Hi all, just wondering if anyone has had any issues with 128gb sd cards? Looking at buying one but don't want it to fail like the 64gb I got for the s4.
Many thanks in advance

iv been using my 128gb SanDisk micro sd since I bought my s5 last month and iv had no problems at all. I had problems with my s4 using anything bigger than a 32gb memory card random data loss or corrupt card was usually the case.
Zeus85 good to know it works fine.
Couple of questions:
Have you encrypted it as well? Curious how long would it take and would it hinder card performance.
Ate you able to make some card speed tests with and without encryption?
128 gb works just fine on s5.
My sandisk 128gb works great

That is an odd comment suggesting that you don't know or possibly, understand the reasons for the "S4 failures". The 128 GB cards work fine on the S5, the only real drawback being that they carry a stiff price premium over 64 GB cards.
However, any SD card, even highly rated brands can experience unexpected failures. They are usually rare unless a particular manufacturing run or model have an unexpected bug. The latter has been known to happen, but again an uncommon situation.
But by far the majority of SD card failures are due to the large number of inferior quality fakes on the market. Some of the counterfits have perfect packaging and labels and are very hard to identify as fakes. Nevertheless they have a much higher failure rate due to substandard electronics. Meaning that buying cards from a lot of discount sources, in particular ebay and most mail order vendors is fraught with peril.
You won't be able to avoid the risk of "S4" type SD card failures no matter what you do though. All you can do is minimize your risk. But some people will have cards fail, no matter what their size, brand or vendor. Given this, I would rather pay a stiff retail price but obtain a lifetime warranty through a major retailer.

Many thanks for the replies people I shall purchase one today

So has anyone who has replaced their microsd slot not have any issues? If you did replace yours, then its been almost a month and by now you would probably know if there is an issue or not.
And if so what card did you replace it with.
Just so u know it'll be rare to find anyone with this phone since the only ones who got a hold of it had to have access to Microsoft stores which are rare. And even if u had access to ms stores, u were lucky if you got one since they were very limited.
And say they got one, the odds that they knew about xda developers is low. Very low. I mean xda is huge, but there arent a lot of users compared to the shear number of devices actually sold by a company.

So,
did anyone who received their DVP tried to change the SD-card? Has anyone found a (confirmed) (un)official list of cards that are compatible or seem to work perfect?
I'd like to have it here before I order my DVP
Thanks!
Someone stated a 8GB model was successfully swapped with a Class 2 32 GB Sandisk card

Yeah, I've read that one, so guess it will work, but since Microsoft announced that not just any high class would work, I had hoped some users would have started testing to see which would be best... And I've also read that it's not overal throughput that is important, but random read/writes...
Where did you guys buy your micro SD cards for a cheaper price and how many gb should I get if I want to run cm7 off of the SD? Thanks guys

The NC can support 32G uSD, majority of people uses 16GB or 8GB Sandisk, class 2 or 4.
Some reported Sandisk cards from ebay are counterfeit.

The other two are test installs, one for miui and the other for cm7, but.
I have one 8 gb that is my stock 1.2 nook ereader on it.

According to other members, Sandisk class 2 is one of the best for NOOK, 4GB seems to be low (the ROM itself - /system - doesn't take that much) for storage but you actually have at least 1GB on eMMC or potential 5GB (if v1.1 or re-partition)

Sweet! Thank you, mine is already on it's way.
I know you'll like it - it's great to be able to take the guesswork out of finding something that works so well.
These cards were originally found by user busyworked, and he put quite a bit of research into tracking down model numbers to locate these specific cards.
The original post is Here.
One of the things that makes this community so fantastically great, is the amount of work that people put into this stuff on their spare time. By keeping the record straight for who found (or did) what, we can keep building on that knowledge without crossing the same ground. It's also great to make sure the right people get credit for what they've done.
I'd hate to take credit for anothers discovery, just want to make sure others know how much effort he put into finding that gem of a card. I didn't have enough time earlier to link the post, but the shopping link was a shortcut on my desktop and quick to call up.

