Surface Pro 2 Sd Slot
For storage I will be using the 2 TB drive from my previous working pc, a Dell Presicion M6500 17' monster, as a data disk connected by USB to the server in my house. In working hours the Surface will be hooked up to the new Surface docking, with two monitors, wired network and other niceties. I have also bought a 128 gig Micro SD card, and since I am a bit anal when it comes to backups I wanted to put that to double use. Because I do not take image backups from within Windows. Never. Don't trust them. So I took a 500 meg part of it for a Windows PE setup based on 8.1 ADK and used Acronis True Image to make the PE. No dice. No way to get the thing to boot from it. I have been using a smallish USB stick for this so far (I think it's 16 gig, or something like that), and I have been able to boot, but not without problems. It has to be plugged into the USB port on the side of the unit itself to boot. Not one of the ports in the Surface Docking, and not through an USB hub. That just doesn't work, the unit doesn't see it.
Can anybody tell me if I'm doing something wrong, or if it's simply impossible to boot from a card? I had the idea that the card reader probably was a part of the USB setup, but I may be wrong. It's so hard to see what's going on when I don't see any POST messages, as I'm used to (yeah, I'm old - been in computers since the Commodore 64, with almost all generations of Intel and AMD processors behind me in some computer or other).
- Insert a USB flash drive or other USB storage device into the USB port, or insert a microSD or SD card into the card slot on your Surface. Select the notification that appears in the lower-right corner of the screen. Select Open device to view files or Sync digital media files to this device.
- I've had problems with my Surface Pro unmounting large sdcards (128gb, now 200gb) since SP1/SP2, and now my SP3 began doing it every 5 minutes or so, or when it wakes from sleep. Hardware replacement via Microsoft Complete fixes the issue, but it also has something to do with the RealTek drivers, and eventually begins to recur with every.
- Perhaps this is typical, or normal, by my SDXC card slot has the standard SanDisk 128GB MicroSD card inside it, and whilst using HD Tune Pro, Im getting 30-40MB/sec read/write times, which are mainly 'burst' rates, as the rate drops every few seconds and then spikes anywhere between 30-40MB, which needless to say makes for error-prone writing.
Because the Surface Go 2's storage capacity is relatively limited (the SSD is only 128GB), it's a device that significantly benefits from the large amount of storage that a microSD card can. Insert a USB flash drive or other USB storage device into the USB port, or insert a microSD or SD card into the card slot on your Surface. Select the notification that appears in the lower-right corner of the screen. Select Open device to view files or Sync digital media files to this device.

No, it doesn’t. Unlike traditional Surface Pro, Surface Pro X doesn’t have a MicroSD card slot. However in return, it comes with a removable SSD hard drive, so you can easily swap it for a bigger one when needed.
