When buying a new Micro SD card, does brand really matter?

title says it all, i want to get a new micro SD card cuz i dont have enough space for my music on my 16GB so i wantex to know if brand really matters when buying micros cuz i can get a cheaper price on smaller name brands. so, opinions?

I would say it depends on where you buying them from. I would never buy a micro sd card from ebay or similar sites because they might say Samsung on them and you can get them from real cheap, You wouldn't know if they are REAL samsung micro sd cards.
I usually buy mine from newegg.com and they start at $10 for 16gb

I can't say what the difference is to the phone. I bought a 32GB PNY class 10 so I would be able to cut the time it takes to download from my computer to the card with a reader. I have a usb3 port and usb3 reader on my PC which is used mostly for photography. But when I transfer music and movies to my card for my phone it is faster by three fold.

The faster the card, really the better. If you get some random off brand, who knows where that card came from, and if the speed rating is even accurate. Some places house brands are pretty good though, I dunno who makes Microcenter's memory but they are very cheap and have yet to have a problem with them. However the real issue would be reliability. It's always a good idea to backup your card, but I rather have my data and photos on a name I can trust. 60 bucks for the PNY 32gb class 10 was a good deal for me.
On this particular phone, you can consider the SD card like your computer's hard drive. Would you really go get some off-brand from ebay for your PC to save a few dollars? I know I wouldn't. Not worth the headache of losing important data.

I understand faster cards works better. However, I never really notice any difference in speed in my class 4, class 6 or class 10 in Galaxy 4g. I do notice little different in my galaxy s2. I can see the difference when I run benchmarks but in my opinion the speed of card also depends on speed of your device.

i would love to get a PNY one, but ive bought three usb drives from them and all of them habe literally fallen apart...

I would agree with this. The name only is relevant if your buying from a unknown vendor. But if your going with newegg or some other online retailer other than some random ebay auction as long as it is the size you want I dont think it really matters.
The class of the sdcard is somewhat releveant depending on what you are doing with it. The typical android user will not notice that much of a increase of a class 10 over a class 4. But if your taking bunches of photos and videos or playing videos on your phone the class ten are going to perform "better".
Just to reiterate the name brand isnt as much of a issue if you are buying from a legit source. I bought a dane elctric one several years back and haven't had any problems other than the adapter went out. The card itself works flawlessly.

for short, i would buy a memory card with reasonable price and wouldn't easily break ;-)

When I was looking for a new sd card I found this article to be extremely helpful. It even has some different name brands for comparison as well as links to more information about different classes and user reviews.

My PNY 32GB class 10 speed.
Sequential
21.59MB/s read - 11.55MB/s write
This is using a 50MB file.
I would like to test the 4k transfers, but in order to test with a file size less than 50MB I would have to wipe the card. I'll do it just not any time real soon.

It really depends on how exactly you are using your sd card. I know in the OP you said you have a lot of music. Do you typically clear all of your music and transfer all new stuff to the phone?
I have been using a sandisk class 6 for quite some time now and I absolutely love it. It is perfect for my needs. But I do not do a lot of heavy music on my sd card. I have read that even the class 10 Lexar sd cards have terrible random speeds, so I would definitely avoid them at all costs.

no, i just drop music on the card from my laptop, never a complete replacement

I would definitely agree with that.
This site has a really good deal on a class 4 32gb for today only. I order from them quite a bit. The only issue I ever have is sometimes it takes a while to be delivered.

avoid amazon? or..
if I order from amazon, should I be wary of the brand name? like, have some of you bought via amazon what appeared to be a kingston or whatever known brand, only to find it probably is not?
I read the advice about watching the source carefully....

I have not ever had that issue with amazon before. I guess that it is possible but very unlikely in my opinion.
Its not like ebay where i would never trust that it is legitimate. I have ordered quite a bit from amazon without a single hitch or mistake.
Always be wary of ordering online though... because it can happen.

As long as it is from amazon and not a store. But again amazon is better about policing its stores than ebay is. I have bought from amazon many times and not once had a problem with getting a different product then what I ordered.

that's comforting. so I shall order the sandisk 32gb microsd from them. not bad for 25 bucks I guess. I hear it works fine in the Galaxy s 4G.
you know.... this is an aside... I am getting that phone [its on the way] for my wife, but I fear I shall like it. .. then what? but she's never used Android b4 so maybe she will barf

I'm a little iffy about ordering these really low price cards from vendors off Amazon or Ebay, just because of the rumors of them sometimes not being legit. Not saying they're all bad just cautious about certain things. Anyway, just bought the one in the link from best buy which I know is completely worth it and legit. Sandisk ultra 32gb class 6.
Are you using the 64GB card in your sensation?

Be VERY carefull buying flash memory off the internet... almost all of it is counterfeit 2GB cards sold as 32GB cards. This means devices will see them as 32GB cards, but if you save more than 2GB to it, it will start overwriting previously saved files. I've encountered several of these fake cards. Before you use flash memory from the internet, test it with this program. It takes a while, but it's worth testing it now rather than losing important files.

Fuddggggeee, I was just looking on my computer the other night and I saw a great deal on Newegg for a class 10 64g card- I don't got the link and I forgot the name as I'm on my phone and I was just browsing, but it'd just take a look on the site.

I bought a 64gb sandisk ultra class 10 for $25 a little over a week ago from Amazon warehouse. It was slightly used but looks and performs as new. I saw the deal on slickdeals. Not sure if there are any left. They seem to sell fast once offered.

I see quite a few really cheap micro SD cards on eBay but I'm scared of purchasing a knock-off. Does anyone have experience with this?

