There's also a Class 10 from Samsung that's $30 at the same store.

Nice find.
I ended up buying the Class 10 as my other card died for some reason.

Amazon also has cards for real cheap. Around the same price as frys. Their 64 gbs got real cheap too (70 bucks now). Might try to pick them up soon.

if Fry's like Micro Center? I have never been to Fry's but hear about 'em a lot.

From what I understand, the higher the class, the faster the card.

Yes. I always go with the statement "the class is about the speed of the card". So you want the highest class possible. I suggest, in a mobile phone, so you don't really experience any lag when playing music stored on the card, you'll want to have a class 6 or higher. I always go for a class 10, if I can.

I've had 2 cheap sd cards die on me...
Exact same symptoms both times... First notice that some of my installed (on SD) apps are showing up with a shadow icon after a re-boot, fixable with a dismount and remount of the card, then it happens to more of the apps, then within a week or 2 the sd card reports itself as "blank or unformatted" Once it got to that point they couldn't be formatted by any device I have...
From first symptom to dead card was about 3 weeks or so total both times.
I'll cough up the extra for a decent card this time.

From what I understand, the phone hardware and/or rom may limit how high a class can be used. On my old HTC Aria running CM7 there was no point buying anything higher than class 6 (I used a 4 with no problems). I don't know if the skyrocket or ICS have the same issue. Still, you're not likely to notice much of a difference at class 6 or higher (depending on how you use it).

I've had a Class 2, 4, and 6 (w/UMS-1) micro SDXC cards. They were all retail packaged Sandisk. On 4 different Galaxy phones (Galaxy U, S, SII, SII Skyrocket) and one external usb reader, the transfer speed was 3.8MB-4.5MB when transferring large files. Classes didn't seem to matter on the Galaxy phones or the usb reader I had. Looking at the results of my test, I'm glad I didn't buy a 64GB micro sdxc Class 10 for double the price as it is telling me that I probably won't be seeing any speed improvements with it. I think part of the reason why it is so slow is that I'm transferring from a USB external to my USB plugged in device. But that is almost always going to be the case with me.
It would be nice to see UMS-1 compatible Galaxy phones in the future.

Tempted to get a 32gb one. I keep having to delete image backups when testing out 5 different ROMs at the same time :silly:

I had an issue with my Skyrocket and SD Cards a month or so back. The phone would take 4-5 seconds to wake up when I pressed the power key. I had a class 4 16GB Wintec MicroSD in there. When I took the MicroSD out, the phone jumped right back to normal.
Has anyone else had this problem, and more importantly, has anyone else using a Class 6+ MicroSD noticed lag time between waking the device and the display coming on? I might have to go get myself a Class 6 (if not Class 10) MicroSD if everyone's had good luck thus far.

You need to re-run that SD card test app and change the path from sdcard to external sd card. That test ran on the internal sd card memory for the phone and not the external card. (another hint is it shows total memory size is 11GB)

Yeah the USB Adapter benchmark was giving 20/11 so I was surprised when my bro sent me his benchmarks and it was higher (I was thinking it was the benchmark itself) but I guess I overlooked the internal SD.

Maximum of 32 Gb for SDXC card???

This means we can't use this SDXC card?
http://www.digitalcamerareview.com/default.asp?newsID=4363
http://hothardware.com/News/Transcend-Introduces-64GB-Class-10-SDXC-Memory-Card/
is limit made by Samsung?
SDXC is a new SD technology, so it isn't supported by most products atm.
Brief History of SD cards.
We went from SD (max 2GB) to SDHC (max 32GB which is what GS supports) to SDXC (Don't know the max).
Also, those cards are normal sized, not microSD (GS only takes MicroSD). I don't know if microSDXC cards exist yet (probably I guess).
Also, I don't know whether it's possible to support SDXC through firmware updates, or if it requires a hardware upgrade (to the microSD slot).
Hope that helps bud.
but i just wonder can Samsung Galaxy S support 64 gb SDXC?
Most smartphones don't use SD Cards, but rather use MicroSD cards so to answer your question no.
No ---->

Currently the max size for a MicroSD card is 32GBs at a class 2 speed. You can get 16GB MicroSD cards in class 2, 4, or 6 speeds.

You are talking of the Kingston card.
Even though it is a class 10 don't take it for granted that it will be faster than a class 6.
Not all cards conform to their class ratings.
As an example ~ I was going to purchase a 16GB class 6 (I have the same card in my HD2), however, I found that the Sandisk Ultra II 16GB which is a class 4 was actually much , much faster.
I purchased the Ultra II and am happy to say it does indeed perform much better than the class 6 which I temporary removed from the HD2 to test.
Tests were carried out on both PC file transfer Read/Write using a USB card reader and in the Galaxy S for record/playback of video content.
I was pretty certain that sandisk's 32gb class 2 microsd card was the only 32gb microsd card available, but i found this
http://www.buy.com/prod/topram-32gb...d/q/listingid/92293363/loc/101/216378751.html

There are 64MB microSD cards hitting the market about now. Not sure if SGS will be able to use them.

not yet, the highest is 32GB microSDHC
after that barrier they becomes 64GB microSDXC
there are already standard 64GB SDXC cards, that means the micro version is just around the corner.
usually it's a 6 month lapse from the moment the normal size SD comes out, to when the micro version gets released
now all that aside, i've a 32MB microSD, but never seen one for 64MB
it came as a demo disk for one of my devices

Nah, they don't make them that small.
saw a post once cant remember where, but it had a sandisk 2TB yes that is correct 2TB micro sd, im pretty sure its not available, but i gave me hope that one day i mite be able to fit the entire contents of my laptop drive (500GB) and my external (1.5TB) drives on something smaller than my thumbnail.
of course it will be available, in the next 10 years
technology advances are steady.
most of the time the tech is already availble, just not for the public, as they have to develop cheap way to MASS produce those things.
Bought this for my SGS.....class 4 has arrived from Kingston.I will post some stats when i test it.

Best 16gb or 32gb microSD?

Going to start using the Inspire as my main music player (thanks to Ubermusic, which is simply too good to resist).. looking for recommendations on a 16/32gb microSD.
Also, question: how come Sandisk only has class 4 microSD's? I'm all for getting myself one of these as the reviews are great.. but there might be something faster out there that's close in terms of reliability?
I have encountered zero issues with my PNY 32 gb class 10 card. New Egg has them pretty cheap when they are in stock.

I paid 20 for a Patriot Class 4 16GB. Worked great. Was pretty fast and large enough for me. But I like to be the guy with all the overkill stuff. So I'm getting a 32GB next.
I just ordered the PNY 32gb class 10. Upgrading from a 16gb class 4 that my wife fried when she took a picture and somehow turned the phone off at the exact same time... Tried everything to get it back to life - but maybe it was divine intervention.
I have a Patriot 16gb class 10 card from Newegg, results have been mixed. Speeds are awesome, but reliability has been an issue. Twice I have had the card become corrupt and had to fix with Chkdsk in Windows, and I have had several individual apps become corrupt and require a reinstall. Not major issues, just minor annoyances for me.

Ditto on the PNY 32gb microSD card. Works flawlessly on my Inspire. Seems a lot speedier than the 16gb one that came with the phone. Be ready to shed 2gb from formatting though, since it will only have a total capacity of 29.9gb on the card before tossing anything in it.
Get it from newegg. It was relatively inexpensive for it being a class 10 card, and shipping was fast.

Yes, this is the way memory works, you always get less than the advertised capacity. Bits vs bytes.
Also, you may notice different sizes with different allocation sizes...

You're right about the allocation sizes.
I used 32kilobytes for my allocation size when I formatted the card. Using anything below that caused my previous card to have a somewhat jittery experience on my phone when watching downloaded movies. Then again this new card is a class 10 as opposed to the class 2 16gb microsd card that came included with the phone.
I don't mind losing the 2gb since I have more than adequate space for my music and media on the go for the price paid. =D

Thanks for the link. Seems to be a more straight-forward tester with less eyecandy. Accurate results for testing whether some peeps buying cheap rebranded cards from places like eBay got good deals or duds.
truly there are sandisk class 6
Based on past reviews in the Inspire/DesireHD threads: Sandisk and PNY are pretty safe. Patriot is hit&miss with quality control. Transcend has been downright problematic (surprising, I use to like that brand). Lower "Class" cards tend to be more reliable, but slower (obviously). It seems to be due that the higher-class cards may have higher power requirements while writing, but I can't find any way to confirm that (rumor, really).
I got a Sandisk Class-4 16GB card for my Inspire. It's been rock-solid. Now that 32GB cards are common, the 16GB cards are dirt cheap these days.

I have the same card also. My readings are very strange with SD Tools. I can run it and get as low as 4MB/s read and 18MB/s write. When I run the test again immediately it can go as high as 9.7MB/s read and 36MB/s write. I can keep doing it over and over and every time is a different reading. I've tried to do this after rebooting, I've tried it on different roms (AOSP and Sense) and still the same thing. I've tried SD Booster and it didn't help much either.
so it seems that the results of this app maybe not reliable, or there is another something that affect on the results.
Anyway it does not appear to benefit from this test.
thnx very much
Can't you people see that it does not matter which class you have. Because Dhd can't write faster than 5–9 mbs even if you have class 10.
So put whichever you like to use you will get the same speed. I have both a class 2 and a class 10 and I get theI same result.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium App
I'm really suspicious, I wonder if it's reliable, cause I got results that was better the first time.
I don't know if it's reliable or not, but I did 3 tests on my DHD, AR 6.3.1 mod, quite a few apps installed, half-full SD card a KINGMAX 16GB Class 6 which i bought 2 days ago. My previous card was a SAMSUNG 8GB Class 2 (the one that came with the phone).
What's interesting to note is that, after doing the first test I thought to myself "hey, why not overclock the cpu from 1.1GHz to 1.6GHz?" and so the second test went better than expected. Then I went from 1.6GHz to 1.2GHz and I got slightly better results than the 1.1GHz. See for yourself:
1.1:
1.6:
1.2:
Coincidence much? Or working as intended?
Notes: Both cards are SDHC. OC has been done with Daemon Controller. 1.1=1152000. 1.2=122880. 1.6=1612800.
Even without over clocking you will get a different result every time u run the test, even if u do it back to back. I think the test is full of **** and shouldn't be relied on.

Sd tools?
I'm extremely dubious about the results obtained from SD tools. I recently bought a 16GB, class 10 Samsung card and got to testing it. I got almost identical results for the 16GB card as I did for the 8GB, class 2 card that came with phone, but I did notice a difference in the time each card took to complete the test so I timed them.
8GB Class class 2: write 87 seconds, read 27seconds.
16GB Class 10: write 51 seconds, read 7 seconds.
So going by time took the class 10 is a lot faster but not according to the figures from SD tool results. Maybe someone else could try and post their results. I know this is off topic but if SDtools doesn't give accurate results none of these posts are any good.

Some say class 4 for max random reads/writes which is better for our devices and some say class 10 has max sustained reads and writes
Havent heard much on the ultra...
I currently use the Sandisk 32gb cl 4. Works well.
But before this I had a 16gb class 10 Patriot which was a tad bit faster on the load, but I need the space more than the speed at this point lol.
That Sandisk Class 10 you have listed in your links is a Class 6.
The Samsung one is the best of the lot. Class 10 continuous speed and benchmarks similar to the Sandisk Class 4 for Random R/W. I just received my 32 GB Samsung a few days ago.
edit: I couldn't find much info on that Sandisk 32GB Mobile Ultra (class 6). With the right hardware, the read can go up to ~30 MB/s but write is ~8 MB/s. I couldn't find any benchmarks on random r/w. If I had to guess, I would say that based on Sandisk's reputation - it should have good random r/w.
I benched my Samsung with SD Tools in my Sensation (~25% full, so not optimal).
Write: 9.4 MB/s, Read: 25.9 MB/s
I agree with k0zmic. All are good cards and you can't go wrong with any of those.
All are good cards IMO, can't go wrong with any.
Comes down to price and whether you transfer big files back and forth enough to warrant Class 10 speeds for £10 more.
Im thinking lexar or samsung
Is the samsung worth the extra cash?

Yeah I think I did read somewhere (might have been on the back of the Ultra packaging) that it has better random r/w speeds.
Can you do a speed test with the Samsung with file sizes of 1MB and below? I'd like to see how it stacks up. I think it's comparable to a Class 4 card of the same size from what I've seen in other threads so it's a solid card.

I'd go with the Samsung, from what I have read the Lexar doesn't have very good speeds with small random file sizes.
I have the lexar one it's super fast and I don't worry about space :thumbup:

I'm not sure how to test with sizes 1MB and below but here's a crystaldiskmark result with the 50 mb option (I emptied the card, but it benched quicker before I had)

Wow, those are very good random speeds. I may look into getting a Samsung card. My SanDisk class4 is almost that fast in random, but is only class 4 speeds when loading the card up with info.

personally I will go for lexar one, as it is the leading profesional card for digital camera. however every micro sd card is different so you cant expect to get the same speed from every single one, the class 10 or 6 or 4 indicate that the minimum speed is 10mb/s 6 and 4 mb/s respectively
After seeing the chart above I think im gonna grab a samsung, thanks guys!
Good price for this card too

That's a nice SD card (thinking of picking one up for my camera or camcorder)...
But it won't work in our Sensations since it's a standard SD card.
Fry's had the samsung microsd card for ~36$ USD Shipped a couple days ago.