I got this card but it came "oem" No packaging and couldn't tell if it was new. It wasn't described as oem in packaging from Etech, very annoyed by this.
Keep your fingers crossed that it isn't a counterfeit.
Yeah, I hope it works when mine arrives too.

I have one of these, it outperforms every other card i've been able to get my hands on.
Forget what the packaging was like when it came in, but shipping was quick.
It's marked in the same fashion as another SanDisk (8 gig class 4) card I bought at Radio Shack.
My 8 gb sandisk from etech was in new retail packaging.
My 16 gb sandisk from etech was OEM (no package, no nothing for that matter).
The 16 gb sandisk seems to work just fine, I've had it for about a week and a half on my nook color as it's primary sd card with emmc with cm7.
After thinking about it more deeply, my 16gig card came in just the small plastic case with a full sized sdcard adapter, no original packaging.
I run my OS from the card, not emmc, and it is fantastically better then other microsd cards i've used.
It doesn't bother me that it wasn't advertised about the packaging, but I can certainly see how some(probably most) people would be ticked about it. I concede without question the legitimacy of the argument.
I defray the idea that the card may have been previously used by the amount of business the company does. I think they pump more volume out then they could keep track of an 'employee loaner program' or whatever.
At least this thread has borne out this fact, so we can say buyer beware of the packaging issue.
That said, it's still the best MicroSD card we know of - unless some of the people researching the "operating system from MicroSD" situation have some hidden gem they aren't talking about.
(I sincerely doubt this, it's like the complete opposite of the spirit of the place we are in...tantamount to committing sacriledge in a church or something)
Sorry, I didn't think to mention this.
Both 16gig cards I ordered from there came in OEM packaging, didn't seem like a big deal to me at the time.
I never considered any of the thoughts surrounding that revelation, or I would have made it known up front.
My apologies.
(still a rockin' card though)
I'm happy with mine. Can't beat the $17 Amazon/etech charged. Aside from the shipping envelope it came in, packaging looks just like I'd see it on the shelf at walmart...
Works great too!

I bought this one to use it in the NC. Very fast, comes with adapter.
Free shipping. The store itself is very good, respectable. I have bought laptop from them before.
I get all my electronics online, almost always from Amazon.
The size sd card you should get depends on what you want to keep in your nook.I don't store music our videos on mine so 8gb us plenty for me.

Questions like these will just invoke peoples opinions and everybody has one. Nobody will be able to tell you what is "best". They all work good and the same. Samsung make cards just fine. So does PNY, Lexar, Kingston,Transcend,etc. Me personally, I stay with the major brands. You should be fine if you do so.Sounds like you just might have a bad card.Take it back and exchange it for something else.

I am a fan of Sandisk cards. Used a 64GB micro in this phone and then moved onto a PNY card which is what currently is in my Note now. There is another thread somewhere in here, maybe Accessories, that has a great deal on MicroSD cards from Best Buy and Amazon. I would start to look this week at getting a card cause you probably can get one for a steal being that this is Black Thursday/Friday.

Basically, I'm trying to decide between a Samsung 64gb Pro sdxc class 10 or a Sandisk Extreme sdxc class 10, which is like $25 more. Am I wasting my money going the more expensive route? Will my phone even show the difference?
I was having problems with my 16 and 32G samsung cards in my note 2, when i got my note 3 i went with a 64G sandisk (had an amazon gift card to use up) and have nothing but good things to say. I tried my 32G samsung in the note 3 as well and it was hit or miss kinda like your describing
It's hit or miss. My 32 gb sandisk class 10 just stopped working last night, lost everything on the card. Im probably going with a samsung card next. There are many reports of samsung devices ruining memory cards, especially sandisk brand.

I went ahead and bought the SanDisk extreme. Just had it for a couple hours and my phone seems to be running hot. I'll keep you guys updated.
I have a Sandisk 64gb card. It did crap out on me but they replaced it and so far so good. I've never had a problem with Micro Center cards but as of right now the biggest they have is 32gb. That's my backup in case my 64gb Sandisk craps out again.

