What Micro SD Card To Use Xperia Z - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys
whats the best micro sd card to use with the xperia z ?
I know this have probably been asked before
ive seen class 4 cards all the way up to class 10 cards
does the class even matter ???

I did seem to have an issue playing films with my 32GB Class 4 but since I've bought the SanDisk Ultra 64GB Class 10 it's been just fine.

If I am correct, 4.2.2 supports 64GB officialy.

In exFat yes, but choose the SD you think you need
The SD Association defines standard speed classes indicating minimum performance to record video. Both read and write speeds must exceed the specified value. These are defined in terms of suitability for different applications:[40]
Class 2 for SD video recording
Class 4 and 6 for high-definition video (HD) to Full HD video recording,
Class 10 for Full HD video recording and consecutive recording of HD stills
UHS Speed Class 1 for real-time broadcasts and large HD video files
The specification defines these classes in terms of performance curves that translate into the following minimum read-write performance levels on an empty card:[41]
Speed Classes 2, 4, and 6 assert that the card supports the respective number of megabytes per second as a minimum sustained write speed for a card in a fragmented state. Class 10 asserts that the card supports 10 MByte/s as a minimum non-fragmented sequential write speed.[41] By comparison, the older "×" rating measured maximum speed under ideal conditions, and was vague as to whether this was read speed or write speed.
The host device can read a card's speed class, unlike the earlier "×" speed ratings. A device can warn the user if the card reports a speed class that falls below an application's minimum need.[41]
The speed class rating does not totally characterize card performance. Different cards of the same class may vary considerably while meeting class specifications. In addition, speed may vary markedly between writing a large amount of data to a single file (sequential access, as when a digital camera records large photographs or videos) and writing a large number of small files (a random-access use common in smartphones). One study found that, in this random-access use, some Class 2 cards achieved a write speed of 1.38Mbit/s, while all cards tested of Class 6 or greater (and some of lower Classes; lower Class does not necessarily mean better small-file performance), including those from major manufacturers, were over 100 times slower.[42]

Not only, JB support 64GB any version, i'm using a Micro SDXC Classe 10 64Go UHS-1 Grade 1 70MB/s since i have my Xperia Z and it's works perfectly.

Toshiba Exceria Class 10 32Gb MicroSD HC UTS...u wont regret after buying it! amazing card!

im using atm 16gb class 4 .. bcuz my 32gb class 10 was gone after i got my xperia from service -.-

Im using Transcend 32gb class 10
Work great !

Running SanDisk 64 class 10 here, loving the space upgrade from my iPhone

im currently running sandisk 32GB class 4, almost full capacity and it works great

Samsung 64 GB, Class 10
probably offering best transfert rates for its capacity
it has shown between Samsung has an edge over Sandisk Micro SD card

I was using a Sandisk 32gb class 10 ultra. But it suddenly yesterday stopped working. Was working fine. Now can't even get the pc to read it, how can that happen.

So, I just got the Z through T-Mobile and am (casually) looking into getting an SD car for it. Should I hold out until the device is upgraded to 4.2 before getting a 64gig card? I'm assuming it wouldn't be compatible beforehand.
I suppose I could look into rooting the Z as well... (I'm kinda hesitant about that, though)

Bad SD card?
I bought a generic 64gb class 10 microSD card from ebay, great seller, great reviews. but it seems that my Xperia corrupts it once in a while and wants to format it. I started it with exfat, but then learned that FAT32 is better, so did that.. but the same result, after a week , the SD card just crashed and corrupted and wanted a format, as the phone stopped reading it.
Is there anything that i'm missing, or shall i just chalk it up to bad sd card and get a sandisk or transend branded card?

It's not your card, it's a fault with the Xperia z, my class 10 SanDisk 32GB got corrupted two days ago as well, lots of folk reporting the same, seems class 4 is ok, any one confirm that?

BottleNeck SDHC Class

I have a Class 2 right now. I know, "groan".
But i want to get a HIGHER class.
At what class number on the G1 will I hit the bottleneck of the hardware?
What I'm asking is, is 6 the highest I can go and if I go to 8 it still performs like a 6 due to the slow reader in the phone?
Or can I go up to 8 class, 10 class, etc.
Also, I need someone to confirm that a high-class SDHC (like 8 or 10) even works on this phone, 8 or 16gb kind of thing.
Thanks for your input.
I want to get some o' dem swapz in here.

