Windows 10: Formatting micro SD card for use on laptop.

Hi. My laptop has a slot for a micro SD card that I wish to put to use. Based on reviews, I purchased a Samsung 256 GB 100MB/s MicroSDXC EVO card. I plan on storing and playing my music from it, and photos on it since I have limited space on the SSD. Before I start moving everything over I was wondering which format type to use, as I've been told they can be painfully slow.

Just to be clear, I'm NOT using this for a backup solution, just for companion storage.

Thanks in advance!

Micro SD Card won't format


Hi

Edited below as had the card in backwards but still not working

Had an issue today where my Micro SD Card got corrupted somehow. See this thread for what I posted earlier in case need more details

http://https://www.tenforums.com/dri...corrupted.html

Anyways I got what I could and was then going to format the SD disk so I could use it again but having some issues. When I tried formatting it on the phone it got to 20% and just stopped.

OK Have edited from here down

OK so I had the card in backwards but even turned right side F drive for my SD card does not display a drive in fact now when I try and Right click the F drive to format the dish explorer just spins and spins

I also tried right clicking MY PC and then manage and disk management but same thing it never loads the disk directory at all showing the drives.

Any idea why this would freeze up like this because of this SD disk?

Thanks
Dave