Been running my Sandisk Extreme 64gb for a couple of days and it has not beengiving me any giving me any problems. Everything is running smooth. It doesn't seem lightning fast but it's pretty fast. Nothing impressive on my benchmark but I got it for free. If I had to pay money, I think I would go Samsung pro.

Is anyone else using this card, or had these problems? Card mounted fine when I first took it out of the package. File Transfer from my backup on my Ubuntu 13.10 powered Dell d630 Lat. to the card in a USB 2.0 reader was real slow. Had problems with files disappearing, folders showing up empty, and apk files becoming corrupt and unusable. Card comes in extFat32 format.pulled the card, wiped it and formatted it to fat32 using gParted.transfer the second go round was a lot faster for the most part, but files disappearing and folders coming up empty still happening.i even re downloaded several files just incase they were corrupted during the transfer. Is it a bad card, or are there problems with how s4/MJA handles 64gb cards?

I recently bought a sandisk class 10 64gb XDHC card and have had 0 problems. I agree with the poster above. Be sure (Since it's off of ebay) you really are getting what you pay for. My card was $50 from amazon. Don't know if you got it super cheap or something from ebay but that could be your problem. I would exchange it and if that still doesn't work then you are most likely getting mislabeled fake cards. Memory I always try to get from the manufacturer or reputable company because there are TONS of fakes out there.
Again I'm on 4.3 MJA stock with root and philz recovery and have no problems with mine albeit a different brand.
Best of luck though!
For what it's worth I had the sandisk 64gb ultra (from amazon) and had issues constantly with it becoming unmounted, despite anything I tried.. Some have no issues with the sandisk. Prior to that I had a sandisk 32gb ultra and never had an issue at all, which is what I expected from the 64gb sandisk.
It didn't take me long to switch to the same samsung 64gb (from amazon) you've got, no issues at all, and it's been several months now....
I think the others said it right, get that thing replaced for another...

I've been using SD-based storage for a long time (I think my old HP iPAQ pocket PC had one) and have had good, but not perfect, luck with them being reliable.
Given my personal experience with very occasional corrupted storage (unreadable jpgs, that kind of thing - never had a catastrophic whole card failure), I would be very reluctant to incorporate SD card storage as a potential point of failure for my device's basic operation.
Glad you didn't have a bigger problem.

Never had that brand before, was it genuine or a cheap one?
The only time I've ever had issues is when I tried to go cheap instead of forking out retail prices.
Yea....I lost many pictures of my Ex-Girlfriends because of corrupt SD-Cards.
One of girlfriends pictures were so good, I have contemplated sending my SD Card to a data recovery firm and forking out the $250 so I can get these images. Yea, they were that good. She was just too crazy to stay with though. =)

Highly doubt it, I'm sure they would just erase everything but you could always call them up and ask. Nevery done it, I only call to confirm my cards I received were in fact real Sandisk
I had 2 Sandisk become Read-only in my Galaxy phones (replaced under lifetime warranty). I've had a Samsung 64GB running for over two years with no problem.
I have a Lexar Pro 1000x 128Gb do the same thing, came up corrupted about 4th day of use (Mar 14). I had enabled encryption on it, after reformatting I disabled encryption and reloaded from my backup. It's been fine since. Any chance you HAD been using encryption on the SD card?
My phone is the SM-G935A (US AT&T) variant.
My 128 card corrupted after i encrypted it. I disabled the encryption, restarted the phone and it fixed the problem. I can access the files now, seems there is a problem with andriod encryption.
Fyi, no issue with my SD card to this point, keeping it un encrypted.
I had a 64gb sandisk go read-only on me one day. Sent it to sandisk and they sent me a new one quick and easy.
Currently have a 128gb sandisk. *knocks on wood*
Same here, it's a 128GB Sandisk class 10 brand new. Have to reformat the card. Luckily I gave a backup.

Not a UHS-II interface in the phone. The cards (such as the Lexar 1000x and 1800x) will work, just not at rates beyond the UHS-I interface.
It's better to spend less money on more capacity from a 'lower spec' Sandisk type card, IMO.

Thanks for the info.
Now the dilemma is whether pay more and buy for the future or less and get higher capacity as you suggested
