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!

Cons: I got one, worked just fine for 3 week. Of course, all info (GPS maps, pictures, music) was lost. The second one I ordered, worked for 3 days.
I just trashed 100 bucks, plus Garmin maps, music, etc. Get a SanDisk, a little expensive but works "for ever".

Yeah, I saw that, but I rarely trust reviews on sites like that. too many noobs not knowing whats going on. I was hoping to hear from someone who's got some knowledge about who makes the cards for ridata and or from a respected member that owns one.
well if you dont trust reviews on websites then y are you looking for reviews here? the same ppl here are likely to be the same people reviewing things on newegg.
i know i post reviews for every product i buy from newegg because i like to do lots of research on products i buy and use reviews from average joes who didnt get the product free so they would give a good review regardless.
Thats way too expensive i would say, first of all.
Go to Target, get the Transcend 16GB, its like $45...the 8GB is like $30....I havent had any problems with this brand since i switched after having 3 failures on SanDisk's.
They are CLASS 6.

I think this is a no brainer really. a 64gb micro SD card is like what $200+, to get 96gb on a 32gb model would be quite expensive, but if you get a 64gb model and then add a 32gb card, it would work out less.
and if you have a lot of full hi-def movies on a tablet, to take full advantage of the hi-res screen, you won't fit many films on a 32gb card.
Gobs of media files - music and pdf manuals largely. While wifi coverage grows daily, I'm not in a major metropolitan area so finding coverage can be a challenge. The cloud is great - if you can get at it.

Why do people buy 32gb?
I ordered the 64GB version because I can, I say it's better with to much space then to little. And I don't want to come in that position that I don't have enough space, don't like when I get limited because of the hardware.
videos and music is the main use. I first thought on to buy the 32GB + MicroSD card, but with MicroSD you are limited to 4GB files and that is not good when most of the movies are bigger then 4GB. (can be wrong about this)
And was there something wrong with this thread?

[Q] Why 64GB?
B/C $100 for double the disk space is a good deal.... and I'm not constrained by my budget... so why wouldn't I get it?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
If you need to have 96 gb or more its better. It depends on what your using it for. Those who are buying 32gb I think have a very specific use in mind and know how much space they need or are just going to use it as a media consumption device.
Those that are buying the 64gb version probably fit in 3 camps:
1) can afford the space so why not?
2) are using it for work and know/need/want to make sure that they have all of their materials at hand if they have no connectivity (I need geo maps, research papers, my own work, and entertainment on the device.) and don't want to lug or power a portable device.
3) Commuters who want to have access to a large selection of media on the device.
I personally would love to have a 128gb chip or a few of them and dump my bulky external drive. Though I think their price is a little high yet. 1tb would give me wet dreams. (my current ext hd)
Though I do amit that even if I didn't think I had the need for 64gb I would have bought it as you can never add more to the device itself. Say if you buy 32gb and need 128 your spending more than if you bought 64gb and 64gb chip. Barring the fact that you carry a collection of chips.
Cheers!
I'm just trying to think of whether I would be able to make use of the extra space. I don't think "why not?" or "because I can" are good reasons
I feel like maybe there are some useful/cool things I could do with the prime if I had extra space, but I'm still not sure what that is. I only have like ~8 gigs of music. I don't feel like I need a large media library on my device, since I'll know the 1 or 2 things I want to watch at any given time.
Using it as a general storage device might be interesting though.

Sounds like you might be better with a 32gb version then. Just think of all you would want to put on it get an estimated size then how close are you to 32gb if you break it I would buy the 64gb if you don't come close a 32 with an sdhc for expansion would be good I think.
I also think because I can can be a valid reason, think of it like this at the price the difference is not much for double the storage. Personally being a dink(double income no kids) the extra cost is nothing but the cost of not buying what I need can be the difference between having a useful device with no extra work to a useful device that I have to manage what sdhc cards have want info, loaded, and hope I don't loose the other cards. Just dont forget the oppurnity cost of the device.
I don't get why people think $100 extra is a fair deal for the 64GB.
An Samsung 32GB Class 10 card is €30 in Holland, while we pay €100 extra for the 64GB version.
Because I need more than 128gb I think a >=96gb chip is more than 100? And 100$ just is not that much to me.
Well future devices will have up to 128GB of flash storage. It was just released a couple weeks back or so that they finally made it possible.

