Hey everyone, just wanted to get some opinions before I purchase a new sd card. I originally had a 32 gb class 10 Patriot micro sd but I've lost it and looking to replace it with something different. I have been looking into the SanDisk 32gb and 64gb uhs class 1 micro sds the same but not really sure yet so leave your opinion on what sd card you are using and how the experience has been with it.
Thanks everyone

I got the 64 GB SanDisk Class 10 and it works great. No complaints so far. Haven't done any speed tests but I can watch movies from it with no lag & transferring files from PC to phone is pretty quick. So I would definitely recommend it. Before this I was using the Lexar 32 GB Class 10 and would also recommend that as well.

I'm using the sandisk 64 GB UHS class one card as well, and I've been very pleased with it. I've had no problems watching videos, saving pics and videos is quick, and in general I've had no problems. I just ran two tests in SD card tester, and I'm getting 16.2 MB/s and 16.6 MB/s reading and 6 MB/s and 12.91 MB/s for writing (that first test seemed low as I know I've tested it at more than 10 MB/s writing before, so I ran it again).
never had a problem with sandisk cards in my phones.

I own and use SanDisk ultra 64gb class 10 on my EVO 4g LTE and it runs great for the most part.
Though make sure you leave atleast 2-3gb of free space on it because if you fill it up full, the performance drops to the floor (less than 1mbytes/sec in write speed).
Also, if you happen to download a lot of stuff or change file names or move around files a lot on your sdcqrd, I discovered that it could also drop the performance of you sd card as it doesn't have trim to keep up performance like on ssd's. The simple fix for it would be to unmount and remount it under settings.
I would say, it is a good and reliable card as I didn't have any corrupted files even when I filled the card full

I have the SanDisk UHS-1 64GB micro-sd card. It is NOT a Class 1, like mentioned earlier!! It is comparable to a Class 10, if not faster!! I got mine on Amazon for $41 shipped, and got it in less than a week. Its great, I highly recommend it. I actually got 2, one for my EVO LTE and one for my Asus Infinity(TF700T). I upgraded to them from two SanDisk Class 4 32GB cards. HUGE improvement!!!

I picked up a 32 GB one also since they are 24.99 at radii shack. And from what I've read about them they ate suppose to be writable at class 10 speed or more and readable at ultra speed class 1 for video... But overall you can't beat the price

I will second what leo said. Have had the Sandisk class 10 64gb for a while now and it works flawlessly. Amazon has them under $47
I've had two Sandisk microsd cards, a 16gb class 4, and a 64gb class 10, both failed. The second one I left overnight in my Sandisk usb reader overnight plugged into my laptop. Luckily, Sandisk sent me a new one quickly. But, I was un-aware of the fact that Sandisk sells microsd cards much faster than their Ultra cards. More money=more speed. Check-out their site for more details. Turns out, Ultra cards are one of their slowest cards.

Kingston is good. Not quite on par with Sandisk.
I recently bought a PNY 16GB Class 10 (after reading reviews from other EVO 3D owners) so that I can use the DConfig in Synergy to move Dalvik to SD card. Guess we will see how that works out.
I have seen consistent statements across numerous threads from here, PPCGeeks, AndroidForums, etc about the how the quality/speed of the SD card affects performance. Not to be taken lightly!

Firmbiz, I have tried PNY, San Disk and Lexar SDs and all seemed to work to varying degrees. I just upgraded to a 32GB Class 10 TOPRAM micro SDHC and it works fantastic. Great write and read speeds. Have used it in my EVO 3D and a 2nd one in my Asus Transformer and have zero complaints at all. Before this purchase I have never tried TOPRAM but I don't see myself ever going back to PNY, San Disk or Lexar. Just my 2 cents.
launch day evo came with sandisk, my buddy got 1 about a week after launch and had a kingston, had problems with it and got an exchange and it had a sandisk.
**** I'm still rocking the 16 gb class 2 from the epic

speaking of sd cards. i too have noticed the 8gb filling up hella fast! i dont really have anything on it but i only have 1.5 gigs left!
on the upgrading front, 32gb is the way to go. but the class is my question.
class 10 or class 6? does it really make that much of a difference? i.e. is a 10 $40 faster than a 6?
anybody? class 6 or class 10?
I've ben using the Patriot 16gb class 10 for about a week. Its fast and no stability issues.

