This is a link of 2015 best Micro SD cards. Samsung has 10 year warranty and sits at second with Pro. That's what I'm going with. Google originally skipped external data due to its lack of speed and durability. This chart will show you what you should get to prepare for Android M at the end of September.
https://www.ephotozine.com/article/top-10-best-microsd-memory-cards-2015-27366
SanDisk has a U3 card ,Xtreme pro, that wasn't tested and is rated at 95mb/s
I'd still go with a 10 year warranty. SD cards aren't always most reliable. With 10 years, at least you have peace of mind knowing it might last several years.
Samsung Pro+ isn't on here either, but that's $50 for 32GB, as opposed to $27 on Amazon.

My issue is I have had 2 Samsung's fail in the past. I have 10 different sized SanDisk cards in the house and some older than 10 years. A 10 year warranty doesn't make it a better card. My point is not to buy a card or any product based on warranty.

I'm not worried about a warranty on a sub $50 product. Especially one that has no moving parts.
I purchased the Sandisk Extreme Pro.
I ended up with the PNY. Fast and lifetime warranty: PNY U3 Turbo Performance 64GB High Speed MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-I, up to 90MB/sec Flash Card (P-SDUX64U390G-GE) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W77C1QU/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_7iJ7vbWPXSV4D

You just contradicted yourself by liking RyanTXs post haha! SD cards quit working for no reason all the time. No moving parts have nothing to do with it. Just magnetism and radio waves can cause them to lose all data and stop working.

Can I ask why no one purchased the Transcend card? In this review at least it was the fastest card right? Do they have a bad name or something?
I find it hard to believe that Sandisk is one of the worst performers. They're the most highly recognized name in sd cards.
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk
All SanDisk cards have lifetime guarantee. I've replaced a couple over the years and all you have to do is chat online with them and tell them when you bought the card and what's wrong with it. You get an RMA and send it in. You'll get your new card in a couple weeks.

Too bad the write performance dips when you get to 128 gigs. It'd be nice to see some comparison between the various 128 gig offerings, but whatever, I already bought a Sandisk one. I honestly have no idea why someone would buy a 32 gig microSD these days. With how cheap the cards are, I'd go 64 if interested in speed, 128 if interested in storage.
Never used more than 16GB in my phone ever. Never understood people who bought more storage than they knew they would need...

Some people like to put their entire music collection on their phones. Also if you plan to use the new 4K video recording feature, file sizes are about 350mb per minute.

That's odd, the sandisk works just fine in mine.
As low as $62 on Amazon right now. I got mine for $53. You gotta watch for price breaks.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_st?k...282,k:SanDisk+Ultra+64GB+microSDXC&sort=price
$53 is a darn good price. I got a SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC on a best buy daily deal for $49 about a month ago. Doesn't look like they even carry it now on their site, but Amazon has it for $82.
I bought one of the eBay 16.99 ones. We'll see what and if I get something.

Better check the the actual size of that card. On SD cards it is possible to fake the card so it reports a larger size than the card actually is.
You might look at this URL http://flashchiptech.wordpress.com/...ownload-to-check-flash-drives-and-memory-car/
Also it is best to format SD cards with a dedicated formatter. I like SDformatter
Also a good test program is H2testw See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730285

Are you letting it do the default ('exFAT") format in Windows/7? You don't want that, although it works with the Samsung ROM, it won't work with Cyanomod unless you format it as "FAT32" instead. You can use the command-line switches or there's a "FAT32 Gui" program somewhere around here - I can't seem to put my fingers on the link right now, but I found it within the past few days. If you can, use the phone to format it instead of a PC, that always insures FAT32. ("exFAT" isn't supported by CYM because of the funky licensing Microsoft has for exFAT)
Aside from card size, doesnt card speed play a factor in whether these 64gb cards will work? Isnt the appropriate question "what is the best deal on a 64gb class 10 SD card that actually works"?

However, Amazon now has Sandisk Class 10 64gb microSD cards for just over $50. also a very good deal, much less than they used to be, just over twice what two 32gb cards would cost.
Always better to get larger sizes if affordable. Even if you don't think you would use that much now, you might in the future.
What is outrageous is the phone manufacturers who do not include a slot for a memory card, and then charge totally outrageous prices for increased flash memory, $100 more for bumping up the flash memory by 16GB, etc. (Whereas a 16GB card could probably be had today for $10 or so.) Of course Apple started that, but it seems that other manufacturers are now copying that as a way to rip people off.

