I woukd rate them best in the class..... even better than sandisk ones....
Waiting for the price to drop a little bit more... never see them below 60 $

I have used both the Samsung and the SanDisk with no problems. Cannot recommend one over the other - both fast and reliable.

It is the best performance / value.
More info @ The best 64GB micro SD card for Galaxy Note 3

Samsung micro sd is my first choice its never failed me, second choice Strontium (Singapore) it just as good as Samsung and just a little cheaper (i was very surprised its performance and quality, i own 2 x 32gb its as fast as Samsung Pro class).
-Samsung still my first choice, Sandisk too many failure these days.

I use a Sandisk Ultra 64GB micro SD card and have recently removed it due to an overheat problem near the camera/flash area. I did not want to risk burning out the card (9months old) and I was told that removing the card might improve the over heat problem but it has not as of yet.

[Q] Micro SD / Battery

Alot may know this,
I had been using an old 8gb Class 2 card until it broke!
I since reverted to a 2gb Class 4 which i have seen a massive increase in battery life.
Question I would like to ask though is it because it is a class 4? or is it because the SD is a smaller size?

Almost burned off my hand trying to take it out of the computer, the adapter may be fried becuase of this. Is there a proper procedure to doing this?
The adapter is kingston
when I put this in the evo it just freezes the phone and it doesn't load up.

Is this a newly purchased card?

Sd removed unexpectedly problem?

Since the last two minor updates I constantly keep getting the error message "SD card removed unexpectedly"... Anyone else experienced this?

Most probably a bad sdcard. There are lots of thread for this here. The solution is to get it replaced.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2331434
I had similar issue and I claimed my warranty to get replacement.
Now everything is working great (so far).
You can also install this app named "SD card monitor" on play store.
It will tell you how many times you card has been failed.
My card was unmounting and then mounting itself lots of time. Mostly in deep sleep mode which make my phone battery drain faster.
I had the same problem in the end the SD card reader stopped working.event on utube to see how easy it was to fix.bought a new SD, sim card reader from eBay £5.70 an easy 10min fix no problems since

I had the same problem with a 32GB Class 4 microSD (SanDisk).
Replaced it with a Class 10 from Kensington and everything worked fine since then.
Please note that the faulty SD card worked fine on a Galaxy mini and mini 2 but I've tested it in the GS4 of my brother and he had the same problem as I had.
Might be a problem with the speed? Class 4 is slower and doesn't work in a GS4?
Just replace it with a Class 10 and it should work.
And a small tip... don't buy SanDisk... many users reported problems with SanDisk.
It seems sandisk sd card are problematic. There are lotsnof issue with sandisk class 10 specifically on 32gb and 64gb.

Mine is a SanDisk 32GB but it's annoying that before the updates I had never had a problem but I'll try and get another sd card and see how it goes. Thanks for the replies

I still don't think this is an sd card problem and more of a software problem as when it sais sd card unexpectedly removed bla bla bla... I can't open up the apps but I can still view files on the sd card open them up etc and it only started happened after the last few updates

It seems to be the card tray loosing contact, I tried pushing on its lower right corner and then it would read. Got a I9506 don't know if its the same problem on all phones.
Perhaps you could fix this by gluing it stuck in this new position

Slow SanDisk Micro SD 64gb Extreme Pro

Hey guys. I have a Verizon Note 3. Just bought the SanDisk Extreme 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-I Memory Card (SDSDQX-064G-AFFP-A) and received it from Amazon. I've used the SanDisk Memory Zone App and it's speed test is saying the read spead is about 30 MB/s. Additionally, I've used the A1 SD Bench app and the results for the Accurate with reboot results are worse. 21.61 MB/s! I put the SD card in and reformatted it in the Note 3. Everything is stock, no root. The claimed max read speed with the card, according to SanDisk, is 80 MB/s. I've even heard some people getting almost 100 MB/s with these cards. What gives? Any suggestions on how to increase the performance? BTW, the card is still blank and I haven't added any files from my old card on to the new one. Thanks!
I would like more info about this also. I am between 64GB Ultra and Extreme...

