[Q] which micro SD should I get? - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a moto g 2nd gen and I want to buy it a 64gb micro SD (formatting it to fat32 for it to work). I have 4 options, a Toshiba, a Kingston, an adata, and a samsung evo. Do you have one of these? Which one do you recommend?

Important is that it is a class 10 card,just because of the faster read/writespeed. I tested several class 10 cards (Samsung,Kingston,Hama,SanDisk) with Crystal DiscMark and the differerences were mostly marginal. I bought myself a Samsung because I could get it as a special offer. In official testings this card is mentioned to be one of the best.
The Samsung SDXC PRO 64GB is a little expensive but fast and therefore a good deal,also the SanDisk SDXC Card Extreme Plus 64GB. But in my opinion a Samsung Evo 64GB is doing a great job too and is a good choice.

Be very careful of the cheap eBay fakes SD cards..... buy Local and help your Local retailer(s) - o.k it may be 2x as expensive, but shop around and you can find deals

HTC HD2 Memory Cards - Question

As for these four memory cards, is that you recommend to the HD2?
1. SANDISK MICRO SD 16GB class 4
2. ADATA MICRO SD 16GB class 4 or ADATA MICRO SD 16GB class 6
3. KINGSTONE MICRO SD 16GB class 4
Sandisk because it has stable performance and more compatible than other cards on wp7
I personally used Sandisk for a very long time and continue to do so but i have recently swapped it out for a Transcend 8GB class 10. You can find it
on ebay here for $10.50. Read and write speeds are impressive and it works great for Android or to just have really. I don't use WP7 so i can't honestly
say if it'll work or not for that. A quick search in the WP7 Q&A could shed some light on it. I just couldn't foresee how it would even be a problem though.
Google the SD cards your interested but add the word benchmark to the end. This can give some insight on what cards generally have the better
performance and which don't. Higher speed ratings don't always mean better scores so look at the benchmarks and most important, the reviews.
If Sandisk is the card your most interested in i could sell you some of mine. I can't compete with China or knockoff prices but i could offer something
cheaper then what you might pay at Best Buy, Target or even Walmart. $8 for a 8GB sandisk class 4, $15 for a 16GB sandisk class 4 or both for $20.
Improtant warning about (some) sandisk cards. While shopping in the past i did see a lot of fake sandisk cards. I've always heard the easiest way to spot
a fake sandisk is buy looking where the speed rating is placed. If its off to the corner then it might be fake. It should be centered in the middle as all mine are.
Sankdisk, if not Kingstone.
Honestly, I'd go all the way and get 32gb. Thats what I did.
Sandisk, and buy only from certified OEM seller.
Any card from auction: 95% probability of getting fake one. They may work as original, or may not.
I recommend samsung 32GB class10.
Its effect is very good.

Hi,
I'm new here at xda-forum, cause I get an Xperia Z this week (waiting for the order) and my question is what's the best micro sd card for this phone.
Micro SD card needs:
- Class 10
- 32/64 GB
- that lasts for a very long time
Thx for helping
Greetz,
Rom
ive been using a SanDisk 64gb class ultra (10) for about a year and a half now had it in my xperia play and now my Xperia Z
only ever formated it once and that was when I first got it, I paid about 55 gbp but you can probably get one for about 40 gbp now maybe less
I wouldn't say theres a best one but that one has served and is serving me well just wish there was a 128gb now haha I have so much stuff on it, mostly android games though (30gb)
Hope this helps

What micro sd? the micro sdxc or the sdhc?
Between SDXC and SDHC, difference is only in size, not speed. Some people often mistakes it for another speed mark, especially on SDXC (eg. X - Xtra speed )
SDHC - Secure Digital High Capacity (0 - 32GB)
SDXC - Secure Digital Xtended Capacity (32GB and more)
I always use Sandisks and I never had a single issue with any of them.
Right now I'm using this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003HIWHN0/
Dirt cheap and much faster than listed. Lower class SD cards might not benchmark very well but they perform great in Android and for smaller files.
Samsung and Transcend mSD cards are also good quality and performace. I prefer Samsung because they are cheap in my friend's store. SanDisk cannot be bought in Croatia, only via amazon, ebay, etc... and are much more expensive than Samsung.
I don't believe that they are much better than Samsung Class 10 Pro than how much they cost more.

How long have you been using it? I'm really worried, because I don't want to buy any micro sd cards, because I already bought two 16GB micro sd and they were broken after I copied my files in it :crying:

Did You buy mSD cards form eBay? There are lot of fake ones.
On HTC Desire I used Samsung 8GB Class 10 (2 years) and I sold HTC and that card to a friend and still working.
Now I'm using Samsung SDHC 16GB Pro Class 10 for 3 months since day 1 with Xperia Z. No problems whatsoever. I have 2y warranty with it.
Beside that, having Transcend 2GB and 4GB Class 4 in my Nokia X2 and 6303C phones, those are 4 years old.
Soon I will get Alcatel OT Idol and for him I bought Transcend 8GB Class 6.

Thx for the information. Does Sandisk last long, because in my country the Sandisk 64 GB Micro SD Class 10 SDXC is the cheapest. It costs 46 €.

SanDisk is top quality brand, but no one can tell how long it will be working. It can work 10 years, or could die in few days. Important is for You to do backups and have valid warranty.

Buy either one/cheapest/the one you can easily get. Choose between Samsung/Transcend/Kingston/A-Data/SanDisk. It is simple SD Card buying, not nuclear science

for some reason I am unable to submit url's. but today amazon is having a deal on memory including micro sd cards. head over to Amazon's deal center under the search bar it says "today's deals". click there. also Lexar has its 128GB micro SD card on sale for $73 from Amazon
hope this helps
Amazon are reputable and easy to deal with if there are problems.
I got a Sandisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-1 card with adapter 128GB
It's the fastest 128GB on the market at present, the 64GB has a faster Ultra Extreme as the poster above linked to, though I wanted the extra storage and have had no issues with the 64GB version of this card recording 4K video previously.
The tech reviews I read seemed to universally state the Lexar did not have the same write speed, which will be important for video storage. And there is not a big difference in price.
The 200GB are only just new to Market and are a stupidly high price at present, definitely not worth it yet.

Best Micro SD Card for Note8

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.
Sent from my SM-G955U using XDA Free mobile app
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.
Samsung EVO Plus Grade 3, Class 10 128GB MicroSDXC thats one i have in my Note8 and as i don't shot lot of 4k videos that speed is enough
400gb for the win chuck
sandisk 400gb. Note8 ready. get it ONLY from "ships and sold by amazon". never 3rd party.

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.
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.

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.

Please suggest some best 64GB SDcard for poco f1.

I'm planning on to buy a 64GB SDcard, I'm currently in India. I need the best read/write support. I have a 250 mbps WiFi connection. I just don't want my SDcard to bottleneck the download speed. I just don't know about these SDcards and stuff. Please help me.
sandisk extreme or extreme pro... here
(obiouvsly you'll have to source a local deal)
if not available, you want to be looking for A2, U3 v30 cards
Sandisk or Samsung, I use them both and haven't had any problem. UHS 1 is the minimum speed if for modern phones.

I read an article saying that a2 sd cards is not yet supported in Snapdragon 845. If that is the case then it's better to use an A1 sd card to save money.
I don't trust SanDisk anymore after years of experience on many devices, nor other brands frankly, Kingston is the worst.. Only use Samsung Evo cards now. Also many fakes for all brands, even Samsung on Amazon.
I would also suggest Samsung evo
Samsung works ok in pocoloco
