    I thought you could partition the SD card and android would be happy as long as there was one fat32 part.

    It seems exfat seems to be the file system of choice in the simple solutions.

    I usually eject the SD card for transferring files as it can be painfully slow through the tablet, but I guess I could use my Mac with a few tweaks, potentially a virtualbox, even boot to a Linux distro on a USB?

    I use WiFi transferring for files. I find it quick enough and it means you don't have to use USB. Never encountered issues file transfer limits, but then again I never transfered files bigger than 50 MB as it was mostly songs.

    I stuck a new 64GB drive in and it formatted it as FAT32 and works without issue.

    I ran Mint Linux and tried to format the drive as EXT2 with Gparted and it doesn't seem to want to play ball. Just seems to refuse the format for some strange reason.

    NTFS does not work, it says the file system is unsupported.

    Surely the binary translation issue is going to eat both perf and battery?

    IE 99(maybe even a .9)% of tablets are arm based, when this is x86.

    Isn't in reality, just a jumbo emulator?

    I finally got the card formatted with EXT2 primary partition and it still says unsupported looks like we are stuck with FAT32!

    I formatted mine with FAT on my mac book and it's working perfectly in my Z1 - not sure if you've covered the fact it won't work with the hudl but I can try it in the hudl when I get a chance.

    Just another stage when ARM based devices are already translating most stuff from Dalvic to ARM. Here is it either translating Dalvic to i386 or ARM to i386.

    I think the hope is that when devices go from Dalvic to ART then performance will improve across the board and native ARM stuff will be less popular.

    So the core is probably AMD64, with a Java to i386 translator on top. The ARM to i386 will be a minority of code, some of which I believe Intel have already had built as native 386 code as an alternative.

    FAT32 works fine, if you stick the card into the Hudl it will format it and run off FAT32 no problems, its just the 4GB file limitation that is a bit annoying as it means i will have to transcode films into lower quality to allow them fit on this tablet. Not sure if thats a real deal-breaker for me or not... probably not.

    There's an option on OS X called MS Dos (FAT) - > that's what I chose. I'm unsure about 4GB file size limits, however. I'll have a look when I'm home. As far as I know, it's working perfectly.

    Oh okay - my bad. With different naming I wasn't sure. It's crazy how there are file size limitations!
