Samsung 32gb class 10 here. It's the fastest sd card on the Earth and the 32 GB are just enough for me. Since I can't install apps on it, I never had more than 7 GB used.

I bought that one and a USB 3.0 microsdxc card reader that supports UHS-1 speeds. While, the s4 will supposedly work with their own card, you won't get the higher read/write speeds on the s4, but you will on your pc.
Sort of a pain to take the card out and stick it in the usb 3 card reader, but for 64gb and you're trying to transfer large video files - may be easier, I suppose

I am wanting to buy a 64gb memory card and have looked at san disk however I have had one which corrupted on my note 2 so am concerned.
Has anyone used the 646gb sandisk class 10 with the new s4 ??

Same here, I had 2 Sandisk SD cards 32GB and both of them got corrupted on MY S3, I don't know is was a bad production or not but the truth is that is very disappointing.
Some people say that rooting phones corrupts the SD card forever, Dunno is its true, Any way I think i will give it a shot on sandisk again for my new S4.
Peace :good:

hi

Micro SD cards.
Most Micro-SD cards are fairly close to 'identical', except when comparing them to speed of storage and quality of information exracted.
You should look for the HQ type, where you obtain the highest quality for your store MP3 and .jpg images and video.
Most newer cards are similar in capacity, so now you should look into storage quality of the media. the 'HQ' label indicates a 'higher level' of quality for media uploads/playback. and should also be identical for data storage/retreival also.
There are other formats of this type to look into if you are digging into the depths of how the information is stored/retreived, but then you are going to need to query the manufacturer about these deails, as they are not placed on the labels of the SD cards being currently sold.
There are cards for 'HQ', 'HS' and bulk storage, you only need to determine your actual needs, and how much you need the added 'quality', although many, including myself, would opt for the 'HQ' variety, just to be certain I get the best results from my stored data.
As always, your mileage may vary....YMMV.
Good luck hunting!

What you need to do is just lookup "microsd card benchmarks" and there should be a web site comparing a bunch of them.

There's also a 64GB Version of this card!

San disk is the best, however they are more expensive, you prob want something class 10, also i don't suggest buying from ebay only when buying sd card, because there is a scam going on right now with sd cards on ebay, also a little side note if you have a samsung devise then i would get a Samsung sd and so on.

Good

I have Neo N003 chinese phone.

Yeah don't get them on eBay. Every SD card I got from eBay had some sort of storage issue. Not recording the data and what not. I've got a Galaxy S4, and I just went out and bought the first Samsung 32gb micro SD class 10 card I could find. I do want to upgrade to the fastest 64gb one though soon.

[Q] Which Note 3 compatible 64GB Micro SD Card to get?

I've read mixed results with the overall Samsung Galaxy series of phones and Sandisk micro sd cards.
I was thinking of getting this 64GB Class 10 card:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/SanDisk-64GB-microSD-Class-10-Ultra-Card/23350707
But didn't know what/if any the current people already with Note 3s are using. Some people say to stick with the Samsung 64GB version as there are issues with some phones only being able to read exFat.
I just wanted to make sure that the card I buy actually works with the Note 3 when it arrives and not have to deal with returns and buying multiple makes/manufacturers of cards until I find a working one that lets me use all 64GB.
Thanks!

From what I read 64GB is the max that the Note 3 can handle at the moment, and having 96GB of data storage capability is pretty damn snazzy to me :victory:

Still using the SanDisk 64gb card that I had in my note 2. Working just fine.

Get the card that's made for your shiny, new phone. SanDisk quality has gone down since their popularity skyrocketed. Plus, the Samsung has faster transfer speeds: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-Extreme-MB-SGCGB-AM/dp/B009SK57IS/

I agree, get the Samsung card. Though this is the correct link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009SK57ZQ/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Maaan, you're getting the world's most fastest advanced phone that has not 1, 2, 3 but 4 world firsts on it (4K recording, 3GB ram, MicroUSB 3.0, 24bit audio), the bleeding edge of technology, and you put a ultra 64gb class 10 card in there? forget about it...step up to the big boys, you have to get this one...
(won't let me link, i removed it, but google "world's fastest microsd" and it's a sandisk card)
Its the Sandisk Extreme 64GB MicroSD card...it's the world's fastest sd card, it's stats are 80MB read, 50MB write, but actual tests have shown 96MB read,.and 61MB write, which destroys any other class 10 sd card...class 10 is 10MBps, this card is hitting 5 to 9 times that depending on read/write
Look at this review
(I cant believe they wont let me link, its by legit reviews, just google it)
It's perfect for 4K recording, USB 3.0 transfers, etc..
With those read speads you won't see the lag the ultra 64gb card have when you open gallery, and i know because i had one in my note 2 and it took a bit for it to load all my pics, bet it doesn't with this behemoth...Im selling my ultra and pony up the difference for the $99 extreme
The fastest microsd card in the world for the fastest phone in the world...perfect match...

