Samsung 32GB Class 10 or Sandisk 32GB Class 4

I'm very tempted to get one of these cards. I did search and read a lot about the sandisk card. But there isn't much about the samsung class 10 card. Can someone please shed some light on it.

save yourself some cash and get a samsung 32gb class 6,

I try both on my Sensation....i think Samsung is just a little bit better but noothing special.

samsung or sandisk
you should look at the sandisk mobile ultra 32gb class 6.
not the cheapest card,but I would say the undisputted class six speed demon.

take the class 4 one, you dont need the speed of a class 10 on the phone it's just wasting money

Have a search for one of the SD card threads which should have detailed benchmark data in. Maximum read and write speads are not the only important factors. If you mean this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-MB-MSBGAEU-32GB-Class-Micro/dp/B005FY61EK, I can confirm it works well. I benchmarked mine before I put anything on it and, in megabytes per second it scored:
Seq Read: 20.06 Seq Write: 12.10
512k Read: 19.82 512k Write: 11.86
4k Read: 4.777 4k Write: 1.270
4k QD32 Read: 4.917 4k QD32 Write: 1.271
The 4k read and write values are apparently very important for us as the phone will read and write lots of small files to the SD.
These speeds ECLIPSE my Sandisk 16GB class 4 card and explain why Android on my old HD2 was slow whenever I put apps n stuff on the SD card. Hope this helps you make your mind up. Try and find that thread : )

I'm looking at the Sandisk Mobile Ultra class 6. I think I will go for that. Anyone's got one yet?

Saw this in a shop today and thought of getting it but it's a waste of money really. I think I'll just go for the Class 4 or 6 32 GB sandisk card.

Hello there!

isn't a class 10 better for multi-booting a rom from an sd-card? I think both brands are pretty good

I got the class 10 Samsung the ouzo posted the link for, blazing fast & apparently waterproof, so if your phone ends up in a beer glass (happens more often than I'd like) the data is safe

It is always better to buy the fastest card. My choice would be Samsung Class 10

Yep. Go for speed first.

16gb class 4
I've been using a 16gb class 4 sandisk and it works exactly as stated. Usually writes between 4-5 MB/s and reads between 20-30 MB/s. Its been very consistant and I've had no problems. If your looking for a dependable card id go with the sandisk.

I have one of the original 32gb SanDisk Class 2 MicroSDHC cards and a PNY Class 10 32gb
So far I haven't noticed a difference, Other than I filled the SanDisk already and got the PNY so I could archive the SanDisk

Does the clad of your memory card affect how full hd videos record ?? I'm using a class 4 and it sometimes freezes during playback then picks back up would a class 10 eliminate this.

Help Chosing SD Card

I have a 16 GB Kingston class 10 micro SD and it works quite fine. Now I am thinking of increasing my storage and browsed the rates of 32 GB SD cards. Although they seem affordable but the reviews for them are quite bad. Is it advisable to buy a 32GB class 10 SD card?.
Further, if yes, which brand would you suggest?

don't ever buy verbatim or strontium.....

SAMSUNG
Got a Samsung PRO 16 GB C10. There were two variants i.e PRO and PLUS. The PLUS variant is a little costly but if you have got some extra money its surely worth it. The card claims to have a 48 MBPS read speed. What I am getting is a decent write speed ranging from 9-15 MBPS.

Sandisk
Go for sandisk. I m using Sandisk 32 gb class 10 sd card for 7 months there is no problems yet

Try Sony SR-32UYA

Could you post the Writing/Reading speedtest of your 16GB Class 10 card? (download SDTools from Playstore and run it) I'm thinking of buying the same!!
Also, Are you rooted??

64gb Sandisk extreme

Anyone try this card out on the S4? Is there a huge difference in speeds between the ultra and extreme? My 64gb "samsung" brand microsd card is failing on me and im in the market for a new card and i learned my lesson so i dont mind spending the extra bucks for a "reliable" card .
just need an opinion if its worth spending twice the money for the extreme?

i have the class 10 sandisk microSDHC; works fine zero issues. GF has one in her S4 too.

I also confirm that it works.

64GB SanDisk cards in my Galaxy 4, Nook Tablet, and HTC Vision all working with no problems.

But can and does the Samsung S4 support the faster speeds that the extreme offers ?
I thought the reader in the S4 was limited. Can anyone confirm ?