I used to think grabbing a higher class card would be better too, i've actually bought a class 6 4gb and a class 4 8gb card, truth is it really don't matter what class you have..
Check this thread it made me see the truth.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010807
I haven't really looked at class in detail
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating
I'm filling in blanks here
it seems that a card will report it's class to the reader and it is then upto the application to decide if it meets it's requirements.
without pulling apart my G1 I have not been able to determine what the controller is to see find it's specs to see if there is a limit to what it can deal with in terms of through put.
I would like to think that the bottle neck is the card, and that a higher class card would be faster
a simple way of looking at it is that even if the G1 doesn't support 10MB/s
a card which does support 10MB/s is more likely to sustain 6MB/s better than a class 6
Sorry I can't provide a real answer here
I would look at the relative cost of class 6/10
if they are not disproportionate then I would go class 10
but if class 10 is 2 or 3 times the price, I would go class 6 (unless I had cash to throw away)
dmesg
Qualcomm MSM SDCC
Thanks for your input, both of you.
Is that script to increase performance that you linked to beneficial in-rom, or just in recovery?
Does that mean that upgrading the class 2 I already have is pointless??
could someone please run a test with the app called "SD Tools" in the market (someone with class 6)
tell me what rom and what speeds you get.
I get 4.3 mb/s write and 18.5 mb/s read. That's with a class 2 8gb on cos-ds WITHOUT SWAP running. <-- idk if that makes a difference.
I think I have a Kingston class 4 (possibly 6, i'm not sure) and my max was around 5.x mb write and 19.x mb read with SD Tools. That was with 2048kb sd cache.
that's not too much better than mine, the stat i posted above was 128, i got about the same as you with 2048.
It seems like you have to make the jump to class 10 in order to get decent speeds on an android phone.
if you take out the sd card and look at it, it will say the class inside a circle directly on the card.

run a few times and it will average out
on a few runs I get (approx)
write 6.5
read 18.5
this is a class 6
so
some class hedge bets and they are classX+
regardless of class read is the same
so for swap class matters, but you may get lucky
for apps2sd , it probably doesn't make much difference
BUT this is just one benchmark program, it could be flawed
maybe a simple script with time would be better, but then you have the memory caching etc to consider
still it is interesting so far, certainly the writes seem to fit(ish)

could be a hw limit
OR your card was just a re-badged china thing
try without swap running, and the app on internal
that could be getting in the way
the bm app writes to /mnt/sdcard/
Class 6 microSD 8gb, unknown producer (china )
Write speed = 6.5 MB/s
Read speed = 15.2 MB/s
I don't use no modified cache, no swap.
Using 2048kb cache:
Write speed = 6.3 MB/s
Read speed = 18.3 MB/s
Thanks for the cache trick
"SD Speed Increase" app is good to change cache

I'm using Adata microSDHC class 10 32GB card.
No problems.
Im using a PNY class 10 16gb and absolutely no problems.
Saying that I bought my card from play.com and thier play.com card got bad reviews with low read/write speeds. It might be an idea to post about a specific brand of card and see what response you get.
can I use microSDHC in my ace???
I am planning to buy Transcend 8gb mircrosdHC class 10 card. Please reply me asap!
I saw your post and was intrigued by your question - I then did the search and found this page.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital
It would seem the microsdHC just refers to the size of cards i.e. from from 4Gb to 32Gb.
Now as to your request - I have used transcend cards in other equipment - notably a JVC HD 1080p camcorder and their sustained write capability is very very good with no drop out with over 240 hours of HD recordings. So brand wise - it is a very good name and IMHO a good rep.
As to your card running ok with the ace - the fact it is a good branded name and a reasonable size but more importantly a class 10 - then in all probability you will not have any problems.
thnx a lot for the info!!
Just placed my order!

