Hey everybody ...
Quick question: which is better ... SanDisk Ultra 128GB or the Samsung 128GB EVO?
I've been deciding for days, but I still can't make up my mind.
I want something that lasts long and is fast.
Samsung is samsung, especially with the tablet ... and sandisk is also reputable but has that 10 year warranty.
Please help. Thanks!

I would go with the Samsung since there have been reports lately of bad SanDisk cards. Realize though that one has sold millions more units than the other so the likelihood of failure is greater for SanDisk anyway.
If you want the fastest possible though you may want to step down to 64gb card and get one with the highest write rating like a SanDisk Extreme Pro.
The experiences vary. I've never had a single Sandisk card break, out of the 40ish Ive used since 2001.
I've had 4 Samsung cards (2x32 2x64) and they all broke in 4 months.
My 128GB Sandisk is still doing great.

I think I really need the 128 gb size. I never read comics before, and the note pro got me into it ... so now I have like 15gb of comics. lol. Plus, then I'm gonna add vids and music. So it might be prudent for me to just fork out the money for a bigger card.
And the other thing ... I kinda wana go with samsung too but sandisk has a brilliant 10 yr warranty!. Samsung has like a 2 year. So that's confusing.
Everything I've seen says the tablet can only utilize 64gb cards or smaller...? Would love to buy a 128gb if that will work though, can anyone confirm?

The card size listed in the specs is based upon what is, at that moment, available on the public market. At the time of the release of the NotePro, 64GB was the largest MicroSD size available. This does not in any way refer to an actual size limit of the cards, it's just that Samsung had no means to see if a 128GB card worked or no, as they didn't exist outside Sandisk's lab.
128GB works as normal, I've been using one for months. (Sandisk).
In fact, the 128GB works fine even on something as old as an S3.

What's the latest on microSD cards?
Are 32GB worth it? Do they work?
Any particular minimum Class I should get, even if I have to get 16GB?
Thanks

am using class 6 works fine.
I use an 8Gb, class 4 without any issues. Resco is installed on the card.
Although if your going to flash a ROM from a micro SD card use one < 8Gb.
Thanks,

From my experience, it's not the class or size that matters. It's the make. (Obviously a smaller card with a higher class will have faster r/w speeds, but that's not usually a noticeable issue.)
I never buy any SD cards now that are not SanDisk, and I can't remember the last time I had one that didn't work.
Some brands seem to get a lot of complaints.
The class wouldn't really matter if you're just using it to store data/apps.
I use a Nokia N900 and run Android off the SD card. A higher class gives a better speed when running an O/S off of one. But using one to store data/apps wouldn't give a noticable advantage of one class than another.
Obviously the size does matter but depends on what you'll use it for.
Plus for flashing use < 8Gb.
Thanks,
Al
PS. I agree with the brands. I don't buy cheap non-branded ones. Although I've never had an issue with any of the 'cheap' ones.
The size of the card depends on your needs. If you cram a lot of stuff in there or apps, then aim for 16gb or 32gb.
You can find 32gb on amazon from $70 up (sandisk, kingston, dane elec -- those are deem legit 32gb cards) and most of them should give real class 4 performance (even when they're listed as class 2 like sandisk).
For me I like San Disk,but I want to test Toshiba 16GB Class4.The seller told me that Toshiba quality is good also and I decided to buy it.
Never had any problem with file transfer and running android on SD card.
I've used it 4 months now.So far so good.
I use a kingston 8gb class 4.. Never had any issues with performance
Thanks for all the replies guys.
I'll probably run Android off the card initially with the standard WM 6.5 tweaked. Maybe put some SatNav on there too.
As for Apps depends what I come across. For WM I have an old large build of offline Wikipedia and some dictionaries etc.

I had my 8GB SanDisk in my G1 for 2 years, then my HD2 for about 8 months, then randomly one day it stopped working.
If I plugged it in, all of my content appeared on the phone such as pictures. Then after about 30 seconds it would freeze, and then the phone would say no SD card is inserted. I managed to copy all of my pictures across on the PC luckily before it froze.
Granted it was old - but they do fail after a while.
Hi,
Could you recommend me a good SD card for Samsung Galaxy S3 with high speed and low to average price. Preferable capacity is 16 to 32GB.
Also I want to see your opinion on these 3 brands; SanDisk, Samsung and Kingston
Thanks!

