    I have Android KitKat Tablet and I got a Micro SD Card.

    I called them up to help me Format the Card in the Tablet.

    They told me you can not do this in the Tablet you have to Format the Card on a Computer.

    Should I Format the Card in XFAT?

    And some people tell me they use 64 GB Cards and some say Android can not see 64 GB witch is it?

    FAT32 - up to 32GB capacity.
    exFAT - greater than 32GB capacity.

    The maximum capacity depends on the device and the Android version.

    READ your manual. It tells you the maximum size that your tablet allows. It varies from tablet to tablet so it doesn't help to say "I have a tablet running KitKat". You need to say I have a brand name and model tablet running KitKat.

    One of my tablets allows up to 64GB; the other allows up to 200GB.

    I have a 64 GB Micro SD Card.

    And yes they tell me it will only see 32 GB.

    But whenever I talk to any Tech. People they tell me All Androids will see 64 GB and Higher.

    I had a 500 GB SATA Drive I pluged into my Tablet with a USB Adapter Cable.
    And my Tablet did not see it.

    And even this people tell me it should see it.

    And they say with no other programs.

    I just want to know who is telling me right Information?
    Thanks for the time.

    I am not sure, but I think you have to transfer files to the SD card and then plug that into the computer.

    I have edited my previous post so you can read the manual for yourself.

    Does this SATA drive have it's own power source?

    Who is "they"? If it is something you read on the internet, forget it. There is as much wrong info out there as correct info.
    Trust the manual or contact tech support.

    I have a very old HP digital camera. The manual said it will accept up to 128 MB. The problem was, you could not buy sd cards that small. The smallest I could find was 256 MB. So I contacted tech support. Tech support informed me that the camera was later tested with a 256 MB sd card and it worked. I wrote that as an addition to the manual. I then bought a few 256 MB sd cards. Of course, you can't find any of those any more.

    To get anything USB recognized, you have to use an OTG cable, not an adapter. The android device must support OTG. Does yours? If you aren't sure, ask tech support.

    My tablets have OTG ability. I attached a powered USB hub and could use a USB mouse, USB keyboard, USB stick and a USB portable external hard drive.
