Read up on the cards. Most people think class 10 is the best but class 4 is faster at random read and write speeds.

10 is better for transferring large files. 4 is better for music, pictures, Apps, etc

I have that card. I've had to return it once since it just magically died one day in my OG Evo. Probably didn't help that I flashed ROMs daily. If you have problems with the card, Wintec will take several weeks to send you a new one. Definitely good for large file transfers as mentioned above.

I also have this card and have had it corrupt once. I reformatted it and it is fine. The write speeds are always right around 10 MB/s. And the read speeds sit at about 18-20 Mb/s. So if u backup you card regularly and don't mind possibly having to reformat it then go for it.

I've Went through two they suck the rep said anything higher than a class 4 would keep crapping out on android phones its on the website same with kingston

looks like they got you squared away...sorry to steal your thread btw but whats better wentec 16gb class 10 or partiot 16gb class 10??

i had that card in my OG Evo and aside from an occasional reformat, it worked pretty good. I put it in my 3VO and BOOOOM... it died and wouldn't recover... I say for the 3VO, use at your own risk.

I need one exactly for theses reasons like music, photos and apps. So I guess a class 4 is better.

I've had two of them, one in EVO, one in EVO shift, and their 32gb class 10 is in my 3d. No issues ever. 32gb gives maybe 15mbs write and closer to 25-30 read.

I've had that same card for over 6 months now and no problems whatsoever. I use it in my Asus Transformer for extra storage now, but used it in my OG Evo for a while and in my NS4G. Like I said never a problem for me. I do remember the thread on the OG evo board and a lot of folks did have problems though.

What size is the included sd card that is removable?

What size is the SD card? Picking my EVOLTE up on Saturday wondering if I need to pick up a new sd card as well. Currently have a 16gb class 6
Sent via XDA Premium
From the unboxings that I have seen none of them mention it including one, but I am not positive.
0GB class 0.
It doesn't come with an external like the OG evo did.
So you'll need to supply your own.
Anything up to 64gb works just fine. I wouldn't recommend anything under a class 6.

The internal sd storage is plenty for most users, and that's probably why.
But I just stuck my 8gb from the Evo 3d and now have more storage than I'll ever need lol. I'm a relatively light user.

Bc by not providing a 16gb ext sd Sprint added an extra $10 profit for each phone sold. Duh. It's just a way to cut a corner. I assume it's the same reason for the 18" useless power cable.

You already got an lte. Man I'm really going to have to get one now.
I'm sure I would and so would most people who care about an external sd card would put more then they would have giving with the phone. I still have all my cards that came with phones in the past just sitting in a box somewhere cause I would put at least a 16 gb card in it.

Correct MicroSD card format

Does anyone have a SanDisk 64gb class 10 micro sdxc in there s3? I'm trying to determine what's the correct format. The card comes as exfat, so did you just leave it like that and put it in your phone or what? I've seen some people say they have errors and others not have any problems at all. Just post here what your experience is so we can have a good reference.

Put it in, if it doesn't work you'll have to format it with the phone. My 64GB class 10 gave me issues in my last phone, but none in the gs3.

Does sd card effects the performance of the phone??????

Hi guys I'm planning to buy an 32gb class 10 sd card and want 2 know that does this effect the performance of the phone in any way ?????????
And any suggestions for the best sd card????????

It affects the performance this much |_| ...you decide.
Your card might be a class whatever. The output of:
/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb
and
/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:16/read_ahead_kb
affect the read ahead performance however. The card by itself is a load of old ****.
Ignore the people who have bought themselves a big waste of money.
Huge difference. Stupid serial access synthetic benchmarks as detailed above are of no relevance. Of course faster access medium is better. Like the difference between an HD and an ssd. Anyone saying otherwise has no idea what they are talking about.

Proof of any measurable positive impact on an SIII from such a card? Not waffle... proof.
Good luck with that. I have a 32Gb Class 10... no difference whatsoever from a poxy class 2 2Gb card.

Don't be ridiculous. Why not go on and argue that a 2mhz processor is just as good as a 1.4ghz quad core one? Simple logic and a very minor understanding of science will confirm it.
I edited my post as you were posting...
Where is your proof though
I'm not holding my breath though.

Rubbish. Of course a class 2 card is slower than a class 10. Proof? Look at any benchmark or try it yourself. Your argument is akin to arguing that a car with a top speed of 100mph and 0 to 60 of 20 seconds is just as fast as one with a top speed of 200mph and a 0 to 60 of 5 seconds. Get a grip. God there are some muppets on this forum....
It was to my understanding that a class 2 means that it will at least write at 2MB/s. It is by all means not limited to 2MB/s. Am I wrong?

