[Q] Tried & Tested MicroSD Cards - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for a rock solid reliable card for this device. I was thinking a 32gb samsung evo or sandisk ultra (I'd prefer 64gb size if these work). I read some people have been able to use 64gb+ SD cards with success. However, on the previous model people were having problems with various cards including the samsung evo and sandisk ultra. Some people suggesting class 6 works better than class 10. I don't know. I'm just confused now and want a fast reliable SD card for my phone with 32/64gb storage.
I've read about a lot of problems with previous moto g's and microsd issues. I currently have 2 lexar class 10 32gb SD cards and both work for a few weeks and then tell me the SD card is damaged. I notice when I check the card on my mac some of the files on the SD card appear corrupted and are 0kb in size. I had this problem with these cards with my old ZTE skate so assumed it was the SD card at fault but I'm not sure.
Are the microSD card issues of previous devices fixed now or is it still very much an issue?
Could we perhaps make a list of tried and tested cards what work perfectly in Moto G 4G LTE 2nd Gen XT1072?
Thanks!

i use team group micro sd card and it's good because there is no fake right now !!!
if you access to buy original try sandisk or patriot

I do not have any problems with the sd on my moto g 4g, I have 32 GB micro SD and everything works.

[Q] Is pulling from micro sd card as fast as internal memory

(1) I'm going to buy a galaxy s4 when it comes out. I know it would probably be cheaper to buy the 16 mg version ,then buy micro sd card.
My question is does the phone work faster from the internal memory or does it pulll info just as fast from a micro sd card?
(2). Would sandisk extreme pro be a good choice ?

I was told that sandisk doesn't work well with Samsung brand so I suggest you to buy Samsung sd card as well
Like anything, internal memory will always be faster...

i have been using the SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC Class 10 and it works fine in the sg3
just make sure you get the ultra class 10 as it has faster speeds than the lower class cards
put the things that need to pull up fast on the internal memory like apps and put everything else on the card like music and things you wont notice a difference on

Not always true. I recommend reading benchmark test on the card you want to by and its competitors. I've seen some benchmarks where a Class 6 Sandisk beat out a Kingston Class 10 in the past in "some" writing areas.
I had a nightmare with sandisk in general both in my dslr and GS2. I use Lexar now and never had one issue. Sandisk has great customer service though. Refunded all 3 of my pro cards.

If the Galaxy S4 supports the UHS sdcards (45mb or 90mb read/write) then that would be as fast as you need imho.

This is extremely true! Never trust an SD card by what the claims are on the box. I have purchased many SD cards (all brands) over the last couple of months. 6 class 10 Sandisk all 32GB from different sources (Amazon, Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc...) and none of them benchmarked in at class 10. Most were between class 4 and 8 write speeds with read speeds being a bit better. 2 PNY 32 GB class 10 cards. Both of those tested above class 10 performance but died within 2 weeks. I have not been able to find and Amazon Basics 32 GB Class 10, but the other Amazon cards I have tried have worked well. Samsung cards seem to work well as well, but I have not benchmarked any of them. It really seems to be a crapshoot if you get a good card or not. Each specific device seems to like some brands better than others. Also, there is a huge (and I mean huge) problem with counterfeit cards and misrepresented (changed) class of cards flooding all markets. So good luck and let everyone know if you find a good card.
I also would say, download and do a full write format on the card with sdformatter https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ prior to use. I have gotten many 4 speed cards to record hd video on my t3i just by using that software, when a regular format won't work.

32gb.
Everything higher would be SDxc and thus not compatible with our device
I'm using a class 4 card and feel it's sufficient. But since SD cards are fairly cheap in most countries nowadays, I'd choose a class 10 card. They just read and write way quicker (and can subsequently also be applied to enhance your RAM ).

[Q] Which 32gb micro SD to buy for this tab?