I didn't know
I was gessing if the galaxy ace is fast enough to read fast all 32gb of music or it takes kindda long time to read those all mp3's
so it's about memory class?
or it also depends of the cellphone speed?
hi have sandisk 16gb class 4
Somewhere i saw that since our device is not that fast, class 6 card would perform well than a class 10 card. cos it takes time to start the class 10 card even though it has faster speed.
What do you think about Samsung's class 10 32 GB cards?

Up to 95MB/s (633X) read speed. Write speed up to 90MB/s (600X).
Based on internal testing; performance may be lower depending on host device. 1 megabyte (MB) = 1 million bytes.
** 1 gigabyte (GB) = 1 billion bytes
-Featuring Class 10 for "3D" and Full HD† video (1080p)
-Engineered with UHS-I bus architecture
Does anyone have it?
If you don't plan to transfer content to that card with a usb-3 connection and a reader connected directly to the computer, it doesn't have sense to buy it.
The note it is limited to about 15mb transfer rate, so you will be throwing money out of the window.

Do you have a reference for that info? I plan to pickup a note 2 upon US release and was debating on waiting for the new Samsung high speed micro sd cards or going with Sandisk Ultra.
Daniel
You really won't see much of a difference between the Gold and Ultra cards. The important aspect of those cards are the read speeds and it's absolutely overboard for a phone. Save yourself some money and just get the Ultra w/30mb read and you'll be set. No need for anything faster.

Yeah, just spend that money on the 64GB version of the Note II. I bet the flash chips they use in the note are just as fast, without the bottleneck of MicroSD connections.

I agree that the internal memory would be superior. The problem is that it is very unlikely 32GB and 64GB models will be available upon US release or even within a few months.

agreed. The Ultra card (30mb/sec) is the absolute fastest card you will need for a phone. You won't even take full advantage of its speed but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the Gold.
The only thing that will take advantage of write speeds when using the phone is how fast you take pictures and transfer files to the card from a computer. THAT'S IT. And technically even with that you will be limited to around the same speeds as the average USB 2.0 speed which is normally between 10mb-25mb/sec.
Don't waste your money.
The problem is many people just see whats stated on the package, and don't realize that to obtain the stated speed, you need the unit to support UHS I, and at present no phones support it, so the max speed for the card is read 25mb/s and write 24mb/s, which is the standard for micro sdhc and micro sdxc noted as the class 2, 4, 6 and 10.

Wherever you buy from make sure its an authorized dealer, if not no warranty and you are likely to get a counterfeit which won't have the specified performance. I like buying from amazon, but make sure amazon.com is the seller.

SanDisk SDXC
Source: Blog
SDHC
The Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) format, defined in Version 2.0 of the SD specification, supports cards with capacities up to 32 GB.
Host devices that accept SDHC cards are required to accept SDSC cards.[1] However, host devices designed for SDSC do not recognize SDHC or SDXC memory cards, although some devices can do so through a firmware upgrade.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
SDXC
The Secure Digital eXtended Capacity (SDXC) format supports cards up to 2 TB (2048 GB), compared to a limit of 32 GB for SDHC cards in the SD 2.0 specification....
Compatibility with SDHC
SDXC host devices accept all previous families of SD memory cards.[26] Conversely, SDHC host devices will accept SDXC cards that follow Version 3.0, since the interface is identical,[3] but the following issues may affect usability:
SDXC cards are pre-formatted with Microsoft's proprietary and patented exFAT file system, which the host device might not support. Since Microsoft does not publish the specifications of exFAT and its use requires a non-free license, many alternative or older operating systems do not support exFAT for technical or legal reasons. The use of exFAT on some SDXC cards may render SDXC unsuitable as a universal exchange medium, as an SDXC card that uses exFAT would not be usable in all host devices. Since the FAT32 file system supports volumes up to the SDXC's maximum theoretical capacity of 2 TB as well, a user could reformat an SDXC card to use FAT32 for greater portability between computers (see below). FAT32-formatted SDXC cards can be used in a host device built for SDHC if the host device can handle 64 GB and larger volumes.
SDHC host devices will not test the new capability bits defined for SDXC 4.0 cards. It will therefore not be able to use the new features of SDXC, such as transfer speeds above UHS104 (104 MB/s).