The card doesn't control the read-write rate. The ROM does.
You are correct though. Example: A Lamborghini will do, let's say 180 mph... but the driver may never go above 50.
EDIT: I'm looking forward to seeing Dr Pepper's stats and data though.

Anything above class 4 is a waste of money for me. (class 4 is sufficient for HD recording.)
So in between this argument what do u guys think what should i do should i go for class 2 card or a class 10 ????????

It doesnt affect the performance because all if the phones data is stored in its internal Card which is much faster than any external card

See.. Cards performance will only be affected if you store game Data on the extsdcard.. Even then class 4 would be good enough.. If you don't want to buy class 10 buy a class 4 sdcard.. You won't notice any major speed differences

If you're recording hd video onto your card then you'll be better off with a class 10. Other than that, it won't affect the performance of your phone at all if you get a slower card.

And tranfer files from sdcard to microsd.
Enviado de uma GalaxyaS3 far far away
I've had lags+stutters while recording video at 1080 and superfine quality directly to my class 6 SD card. Those videos were quite long (10-15 min).
Changing storage location to phone memory removes all the lags. I'm planning to change mine to class 10 soon.
Other than this, I don't see any real performance issue with lower class sd card; at least for me anyway.

What micro SD should I get?

I take hundreds of photos and videos with my phone. Now that I've got more storage space in my drop box and turned on Camera Upload, I can clear out old media from my micro sd for new ones to take and the old ones would still be saved to my drop box.
What kind of micro sd (size and class#) would be best for this kind of use?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
First of all, this threads needs more info abiut what you prefer.
Budget? You prefer speed over memory? Your phone etc.
Anyways.. i would recommend you go for a class 10 sd card .. size of which depends on you. You are a better judge for how much memory you require.

Sandisk 32GB class 10 microSDHC. $23.99 from Amazon. I think the price has gone up slightly to $30, but that's still a great price for a regular price $100 card. They also have 64GB class 10 microSDHC cards as well although I can't recall the price.

It would if your upload speed is much much greater than the transter/write speed of your sd card.

SD Card problems

I just received my 32 GB micro SD and I'm gonna put it in my note. I had a 16Gb. When I put in the 32gb it slowed down and my phone would freeze more often. I am running Liquid Smooth Jelly Bean 4.1.2 RC8. Ima format the 32gb so it can fresh it out. Should I reflash my ROM since I've upgraded the storage?
Sent from my SGH-I717 using xda premium
Did you move any system function or apps onto your ad card? I would put in the 32 and format and partition it, then take everything off the 16 and put it on the 32. Then report back your findings.
BTW- did you buy the same class card?

Had one of my 32gb micro's crap out on me today. Of course it was my more valuable to me card. Popped it my laptop to grab some files for a new Novena flash only to get a "must be formatted." Fired up testdisk 6.13 to have a peek at the partition before panic set in, just to find it detected as 32mb. Was a genuine Sandisk. Not impressed. Can't for the life me get the partition repaired. I'm fine with taking the data loss now, but can't get it to format. Going to try HP Drive Key Boot Utility once I borrow someone's WiFi in the a.m.

i read a thread here in the forums, cant post the link though, "sd card becomes lil slower when the memory is almost full or completely full..
btw go for class 10 which gives 10Mb/s r/w speed...class 2 is very slow...
so even if the memory card is 8gb class 10 it will show some performance..but 32gb class4 will be fine..but at some times u will feel it has become rather slow.." i didnt see if you mentioned what class the SD card was. hope this helps a little.
My genuine 32GB SanDisk MicroSDHC UHS-1 Class 10 card did the same thing almost immediately after I got it in Septemeber. It eventually died after two months of use. SanDisk RMA'd it, and I'm waiting for the replacement. I'm expecting that the replacement will also die... I think our phones is killing these SanDisk UHS-1 cards.
Mine was a week shy of a year old. Be my last SanDisk. Doubt it's our Notes doing it though. Had mine in and out of a Captivate, S2, Note dozens of times.

This thread is defeinetly interesting. I originally had a patriot 16GB class 10 (excellent card BTW), as I began to run out of storage I decided to buy this sandisk ultra 32GB HC1 supposebly read/write speeds are better than class 10? Wrong.. my speeds dropped even with tinkering with system tuner/ SD settings didn't seem to help much.. I have screenshots somewhere of both cards tested and compared.Well besides that One month goes by and my device kept trying to randomly read and scan the card as if I just turned the phone on? Games and apps wouldn't start saying app not installed? Eventually the card crapped out asking for a reformat, luckily I backed up the card before it crashed. I sent it back to Sandisk they RMA'ed me a second one I'm using now.. going on two weeks no issues so far. I'm thinking maybe there's a bad lot out there?
