Can I access a sdxc card just like an external hd?

I just got a new macbook pro (woot!!) and it has a sdxc card slot.  I was wondering if I can access it just like an external hard drive?  I do a lot of music production work and have a lot of sample libraries, it would be great if I could just use a 128GB sdxc card instead of having to lug around an external.
Is it faster since its solid state memory?  Will this work?
Thanks

I'm not sure it will be faster.. it really depends on the speed of the card itself. The highest class rating is 10.. which simply means 10mb/sec read/write speed (I'm pretty sure is 10mb/sec, it may be 15..).. however many cards boast faster performance which is why you'll see 133x 150x 200x 400x even 600x, the price tag will reflect the performance difference. Most of these speeds will be comperable to usb 2.0, but slower than usb 3.0, firewire 800 and thunderbolt. It is flash media.. but it doesn't necessarily mean you will be operating at ssd speeds. If you're using it for your sampling library you should be fine.

  • Can you access the Time Capsule just like a normal HD?

    I'm wondering if the Time Capsule can only be used for backup or can you partition it and use it like regular external hard drive?

    I don't use TM on my TC. I use TC as my net server. I use the Finder to drag and drop files to the TC. I also use TC to share files long distance with my children who are away.
    I since removed the 500 gig hd and placed a 250 gig in the TC.
    I've swapped a one terabyte hard drive into the TC also which was very quick and simple.
    You are not going to partition a TC hard drive unless you pull it and partition the hard drive say in a firewire or usb enclosure or internal in a MacPro.

  • Its not a question, but i just hope someone from apple can read this, i just wish you can make a card just like itunes card, for ipad wi-fi card. would be convenience.

    its not a question, but i just hope someone from apple can read this, i just wish you can make a card just like itunes card, for ipad wi-fi card. would be convenience.

    That's why he gave you the link to make the suggestion.
    But returning to your proposal ... Apple does not sell any of the "wifi" connections. It would be up to providers of service to sell giftcards, and perhaps Boingo or some of other airport-commercial WiFi firms do. I can't think of any other place I've been asked to pay for WiFi.
    Now Verizon and AT&T, as well as other providers in other countries, could sell Gift Cards... and again, perhaps they do, but you'll have to check with them or make the suggestions there. It's really not an Apple issue, as they don't sell or provide any connections, just the hardware to make them.

  • Can not access the media card files Blackberry 8310 - HELP

    Can not access the media card files Blackberry 8310.
     I had a battery drain problem. The unit would only last 16 hours before completely drained. Purchased a new battery with the same result. I figured that I should try a complete reset so I did a hard wipe. Once that was done and I loaded the unit back up and returned online, the battery drain problem was resolved but now I can not access the media card.
     Here are the messages:
     “A media card has been inserted that contains encrypted content which will be unaccessible by this device”
     I can see the files. I have transferred them to my PC via the SD card but I can not open them. Here are the settings:
     Media card support – ON
    Encryption Mode: - Security Password & Device
    Encrypt Media Files – YES
    Mass Storage Mode Support – OFF
     Please note – I can not change the encryption mode since it is set by policy
     Security Options – General Settings – Content Protection – Disabled
     The version of Desktop Manage I am using is 4.2.1.8. When I try to use the Media Manager to move the files, I get an error message and can’t move the file. If I access the file on the card and try to display it, I get:
     Unable to display file /media card/ pictures/ing000000xx.jpg.rem
     Here is what I have tried (from the advice on this board):
     1)     Read the files directly off the media card – No good
    2)     Create a “new” folder on the media card and move a file into it then try to read it – No good
    3)     Email the file then read it – No good
    4)     Reset Encryption mode to off then try – Can’t do it – IT Policy setting
    5)     Be sure that the password was set the same as before the wipe (setting is password & device) – Can’t do it – The Blackberry prevents me from using an old password.
     So I think I can’t read the files because I can’t replicate the encryption key. Could that be right? My problem is that I do not understand why this would be the case. It is still the same device and since it knows what the old password was (because it would prevent me from using it again), why would it not generate a key to access the files?
     All I am trying to get off the card are pictures on my 6 year old … some are priceless. Can someone help me do this? One would think that this should not be this hard but from all the postings I have found, it seems that it is. And yes, shame on me for not moving the files before I did the reset (THAT will never happen again!) but this being unrecoverable is unconscionable given how many seem to find themselves in this situation.
     Thanks for any help you can offer!