Can you give me the link to the Micro SD card?

wttisme said:
I don't have experience with the ones on eBay but I would definitely stick with well-known sellers. FYI the 64GB card is back on Amazon for $25.06 now. I'm thinking about ordering one. Reviews on Slickdeals say that the cards are legit with expected speeds.
Edit: Also now shows they're coming in stock on May 1 as opposed to May 7. I went ahead and ordered one. If it's bogus Amazon is pretty easy with returns.
Seems that you just need to refresh every few minutes as they're going in and out of stock.

128GB Micro SD Memory Card real or fake.

I found out about two weeks ago there was a 128 gb micro sd out, and it was going for $200, but if you pre ordered it with Amazon you only paid $119.00, but you had to wait 4-6 weeks for it to be sent to you. I didn't have the extra funds in my account to get this.
So i said to myself i'll wait, and get it when i have to extra cash to spend. Now that i have it, Amazon is no longer selling it at that price.
here's why on the bottom of of the amazon page.

2) only buy flash sd or micro sd from a store with an excellent return policy such as bestbuy or futureshop.
Yes you'll pay premium dollar but the reality is there are fake memory cards everywhere and the retalers don't even know they are selling it and if they don't even know they are selling it, good luck proving it!
Also 69 is way too good to be true! you need at least clash 10 on android and and heck Sandisk is the only memory card manufacturer that has proven their use on android, if it not Sandisk, forget about it!
I hate fake memory cards, worst thing about them is how much time you invest in trying to fix them! You spend the first week in denial that you could possibly been sold a fake memory card and spend all this time formatting and re-formatting them with different applications and operating systems, try different roms, different kernel combinations, posting help because your rom is acting buggy, lose data? and all the while reason for all your woes has been due to using a fake memory card.

Very probably fake, i was buying mine twp months ago and the one with the largest storage was 64 gb. More than enough for 99% of uses.

That wouldn't even work for our phone. You going to use it on the Find 7 or something?

Works just fine, as has been shown numerous times. At the moment the specsheet for the S4 was made there were no 128GB cards.
So I assume you just looked at the specs to get that (wrong) assumption?

128GB SD cards will work with our phones with a SD to MicroSD adapter. i use one now.
in fact it will go up to 256GB
NOTE must be formatted to Fat32 to best compatability, also depending on your kernel.

Sandisk are making some (soon) though?

The 128GB card works on the S4, even though I have mine in my Note 3.

I believe he was talking about the Samsung from Newegg. This is definitely fake. As said before, anything above 32GB is SDXC, not SDHC like in the picture. Also Samsung has not yet releases 128GB. Also, look at the picture. "12" is of a different font /size than "8". The reviews for the seller "Redtagonline" has 2 stars out of 5. Just preorder from Amazon. Make sure you format it as either Fat32, or eXFat if your Kernel supports exFat

Man, Amazon still advertising @ $119 but been out of stock forever.

I have the Sandisk 128gb from Amazon in my S4, it works great without problem.
The micro sd to SD card adapter that comes with the micro SD did not work with either PC or Mac, so I had to plug my card into my card reader instead, which worked fine.

Are you UK based or not?

If you are in the U.K try 7dayshop.com or mymemory.co.uk or picstop.co.uk, I have been using them for years and in the respect of 7dayshop, their own brand is also trustworthy.

Good call, was going to recommend 7day also! :highfive:
Their 64GB micro sdcard is only £22, but out of stock at the moment, their 32GB card is also reasonable at £13.

I would only buy a card on Amazon if it was "SOLD" and "FULFILLED" by Amazon.
I would not buy one that was only fulfilled by Amazon.
Never from eBAY.
I bought a 128GB card from Amazon. -> Amazing...

Someone else psoted this, and its currently out of stock but worth keeping an eye on.

local stores are best. However they don't have all sd cards you can find on the internet, but they have class 10, 6, 4 and 2 sd cards.
I have bought a class 6 16gb for 20 euro, samsung mark, never had problems with it. Only one time the partition was damaged (RAW partition), fortunately I could recover my data with TestDisk

I bought this one (32GB) a week ago and it's working great with a one year warranty. Also available in other sizes in this same link. Plus it's inexpensive and brand name. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FIYF0OE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hi
I bought a samsung pro 64gb sdxc from ebay member ''evelectron_tech''
Seems to be good store but will see.

I bought a 64GB on amazon through a partner and was burned with an 8GB fake. Even if the card "works" you need to fill it up AND test the files to see if it works. Amazon did refund promptly and I settled on a more reputable seller on Amazon (SoCal Trade). Reviews are your friend, and if it's too new to have any reviews, avoid.

Go to bestbuy and for a few dollars more you can get the sandisk 128gb which is out now. Works beautifully on our S4

How much is the 128GB one?

I got mine for 115.

I recommend
Samsung Electronics 16/32/64GB EVO Micro SDHC 48MB/s Class 10 Memory Card (MB-MP32DA/AM)

I'd get this one:

they've got that car in stock cheaper than anywhere and have close to 160,000 positive feedback left and 5 stars. That's a LOT of positive feedback
They're B&H Photography, you can see em on this list:

but that is the fastest microSD in the world. 50% faster than Sandisk's next fastest. It's likely my next one. Consistent speed of 45 read and write. with bursts of 80 reading, 50 writing

I second this... bought the same one. Works well

apparently Toshiba released a competition-destroying MicroSD. So far all I can see is it appears to be called simply UHS-II. While every other of the top MicroSD cards are UHS-I, this one easily deserves the UHS-II designation. While the previous Title-holders were just shy of 50MB/s. This one in it's 32GB form is 260MB/s read and 240MB/s write. The 64, while significantly slower, is still much faster than the rest, reading at 145MB/s and writing at 130MB/s. Quite impressive. But I can't find a model $ or anywhere selling it
but here's the report on it:
