You have the internal memory that came with the unit; 8gb, 16gb or 32gb.  Which ever you spent your money on. Then there's the SD memory card and the flash drive or memory stick. I opted for the 8 gb Thrive.  That's all I can afford. Later, I bought 64 gb SDXC card and I keep it permanently installed.  Whenever you download something, it goes on your internal memory.  I then transfer it to the SD card and erase it from the internal memory so I have headspace for more downloadings. If I want to transfer data to another computer, I hook up the thrive directly via USB cable if possible.  Otherwise, I load a flash drive, give it to a friend and let him run with it.

So if I just put in a bigger SD card it automatically configs so that the Thrive uses it as internal RAM, or do I always have to transfer stuff back and forth?