to get 96gb on a 32gb model would be quite expensive as a 64gb card is $200+, but if you get a 64gb model and then add a 32gb card, it would work out less.
and if you have a lot of full hi-def movies on a tablet, to take full advantage of the hi-res screen, you won't fit many films on a 32gb card.
Do you stream or do you store? Storing music, even if you have a large library, doesn't chew up tons of storage. Video, especially high-profile, does. Plex and PlayOn pretty much eliminate the need to store video locally. I only store stuff when I know I'm going to be on long plane flights without Wi-Fi.
I've got about 2K Rhapsody downloads on my 32GB and a couple of local MKV videos and am using less than half the storage. More is always better and once you buy it you can't go back but it's also kind of stupid to piss money away (no matter how much you claim to have) on something you're not going to use. And it looks like January for the 64GB's so that's something to consider too.
I'm the one who created the other thread. I finally decided for the 64GB for the following reasons:
-I can (i mean, it's not a real effort to pay the extra)
-Now i don't see the real need for the 64Gb, but i don't know if i will need them in the time i have it, as it's my first tablet. Having the 64Gb means if in the future i need the extra storage, i will have it. Having the 32Gb would mean the need to buy extra microSD cards.
-I travel a lot, and sometimes for long time. SD cards are fine, but internal storage means faster reads and less problems (like forgetting the sd or having it lost/broken for any reason)
-I plan on using it for a little gaming too, if the games start to need more space, i will already have it and not depend on the sd card. I hate having to watch which apps I can have or not have due to space in my Nexus One.
-I have a dSLR so i'd like to use it too for pic displaying and very basic editing if needed (with the dock + sd cards). This pics are quite huge (10mb each, ~30mb if shot in raw), so moving a few of them to the internal storage (for using without the dock) would be quite space consuming.
-Having a 32gb microsd card means 96gb instead of 64, which further expands this capabilities.
I can't depend either on music/video streaming. Most music I like isn't in cloud services and Google Music isn't available in Spain. My internet connection is pretty bad, and the router is even worse, with ocasional and random wifi disconnections.
With all this in mind, i just prefer spending a few more € on the 64gb and not fall short in some weeks.
Oh, i forgot the main reason. To stand up in the top of the mountain and laugh at the 32gb people

It's fantastic that you both have the resources. It's incredibly ostentatious that, for whatever reason, you feel the need to share it with others that may not be in your position. Between this and the post in the BB thread where someone's order got canceled because of a debit card issue and some schmuck posted "I don't need to worry, my credit card has no limit" I'd say there's a lot of people on this forum who need to validate themselves.

That's way out of the reason i posted it. The OP is asking for reasons to get a 64 gb model over a 32gb one. Pricing is one of the possible reasons so I included it in the list just because it was an issue i considered while asking myself the same question, so it might be relevant to the OP. If i were just to try to show how proud i am of the money i have, i would remove the parenthesis (where i state that if getting the 64gb is an effort the OP should consider the 32Gb instead). The last sentence was a joke that someone posted on my the thread i created for this same reason and i liked and copied it here. You can check it if you want at the link someone posted in this thread.
I would buy the 64gb version due to the fact that on Honeycomb you can not move apps to the sd card and maybe this will change with ICS so with games taking up a lot of space the extra memory would be nice.
Just came across this Amazon deal for a 32gb transcend micro sd card for $17. It's a class 10 rated at 45MB per second which is decent for our Xperia Z Ultra.
LINK
Interesting. It's "Transcend" though, and i haven't had any good experiences with them. It's really cheap though, but there's a good reason for that
Tip: Don't store important documents on it.
Before someone comes in here and says i'm full of piss, i'm not saying that it'll explode in your face or anthing like that. It might work fine for you, but i don't trust them. I've had problems with them before, and the result is inaccessible data. I would rather invest in a "slightly" more expensive card from SanDisk or Samsung. They aren't bulletproof either though, but they are more reliable.
It's definitely better than SanDisk though. I had a 64gb SanDisk Ultra which failed after a couple of months.

yeah agreed. I'm on my second 64Gb ultra from SanDisk. This one seems fine though, have had it for 6 months now... They admitted via email that they had issues with the DIE process in their 64gb memory. They have rectified it and its all good now. (year right)
But nice to know they admit when there was a problem and a lifetime warantee is all good to me.
(i have 4 3TB drives with backupdata on... so my externals can fail as long as i get a new one for free)
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.

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?
