I will be receiving my g2x on around the 18th and need some advice on which sd card to purchase. Also which class is most recommended. All help and info is greatly appreciated.
you're a "senior member" and don't know what class sdcard to buy? ugh
Crazythunder, flaming someone doesn't help.
SanDisk is a great brand, and class 4 is high enough.
In my opinion the prices of class 6+ are too high for the extra transfer rate they give you.
I would go with a SanDisk class 4

I can see why your thanks meter is at ZERO. Luckily I did not encounter people such as you when I first joined XDA. I have not purchased a sd card in quite a long time, just wanted to know what others were running with the new phone.

Thanks so much for your kind reply. I was leaning toward a class 4 just wanted to know what others might be running in this new phone. Thanks again and I hit the thanks button.
placebo? Here's my story:
I was quite happy with my desire phone and wanted to use it as my main music player for the road (silly me).
To save me the time i bought a class 6 8GB card, while the desire was preloaded with a class 4 8 GB card.
Transfered all the music and was happy with the extra speed untill i noticed i made a small mistake, i switched those cards way to often and ended up with the class 4 card while i tought it was the class 6 one.
For that one time you transfer a lot of data it's worth it, but for everyday use .. not so much (and yes i used both cards as ext2sd cards, that was what triggered me, i lost a few apps )
In terms of the o2x; well we got a nice big space internal for our apps (perhaps we can use fdisk to make it even bigger?) and no control over the speed, so the external sd is purely for userdata; your phone won't mind a class 2, 4 or 8 it's just how patient you can be

This is a review (not mine) from Newegg...
Pros: Large capacity, great price and fantastic speeds. Class 4 card with sustained class 10 transfer rates. Blew the SanDisk 16GB Class 4 card out of the water. My previous 8GB PNY has lasted 8+ months with quite a bit of transferring. Let's hope this one lasts as well.
Cons: NONE.

ok, i blew it. i've been a wiseass all my life. but online in forums i usually always bite my tongue. for some reason i didn't tonight. sorry about that. won't happen again. my punishment is i got to watch the sabres have their asses handed to them by philly tonight.
I'll be getting the g2x next week since ive been waiting for an upgrade for a while i have a bunch of best buy gift cards. Im sad to see that best buy isn't carrying the phone yet and I am impatient so I currently have 175$ in gift cards I will probably use on accessories like an sd card, a mini hdmi cord(since it doesn't come with the g2x) and a thin case. I was looking at a couple class 10 16gb or 32gb cards because I wanted to run full ubuntu 10.10 through vnc on my new g2x as well as movies, music, games, and I will be using this phone to develop a couple games on in the near future. My suggestion would be to get a nice fast class 4(they do have them where they are faster than class 6 of different brands) if you are just going to do music and movies. Another thing to note is a lot of large sized games use the sd card to save data on. If you were planning on playing high end games you want those games to fetch the data as quickly as possible so I believe the faster the card, the faster the loading. Personally, I'm going with a class 10 16gb or 32gb with great reviews in hoping it will last me for a couple phones into the future

No problem man! This is the only phone on tmobile that has REALLY caught my eye in the past year. Plus with nearly all of the popular devs picking it up because its the only dualcore phone out without a signed/locked bootloader. I'm going all out on this thing!

I would buy the Samsung Evo plus UHS-I. Seems to be the best value:
Samsung EVO+ https://www.amazon.es/dp/B00WIMC5IS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_DDWoybBKQVG6F
Samsung SD works fine for me, as well. And I've also been happy with Sandisk in the past as well (Samsung just happened to be cheaper).
Are you talking adoptable storage or removable? The speed requirement is higher with adoptable. You'll want to get the fastest SD card you can for adoptable storage, possibly even the Samsung PRO+.
If you're talking removable storage, for the things you mentioned (photos, nandroid backups), speed rating are probably not too relevant. That is, as long as its Class 10 or UHS1 or faster - and there are many affordable options these days, that its probably not even worth looking at SD lower than Class 10 (and in fact you won't find many options in lower speed classes). The UHS1 rating on the Samsung EVO+ as well as the EVO should be fine. Taking video would probably be the most intensive thing you can do with SD, and the Samsung EVO works fine for me doing that. Not sure about putting apps on the SD. But if its designed to be on removable storage, I don't think its too terribly speed dependent.

