Title says it all. What memory cards are people using, what in the consensus best option?
Thanks,
The Dude.
I'm using Samsung evo plus 128 GB SDXC without problems
(but generally there are other good cards with high write-read speed)

sandisk is another good memory card
I simply used samsung because I had these cards unused a long time ago...
I have had problems with Sandisk in Samsung phones but not sure if that issue has been fixed... That was a while ago...
Samsung 512gb SD card works well too...
I'm going to reopen this discussion, if folks are willing.
We all want high capacity cards. The Tab S4 is a laptop replacement tablet after all is said and done.
All Amazon prices.... (6/28)
So you have four choices....
SanDisk Extreme, 1TB (now available on Amazon) for $427. 88
SanDisk Extreme 512GB for $169. 99
SanDisk Extreme 400GB for $85.49
Or
And Samsung EVO Select 512GB for $100
According to reviews the SanDisk cards have a higher read speed than the Samsung card, but the same write speed.
Seems to me the 1TB card is just too expensive. The faster read SanDisk 512GB card is more than 50% more expensive the equivalent slower read Samsung card. The SanDisk 400GB card is half the cost of the 512GB card.
So which do you choose and why?
I currently have an older SanDisk 400gb card, am leaning toward the 512GB SanDisk. But salivating over the 1TB card.

Tab S4 is limited to 400gb sd card per spec or has it been tested with 512?
Sent from my SM-T830 using Tapatalk
The SDXC format is good to 2TB. They had a similar low "upper spec" for my Tab S2 of 256GB and 400GB worked fine. Virtually everything I've read says that the upper spec they quote is not based on the reality of the hardware. The way one site explained it was that the upper spec is set by marketing based on the largest available card out at the time the marketing material was generated. If I could afford it, I'd go for the 1TB card without any worries
There are several, other card brands out there now on Amazon for 512GB cards around $100. It is hard to find direct head-to-head reviews of the actual 512gb cards, but it seems like it holds true that they all write at about the same speed, but SanDisk Extreme reads faster - but costs 50% more.
A possibly unrelated aside, I've attached a 1TB hard drive via USB without any issues outside of the pain-in-the-*$$ that NTFS gives. As far as I can tell in the memory manager, USB OTG drives and memory sticks are treated the same as the SD card.

Well, if you read the earlier posts you'd see I use a 512gb sd card...
What you need to remember is that the specs put out are generally what was available at the time...
No company is going to put out that the tablet will support a 2Tb card as that isn't currently available but that is what SDXC is supposed to support, then it will go to the next standard., Heck, most phones available at the moment won't support the 1Tb card according to their specs as these were NOT tested pre-release...

Interesting discussion here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958010
Becareful buying micro sd cards on Ebay. I got scammed a few months ago. Bought a 32gb micro sd class 10 card for what I thought was a very good price. When I hooked it up to my computer with an usb adaptor it was recognized and showed 32gb in size. When I tried to move a large file (10Gig) it said "no disk space". It turned out to be an 8gb micro sd card labeled as a 32gb card. They installed a program in the micro sd card to show 32gb when you open it up in your computer. I got my money back through my credit card company and I emailed other buyers who bought them from this seller. Funny thing is everyone else thought it was fine and left good feedback for that seller until they tried adding more than 8gb into the card. I would stick with buying stuff like micro sd cards, usb flash drives, etc on Amazon, Newegg, or Frys. Its not worth trying to save $10-$20 or more on a $80 microsd card from Amazon.
Oh yeah I just read the feedback on one seller of the Memorette 32gb Micro SD SDHC CLASS 10 and I read a few "DOA", "not as advertised but refunded", "my computer can't read it". The rest who are happy probably didn't even try putting 30gb of data on the card yet. Again buyer beware.

i have tried the same thing, and the problem is not many is testing the cards.. i bught 3 class 6 before i got the real class 6 card, got my money back the other to times thow, but when buying from ebay always test the card as the first, there are many cheaters out there.
and yaa again the funny thing was that many said this was good, so i pick out 2 or 3 guys and ask them to try it, and guess what, they were cheated as well they just didnt knew it..
Do we know what maximum speeds the TF is capable of? I just read that thread posted so it got me wondering if its worth buying a class 10 card or not. I tried looking online but didn't really see anything about it. Is it safe to assume then that a class 10 will perform to its maximum when used in the TF?
Make sure you test the capacity of your micro sd card. Too many scams on memory cards from China. They will use a smaller capacity memory card and install a program in it to make it look bigger than it is. They use 8gb cards to make it look like it is 32gb. When you get your memory cards test it by adding large files to capacity.
Read the feedback left by a buyer. Many leave feedback before testing out their fake 32gb microsd cards LOL.
By my test it's a class 5, but the buyer is really good and fast!!! NICE EBAYER Member id davidegatto ( Feedback Score Of 62) Apr-22-11 02:50

