Suggestions for microSD

[lopman]

I am not into all that technical with the cards. If I just want a fast speed durable 64gb card which one should I get?

I bought the latest Lexar 128 gb, but it's just not good. Phone freezes and the card is not discoverable.

I have to format the card again and copy again everything on it from my backups to make it work again. And in a couple of weeks the same thing happens again.

Could anybody recommend a fast (the fastest) and reliable 128 gb SDXC card?

SD Card issues

Hello All,

I brought a S7 Edge recently and i brought a 64GB Samsung Evo Sd card and after i put the card my phone had some issues and like phone slow, hanging up, couple of restarts and also noticed whenever i restart the phone it used to SD card corrupt under storage and so formatting the card is the only option for it to work and so had reset the phone too and same issue and so got a different 64GB Samsung Evo Sd card even that had same issues but the same card worked great on different S5 phone and had same issue on different S7 Egde phone and so got my phone replaced and now even the new phone has the same issues. I am going Crazy

Phone Replaced and Memory Card replaced

Go for sandisk. I have the 200gb microsdxc card now. So far so good.

Hey guys, I just quickly sorted the charts from the OP by seq. write speeds (my justification for that choice is that the read speeds of any of the top cards fall into the category of 'good enough'). I hope this serves as a quick summary for anyone looking for a card that's the best given their own price range, like me.

I'm happy with this card, it's more than enough for me.

Samsung EVO+ 64GB. They don't cost that much more over the standard EVO, so its a no brainer. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-...10-C10-UHS-1-Memory-Card-64gb/1984072553.html

And before people jump on me for saying its fake, no its 100% legit. I've 3 of them already in my household. The ones I got are made in Korea but repackaged for the Chinese market, YMMV depending on the batch you got.

Has anyone tested a really fast card in here? I want to know the max read/write speeds of the device itself. Trying to find out what read/write speeds the device is able to achieve. I purchased a Surface Pro 4 and its microSD card slot cant handle the UHS-II or U3 speeds at all, so it would have been a waste of money. Attempting to find out if this is the same thing here, which I have a feeling it is. From what I have been seeing in this post it looks like 90/90 would be the max for the card itself.

Thanks

So I just ran Andro on my new 128gb Sandisk extreme which only cost me $60 on n prime day...
These speeds seem to even beat out the Samsung Pro+...Unless I'm reading or doing something wrong...

Andro sequential (r/w): 83.25/50.2
Random (r/w): 13.66/4.29

Ran it twice...

I believe I read somewhere that Qualcomm has specified the SD slot as only handling UHS-I speeds...
But I guess that only applies to the US models with the Snapdragon. Not sure about the international one.

SanDisk 128 extreme seems a good option, the main problem of sandisk is that some users reports for corrupts sd from this brand. Things that seems not to happen on Samsung ones

I'm not sure which one to buy...

But with Samsung SDS I've heard of performance lag I'm the phone... something called slow wake, etc.
Just make sure you backup your SD or put things on there you may not care if they get deleted, such as apps.
Any kind of storage medium is prone to corruption.

I would suggest at least 2 extensive formats using your computer before partitioning a new SD.

This SD looks awesome, but it's extremely expensive in my opinion

Phone isn't even capable... Waste of money in the phone itself.

Is that the UHS-1 Class 10 card? Do you have a model number or a pointer to the same card on Amazon or the SanDisk web site? The reason I ask is that they have a couple of different cards with the same name, but different speed ratings and colors so I want to represent the data accurately in the first post and charts.

 

[flarbear]

Just a quick note from the OP that I'm not actively monitoring this thread any more so it may take a few weeks (months?) for new benchmarks posted at this point to appear in the list in the OP and in the charts. Many of us chose a card from among the many worthwhile cards listed already and are happy with our purchases and there doesn't seem to be a lot of room for any cards to perform radically better than what has already been reported, so I'm not expecting any earth shattering new info to surface.

And, as always, I hope someone might prove that assessment wrong, but time will tell and I'll be checking in from time to time as I have spare time.

Good luck with your phones and cards all!
