My note 8 should be arriving Friday. I was wondering what brand/size sd cards people are using.

Do you have the camera set to write to that?
I've seen those and the write speeds are slow enough to cause issues if capturing long videos at UHD, etc.
Samsung 256gb EVO 2 or whatever they call it.
Using the 256 GB Samsung kindly sent when I preordered with the charger and 128 GB bundle!

Yes of course. No issues with writing to card.
Burst photos are forced to write to the internal storage though.

I can't find the link now, but there was a recent thread about these 32GB sandisk class 10's and someone posted a warning that the Galaxy Note 2 and S3 have been known to "eat" them. As in render them useless. I'd avoid them for now.

google Piriform Recuva, nifty free program that's pulled at least some stuff off of dead SD cards and USB drives for me.. and as for the class 10s failing I've heard of this problem but there's an easy solution, don't use a class 10 card.. I've been rocking a 32gb class 4 for idk how long now, sure it might be slower but I have yet to see one fail

I'm using class 4 but it is also having the sd card issue. Notice it is more problematic when my battery is low.
..
It only takes a maximum of 32gig.

I've seen many reports of that 64gb works just fine. Same with other models as well.
It's just that samsung doesn't test full functionallity with bigger sd than 32gb.
Like for SGSII, Samusng IS stating it supports up to 32GB but I'm using Sandisk Ultra Micro SD SDXC UHS-I 64GB on mine, though I never tried it on SGSIII Mini. I mounted old 8GB class 6 there as my wife does not need more and it was just collecting dust. I could swap for a quicky test, but it's not going to tell you anything re stability etc, just if it mounts or not. I don't want to do it as my wife is using her phone all the time and I really can't see the point in taking it over for the day and waiting ... for something/anything.
Mind you - Sandisk Ultra Micro SD SDXC UHS-I 64GB can be really defective and I trust I was very lucky to get a good one.
The 64GB card's working just fine in my phone, "internal SD-external SD swap" script and all.
Thanks
Great, thanks everyone!
So I was loading my SD card up with music. About half way through the transfer stopped. At that time I was roughly 50% through the transfer . Up until that point I was getting write speeds of between 6mb-11mb/s . Then half way through the transfer seemed to stall out . After a min or two it resumed. After it resumed I was getting between 600-999KiB/s
Any idea what could cause this ?
Did you format the SD card in your pc, phone, or just pop it in and go?
From Dante's Inferno via XDA Premium HD
Given that you are having problems I would format it in a computer using exFAT format with quick format turned off so that the card is fully tested. There could be issues with the card itself and this would help identify that.
And then order the Samsung card...
Back up all our info . card is gonna take a **** soon.
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Backup whatever you have on that SanDisk and get a Samsung or another dependable brand. I've learned my lesson on 3 SanDisk cards that clunked on me, causing to me to lose unrecoverable data each time. I got a Samsung Evo.
Where did you get it from and how much did you pay? It could be a fake.
I'm using a SanDisk 64gb extreme ultra which to my mind is the only suitable card for the note 4. I'm getting write speeds of 44mb on average.

^^ What he said.. Stick with the Samsung card, you paid a boatload for a flagship phone, don't save a buck on the SD card.
I'm using a Samsung 64gb UHS-1 card, works great. The Sandisk UHS-3 64gb card is like $40 on Amazon right now. I think that's a heck of a deal. I just want to upgrade to a 128gb not to another 64gb.

Well that's a shame. Hopefully a 128gb Samsung UHS-3 will be released affordable.:good:
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.

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.

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.

important thing is which class it is. like R/W speeds must be fast if you are going to use that sd card

Currently using the 256GB card from the Note 7 pre-order and I am becoming afraid to buy anything larger because who knows how much longer we will be using these cards. Manufacturer's like One+ and Google don't have Micro SD support and I would kick myself so hard if I shelled all that money out for something a future device can't even use.

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.
