Recommend me an SD card.

I'm on a budget here, and I'm looking for an external SD to place all my media.
Thing is, I don't need to have amazing transfer speeds from PC to card.
I just play media on phone, and I don't frequently take videos on my phone.
So what's the best card for me? I suppose class 10 cards aren't a necessity for me right?

I bought a SanDisk 64GB Micro SDXC from Amazon for $45. Don't know what your budget is so it is hard to recommend something.

Yeah I know it's the best. But don't wanna spend excess money on a card which I don't need. Any other suggestions?

Just get a standard Class 10 mSD card. Unless of course you want 64GB in which case you would want to get the SanDisk Ultra 64GB
32GB

I totally agree.

Whatever your budget and size-need is; make sure you buy a card that is class 10. Class 4 are too slow for files transfers; they're good for the normal reading of audio and video files but the transfers (in and out) are just a pain-slow...

I bought a SanDisk Micro SDXC but only 32GB

i use sandisk 32gb buyed on Amazon two years ago and Perfect!

WOAH! Anyone have any experience with any of these Sony SD cards? Looks like they're priced to move...

I heard eg class 6 performs better than class 10 in some scenarios.
Is class 10 always the way to go?

I've had a class 4 kingstone micro sd card and it worked extremely fine with media files .. I think class 10 just for media is a little bit far

Sandisk 32 gig class 10 is $22 on amazon. The class 6 is a couple dollars more. You won't need the higher class for what you are doing. Just for basic pics and music a class 6 is fine. Also I advise against the 64 gig if you are using CWM recovery and/or a aosp ROM. They aren't friends.

SD
I have a sandisk sd 64 and I really like it. For most basic users like yourself I would suggest looking for a bargain deal. Amazon has SD cards on sale most of the time, I wouldn't buy anything unless it was on sale if budget is important.

I got Samsung after my SanDisk failed

Recommendations for micro sd

My 16 gig kingston filled up quite rapidly after 2 weeks so I'm looking in getting a 32 or 64 micro sd but not sure what I shall get.
I see theres sdhc sdxc but not sure whats the differences.
I read theres issues with sandisk so I was thinking of either samsung lexar or kingston.
Also does the note 2 use the class 10 cards to its fullest as in its max read/write speeds?
I've read its pointless paying extra for the class 10 cards since the note2 dont use it to the fullest
Thanks in advance for any replies

either buy 32gb or 64gb any company OTHER THAN SCANDISK ............................it Sucks big time. i have scandisk 32gb and it keeps on unmounting mounting every now and than .

sandisk 64gb class 10

The Note II can use a 64 gb sdcard. I would only use a class 10. Its way quicker tranferring files, or taking videos. Also you can use SD-Booster. Download from the Play Store. Its free. You can tell the sdcard at what speed to be ruiing at. 2048, 4096, etc, etc. Phone must be rooted to use.

I have and currently use the ScanDisk Extreme 64GB SDXC class 10 card. I haven't had, or at least noticed, any issues while using it. I just formatted the card right away when I installed in the phone.
You may want to install directorybind. I believe you need root. A lot of app install on the phone's storage, not on the SDcard. So you may want to check if your card or phone storage filled up. Other than that, I would suggest moving pictures and videos off your phone if you have a lot.

If you use a swap file on the SD card, it will go bad way faster than normal. I avoid using the card for a swap file.

Lexar
I've been using a Lexar 32GB Class 10 Micro SDHC card for many months. Both in the Note 2 and previously to that in an S3 -- no issues ever. No crashes, no unmounts, no corruption, etc.

I got mine when amazon had them for $40. I got two. One is in a tablet, no issues. The one in the GN2, I originally put in my Evo 4G and it worked fine; it couldn't get class 10 speed, but worked very well with Boot Manager

Thanks for all the replies
I just bought a kingston 64gb sdxc class 10 earlier @ frys for $40 after tax.
They have a sale expire tonite it was just a weekend sale and I was lucky to grab the last 1

Get a Samsung branded one to avoid the mounting and unmounting problems. Ivd go that route when my 32gb dies.

I'm using class 4 but it is also having the sd card issue. Notice it is more problematic when my battery is low.

SD cards?

Should I go with a Samsung card for my 8.0 or is ok to use other makers cards, specifically talking about the ultra, extreme types. I want something fast but compatible.
Thanks in advance!

I have been looking for a 64g SD card for my samsung tab 3 7". After reading many reviews on amazon I have discoverd a few things you might want to consider.
1. Anything over 32 gig is a whole different world for sd cards an compatibility especially for Samsung tab 3's
2. I don't know about other brands but sandisk seems to have formatting problems with android. They sell several different 64gig cards and some come with a warning that reformatting in the mobile device will leave the card unusable.
2. There are a lot of counterfeit 64gig cards out there and even though people are complaining about it, Amazon continues to sell them. Read the reviews carefully.
3. I don't know if the tab3 can utilize the class 10 cards that claim 30 mb per second.
I just started looking into getting a 64gig card for my tab 3 and my information is still incomplete as to what to get. All I can suggest is read, read read... There are some shifty deals out there.
I hope someone that has more knowledge about this subject will chime in as I am somewhat confused about the best card to go with.

Copy that. Thank you very much or the input, I was also just reading about the counterfeit cards that Amazon is selling in the reviews for some cards and elsewhere. I'm not sure why or how they would continue to sell them knowing that they are fake! I am seriously thinking about just going with one of the nicer Samsung cards and be done with it.

3. I don't know if the tab3 can utilize the class 10 cards that claim 30 mb per second.

Cool, Good info. Thanks

Just to update its been 2 weeks now and the cards are doing great. I read the reviews before I bought and they said the transcend was very compatible with devices and since samsung is so picky I liked hearing that. Also a lifetime warranty is great too. Proof of purchase is necessary but since I purchased thru amazon I always have a record.

As someone who has had their last 4 phones die on him I can tell you that no amount of internal storage is going to replace my need for removable storage. That said I have 64 GB internal and a 64 GB microSD card. Looking to upgrade to a 128 GB or 256 GB soon.

Agreed, give me as much external storage that can be made.

Samsung already tried that and came back. I think we are pretty safe to bet on Samsung keeping the slot for awhile. I won't buy another phone without removable storage. I've lost so much on my last 4 phones that died, one being a Nexus 6P with no external storage.

Yeah, Samsung is keeping our expand-ability for now, just like with the headphone jack. They want (atleast for the note devices) to be seen as the premium devices for professional work and power users so I think they will keep that draw over more mainstream-focused devices like the Pixel who is directly competing with the iPhone for that userbase.

Well, that was a sort of an experiment, they got the results, and they decided to re implement the sd card, as the note 5 was not very well received

Developing anything that would make a good flagship "Note" device any step closer to being handicapped like an iPhone is a bad experiment going in the wrong direction to begin with. I only bought a Note 5, because my Note 4 screen broke (and the repair costs justified replacing the unit). I'm still surprised that the Note 5 progressed past the prototype phase without the MicroSD card slot.
