Realistic price for 128gb or 256gb USB flash drive?

I'm wondering what you guys/gals would consider a legit/realistic price for USB flash drives of 256gb or 128gb capacity. From what I understand, a HUGE portion of the flash drives currently being sold on ebay are fake (it's apparently a huge, and growing problem for them).
So, you run into a conundrum between a price that is too good to be true, and, one that is simply a great deal (for legitimate product). Wondering if any of you have any experience with this.
Looking to buy something in the 128 or 256gb range, to connect to my Note 2 via USB OTG. Anyone?

newegg had one a 128gig on sales for 59.99 with free shipping.

Galaxy Note8 Storage Options - 256GB

Do we know when the 128GB or if Samsung would grace the rest of the world; the 256GB option? Im surprised that no outlet has records for the 128GB or is it coming after launch since I only see 64GB versions available for preorder 'globally'.

I've been trying to find a 128gb version as well.... But no luck.
So right now im holding out ordering and waiting to see if the 128gb is releasing soon some where in the world.

North America never gets anything but the lower option - 64gb. Which is enough for now especially adding in the 256gb micro SD. That being said, I personally would love to have 128gb option and would pay $100 more for the extra storage. Just like I would also pay $100 for a BL unlocked (Dev version) of the Note 8. Don't think they have offered a Dev version of the Note since the Note 4, of which I bought the Dev version of that phone.
The versions with more storage, more ram, etc are usually very rare and only release in the asian markets. Not sure why they do that as there would be buyers elsewhere in the world. Head scratching.

Yeah Im in the USA however I couldnt care less where the device is coming from.. I preordered a 64x from clove.. but like you wanted the 128 at least (which is in my s6e...) so im taken aback how the internal storage options are still paltry. Yes the card.. but its not UFS2.1 speed so i dunno what gives.

sidenote, the note 8 has a ufs card reader which is up to 3x faster than usdxc.. slight mitigation.. if you can find cards.

I doubt a 128 much less a 256 version will appear—it's a classic Samsung tune, with every model since Note 2 they've been promising a “Luxury” of whatever version of the same model, always with double the storage.
I've waited for a couple of those before—they've never materialized…

I am sure if they exist they would be very expensive

not a peep about then since last summer either, so it's surprising to find that they've included the reader.. some expectation then of release. but.. bixby, so who really knows.

Just buy exynos if you want an unlocked bootloader .

Only in korea.
Better buy SD Card a fast one that has fast reading speed sandiak 200 gb or samsung evo 128 gb.
With 200 gb sd card (180 gb actual space) + 64 gb storage (52 gb actual space) =
232 GB Of total storage.
Which is just as much as 256 gb samsung phone.
Cause 256 gb samsung phones have 235 storage due to software.

I heard bad things about lexar despite its read and write speed being really high. I heard it gets corrupted easily for some customers no thing solid thought...
But who knows..

I still have the evo 256gb that I got free with the note 7. Works like a champ. I also tried to find this ufs card but no luck.

I am buying 256 gb one then hope it doesnot run out.
Its price is really low and its fast sd card.

Apparently a 128gb version is expected to be launched in India. But i haven't been able to confirm that....
Tho a lot of sites selling phones with india as target audience is listing the 128gb version

In mexico the major carrier telcel only offers the 128 gb option

Samsung's 512gb micro sd card?

Anybody have any idea on this. I can't seem to find it out there , also can't seem to find a bundle with the note 9 and the 512gb micro sd card.
Thanks!

There is no bundle with a 512GB SD Card. Samsung is expected to release a 512 GB Micro SD Card, most likely when the Note 9 officially releases in 2 weeks

That's going to have a price tag more absurd than this phone I bet! Maybe... $350? $400?

Haha, well the 256GB is about $150 now, but was $250 or $300 when released. So maybe the 512 will be in line with those prices.
Really wish they bundled that instead of headphones.

My thoughts exactly, I got the 256gb with the Note 7 , was hoping to get the 512gb with the 9. Really dont need another set of headphones.

The only current 512gb micro SD cards on the market are the Integral (a UK brand), which just dropped from $399 to $350, the PNY, which just came out at $350, and the TeamGroup, a lesser know Korean brand that retails around $300, but can be found for $290 if you are lucky. The PNY and TeamGroup are both out of stock in the US right now, and the Integral is hard to find for the $350 price tag.

I wonder how the speed of the 512gb will be. card size is important but speed I can transfer files matters too if I'm moving such large files.
and the SanDisk/Samsung micro SD card naming scheme is so confusion..

I'm sure the speed is great as I have the 256gb microsd I received with the Note 7, the 512 should be faster. I move a lot of my apps to the sd and it runs just fine. I'll be using this 256 with the Note 9 when it arrives. Can't wait!

Who really needs this though, honestly...? I mean, if you need massive storage, it's cheaper to get the internal memory ($250, basically). I have a really hard time imagining someone needing 1TB of space on a phone right now, haha.
Personally, I ordered the 512gb phone and will be using my 256GB card I got from the Galaxy "Fireball". I think I'll get by with 768GB. ?