Well,what would you recommend to me? I will more likely also store apps there,so?
So what is minimal req for adoptable storage? What are best budget SDs for that one? PRO+

I don't use adoptable storage, so all I can tell you, is what I've read from searching.
Class 10 or UHS-1 seems to be the recommended minimum rating. But I've read to buy the fastest you can afford, to minimize performance slowdowns. One website specifically mentioned possibly using PRO+ (can't find it right now). But the info doesn't seem definitive.
I see Samsung also has PRO Select, and I'm not sure if there is a difference between that and PRO+. They both have 95 MB/s read, 90 MB/s write. I'm seeing the Amazon US site doesn't have a lot of PRO+ in stock, but they have PRO Select in 32GB for $25 US. So possibly the PRO Select is just a new branding of the PRO+?
The branding is confusing, to say the least: EVO, EVO+, EVO Select, PRO, PRO+, PRO Select.

The Select is the newest. But I believe they are equal in terms of performance http://www.cameramemoryspeed.com/reviews/sd-cards/samsung-pro-select-64gb-micro-sdxc-memory-card/
i am using strontium nitro 64gb , its superb sd card..
excellent read/write speed, maybe you can go for it,
and contrary i can suggest you 128gb sandisk sdcard too. waiting for its price cut
I am hoping to pump some new life into this thread. I am curious if anyone has used or tested a 200+ gig sd card for our phone as this guy is suggesting will work. Wouldn't mind upgrading but dont want to drop the loot before someone has confirmed maybe with a screen shot that it works.

Your right. And the limitation must be with the M8. If you do that test on the HTC 10 the results should be much better.

Have got a couple of HD8 2017 tablets and installed a couple of Samsung Evo Plus 64GB MicroSD Cards. Been having some difficulty with these cards in at least one of the tablets so awaiting delivery of 2 x SanDisk Ultra 64GB cards to see if I get on any better results. My question is which card is better for tablet use?
Samsung Evo Plus, 64GB, Class 10, U3
Sandisk Ultra. 64GB, Clas 10, U1 - A1 App Performance
On first look I assumed the Samsung as it was U3 rated compared to the SanDisk U1 rating, however the SanDisk card has the new A1 App performance rating. Does the A1 rating therefore trump the Samsung U3 rating or is this really marketing over reality.. Also, in real world use is the difference between U3 and U1 negligible when using the card for tablet use?
Thanks in advance

Don't confuse raw speed on large files with stability, ability to efficiently handle multiple small IO operations and suitability to the task at hand. Not to mention device characteristics and capabilities of the external storage interface. Fire 7s have a mediocre SD card interface; suspect the same holds for all 5th-7th gen models which are budget friendly.
Personally I have not had good luck with Samsung EVO branded cards. I use a variety of other cards, including SanDisk, which generally live up to their stated capabilities. For whatever reason the EVOs fall short. Reviews on Amazon and elsewhere suggest I'm not alone in this observation.

Interesting. In both my Fire HD8's, using the Samsung Evo Plus cards, I've had multiple "SD Card Unexpectedly Removed" warnings which is a pain in itself but also causes freezes and sometime complete lock outs. Just taken delivery of the SanDisk Ultra 64GB U1 A1 cards and popped them in and, so far, seem more stable. Still early days but let's to see if these work better than the Samsung Evo Plus cards.

