One thing I would try before determining the actual source of the problem is to take the microSD card, put it in a card reader/adapter (most cards come now with an adapter anyway), and try formatting it in a laptop or PC. That will determine if the card is bad, the formatting was bad, or the T100 has a problem. Once formatted, retry using it in the tablet.Quote:

Can the Micro SD Card play MKV Full HD (1080p) without stuttering, etc.?
Thanks
Absolutely, 1080p streams usually are 20-30 Mbps. You don't even need a Class 10 Micro SD card for that.
Great. Thanks :=)
You're welcome. I'd still get a Class 10 card, though. Just in case.
In general you should be just fine. A class 10 card with at least 30Mbps playback speed works flawless for 1080p HD playback on the T100 - I use that capability all the time and have more than 36 hours of content stored on my Sandisk SDHC Class 10 microSD card.Quote:

i'll also confirm no issues when using a decent quality microSD card for 1080p mkv playback
I haven't seen this mentioned but maybe I missed it. If you are using the external SD slot as a permanent extended storage drive you really want to make sure that the write cache is enabled on the controller. By default it is not turned on and the card is treated as removable media.
It's simple:
First make sure you have the SD Card plugged in and make sure it is recognized.
1) Go to Control Panel -> Device Manager (or just Win Key and Pause and select Device Manager on left).
2) Under Disk Drives you should see 2 items listed. One is the internal drive and the other should be called Generic...SD Card (depending on the model).
Attachment 6825
3) Double Click the correct controller and open the Policies tab. Check off Better Performance and click OK. You may need to restart but it's probably not necessary. Note that if you should need to remove the drive in the future you will need to safely remove hardware by ejecting the media using the icon in the notification area of the desktop.
I haven't run any benchmarks but I am loading programs from the SD Card and it feels just as fast as loading from the internal card.
P.S. If you don't see the option for "better performance" but instead see "Turn Off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device" you are looking at the wrong controller (internal card) -- select the other controller. Btw, if you are wondering on if you should enable that buffer flushing on the internal card - Don't Do It!! It can cause corruption should the system ever lose power or crash and reboot.