For stuff like that, it's better to buy from a reputable vendor.
I got a 16GB class 6 card off of Amazon a little while ago to use in my Nook Color. I'll be using it in the TF. 16GB will be plenty of storage for me. Maybe when 32GB cards are a bit cheaper...
Sucks that tablets didn't go with full size SD card slots. I'd have much preferred that. 32GB SDHC cards aren't that expensive.

I hear you! a SDHC slot doesn't take up THAT much room. It's a shame they only included it in the keyboard dock I don't always want to carry around my dock with me
Also as a photographer, it's kind of a shame to not be able to plug in my camera's SDHC card directly into the tablet to view the pictures
Seen a fair bit about fake cards. Just as well I have paid through paypal using my credit card just in case.

MicroSD's aren't fast enough Slow SD cards really limit how many shots you can take in a row. I tend to do a lot of burst RAW shots and if the SD card isn't fast enough, the buffer will fill up too quickly
what class of SD are you using? People are purchasing class 10 microSDs to use with the transformers at reasonable prices.. still not fast enough?

30MB/s corresponds with a "Class 30" The class rating is just the guaranteed minimum speed in MB/s
No no no no never use memorette. I did, got a 32g card for 50 bucks. Put it in my mac to transfer 25g of stuff. Stopped unexpectedly after 20, after that it won't be recognized by either my imac or my phone, won't even allow me to format using terminal in the mac. Beware! U can get sandisk class 4 for 75 on amazon, it works pretty fast. I used it.

To anyone out there that has used Micro SD Cards....
1) First of all, I know the A101IT supports SDHC Micro SD Cards but does it support any 32GB Micro SD Cards at all??
(All the 32GB Micro SD Cards I've seen show the SDHC written label on them).
2) If the A101IT does support the 32GB Micro SD Card, what manufacturer brands along with their Class #'s have been found to work when tested with data and media in upwards of 16GBs in this case.
(I.E. - SanDisk 8GB Class 4/... Works for me on my A101IT).
Reason:
I want to put my Band of Brothers HBO TV Show Series (7.20GBs), True Blood HBO TV Show Series (19.3GBs), about 1-2GBs of music, a couple DVD Movies, and finally leave the few remaining space on the card for Market Apps and put ALL this ^ on 1 card because I don't like always carrying around my external portable 500 GB HDD. I have an 8GB Micro SD Card and I need more space on it so please advise of bigger and better cards. Thanks!
In other news:
From sources I found on Yahoo and Google, I read that SanDisk is in the development stage of working on a 128GB Micro SDXC Card for mobile devices AND a 128GB SDXC Flash Card for devices like digital cameras to which both will reportedly be available by the end of 2011. Reports show that for the 128GB Standard SDXC Card at 133x speed made by Lexar is roughly $700 and the 128GB SDXC Flash Card at 100x speed made by SanDisk is $1500! So if the below configuration of HC/XC is what SD says it is then in the coming years we should see a 2TB Standard SDXC card for like $5000 and a 2TB Micro SDXC Card for like $10,000?! Then fast forward and imagine about 30 years from now where we would have a double-sided Micro SDXC Card with like 6TBs total (3TB on each side) as the total amount of space on the card and costing like $20,000?! ... Yay, can't wait... *(sarcastically).*
SDHC: 4 GB to 32 GB
SDXC: >32 GB to 2 TB
Yes the Archos can handle any non fake 32GB microsd's.
I specifically say non fake because if you buy them cheap it might be one that doesn't really hold the data ( had one given to me that was fake ).
And for the price of the SDXC Crads.
I bought a 540MB harddrive for DM1500 in 1990, because i needed the space then.
About 1 year later it was around DM500.
Now you get 1TB for €50.
And with this its the same, when they produce more, price will drop dramatically.
Well I got 2 different 32GB Micro SD Cards. One is by Kingston at a Class 4 & the other by a no-named company because there is no name on it and that one is at a Class 6. I formatted each to NTFS, FAT32, AND extFAT and absolutely none of it works like it should. For each card I put like 6 GBs on them and loaded them back into my A101IT and only part of the stuff comes up that I transferred to it like my folder of strickly .apk's, a few but not all of my documents, and the folder I made for the Swap Files from another thread here on XDA. Other stuff on the card like the folder of my Movies, Band of Brothers TV Show Series, and the entire folder of my pictures never show up and it looks like it just randomly deleted the other stuff. When I go to open up either one of my 32GB SD Cards from on my A101IT.... everything but my folder of .apk's are still on the card?!
Is there anything I did wrong in formatting or any way I should format either card? Is my problem that I should use a Class 8/10 Card regardless of the card's GB size??
Most of noname SD cards are fake. Lots of Kingston and Transcend cards are fake too the only way I found is to buy from well-known shops where chances to get a fake are lower and you can get a replacement if something went wrong. As usual cards for $90 work better than $40, but you can get a garbage for full price
It seems both yours cards are fake. There are a lot of cards on the market marked as 32Gb and their real capacity is 8Gb maximum. What did you use for formatting?
I've bought mine from Amazon directly and waiting for delivery. It was $60 for 4 class. I'm worried a bit but hope for better
Well after formatting both 32GB Micro SD Cards on my laptop, I found that both cards are truly not fake and each of their real capacities are at 31.7 GBs and 30.9 GBs respectively. I was thinking that they just had some kind of read/write problem but I formatted both cards to the default NTFS again for like the 4th time and now they work on my A101IT?! I think the problem lies with my Toshiba laptop's USB ports and its built-in SD Card Slot because my laptop is like 6 years old and holding onto a thread to keep from dying (I've been having other non-SD Card related problems lately too). But I think it's solved now because the cards both work.
Does archos support ntfs for sd card ?
Does anyone know if the Prime can use the 16 GB microSDHC Class 10 memory cards? I just got two of them off amazon because they were like 25.00 each with excellent reviews on speed. So I got one for my prime and one for my HTC Amaze. I just dont know if the prime can utilize the speed class and the SDHC standards?
Thanks!
you can use a card adaptor to fit the Micro into a standard SD slot..