I hear ya. But we're power user who need the space. The average user can't seem to fill that internal space.
People justified the move to have no SD card is because of "security" reasons. I read up on it and still don't agree that the security concern justifies the removal of it.
But hey. People will spend what they want to spend.

Nexus 4 didn't have OTG support (without custom kernel and external power, which defeats the purpose). I'm still waiting for confirmation for the Nexus 5. OTG drains alot of battery and not the most convenient either, but it is one of the key feature I'm looking for.
The Nexus 4 launch was a failure because Google didn't expect this much demand from the Nexus 4, but Google has learned their lesson and has told LG to make a lot more Nexus 5s for the launch than last years Nexus 4.

It really bothers me when people try to make this argument...it's so self-centered, and besides, it's a fallacy. Your argument is this: Because you won't fill up 16gb of storage, it must be true that no one can have any possible reason to fill up 16gb of storage.
Everyone's usage patterns are different. Here's some logic that's not a fallacy: Because there are many people hoping and asking for a 32gb or 64gb option, it must be true that many people need more than 16gb.
Now, here's the part that really angers me. Why don't they just offer the user a choice? 16gb for $299, 32gb for $349, 64gb for $429. How hard can that really be?

You're right, and that makes me mad too. Do they think we all have unlimited data? I certainly don't.

I got sandisk 16gb from amazon. Paid a good $22 for it. Around the same time, bought samsung 16gb micro sd while it was on sale for my tablet.
Three months into use, sandisk just stopped working. All the photos I took over the period of three months lost with it. Mind you, I'm not tech- illiterate, so I attempted different methods to recover my data with no luck.
Contacted sandisk, and received a new micro sd through warranty. A months into use, it failed again. Luckily, I had backed up my photos with dropbox, so no real losses except wasted time.
Didn't even bother to file warranty and tossed the sd out.
Been using samsung microsd for good six months with no problem.
This is my experience, and you may have (had) better luck than I.

If you search the forums, you will find that MANY people report (and I experienced it too) that any card other than a Samsung can be problematic. I have a 32GB Class10 card from A-Data or Kingston or some other major name and it worked fine in my Atrix for a year or so. Got my S4 and put the card in it. Regularly and routinely, the phone would "lose" the card or claim it needed formatting because it was "damaged."
My Samsung card has had zero issues. You should be able to get a 32GB Sammy for about $20.

If you search the forums, you will find that MANY people report (and I experienced it too) that any card other than a Samsung can be problematic. I have a 32GB Class10 card from A-Data or Kingston or some other major name and it worked fine in my Atrix for a year or so. Got my S4 and put the card in it. Regularly and routinely, the phone would "lose" the card or claim it needed formatting because it was "damaged."

Where can I find one? Amazon? I was told the same thing as you stated in the first sentence. Just might go with a Samsung card. I was going to get a Kingston, but it makes more sense to go with the same name brand my phone is Lol. Since I've had multiple issues with San disk.

Just got a 64gb Class 10/UHS1 Samsung micro Sd at BestBuy....$59. No issues after 4 days. Sandisk cards errored several times a day. FWIW.
I must be the only one to never have a problem with any SanDisk cards ever in my life. Have a 64GB ultra in my S4 now. Running just fine for months.

Yup I shop at Amazon first.
I've used a Sandisk 16gb SDHC UHS-1 and a Sandisk 64gb SDXC UHS-1. Both are reliable and have survived multiple drops.
You are not the only one !

Out of 2100 reviews (posted up to Feb 2013) on Amazon, the SanDisk Ultra has a 4.5 star average (1500 of the reviews give it a full five stars). It’s the most popular and best-rated on Amazon.
A few complain doesn't make it everybody.
I am on SanDisk fast Micro SD cards in the last 10 years without one issue.

Here on XDA there are significantly less problems with Samsung SD's compared to Sandisk. Especially using the larger (64GB for example) sizes.
When using an SGS4 and in need of a large card simply use the Samsung one. And format it Fat32 when not in need of files >=4GB. Best combo of compatibility.
IMHO, of course

I looked at amazon, they have ultra extreme pro, and what not. What is best? I'm probably going to buy a 32gb.. Any suggestions?

I've had my 32gb UHS 1 Sandisk SD for a long time, well over 6 months and I have never had a problem. I had a 16gb Samsung SD card before that with no problems I just needed more storage.

I am using the same SanDisk Ultra 64Gb same as you, though the first one that I bought gave me a lot of problems (Constantly ejecting, then eventually, the phone no longer recognizes it.) Then I bought another 64Gb and I never had any problems from there.
It seems that those having issues with Sandisk probably got theirs from a faulty batch that Sandisk even admitted.
