So, in an attempt to help give back to a community that's provided me with info like this countless times, I am going to compare two high end Micro SD cards, and one pretty typical class 10. I threw the class 10 in at the last second kinda as a baseline and I'm glad I did

Not going to make observations, just post my results. I used an app that allowed me to adjust files size, and that was set at 307MB, and the testsbwere executed on my VZW GS4 running Hyperdrive RLS2
SanDisk Class 10;
Write - 7.9MB/s
Read - 30.87MB/s
Samsung Pro UHS-1
Write - 16.05MB/s
Read - 27.22MB/s
SanDisk Ultra UHS-1
Write - 7.17MB/s
Read - 30.25MB/s
If anyone wants me to test using a another APP, or under a different set of parameters let me know

My SanDisk Ultra speed is better.
The best micro SD card for Samsung Galaxy S4
The app in that article was the first app I downloaded to test, but I didnt think it was as accurate. And both yielded differant results, when I adjusted size of the data packet to match the apo from that article I was able to get much faster results on all three

Sandisk Ultra 32GB Micro SDHC vs Samsung PRO 64GB Micro SDXC (Using Samsung Note 3)
First post!
I would also like to submit my test results.
Bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 32GB (9505) and it came with a free Sandisk Ultra 32GB Micro SDHC card.
I just received my Samsung PRO 64GB Micro SDXC from Amazon.co.uk today and thought I would do some benchmarks on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 32GB (9505).
Please check the images attached to this post down below.
Results using A1 SD Bench Android App
Sandisk Ultra 32GB Micro SDHC
Read: 21.14MB/s
Write: 8.07MB/s
Samsung PRO 64GB Micro SDXC
Read: 22.50MB/s
Write: 14.41MB/s
There we have it. Samsung is nearly twice as fast as for write speed. Read speeds are similar. Nothing close to the 70Mb/s read and 20MB/s write speed that Samsung advertise.
Both cards were tested after a reboot and closing all apps in memory and then running A1 SD Bench.
Although both cards are Class 10 and UHS-I, the note 3 cannot take advantage of UHS-I speeds as it is not UHS-I compliant. I'm sure if i put these two in my laptop and ran a test they would both be faster and closer to their respected advertised speeds.
I would have liked to have bought the Sandisk Extreme 64GB Micro SDXC card, but it's so ridiculously overpriced and I assume the read / write speeds would be slightly better than the Samsung PRO, but as my Note 3 is not UHS-I compliant, the price is not worth it if using solely in your Samusung Galaxy Note 3 (9505). I think the non LTE version running the enoxys processor is UHS-I compliant, so would be interesting in running the tests on that phone, but that phone is rare in the UK.
If anyone has this phone and any of the 3 cards i have mentioned in this post, please do post your results.
Hope this post helps someone who is deciding on which to buy.
Got my sammy pro sd a couple days ago. Haven't had time to test it. Had to find a kernal that supports exfat lol.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
The Qualcomm versions are useless since they don't support UHS.
The i9500 is semi-useless because it is configured by default to support only SDR50 bandwidths, but can be raised to SDR104 in a kernel.
The N900 Note 3 supports SDR104 out of the box and can fully use the full speeds.
Hi everyone,
According to your recommendations, just bought this card: Samsung MicroSDHC Plus - (class 10, UHS-1,48 MB/s) 32 gb. I' ll let you know about the benchmarks!!
I bought it because I was using an old microSD card and the results with A1 SD were awful: Writing 3,9MB/s - Reading 11,7MB/s.

I bought a cheap slow one. Its class 2 thats the only kind they make Dandisk 16gig Class to for 75 bucks.
Anyone know the speed difference between Class 2 and 6. Someone posted that the writing speed doubled but the reading spead was just a little better.

The Class refers to the number of Mb/sec. Therefore Class 2 is 2Mb /sec. Class 4 is 4 and Class 6 is 6. See http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/speed_class/

The 16Gb MicroSD of SanDisk only comes in Class2

And that's the only 16Gb microSD I've seen so far.
So not a lot of choice I'm afraid