    Not sure why you couldn't see them using mass storage mode. Did you have the pics stored on your media card? Try going to media-menu-explore-media card-blackberry-pictures See what the extension is on your pics. If any have the extension such as .jpg.rem they are encrypted.

  • HP ENVY 17t Quad - SD Card Reader - can it utilize an SDXC Card

    I have the H Envy 17t Quad . Can it properly and safely utilize an SDXC Card?

    My Camcorder uses an SDXC  64 Gb card. I don't want to put the card into the 17T reader if it can't read the SDXC card since there is a potential for the SDXC card to be damaged by a reader which can't properly access an SDXC card.

    Good Morning mykejb,
    As I stated your specifications do not state the exact cards it supports.  I regret that  I am unable to give you a yes or no answer.
      If you check around the card reader itself, sometimes on the bottom of the notebook, it will list the supported card types.  If not all I can suggest is try and see.   If it seems if the card is too small for the slot, you may need an adapter for an SDXC card.
    Here is a link to SD/SDHC/SDXC Specifications and Compatibility( from scan disk support).  Please note this quote"NOTE: Internal card readers on laptops from 2008 and prior may NOT support SDXC cards. SDXC cards will work in SDHC compatible readers (not SD readers) if the computer OS supports exFAT. For more information on exFat see: Operating Systems that support the exFAT File System"

    Thank you for your prompt reply!
    I was afraid you were going to tell me to do a hard reset! Unfortunately, I've never hot sync this phone before (I don't use it as a palm, only as a phone and occasionally play some of the games) so I don't have the program on my computer to back up my data. Given that I'm traveling (and never anticipated something like this) I did not bring the CD or the wire. Someone is in the process of mailing them to me.
    In the meantime, you mentioned checking the memory? Although I don't think I'm short on memory space given that I don't really "save" anything on this device, I am desperate enough to try anything while waiting for the software to arrive. How do I go about checking the memory?
    Once again thank you so much for your help.

  • Can i use excel at iPad just like what we do at Mac? Please advise what is the best app. even  paid.

    I don't know whether iPad had any app to work just like excel programme?

    There are a number of apps that are compatible with Office documents. Apple makes iOS versions of their own iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) that can be purchased separately. There are also 3rd party combined suites that cost less than the separate Apple apps. Ones often recommended include Documents 2 Go,  Quickoffice and Office2 HD. None have all the features and functions of Excel.
    If you can accept needing a network connection whenever you want to use the apps and have an Office 365 subscription, Microsoft has just released their Office Mobile app, though it has significant limitations. Or a server-based solution such as CloudOn might be an option for you.
    Regards.

  • I have an iPad 2 and I was wondering if you could/if you can send music by via Bluetooth just like an android is it possible?

    CAn you send music or other files like that by Bluetooth from one apple device to another?

    Not possible. Bluetooth in iOS does not support file transfer.
    Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree
    telephone devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer
    apps from the app store and internet tethering where provided
    by the carrier. Other than this it will not connect to a
    phone/computer/device.  (thanks to ckuan for the wording)

  • I can't access to a shared folder on a external HD plugged to a winXP PC

    Hy,
    First, sorry for my "frenchy english".
    My Macbook runs with Mavericks and I can't access to a folder which is shared on a external HD plugged to a PC with windows XP. That was possible with my old Macbook with 10.5.
    For the shared folders which are in the internal HD of the PC, no problem.
    I precise that I would like accessing with the "Shared" menu in Finder sidebar. If I use "Connect to Server", I'm able to see in the folder, but not to open the "children folders", excepted if I reuse "Connect to Server", by complementing the path, etc..
    Thank's for your help.

    " if you use Connect to Server once, you can see the folder, but can't open it"
    I can open it and see files and folders in it, but I can't open these folders.
    "Connect to Server a second time and enter the path"
    When I use "Connect to Server" a second time, that's to enter the path of one of the folders which are in the shared folder. Then I see its content, but I can't open the contained folders, etc..