I don't think a 10 is needed unless you are copying huge files. Performance wise you probably won't notice a difference visibly between the 2. Class 6 is plenty for a phone. Save the extra cash for a nice case or something. I have a class 6 adata card & it is just as fat as my patriot class 10. They both write at around 8mb/s. Don't get patriot brand because they do not perform to their rating. If a card is rated 6 it could still write at 10 speeds. Its class rating is usually the minimum write speeds.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I got the kingston 16geebee class 10 card when it first came out. I spent 100 bucks on it and after 2 replacements, the write speed has never been 10mB/s. it will hover between 2-5mB/s when I'm copying over roms or movies. NEVER get this card its a waist of money. I've also had many pictures corrupted because of it. however, I've seen other class10's that blow **** outa water. they are fast. imo its not a waist of money, as long as you dont get the ****ing kingston

There hava been a lot of reports of people buying 32 gig SD cards only to have them either not work properly or not be REAL 32 gig cards. **people have been faking them and selling them as 32 gig cards**. This post is not to say all are fake obviously, just letting you all know not to buy from some fly-by-night operation and make sure you're getting the real deal. Chances are if it's cheap and too good to be true, it's either gonna break soon and you'll lose all yer data or it's fake. Good luck all.
Class 10 cards will work even in Class 2 devices, they are backward compatible. Just means you won't get the speed benefit of Class 10.

You can't go wrong with SanDisk. Class 10 is their latest/fastest speed.
If you want to save money, find yourself a Class 6 which is the next one down. I purchased a Class 6 64GB micro-card from a Best Buy sale for $49. I'm sure there are similar sales online though I don't think Best Buy is doing it anymore.
Search for them on Amazon, lots of results!
Make sure the phone can handle a 64gb card before shelling out for it. I don't know the microsd slot spec on the GS3.

Whatever you buy, buy from a reputable seller (thousands of reviews not a few hundred) and not just on price. There are a lot of fake cards being sold. I bought a 32g SanDisk that was a fake, and it was only 8gb no matter what the card read as. The size can be fooled.
That said, I have not tried the latest SanDisk cards, but I have a SanDisk 32 class 6, and a Lexmark 32gb class 10. The Lexmark comes with a much nicer and more substantial usb adapter, the SanDisk came with the smallest utilitarian usb adapter. Both can be put on a key chain. I use the faster Lexmark in the phone. I find the usb adapter better than a sd card adapter which I tend to misplace, as well as being useful in computers without a sd card slot.

SanDisk 64GB Ultra MicroSDCX
I've heard nothing but good things about this card. It's pretty much top of the line too.
It's class 10 and UHC class 1. It's advertised as class 6 just because they haven't updated the web page, I emailed the seller.
It handles the 1080p video recording due to the fast read/write speeds.
shock resistant, water resistant (I think, go to sandisks website to view all the awesome details).
Anyways, this is definitely the card I'm getting. They offer a 32GB version as well, but that may be only class 6 (still probably plenty of speed).

I use class 4 16 gb instead of 32 gb class 10, feels better for me. Just look at the prices, there are these very cheap ones and expensive ones, try to buy one with a price that makes sense, in sd cards, generally pricey means durability, so focus on prices and get something your budget likes.

I have a class 10 32gb Lexar. It's read speed is brilliant - like all decent class 10 cards. It's write speed is quite low.
As a result I use my lexar sd for the storing of music, videos, apks etc. But I tend not to 'write' onto it with camera and video stuff. It will probably be fine but the write speed isn't that high so I don't want to risk errors or anything.

SanDisk ultra still considered to be one of the best. I have 32gb version almost 3 yrs with no issues . Lexar makes a decent one also but I have personal knowledge.

Samsung's honestly. Faster than the comparable class# sandisk, even when used in a phone, (the difference is even more pronounced on PC) and I have seen reports of sandisk failures. (But that may just be a artifact of the total # of cards). I've had my samsung UHS 1 since launch. Works great.