So I read many posts about the GT7+ and 7.7 with a lot of talk about problems with 64gb cards, sandisk class 10 cards,etc. Just curious about people's experiences with getting 32gb cards for this tab? Do other brands of non sandisk 32gb class 10 cards work (read and write) for this tab? Or should I try to find a class 4/6 to be safe?
Thx
The problem with SD cards is that the controller for reading/writing them is not on the card but on the device to save costs on the card side.
This means that your device is limited in SD capacity by its controller. As far as I know, the tab+ lists SD sizes up to 32GB as compatible, so a 64GB card will probably fail (or only show 32GB).
Most 32GB cards should not cause any problem.
Class 10 is always better the limitation with the 64gb must be because your ROM needs to read ExFAT instead of FAT32, i have not try the 64gb and don't know about a specific ROM with ExFAT support but i'm willing to try.
I have been using a class 6 Sandisk 64 card in my 6210 for the past 18 months or so. Before the class 6 card, i tried two class 10 Sandisk 64 cards and they were both unable to be read by the 6210. I tried to reformat them and they were completely unusable afterwards. I then got two Transcend 64 class 10 cards from amazon and they worked fine. I've got those cards in both of my samsung galaxy players (4.0 & 5.0)

[Q] 128gb micro SD card?

Hi there,
I know the specs say that only 64gb cards are supported, but has anyone tried a 128gb card?
I've searched quite a bit but I haven't been able to find a definitive answer either way.
Thanks
Yes, it works. I have been using the Lexar 633x.
Are you sure, can I insert MicroSDHC from Sandisk 128GB ?
i have sandisk u1 class card 128gb works normally

Compatible Memory Cards for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910C

Hi guys, i am looking forward to purchase a Memory Card for My Note 4 N910C, that supports Up to 128gb as mentioned on GSMArena.com, So my query is about to Memory cards, So please suggest me which company memory card i should buy. as there are lots of options available on internet.
The best microSD Cards on the market are those made by Sandisk and Samsung. Either of those brand will work perfectly with the N910C. I have a N910C with a 32GB Sandisk Ultra MicroSD Card, which I will be upgrading to a 128GB card when I find one in my local high street retailer.
I would highly recommend sticking to Samsung cards in a Samsung device. I know there is a lot of debate about this, but from my personal experience, I have had no less than 4 Sandisk 64Gb cards fail in various Samsung devices (phones and tablets), but I have never had a Samsung card fail. Currently I am using a Samsung 64Gb PRO, but the EVO should be fine too. Hoping to get a 128Gb PRO once the prices come down a little more.
Tested to Sandisk 200gb SD card on my Note 4 910A.

Samsung 128GB micro SD EVO UHS-I Class 10 48MB/s
I've been using this one pretty heavily in my N910C ever since I own it. Never have a problem whatsoever. Ultra reliable. Samsung storage yields the highest MTBFs in the field. Probably removed planned obsolence from the equation entirely, since they know that when 4 billion humans will want to buy their storage that will be more than enough to break-even and keep in business..

Thnaks jult !
thanks for the opinion.
Buy samsung ones. I had a 32GB Sandisk Extreme, and it died within 1 month in Note 4.
I have sandisk ultra 64gb before, it's work perfectly on my s4.. but after a few month (almost full) it's became slow n sometimes stuck when transferring file from internal to external card, now I'm using galaxy note 4 SM-N910H and I'm using Samsung EVO+ 128GB, write speed always stable on 20mbps.. expect if I copying a lot of small file (like game data) it will be slow, but until now I have no problem with my card, so if u have samsung device why didn't you use the same brand with your device?
for me.. take the 128GB EVO+
(I wanna have the 256GB EVO+ but the price too high for now, so I'm choosing the 128gb for now)
i use a 64gb strontium and works well still

I love sandisk. have never had a problem with them. I bought a 128 gb from bb for 30 bucks. not bad . hopefully you find something as good
I have a "SanDisk 128GB microSDXC Memory Card Ultra Class 10"(80mbps read), it works great but I feel like it is tougher on the battery life every since I have my samsung 64gb replaced.
I've installed a Samsung 128GB Evo+ (faster than Evo, slower than Pro) in my N910V. When on Marshmallow, I looked at integrating it as a part of built-in memory, and the OS (CM13) complained that it was a bit too slow for that. I decided not to integrate. not so much for speed as I wanted to be able to switch ROMs and wasn't sure how that'd be with an integrated SD card. It's been fine (using it to store music, audiobooks, videos, ebooks, CoPilot maps, TiBackup backups and Nandroid backups)
