
I reformatted mine via an SDXC compatible USB card reader plugged into my Windows XP laptop.
I used a small utility that can format any size drive to a single FAT32 partition

My phone now sees the card as a single 64gb space. My Jolla's media player and gallery pick up the images and videos perfectly!

I have a SanDisk Ultra 64GB SDXC card. At the moment it is formatted as btrfs. With the original release version on sailfish, Jolla automatically mounted the card and I was able to play music from it. With the latest release, it does not, so I need to mount the card manually from the terminal. Yeah, I know, I could format it to FAT, but I could also tweak my Jolla so that it will mount the btrfs -formatted card automatically again. I have not decided yet which way to go. I might test other filesystems first (like EXT4).