It started to pop up in Samsung stores around the world. At least Germany and US.

warning, high capacity samsung sd cards have slower write and read speeds in samsung phones. and samsung phones alredy have a reduced ext sd performance by default... so you do the math.
dont think the note 9 even has a UHS rating and poor performance backs it up.
save some money and get a cheaper card instead. if this sounds like Chinese and you have money, then why not.

Really? I find that hard to believe as the read and write speed is stated on the packaging. If it is not true then Samsung could be sued for false advertising.

in any uhs usb 3 cars reader speeds are on pare.
as stated earlier, in a phone, you will never get those speeds.
my samsung evo plus 256 performs like a cheap class 10.
so i can only imagine a 512gb.
ive made a thread about this....
a smaller 64 gb outperforms the bigger cards that have the exact same ratings.

Its 512gb micro sdxc compatible with my samsung s7 edge?

400 GB sandisk card $99 on Amazon
If you do a lot of 4k and slomo photography the sdx comes in handy to save wanted media, 4k is like 10mb'sec

Mi9 64GB or 128GB

Hello guys, please tell which of this two versions you've got and why.
Does it mather to pay about +-50 more to get the 128GB version instead of 64GB, if just the storage size changes?

Well sadly no expandable storage which sucks, so get 128gb if you can. Personally I have 64gb because thats the only version available at Amazon.

I depends on your usage, how much space do you use on your current phone?
I had less than 20gb left on my 64gb Mi A2, and now, i have 73 gb left on my 128gb Mi 9, if i had the 64gb version, i would have only 9gb left. You also need to think about your space for 2 years from now, and also for the resell value.

I bought the 128gb and I don't know why. 64GB would be enough.

Buying the 64GB here. Even with Netflix downloads, a few GB games and tons of photos., I’m hoovering at 20 GB free space after a year and a half. Google Photos saves a lot of space and unlimeted cloud storage in a decent enough quality.

Running 32GB internal + 64GB external, but most is on external SD btw. I have some OTG C to use too.

128g here! the way i look at it rather have too much than not enough haha

I have 6GB/128GB because the Mi 9 has no external storage

I have the Mi 9 because Belsimpel (dutch shop) only has the 128GB version in blue.

I wanted the 128gb version but it was out of my budget (was way overpriced too). So i went with the 64gb and to be honest i'm gonna miss my 128gb i had with my redmi note 4 as external storage ... but oh well at least i can sell it and get some money back out of it. c:

I have 6/64 and for me it is ok.
I don't need many space in mobile phone, just some gb for mp3 to listen in can via bluetooth.
If better 64 o 128 gb depend of your own use of mobile phone.

bought the 128gb version myself as the price i got on it was quite cheap but 64 one would have been just fine too (as i had a 32gb s7 edge previously with 32gb sdcard)

256GB, the more the merrier

Do note that the storage speed differs quite a bit between the two versions. The 128GB one has faster sequential reads (almost 800MB/s, compared to 620-690 the 64GB one gets) while the 64GB one has almost twice as fast seq write speeds (about 390MB/s compared to 180-ish the 128GB one gets). The other parameters are usually in line, they also tend to differ between ROM versions on the global dev I've been running until now.

My current phone is the LG V10 so I went with the 8/128. I don't like buying phones so I wanted to make sure this one lasts as long as possible.

Noticed that no-one is mentioning how much space you do actually get after turning the phone for the first time. I have see somewhere that 128g version has 117g free. Is this true?

Yup. I just roughly calculated it and I got 116,88gb. Don't remember the exact value.

Try get 128. But only if you use your camera often (specially video). I bought 64gb and now only my gallery take 15GB. 4min video from some event takes 1, 2GB. So let's think before.

I got the 64gb because the 128gb was too expensive when I ordered it. I use Google Photos so no storage space used for photos on my phone and it's free. Thanks whoever posted the RAM speed differences. I was unaware. I wonder if the 256gb has faster speeds?

Just before I purchased the phone, I changed my mind and went for 64gb version.
My previous phone had 64gb storage and 64gb SD card, and I was using around 100gb of the total.
On the way to the shop I had a little cleaning, and checked the files on my SD card and it turned out almost all is useless and I just keep it on my phone (I had 2 year old TWRP backups, many custom ROMs and mods that I don't need and use etc)
Same apps and similar amount of downloads (on Netflix, Spotify, Photos etc) and I have 30gb free on my 64gb Mi 9. So, I don't think 128gb is necessary for a regular user.
Now, I can use the 50 euros I saved, in buying a 20W wireless charger and a power-bank.

More storage or NM Card

I'll be getting this phone in about 4 weeks. As I expect to keep it for at least 3 years, I was intending to get the 256 GB version. Unfortunately here where I live the price difference between the 128 and 256 GB versions is about €150.
Would you recommend spending the extra money on more inbuilt storage or will there be any disadvantages in using a Huawei NM Card? An 128 GB NM Card costs here only about a third of the cost of the same amount of inbuilt storage.

It all depends on your habits, what is your main use? Photos? Games? Music? Also, is your next device going to be a Huawei Device? I ask because the only reason I bought the 256gb Version and not a nanomemory card was because I dont think my next device is going to be Huawei and NM only works on Huawei Devices.
and is 128gb not enough? Is google cloud an option? You could get 100gb on google cloud for like 5 years with $150 or whatever it is in euros.