I would say NO to sandisk cards. Had a 64 gb class 10 ultra high speed in my note 2 and got all sorts of crashes.
Put it in my laptop and yepee..lost all files...

That is the Ultra, which Sandisk as already acknowledged there was an issue and was working with customers for exchanges, they do have a lifetime warranty, this is a different microsd card, probably different parts altogether due to it's speed

I getting Note 3 soon...
thinking shoild get Samsung MicroSDHC Pro 64GB or Sandisk Extreme MicroSDHC 64GB.

never heard of it?
from samsung or sandisk?

I had been a Sandisk loyal user until my S4 which caused hiccups, lags, mysterious file disappearance, random reboots, unable to transfer large files and many more.....
I then switched to Transcend MicroSD on my S4 and all the above problems disappeared. I've been using an old 8GB Sandisk on my Note 3 and so far haven't experienced any problems yet. I am awaiting for the 128GB Microdisk SDHC coming out soon and really make use of that 1080p screen.

Not true at all, it can and will read the 128gb microsd. But it can also read up to 2 TB hdd via otg cable. I also have a microsd to Sdcard tf cable that reads my 256gb sdcard.
Check out amazon for a huge discount on that 128gb microsd @119.99!!

Technically, due to xc specifications, we should be able to use an sd card up to 2 TB... If they made them that big...

You were just misinformed companies want you to think there's a limit but when your on a site like xda there's no fooling us lol, even though at that time 64 gb microsd was the biggest external microsd option there were ways to get around the limit via regular sdcards. I have a 256gb sdcard I use on my note 3 from a tf cable that uses the microsd card slot on the note 3 so I can insert my sdcard and store massive amounts of data on it. I'm planning on buying the 128gb microsd also tho just to support sandisk and Thank them for finally making this happen, we're sure to see 128gb internal phones in the near future now.

C'mon, this is very simple, until couple days ago the largest micro sd card was 64GB and that's how far they could test it and that's what they wrote in the specs. If the 128GB card follows the specs, it has to work, but I do remember in the past some cards didn't work with all devices and I have no idea why, something about particular controller being not compatible, so it would be foolish for Samsung to post specifications which can't be tested. I had same thing with my old camera, specs listed 32 GB max, largest size at the time of release but it worked with 64GB fine when those came out. So when do we get 256GB, 128GB seems so yesterday.

Almost certainly it will work. However the manufacturer suggested price (200$) is just "marketing" similar to what is routinely done on overpriced jewelry, the initial launch price seems to be closer to 120$ and I would be quite surprised if the price will not get towards 70-80 US$ once the competition really heats-up.

Amazon has it for $119 but it is out of stock.
No idea when they will actually have it.

It's been over 1 year so it's probably time to confirm that the SanDisk 128GB Ultra Micro SDXC Class 10 UHS-1 card works flawlessly on a Samsung Note 3 SM-N900T (running either KItKat or Lollipop). For best performance it doesn't hurt to adjust the read-ahead cache higher than the default 128K (I use 1024K).
Beware of the many "fakes" found online. As of this writing, anything under $50 is probably not a genuine 128GB card, but you can find legitimate ones for as little as $65 if you search around.

hi, i buyed 64 memory card 10class with no logo brand name, and pasting files from pc it taking long 32gb time 11hours, wtf i wanna buy SAND DISK 32GB Ultra, so faster speed than this bull****??????????????????? im pissed of when it taking to long copied files.

1. Self-censoring is not sufficient to avoid an infraction from moderators. I highly suggest editing your post and removing all the curse words within it.
2. Buying a no-name MicroSD card is the source of all your problems. I bet that card was really inexpensive, right? That's because the card manufacturer lied to you and told you the card was Class 10 when it really is Class 2 or Class 4. These cards are far slower than a true Class 10 card, but are far less expensive as well.
3. It's good to see you've learned the lesson here, which is to only buy brand name MicroSD cards. Sandisk is a good choice.
