Yeah! Got It from XDA....                                    

It's a good article but the thing is it's unclear whether it's fine to do it because there can be some negative outcomes of this procedure as well. If Asus haven't delivered this feature than there might be some grim reason after all. But anyway nice article

Yes! Beta Moderators still have this question... You may use this if you have Class 10 SD card.... Those who have 16 GB internal storage should use this to move app data to SD....

great post....
I had a few questions before doing it


1. Can I transfer files from SD Card to computer via USB cable like the way we transfer from internal?


2. What will happen if the SD card is removed by mistake when it is formatted as internal ? will the phone work?


3. If I want the SD card back how can I get it? will formatting do?
