How to Use Your SD Card as Internal Storage on Razer Edge & any Android Device
27Unlock the full potential of your Razer Edge or any Android device by converting your SD card into internal storage! In this comprehensive guide, I'll show you step-by-step how to set it up, so you can maximize your device's storage capacity and keep all your favorite apps and files with you.
What You’ll Need:
SD Card (I recommend 256GB—while 1TB does work, I’ve run into rare but annoying issues. I couldn’t test 512GB).
ADB installed on your computer.
Important Notes:
This process formats the SD card, erasing all data.
After setup, don’t move system files to the SD card when prompted—it will cause bootloops! Just choose “No” when it asks if you want to move everything.
Afterward, new apps will auto-install on the SD card. If an app doesn’t work well from there, you can manually move it to internal storage, and vice versa.
Steps:
Enable Developer Options and USB Debugging:
Go to Settings, About Phone, and tap on Build Number 7 times to unlock Developer Options.
Then go to Settings, Developer Options, and turn on USB Debugging.
Install ADB on Your Computer:
If you haven’t yet, install ADB. Minimal ADB and Fastboot will work fine.
Connect Your Device to the Computer:
Connect the Razer Edge to your computer via USB.
Accept the prompt on your device to allow USB debugging.
Open ADB on Your Computer:
Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot on your computer.
Type "adb devices" to check if your device is connected. If it’s recognized, it will show up in the list. If not, ensure drivers are correctly installed.
Find Your SD Card’s ID:
Type "adb shell sm list-disks" to list available disks. You’ll see a disk ID like disk:179,64 or something similar.
Convert the SD Card to Internal Storage:
Type "adb shell sm partition disk:179,64 private" (replacing disk:179,64 with your SD card’s ID from the previous step). This will format the SD card and set it as internal storage.
After Setup:
All new apps will install to the SD card by default. If an app has issues, you can move it back to internal storage through the device’s storage settings.
This guide is super straightforward! Just replace the SD card ID in the commands with the one you get, and you’re done. Enjoy!
