[Q] which micro SD should I get?

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

ASUS ME176CX-A1 128gb MicroSD Card?

Hi,
I saw that offically the ASUS MeMO Pad 7 ME176CX-A1 only supports up to a 64gb MicroSD card but in my experience with past phones and tablets they usually support larger? I was wondering if the ME176CX-A1 would support a 128gb MicroSD card? I was looking at purchasing this: PNY High Performance 128GB High Speed MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-I, U1 up to 60MB/sec when I purchase the tablet its self. Any Opinions or advice? I know the one im buying is 4.4 Kitkat which I'm hoping can still be rooted and such since Lollipop has proved very troublesome in that regard.

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.

Here is a test

Thanks!
63MB/s read and 18MB/s write? Seems low, dosent it?
Cheers

It's ok for me. I paid for it 29 euros

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.
Here's a screenshot of my benchmark. I use an old Samsung 32gb class 10 card.

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.

SD Cards - Samsung Evo Plus Vs Sandisk Ultra

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.