hi brother, i have same thought to buy either this 2 card as its same price.
Hows your review so far? normally i use sandisk, i nvr try samsung before..
Hello,
has anyone been able to figure what the sdcard ratings are on this?
is it UHS ii?
can anyone post their write speeds?( people with sd cards anything under UHS i/ v30 please dont bother posting)
edit:
Also, to unify results can everyone use Androbench app?
And be sure to go to settings and point your ext sd card.
thanks
ain't anyone interested/curious in how fast their transfer rate to their sd card is? gues because it has nothing to do with facebook or antisocial media then it doesn't count as being a real thing...
if you have Solid Explorer you can visually see your transfer speed.
transferring the same file across different phones / SD cards can give you a comparison.
i believe the bottleneck is the SD card, as the phone is capable of transferring at speeds far beyond what the SD card is capable of. so even if the Note 9 can transfer faster than the other phones, the SD card will limit it to a fraction of its capable speed.
check Notebookcheck.net
Also most of the phone is stuck at <100MB/s for SDcard transfer rate atm. I don't know why but, maybe to prevent heat generated.
You can get an UHS-II TypeC card reader ya know. or get 512GB for full UFS 2.1 speed.

No not really. Different files and sizes transfer at different speeds. Also, you're basically stuck with whatever speeds you get as there are very few ways to 'optimize' or 'tweak' performance of a SD card. And besides most people are still buying MP3s. Why? I don't know. Ain't anyone interested in listening to CD quality music? Myself, I still buy compact discs and rip them into FLACs and MP3s when I get it then the CD mostly collects dust.
And some of us are waiting on 512GB cards from Samsung and SanDisk to come out. No point in buying a 400GB card when I know I will get the 512 when the price comes down.
all this is fine and dandy but i was expecting actual file transfer read and write data numbers.
none provided their current rates. all other info is irrelevant.
thanks
I'd be interested to know the slot speed rating as well. Currently the phone defaults to using the internal capacity to write to for things like high-end video recording, due to the external SD not being fast enough.
...But is that actually due to the slot speed not being fast enough? Or because the vast majority of users will use standard SD Cards, which aren't fast enough to keep-up and it would cause complaints. Would be nice to find out it's the latter, I wouldn't mind investing in a faster SD Card for a little boost in performance.
Although I don't know the specifics for the Note 9. The SD card reading hardware on the device is the bottleneck and a source of where all manufactures go cheap. The read and right will top out between 60MB/s to 70 MB/s. This is why the internal storage is preferred but I the device for use and the main thing people overlook when it comes to devices with expandable memory. Expandable storage is simply meant for storage and not for high quality video recording and bust, super slow-mo, and other high quality video and image writing.

4k video takes about 100- 150Mbs on a high end camera. That's about 18 MB/sec write speed. All the medium/high quality sd cards can do those speeds...

Yes, but most cards don't reach their advertised potential and multiple simultanious writes impact speeds a lot more. This is why there are 512GB devices and why they still sell. The average person won't max out the capability of the SD slot but you always get a few that will use the device well beyond what most of us will.
I'm getting read 73.41mb/s Write 31.85mb/s with the 256gb card that came free with the note 7. Also note, I only have about 47gb free on it so that may affect the results.

I use a Samsung EVO Plus 128GB card. 68MB/s sustained read and 62MB/s sustained write, using a 28GB 4k Blu-Ray rip. The card can read 100MB/s and write 90MB/s but those speeds are only close to achievable when plugged into my USB 3 card reader.
It's rated at 100 gigawatts.

Yes, but it is a large file. Read and write speeds tend to start off a bit better and should be a bit better for smaller files.

no problem, tests are encouraging. i have the evo plus 256gb and and on the note 8 was getting barely 10 MB/s write speeds.
on the computer was getting the advertised speeds on an UHS 3 reader.
Samsung EVO+ 256GB UHS-I microSDXC U3 (exact same as aznmode above).
Using the AndroBench app:
1st Run:
Read: 76.1mb/s
Write: 31.01mb/s
2nd Run:
Read: 77.24mb/s
Write: 29.56mb/s
As a reference, the internal memory bench is:
Read: 747.8mb/s
Write: 189.0mb/s
Trying to choose what MicroSD card to get for my Note 9
First is
Samsung Evo Plus 256gb
Link:- https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B06XFS5657/ref=cm_cr_othr_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1
Second is
SanDisk Extreme Plus 128gb
Link:-
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07FCMRBTM/ref=psdcmw_1345826031_t3_B07FCMKK5X?th=1&psc=1
Right away you'll notice one is 128gb & the other is 256gb this is because the storage isn't too important, 128 is enough, 256 is the same price..
However the SanDisk one is A2 certified & V30 certified which the Samsung one is not, also the SanDisk has a 170mb/s read Vs the Samsung's 100mb/s read
Will the A2 & V30 certification even make a difference on a Note 9?
Appreciate any help or opinions? Thanks