It would seam to me the hardware speed must be limited, I was using a class 4 16gb card moved to a 64gb uhs1/class 10 and acording to sdcard speed test the write speed is actually slower or about equal compaired to the class 4 which doesn't make sense to me unless my card is crap.

that is exactly what i wanted to know, the extreme offeres faster speeds but does the S4 support that? If it doesnt then id just buy the samsung extreme pro for $65 from amazon rather than paying $100 something for the sandisk extreme

i have the class 10 and it work great

Class 10 is only 10MB write /sec. Its not fast.
Sandisk Extreme is 50MB/sec but Ive read that the S4 micro SD is limited and the maximum you can get is 20MB/sec
so theres very little benefit in getting one with faster speeds.
May as well save money and get a slower one.

1080P video recording [technically] requires a Class 6 card or better.
The faster your SD card is, the faster some activities will complete. Like Titanium Backups or making a nandroid of your ROM. These are write intensive activities and if you're not a patient kind of person, then go with the fastest SD card you can get.
Otherwise, I'd get a Class 6 at a minimum. And make sure to get a real card because eBay is flooded with fake SD cards that are slower than advertised speed.

Recommendations would be most appreciated.

I would recommend you Samsung MicroSDXC 64GB PRO Memory Card. Also other Samsung cards are great.
Very good read/write speeds.

I put a Lexar 128 GB 1000x in my MXP and it is functioning great.

I'm considering purchase of this phone - sounds like support for a micro SDcard works well, so is there any benefit to buying the 64 or 32GB internal storage models vs. the 16GB model? I can capture video and do TWRP backups to the (relatively inexpensive) SDcard, so what am I missing on a cheaper 16GB phone?

Is the Moto X a UHS-I or UHS-II compatible host device? The extra cost of these higher-end sdcards would be wasted otherwise, correct?
Edit - I googled this topic and found this post: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/8cda627ead . In short, it confirms that the Moto X benefits from / takes advantage of a UHS-1 U3 microSD card. @EmperorX makes a good suggestion.
I still want to know if I really want to spend extra for a 32 or 64GB Moto X, given that I can buy a 32GB UHS-1 U3 card for US $15.

Both cards are UHS-I class U3
It does support uhs-1 from what I've read. We'll see, my wife's card gets here on Wed and I'll test out. Sandisk extreme pro.

I see you've read what I read.

Problem
and what the maximum amount of the SD card can be used as system memory? I have a card to 64GB, and when you try to make it a system unit for a long time it formats, but it is empty and then says that the card is damaged, but if you use it like a regular card, it works fine and displays. Do not tell me what could be the problem?

Can you report on the relative performance of your higher-end microSD card vs. the internal storage? For example:
compare the time it takes to do a TWRP backup of the whole phone to internal vs. the microSD card
Capture full QHD video directly to the microSD card
etc.
Thanks!

I've got a generic 32gb class 10 and I have it as internal and its really laggy when I use Facebook, twitter etc so at the moment I just chuck my games on there. If I get a San disk extreme or pro will that eliminate the lag?

Maybe... But don't expect it to. Internal memory is much faster than even the fastest SD card. If you must use your SD card as internal storage for apps due to space, then move low usage apps to external card and heavy use ones to internal

Probably me, I have a Sandisk Ultra 200GB card. Works fine, no issues at all, ends up around 180GB usable. I've formatted it in both ext4 and exfat, both work fine. I did some benchmarks in another thread around here somewhere. Any questions, feel free.

Moto g Turbo edition - which memory card?

Hello,
I brought my turbo Edition Moto g on 14th January. I want to know which memory will work best with this mobile.
I am interested in 32GB, class 10 memory card. However, motorola support told me that class 10 MAY have compatibility issues with moto g turbo.
Please suggest if anyone is using class 10, 32GB card with this mobile? Also, please share me flipkart link of same if possible. Also, if not then which card you are using share it here for better selection.
OR suggest me if I should not go for class 10?
Thanks.

Using SanDisk 64 GB Class 10... NO issues till date...

Basically, get the biggest and fastest card you can afford from a dealer who is reputable (there are TONS of fake cards out there)...
UHS-1 as minimum, UHS-3 is possible although I understand in some parts of the world they are expensive and hard to fine... a normal Class 10 card does not allow fast enough writing to it. I would recommend in no particular order any quality SanDIsk, PNY, Transcend, Lexar, or Samsung card with a minimum of UHS-1 support, buying a faster card is definitely worth it if you can find/afford one.
Try to avoid generic or lower end cards, the results will probably be... ummm... let's just say disappointing.

Portable mode.. As suggested get a UHS-1 or UHS-3 card for faster transfer speed. You will get 64 GB for 1400-1700 Rupees
