Memory card showed up perfectly in everything. Is working prior before the new update? We need Aces to update the from where on the 3 19 We need update or patches one microSD not showing up.

Number one reason I will not recommend that Fran is due to the heating. Extreme use Sam disk is the best. You have to get the red and black one.

This is gonna go viral … but I got an easier way I believe… If you disable the micro sd in device management and enable it again it will ask you do you wanna configure it to windows you just click it and it’s ready for installs

I believe it is always on when gaming while plugged in. From the Asus website: The ROG Ally supports bypass charging, so when you play plugged into the wall, the battery will be completely bypassed to protect its lifespan.

You somewhat glossed over NTFS versus exFAT. Any thoughts on that? My understanding is that exFAT can be faster for external drives. Not sure how that related to the SD slot on the Ally.

@RypperGaming

Жыл бұрын

With this being a Windows device, NTFS is preferred. But exFAT can be used as well and I actually just looked into it and it seems exFAT is better for power and memory management. I think either will work fine, but I usually stick with NTFS.

@insanenetsurfer

Жыл бұрын

exFAT allows the storage device to be used across many different platforms such as linux/android/mac - as of late many devices can read NTFS but cannot write to it. That is why external drives come preformatted as exFAT. NTFS is more reliable then exFAT but requires slightly more overhead to use as well.

@@RypperGaming hmm, I belive your incorrect about game performance and stuttering. PCs preload textures and shaders into system and VRAM. What I believe you're thinking of is "Direct Storage" technology. Commonly found on current Gen consoles. This technology hasn't been implemented in any meaningful way on PCs because it requires an additional chipset on motherboards that allow the GPU to bypass the CPU. Furthermore, even though DirextX 12 supposedly supports Direct Storage, no PC games would make use of it because it will limit their customer base to only those with hardware to support it. Alienating the majority of PC gamers. The only real disadvantage to slower Storage media, is loading times, as well as file transfers/downloads. This mmakes for lackluster performance, but isn't an "issue".
