The Fastest Micro SD Card to Date

[Agent]

So I know throughout the forums there have been some controversy over what the fastest or "best" SD card is out there. I used the Sandisk Ultra for quite some time, but had so many issues with it when it came to flashing stuff in a custom recovery. I eventually switched to a Samsung version of the Micro SD. Since I did that I haven't had any issues at all. I read a little while back about the Sandisk Extreme and was wondering if anybody had that or have tested it out. You see reviews everywhere but they vary so much. I've also see on XDA where the Samsung phones don't like Sandisk.

Who thinks they have or know what the best Micro SD is for your phone?

I don't know if it is the fastest or best but I have a Sandisc Extreme 64GB micro SDXC in mine and so far it works well.
Is there any way to do a transfer speed benchmark? I am new to Android.

I gave up on sandisk. 8, 16, and go have all crashed within several months of use. Finally bought a 32 gig Samsung for my Note 1 and am still using as of today with my note 3. About 1.5 years now and haven't had the nagging 'I need to backup when I get home or might lose something' worries since.

No matter how fast the Sdcard is, it will only operate to the potential that the device is capable of achieving. Just remember that.

No idea what it means or if it is good or bad.
SD card is not empty and there were probably some background tasks going on.

Rooted AT&T device?

Hi! I noticed your signature says your galaxy note 3 AT&T is rooted. Do you mind showing me the link/way how to root? I thought chainfire method doesn't work with locked bootloader. Thanks in advance!

Kingston is a steady and stable performer of flash memory, Samsung is great too, Scandisk has gone down the crapper.

I agree with you guys about SanDisk it seems like they are crap lately. Never tried the Kingston but I know the Samsung ones are working great for me.

My experience has been the same. Samsung (SEC) cards from now on here, no problems!

 

[monsieurtalbot]

Never buy Lexmark memory cards... had over 5 fail on me (they were all replacements)... lol

I'm using a Sandisk (actually verified from the store) - don't buy Sandisk online - there are a LOT of fakes out there.

I have a class 10 64gig sandisk currently and it hasn't failed on me yet- over a year of use in 2 devices now.