Im pretty certain it can, yours is no different then any other 16 gig microsd. The New ones are MicroSDXC, and I believe I read somewhere that the Prime does support those, which currently go up to 64 gigs.

They don't exist yet, he was referring to the fact that documentation says that this new SDXC technology could theoretically support up to 2TB of data. But we currently aren't anywhere near being able to fit it that small yet, but the format supports it.

Still ? 128gb card
Which is better? Which will work? Samsung technical support claims SDXC w/n work. I naive as I am, turn to experts here and ask... SDHC or SDXC? Teach me.

MicroSDHC and MicroSDXC will both work.
MicroSDHC was originally made to have cards over 8GB (not 100% sure on this number). MicroSDXC was created to break the 64GB limit and the speed limitations with Class 10 cards.
MicroSDHC is an older standard and should work fine. MicroSDXC is newer, but was created well before this tablet was created and should also work fine.

The most important question to ask is "how much space do you need?"
For me, 64GB is too little. I have several seasons of several shows and films on it. Between the extended LOTR trilogy in 1080p, 3 seasons of Sherlock in 720p, 4 seasons of Waking the Dead in Divx, 2 concerts in DVD and a music folder of 20GB, I'm well out of space.
Now, if you don't bring that much videos, or you have no problems bringing an exFAT drive with you, 64GB is more than enough. 4.4 no longer supports apps to write to the SD, so using it for app files has become redundant. (Unless you root)
You're probably off cheaper buying two 64GB cards, keeping one in your wallet and swapping them around.
If like me you need that much space (And swapping cards on a train is hell), the 128GB might be worth the money.
As for quality, both are fine.

Hi,
I'm thinking of purchasing the newly released 200gb Microsd card, however I'm wondering if anyone has tried one and if so what are the Write/Read speeds like?
Also does anyone know if it would work with the Z3?
In my experience, most devices (at least high end devices) should support it.
I bought a 128 GB micro SD and it's working great.
Usually, the information the companies show is because they talk of the biggest micro SD capacity available at the moment of the release of the device.
I'm quite sure it should work.
My 128gb microsd is in half full, so I musn't buy 200gb microsd card, becuase is 3x bigger price than my 128gb
So, is there any news on this subject?
Does the phone support the 200gb card? Or even the 400 gb?
be first