The impact between the Samsung SD & Sandisk is not so Big I guess. Anyway i have a pro SD card from Samsung in my Note 9 & what to Say? Works perfect.. but if you get more space for same price..i would recommend the Samsung anyway..
That depends on what you're going to store on the SD card. If it's music or data that's doesn't need lightning access, go for 256GB. You're getting 2x storage with same price. 100 mb/s read is not less either.
The premium cards with names like Extreme or Pro advertising more than a hundred MB/s speeds are useful for cases like 4K video recording or RAW (or burst shot) photography.
I assume your Note9 still has plenty of storage to do these stuff. You can always record or shoot photos on internal storage and can anytime move the older ones to SD card if you get low on storage.
As I have said, please do share the reason you're thinking about getting 100+ GB SD card.

Mainly high quality photo's, high quality videos, high quality music often .flac instead of .mp3 & possibly some movies..
You're correct assuming that my Note 9 has plenty of storage left I've only used 29gb out of 128gb, however I prefer to keep music, photos & videos on a removable storage
The reason I'm thinking about getting 100gb+ is because I already have 3 MicroSD cards full at this moment in time, they're 32, 32, & 16 so that is already 80gb in total, so a 64gb MicroSD wouldn't be much use, the next one up is 128gb...
I want to move all the contents of the 3 MicroSD cards & move them on to the 1, easy to manage my files that way
I often backup the MicroSD contents on to my PC twice a month, I'd want that to be fast as possible
It's my understanding that the V30 certification is for filming & saving 4K video directly on to the MicroSD right?, That wouldn't be too important as I'd film it on to my device first then move it later on..
However the A2 certification is regarding read speed right? Which is 170mb/s on the SanDisk compared to 100mb/s on the Samsung, how noticeable is the extra 70mb/s and it what circumstances?
Yes, V30 means the card can sustain continuous video recording at 30 MB/s. You said you're going to record on internal storage itself (and you should be) so that shouldn't matter much to you.
That enhanced write and read speed (with some caching and efficient performance) with A2 can give you higher speeds while backing up the data to your PC but it's just 1.7x with 0.5x storage (not mentioning other bottlenecks for maximum speed). I consider the 256GB to be having far more VFM. Your backup frequency will also get halved with double storage, no?
You can never go wrong with either of these. Premium memory cards like V30 are meant for professional video recorders and camera. Playing even 4K videos requires around 50 mbps and FLAC are under 1 mbps.
I think you should get double the memory for same the price!

Yes I'd record on internal so V30 can be forgotten about pretty much
Could I also expect bottlenecking on the Samsung 256gb?, & yes my backup frequency would probably be reduced to once a month with the increased space
Yeah the V30 certification would definitely make a difference to me if I was using a professional camera etc. But as it's my Note 9 & I'd be saving to internal, I don't necessarily need it
I'll probably end up going with the Samsung 256gb thank you very much for your help!

Yes, by bottleneck I mean the capabilities of Memory Controller and Card Readers.
Upon reading over the internet, I have found most SD cards averaging Read/Write below 70 MB/s. Read one benchmarking here for Samsung EVO+ 256GB UHS-1 microSDXC U3 that advertises speeds over 90 MB/s.
The bottleneck here is the card reader on Note9 as well as the hardware limits.
Even on a PC, the card interface or the adapter (in case you use that) could be bottlenecks.
I think you're going the right way with double the memory with same the price. There's diminishing returns on higher performance with increasing price.

Both are good brands. However if you are probably gonna get the same data transfer speeds on your device as the Note 9 doesn't have a very fast microSDcard writter in it.
I have a Samsung Evo Plus 256gb and it's good and fast. I can only recommend it