Oh f^&* i didnt looked at it carefully, i ordered for my phone guess it wont work now...
Just received my Lexar 32 GB Class 10. Was choosing between Samsung Class 10, Lexar Class 10, and SanDisk, but went with Lexar after reading a bunch of reviews. Lexar has been in business for a while.

For those that dont want to click on the links the choices are:
Sandisk 32GB Class 4
SanDisk 32GB Ultra Class 6
Lexar 32gb Class 10
Samsung 32GB Class 10
Some say class 4 for max random reads/writes which is better for our devices and some say class 10 has max sustained reads and writes
Havent heard much on the ultra...

And have you censidered adata?
- cannot post links atm
I'm using 16 GB class 6 version and it was quite good deal for me. Speed is really good and price is friendly. I'm dissapointed with sandisk after my very expensive pendrive died after one year of using....

best micro sd card for the note 9

Hi guys, I'm thinking of getting the Samsung evo + u3 128gb or the sandisk ultra uhs-i 200gb.
Which of these cards would work perfectly for the note 9? I have read from somewhere that the note 9 can't fully utilize the speed of the Samsung evo +.
I would like to store my media on the card and 4k footage recorded should be stored directly into the card.
Thanks for the input.
I'm using the Sandisk 400GB and it's been flawless so far.
Go for a Samsung Evo + class 10 high end card. I have a 65 gig one and transfer speed and durability are excellent. They're only 20 bucks. I've had many problems over the years with other brands.
I have the same Sandisk Ultra 128GB Micro SDXC that I've used since I had my S7 and it works great. Only $27 on Amazon.
Same here, I use the Sandisk Ultra 128GB
I still use the 256gb Samsung that came with the note 7, works like a champ. I am waiting for the Samsung 512gb to come out, so I can have the 1tb total.

Thanks guys for the recommendation. I finally pulled the trigger on the Samsung evo + 128gb. Been using the same sandisk 64gb since my galaxy s3 days ( about 7 years) just need to upgrade the size . 128 + 128 in total seems about right.
However, the Note9 can't achieve the ideal speed of 90mbps write speed for this card.
If you have the extra cash I'd jump on this one right now. I'm using it and it's performing flawlessly.

90mb is about 11MB/s. Read will always be faster. Write takes longer. It is 2018 and I don't understand why people still don't understand this. But there are many people that believe the Earth is flat in 2018.

I guess you all missed the 400GB Sandisk for $99 on Amazon. I was trying to hold out for Samsung or SanDisk to come out with their 512GB micro SD card but realized it will probably be 12-18 months before price comes down to a palatable level so I settle for the 400GB for $100.
Best???? Well the 256GB HyperX Gaming uSD card... But only by a tiny margin (Claimed speeds: 100MB/s read speeds, 80MB/s write speeds):

Yeah that's actually a great deal. I think it's even marked down and it's Black Friday so...
Also have this one and love it
Also, using Samsung Evo 128.
Wish i could have purchased the 512 gb samsung sdcard on their website with my note 9, not fair why we cant get one for that same price for early preorders
Just curious, and to get ideas, guys. What reasons do you have for getting such large SD cards, perhaps lots of photos/videos? Currently still using my old 32Gb SD card from my Note 4 and still works well for backups and photos, plus w/ the Note 9's 128Gb, I've barely reached half. Where do you guys use it for, perhaps I may find some more usefulness for it and get a new, larger one. Thanks.

Exactly that. Videos, photos, music and documents. I rather have it on my device than access through the cloud.

Some people just consume more media and need more space for media than others. Games these days are also quite heavy for storage so they can eat up your internal pretty easily. And just to add to what @DarkManX4lf has said, some users would rather not be at the mercy of data coverage to access cloud storage. Having your media and other files on hand 24/7 regardless of data/WiFi coverage is a valuable option.
If your usage habits currently don't necessitate the use of a large Micro SD card then I don't see the point in replacing the one you have now.

I now use my cell more than my desktop/laptop. I can go an entire week or so without getting on there. So between it being my main computer at home, work, car, etc and also needing extra space for Gear VR games/media, the larger card is well used.