Speed Class Rating
32 GB SDHC card
The SD Association defines standard speed classes indicating minimum performance to record video. Both read and write speeds must exceed the specified value. These are defined in terms of suitability for different applications:[39]
Class 2 for SD video recording
Class 4 and 6 for HD ~ Full HD video recording,
Class 10 for Full HD video recording and HD still consecutive recording
UHS Speed Class 1 for real-time broadcasts and large-size HD videos
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The specification defines these classes in terms of performance curves which translate into the following minimum performance levels, for both read and write, on an empty card:
Class 2= 2 MB/sec
Class 4= 4 MB/sec
Class 6= 6 MB/sec
Class 10≥ 10 MB/sec
Speed Classes 2, 4, and 6 assert that the card supports the respective number of megabytes per second as a minimum sustained write speed for a card in a fragmented state. Class 10 asserts that the card supports 10 MB/s as a minimum non-fragmented sequential write speed.[40]

and here is some info on UHS-I BUT NO CURRENT PHONE AT THIS TIME SUPPORT THIS.
UHS Speed Class
The Ultra-High Speed (UHS) designation is available on some SDHC and SDXC cards.[42] The following ultra-high speeds are specified:
UHS-I cards, specified in SD Version 3.01,[40] support a clock frequency of 100 MHz (a quadrupling of the original "Default Speed"), which in four-bit transfer mode could transfer 50 MB/s. UHS-I cards declared as UHS104 also support a clock frequency of 208 MHz, which could transfer 104 MB/s. UHS-I is the only class for which products are currently available.[43]

Which works, which doesn't.
Tools.
Recommendations.
...
I assume Note4 will handle any SD card we will throw at it. But I bet there better ones and worse ones.

I have samsung sd evo 64gb. Works really well. Fast and no errors yet. My past sandisk on my note 2 gave me errors and loss data

What sd cards are recommended? Class 10 and above?
Jist wondering if the phone would utilize super high speed cards or Class10 is more than enough?

Well I guess it depends on SD card. I only heard positive reviews of Sandisk flash memory.

It really depends on what model you buy for your needs all manufacturers make slow and fast ones. I agree that Sandisk is overpriced on their MSRP but if you shop around, look for deals & price match you will get high quality for a fair price.
I just picked up a 64GB Sandisk Extreme Plus yesterday price matched down to $66.99 CAD, it has up to 80MB/s read and 50MB/s write capabilities and on my Note 4 and it did this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I am quite please with its performance.

Also can write, transfer, copy and paste to sd card using the stock file manager of the note 4. I've unmounted and mounted with great results. No broken icon image.
What cards are supported?
I assume all?
microSD
microSDHC
microSDXC
And what about speed classes? Both: Class 10 and UHS-1?
The question is: will all of them work and if yes then what max read write speed can Note 4 utilize?
Samsung 32gb evo and all is well.

All of them will work.
Maximum speed is utterly dependant on the card. I'm not sure what the theoretical maximum speed the phone could handle, but I'm sure that the card itself will be the limiting factor, not the phone.

Got the same thing. Working with no problems so far. As for speeds, I've never paid too much attention to the speeds of sd cards, so I couldn't give any specifics.
I've purchased the Samsung 64gb Pro card from Amazon and looking forward to using it.
It's supposedly one of the fastest.

Do you record your 4K videos to SD card?
Could you run any SD benchmark with your EVO?
I read some reviews on the net and seems that EVO should be more than enough for normal Note 4 operation (recording videos, watching huge fullhd movies from mkv files).
SanDisk extreme 128 Gb SDXC
READ 72 MB/ SEC.
WRITE 50 MB/SEC
Recording 4K videos flawlessly.

What app did you use to test the speed?

A1 SD bench
Would anybody mind to test 32 or 64GB EVO card?
1) Perform a 4K video recording to your SD card.
2) Perform a speed test with any of the test app inside your phone.
Thanks!!
I really have some doubts because this site http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-microsd-card/ says that for 4K recording something faster is needed than EVO.
But on the other hand: 4K recording requires only 6MB/s of sequential writing and EVO can handle up to 19MB/s (at lease every review claims that).
Thanks!!!
