Best Micro SD Card for Note8

[Warlord1981]

Hello guyz,
Can you please recommend me the best microSD card for our phone in 128GB or 256GB?
I am leaning towards Samsung Pro Plus 128GB or EVO Plus 256GB. Should I go for speed or size?
Also there is Sandisk Extreme with similar speeds and Lexar Professional with read speeds @ 150mb/s, but I'm note sure if these speeds are overkill for a Note8..

I would also like to know cause eBay has so many fake ones.

I honestly have had issues with every sdhc I've used except for the EVO's. I don't know about other Samsung classes but I personally would stick with genuine Samsung memory cards.

I've been using the 256GB EVO that Samsung was giving out for the Note7 promo. Been working great.

I lost my $32 for useless SD card

I wouldn't worry too much about speed, as you can install apps on the SD card (correct me if I'm wrong). I would go for size over speed.

Never had issues with the Samsung or Sandisk memory cards for mobile devices, I have used everything from 2gb cards to 256gb cards and I will be looking at the 400gb card as soon as Sandisk gets it to retailers.

Fastest is probably:

Lexar Professional 1000x microSDXC (up to 256GB)

Biggest size is probably:
SanDisk Ultra 400GB microSDXC UHS-I

Best price/size/performance? Probably Samsung Evo+ line of cards, based on the following (it's a guess, I have not benchmarked them myself):
https://www.pidramble.com/wiki/benchmarks/microsd-cards

Do not rely on only the manufacturers' ratings, they can be way off and sometimes read is fast, but write is slow (or vice versa). The most expensive is not always the fastest either. Further, some excel in big sequantial reads, others are a tad better in random read/write IOPS. Even further, Note8 card interface probably is NOT able to use the maximum speed out of the latest UHS-II cards.

And yes, do NOT buy on eBay, unless you are willing to gamble or really know what you are doing.

My experience with SanDisk

Hi,

I just bough an Sandisk microSdhc Extreme 128 GB, Class 10, U3 UHS-2.

I emailed Samsung about my Note 8 and they told me that it supports UHS-2 cards.

When running tests on phone I get MAX 60write 60read

Only on DiskSeed Test App I got 287 MB/S read and 37 MB/S write.


Any input?

I've had my 64gb SD card in my s5 before putting it in my note 8. I might be lucky, but I figured Samsung cards work best in Samsung devices, idk. But yeah, it's been about 3 years and the SD card is going strong.

Andddddd...itll probably break after this post.

Galaxy Note 8 has many options for microSD Card for it. Here I found much different Note 8 Memory Card.

 

[iceepyon]

Never had an issue with any Sandisk microSDCard. I have had a bunch of them and they all work fine.

I'm another using the Samsung 256 EVO that came with the Note 7 promo. It also worked fine in an S7Edge for a while before I got the Note 8.

Biggest size is probably:
SanDisk Ultra 400GB microSDXC UHS-I

Anyone know where to get this one at a better deal? When it comes to device storage I'm not as much concerned with speed as I am with size and having 400GB at your fingertips, on the go, is just pretty freakin' awesome.

Btw...for those looking for more speed, I happened to catch this video on YouTube the other day that explains what the different speed markings on the sd cards actually mean if anyone's interested. I found it to be fairly informative.