I can report the same. I've got a 16GB SanDisk Ultra microSD for about 1 and a half years.
If you buy SDs, look for those Class 10 ones. Those are the fast ones. Don't use SDs below Class 6, as they reduce the whole performance of your phone.

Thank you arj8 and Leevee33.
I would like to see some posts about the other brands, because Sandisk is a little bit expensive. I am thinking on buying this one; MicroSDHC 16GB EVO Memory Card (Sorry I am a new user, so I cannot post any links)
Thanks!

I use a SanDisk ultra. So far I'm pleased with it even though I broke it once but I think that was due to the fact that I rooted the tablet and switched the external memory with the sd card.

Thank you guys.
I will probably buy the Samsung brand. They have such a nice performance and actually they are not very expensive.
Feel free to leave some other opinions and who knows, you could change my mind.

I have a class 4 Kingmax 32GB and I noticed that the transfer speeds are ~10 Mb/s which I feel are rather slow. Can you guys share what size and brand you are using and an average transfer speed?

Yeah, it is way too slow. Class 4 SD crads are too slow for phones (for example; S3). You should look for higher class, like class 10. I am thinking of buying this card; http://www.samsung.com/us/photography/digital-cameras-accessories/MB-MP16DA/AM which has up to 48mb/s read/write. Moreover, Samsung cards are very cheap in my country.
However, I heard bad things about this brand, so I suggest you buy Sandisk Ultra. Sandisk is something like the Iphone of the SD cards. They have really good performance, but the price is without any comment.
Suggest me some high speed sd cards of class 10 in india.
SanDisk Ultra 32GB CLASS 10 MicroSDHC
Amazon made me order an 128GB Sandisk Android Ultra card yesterday... Will see how this works out...
IMO get the 80 MB/S Samsung Evo class 10. Samsung is known for quality flash storage even in SSDs and the warranty is good too.

Finally got my card and the new OTA, so that it works now like a charm. Can only recommend it. Copying music in windows made me reach ~20MB/s writing which is pretty solid and enough.

I'm looking in ordering one of these now.
Evo+ is 1€ cheaper than the Evo.
While the Pro is another 20€ more expensive than the Evo.
I guess the Evo's series is more than good enough.
But looking at the specs it looks like the Evo+ is significantly faster than the normal Evo, while being slightly cheaper.
Am I overlooking some important details?
Also the sandisks are alot cheaper for the same speeds.
Could someone explain me what to look out for when buying these kinda things?
I bougth the Samsung MicroSDHC 32GB PRO
It works fast and fine.
I realy recommend the sd-card.
Hello,
I'm back in the Android world after a long time and the Honor 5x will be my daily driver for the foreseen year.
As someone who doesn't rely on streaming services, I thought a 128 MicroSD would be the way to go to maximise storage and be able to carry a significant junk of my music collection.
However, someone reported in a youtube comment, about trouble with a 128 GB card (brand not specified).
I delved a bit more into this issue, and seems to be common with 64GB+ cards, say when you have a Samsung phone and use a non-Samsung card and so on.
Is there anyone here who is using 128 GBs or has a first hand experience with someone who does, and has been able to run with no issues ("automatic unmount and mount" every N-minutes or N-hours is the issue I've read about).
If not, is there anyone running 64 GB with no problems (what brand?).
I appreciate your time.
PD: I don't have the phone yet but since I'm importing it I'd like to score with a good card so to have the full package working day-1.
64 GB PNY black label no problem.
but 128 GB PNY Green Label a lot of issues unexpected SD removed no matter how you format it.