The note 3 doesn't support UHS-1 so you wont get anywhere near the advertised speeds.
Is it a hardware or software thing?

This is the answer to OP's Question.
Yeah, I too suffer with the same problem and painfully found out that the Card Reader (In our Case the Mobile) should support handling that card as well. My GoPro Hero 3 Supports this flawlessly.
So, our device is high end. But it doesn't support this. What phones do? HTC?

[Q] Note 3 has fried two micro SD cards.

I have had my Note 3 for less than a month. In the time it has managed to kill two micro SD cards. I thought the first one was just and old card, but the second was brand new. Is this a common thing for these phones? Will T-Mobile replace my phone? Will they replace the SD cards their possibly defective phone killed?
Have you already tried connecting the SD's to the PC?
Try anyway to get swapped the phone when the micro SD aren't working on the PC. This seems to be very unusual!!

Do you live in a warm tempreture ?
Do you run games on it for extended periods of time ?
Are they a decent brand of memory ?
Does your phone run/feel hot most of the time ?
Lots of things could affect this, be sure to alert your carrier and make them aware that it keeps happening.
Ive had my Note 3 since release and a new 32GB sandisk Class 10 and its used A LOT, with no problems whatsoever.
Hope you get this resolved :good:
Usually warm temperatures don't harm that easily the SD, my note 2 hadn't had any issue regarding temperatures. Although when abroad in hot countries then phone heats up to 50°c without frying the interior. (I know it's not good but no other choice.

It's cold here at the moment. Middle of winter. I don't run games on my phone very often at all. I mostly just read e-books and take pictures which are stored in the now dead card. My phone doesn't really stay in any extreme temperatures. Texas winter is mild. Also they are good SD card brands. I can't remember the name at this second.

No the warm temps, cause the phone to heat up faster ( and stay warmer longer) thus*maybe* killing the SD card :angel::angel:

What cards have you been using ? Cheap ones or well known brands ?
Texas #jelous !
Maybe Limlik, always used Kingston and they never died! When I had my Xperia Arc S, the phone was permanently running with over 40°c and nothing fried ^^ I think his phone kills Dr SD completely not by heat :/

Lexar, at this time, are the fastest class of sd cards. They are a pretty decent brand . I know the 256gb class 1 sd card retails anywhere from $499 - $1000+...
Have you rooted? If you have, maybe the cooling control has gone wrong - processor running too high too long

Does your phone gets hot when there is no SD Card in it?
I've read some posts on overheating of the N3 but only if there is a SD card in it. Have you tried to factory reset your phone?
There are people saying that simply turning on the Power Saving mode helps, and others claim that Samsung Knox is the troublemaker and by uninstalling it the issue was gone.

The second card fried overnight while charging. Knox is disabled via root,
Then use it for a certain time without SD (an hour or so while playing or watching videos.) Then try with Power Saving. When not working try factory reset.

Samsungs kill SD cards. Anecdotal evidence is that Samsung's own MicroSD's seem to be more resilient. There is little to no benefit in using super-fast high end cards as the internal interface speed isn't fast enough to benefit from it.
Googling turns up many threads concerning newer model (S3, S4, Note 2, Note 3) Samsung devices frying MicroSD's.

If I read enough posts, most of the people were using a Class 10 memory card and faced this issue.
samsung told me over the phone class 10 is above the sdcard reader spec's so corruption is likely, they also said 64gig is not supported. Thats one reason I got a samsung branded 32gig class 6 card.

I don't see any other possibility, except for an hardware issue.

It's what I got, and I think that's right. Just to make something clear, S3, S4, Note 2 and Note 3, aren't supposed to support class 10. If you haven't got that issue good for you I don't have that issue either so I'm quite glad