This is the same card I've got Call of Duty 2 PPC Working on.
Just noticed the picture on your first post is different to that of SanDisk microSDHC™ 16GB Card
Note the 2 next to SanDisk on the image which my card has too - so be careful of fake cards
My Sandisk 16GB MicroSDHC card is working perfectly for a couple of weeks now (its Class 2, currently the only Class available in 16GB microSDHC cards - many are advertising Class 4 but this is incorrect).
Anyone know how fast Touch Pros writing/reading speed is on memorycards?
Im about to order the Sandisk 16gb class 2 now, but am a bit afraid that the speed is to low?? My second choice is the Sandisk Ultra 8gb class 6..
Is their a noticable difference between them, except the storage?
Will be used mainly for, tomtom music and video and some gaming.
I mean, can the TP really take advantage of the high speed of the Ultra card?
Thanks
Has anyone seen a 32Gb mico SD working on the FUZE?
Anyone found them in the USA yet? (besides Ebay).
Hi,
after having lots of lag issues with class 10 cards and data2sd or data2whatever, I found out that what's most important for a card is random write speeds.
Even though they can sustain really high sequential write speeds (more than 10MB/s), class 10 cards have really bad random write. Unfortunately, I didn't test the random write speeds on the 2 class 10 cards I bought (and returned...). From what I've seen on the web, these speeds can be as low as 8KB/s at 4Kb block size
What I can tell you is that my old 4gb class2 sandisk random write speed is about 30KB/s at 4Kb block size. This card was a LOT better than the class 10 cards I tried, in terms of lag.
I bought a Sandisk 8GB Mobile Ultra, class 4, and I'm really happy with it. The random write speed is 1.7MB/s at 4kb block size (almost 57x faster than my old card).
So, my conclusion is: If you want to use scripts like data2sd or data2whatever, go for cards with high random write speeds instead of class.
Well, so i am happy i bought same card you now have. but still some apps seems a bit laggy even with the ultra card.
install sd tools from market then see how fast they really r
I also have a sandisk mobile ultra 8gb class4...price 19,90€ from mediaworld.
It's a fine card capable of write and read small files in very very short times
8GB class 6 Sandisk mobile ultra - I'm affraid there's no class 10 card to compare with this one

What software did you use to find out your microSD random write speeds ?
Windows based ? Android based ?
anybody any idea of *SanDisk Memory Card Mobile Ultra 8 GB Class 6* is compatable with *Samsung Fascinate I500* Mobile handset.
is it faster than "Transcend Memory Card MicroSDHC 8GB Class 10".

What is the max read/write speed Galaxy R supports? If I go for Class 10, can Galaxy R fully make use of the speed microSD offers?
Also I was going through other forums and there were comments mentioning Class 2 cards of some companies (read sandisk) faster than Class 4/Class 6 cards of others Is it true?
Final question - which one should I go for - sandisk or transcend?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

i think you should go for a class 4 card.
as this phone does not have 1080p recording, we wont be even using the class 4 card to its full capacity.
A class 6 in my opinion. Is better to have more, than less.
Considering price, availability in India and some reading up of threads on XDA forums, I bought Transcend 32GB Class 4 micro sdhc on ebay (1800INR/36USD). Using it on my GR and satisfied till now. Getting 4.4 MB/s Write and 18.6 MB/s Read speeds on an average.
Basicaly the diference between class 4, 6 and 10 will be in the writing, because reading they will be near 18-19MB/s. I have bench with sd tools and Antutu a 2Gb class 4 by kingston and my actual 32Gb class 10 by Samsung. The diference in writing speed is evident, but using one, or the other is not a big diference because this phone needs only 2-3mb/s writting.
In another hand, with tegra 2 and the 5Mpx sensor it's not impossible to think about an improvement in recording video in fullhd in a near future, of course with no high rate of fps... But this posibility has to be considered now because flash memories are in a cheap moment and class 10 microsd can be found at the same price of a 2 months ago class 4.
Another advantage with the class 10 microsd is that if you use to load movies, or heavy files to your phone you will need less than a half of time to transfer them. And I think, but take that as a feeling, the class 10 microsd opens quicker the galery, specialy when you have an album with a big number of pics. It could be sth related with latency, or better acces to diferent parts of the memory... This makes me exceptic about the reading benchs of Antutu.
I leave you some screencaptures of the benchmarks.

If you use to have a lot of apps, games and gps maps it could be interesting to change the external microsd memory to the main memory of the system. This will let you have 32gb for apps, games, etc... And in this case the best choice is a class 10 memory, because it will increase the system performance!!

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.

Is that correct.. no support for 128GB ??
I saw the same review when released but I haven't seen any evidence to support that since.
it supports 128gb cards, there are videos floating around on YouTube that prove it
It supports 128GB cards

Well crap... I need a 128GB card now. I already maxed out my 64GB with 1080p videos.
Looking at the UHS-3 cards 'cause of the 4k recording. Wiki
(Class 10 now evidently has 2 write speed levels. (UHS 1 10Mb min and UHS 3 30 mb min for 4K video)
The biggest I'm seeing in the UHS-3 is 64mb .
Have any of you 128 users tried to feed 4k video into it yet?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_class_rating
They printed the specs when 128gb card wasn't available. Now manufactures came out with 128gb and they just not update the specs, however for sure 128gb should work fine with various devices too (where the specs said only 64gb), not just the note.

Realize that you don't need U3 for the note 4, the Note 4 is incapable of reading/writing at those speeds. No phone out there supports those high UHS-I speeds. 4K on the Note 4 is 50Mbits (roughly 6MBytes/sec). A class 10 card is good up to 10Mbytes/sec (or 80Mbits/sec). Plenty fast for 4K.
GoPro 4 requires U3, but that's something entirely different
I bought the 128gb 48mbps SanDisk for my note 3 and it works perfect on my note 4.