@mpsychedelic ... Have used a "SanDisk Ultra" 128 Gb sd card since the first day I received my honor 5X (7 days after it was released on the US market). Absolutely no problems with reading and writing to it. I use SanDisk cards in all my phones and tablets and have never had any problems.
However as far as MY honor 5X is concerned it is the L24 i.e. the US retail model and you specifically mention importing yours which I presume means it could be the Chinese or Asian or Europen versions and I would honestly bear that in mind when deciding which make of 128 card to purchase. If you read through the whole forum you will see many instances (not necessarily concerning sd cards but covering a range of subjects) where problems between the US retail and others exist.
Thank you very much, I appreciate your timely answers as I'm hitting that order button tonight or tomorrow!

Ok, so Indeed the PNY seems to be one of the "issue prone" cards, as I've read a lot about problems with those.
Since I'm really pushing towards 128, I guess PNY are out of the equation.
Now I'm torn between a Sandisk and my usual Transcend cards (I use Transcend for my DSLR, GoPro, etc).

I'm ordering from Amazon US so, should be the US model. And to be 100% sure, the guys from Huawei replied to a question from another user in the article's page:
Hello Valued Customer, the Honor 5X variant for the US is Model KIW - L24. (AI)

So it's indeed the only version (obvious) and the one holding in my hands.
metpolds, Could you maybe specify the exact model of your card, would you say it's the SDSQUNC-128G-GN6MA? Unfortunately cannot post links (well I could easily go around the BBCodes but won't be a rogue user), but that's the first "Sandisk Ultra 128 GB" result on Amazon, and there is an older version in the second or third result.
Thanks again for your time.

@mpsychedelic ...Yes that is the one I purchased from Newegg.
Has anyone tried this I've being reading about the SDcard standard and also saw a picture of a Z Ultra showing in storage - settings - sdcard1 a 128GB card working (Don't know if it's true tough) so has anyone here tried that? is it true?
wanna buy one but wouldn't wanna waste my money...
manual says max 64GB
https://dl.developer.sonymobile.com/documentation/whitepapers/Xperia_Z_Ultra_LTE_C6833_WP_7.pdf
But its confirmed it supports even higher than that:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/04/0...xc-card-works-a-treat-in-sony-xperia-devices/
If in theory sdxc is fully supported then the controller should work with up to 2TB. But its yet to be tested by someone who willing to spend that money. Or someone who has one of these >256GB cards lying around.
That second link is one of the pages I was reading, I think I'll go ahead and buy one 128gb and if it doesn't work I'll sell it, will report how it works when I do.
Can confirm, I've been using a 128GB Sandisk card in my Z Ultra for the past couple of years. No problems at all.

Class10 is old and all cards have this rating. There is even more complicated ratings coming up on new cards being sold.
I'm talking about V30, V40, V50 and so on. C even. Don't know what C stands for. Mostly to help prosumers and pros selecting when doing 4K.
Some facts here:

At the moment I have a samsung pro 64GB U3: http://www.samsung.com/uk/memory-storage/pro-microsd-card-e/MB-MG64EEU/
Its fast but not impressive. I don't think any memory card matters for our old phone.
It was sale two for one so I got one for our new phone and one for mine.
But you should buy the fastest you can afford without breaking the bank by performance for dollar.
If the top performer cost $100 more than the cheaper but no performance boost. You get the idea. Buy the cheaper.
At the moment I am looking at the toshiba 128 U3.
I will buy four of these for my ipod classic making a total of 512GB storage.
Note that there are many new features that is coming up for SD cards. As I said not that they will benefit our old Z ultra.
But you can still buy one that has a new feature as long as the price is right.
These are the ones I will buy. The one that is cheapest at the time of purchase. Download the Aliexpress app..you often get 40~70% off THAT sale price.

Samsung is a safe card. They are a bit expensive for what you get.
Sandisk is probably the best. But they are the most expensive. By performance for dollar.
A-DATA are good. But research if the specific batch is holding up. They tend to have some good and the other year bad and failing products. Same as with hard disks wd and seagate.
Some other exist but they are out of what I can get. They are more common in the us and asia. Like PNY, Transcend etc. So I cant comment on them.
Ol snap, SUPERUSER balling as usual!
That you for the additional info that will be much needed. I was interested in 128gb since the price has dropped over the years but now I see I need to keep my wallet closed until I put on my thinking cap!
Thank you very much friend!
