I'm very new to the concept of adoptable storage and had a few questions. I've read that with adb you can enable AS on the s7 edge without root but that if sd card is too slow it would slow the performance of the phone. I have the lexar 633x 128gb micro sd card that I purchased with my note edge and that had to sit out for my s6 edge+. I don't plan on removing the card from my phone ever so that's not the issue. Just wondering if it's a good idea to try to use it as AS or would it really slow my phone. Heres a link to the card w read write spec. Also if you have any recommendations for another card that would be better.

Hello All I have a very simple question but plays a very important role in performance.
I got a 2GB SD CARD FROM SAMSUNG.
I have another LOCAL SD CARD 4GB
My question is will the SPEED Remain same to transfer or access data from both these SD CARDS.
I mean to say is will the LOCAL SD CARD BE SLOWER(since its not samsung branded) IN ACCESSING AND RETRIEVING DATA which will eventually slow down my phone or something like that.
I hope you all understood my question..will elaborate if u want me to.
hoping for a good answer.
Thanks
so many views yet no replies
cumon guys a small opinion would make a big difference
I am not very knowledgeable about this, but the class of the SD card matters when comparing performance. Here is a link that might help:

i have noticed that when i changed sd card from samsung original (came with phone) to new transcend 8gb sd card, phone is now booting for 5 minutes....
It being a samsung card doesn't make the card more "compatible" with a samsung phone. A card is defined by the card, not by the brand.

yeah so it means that performance has degraded right.
Also i think booting is not much worry as its done from ROM
so apart from booting what else is buggy or degrading performance,comparing both 2 GB and 8 GB
its on a card to card basis, if it is slower for him it doesnt mean it will be slower for you.
You should use a Class 6 SD card. Slower cards are not adequate.
Sent from my GT-I5801 using XDA App
You can use a class 6 SD card, however, i do not think the phone is capable of handling such high speed cards, and thus the read/write speed of the phone will limit the speed.
Conclusively i don't think there will be an increase in performance!
Hi All,
I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if it's just to be expected. I have an S7 edge that I'm attempting to move apps to the SD card and they are just painfully slow, if they transfer at all. I'm using a Samsung Evo 128gb class 10 micro sd card. I've also tried a SanDisk 128gb Ultra class 10 card and it was really really slow. Is there some trick to speed this up? Am I using too beefy of a card? Any help is greatly appreciated!!
move the apps always has been slow even in class 10 sd cards, or at least thats what I remember.... but every other thing is just right
re: microsd card speed

The speed of the external microsd card fully depends on the quality and the specs of the microsd card
itself. That's why some microsd cards are slow or super slow.
I have two 128GB microsd cards, one of them is Sandisk Extreme $80 model and it reads and writes
almost 5 times faster than my other off-brand $28 128GB microsdcard. Both microsd cards are class 10.
I am not talking about speed benchmarks, I am talking about real life transfer speeds under heavy usage..
I also have a 64GB off-brand $17 microsd card which is just as slow as my 128GB $28 off-brand microsd.
All 3 of my microsdcards were purchased at Amazon.com
Good luck,
Have a great day!
I have same problem here I have : https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00V62XBQQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And I go 13Mb/S Write and 60 MB/S Read
((((((
same here...
Just got my S7 and transferring speed from PC to external SD is extremely slow (I tried 64GB and 128GB sandisk class 10 which worked great on my last LG-G3...)
I also tried transferring from internal memory to external SD and it was still extremely slow..
Can it be HW problem (I can send it back for refund - but if it SW issue which can be fixed it would be a better)?
I recently bought a Kingston micro SD card 32gb u3 with 90 read 80 write speed. After full formatting on pc and then formatting it with the phone as external storage It works fine for up to 20~30 minutes max before auto ejecting it self. The is no notification or anything from the phone. If I go to storage setting it just simply has vanished from the list. Once I tried transferring a 4gb file to the SD card to see if it will have any issue and halfway through the process the transfer meter stopped followed by a notification saying it is not recommended ejecting the SD card at this time and then completely ejecting it once more. I'm running full stock on September security patch. Any ideas? I returned it to the reseller and ordered a similar one incase this was faulty.

Kingston cards are not the most reputable, but this issue sounds more phone related then a defective card... Try an old school fix, but a layer or two of scotch tape on the back side of the card, slightly increasing the thickness of the card, might maintain contact better.

The thing is first I noticed upon inserting the SD card that it was slightly thicker than the casing so it required a little bit more force. I don't think though it's a thickness problem because a class 10 verbatim u1 card and a class 6 I use now didn't have any problem whatsoever. The new class 6 is an 8gb kingston and when inserted in the space it was moving around a bit, but after inserting it in the phone no problem. Is a SanDisk card recommended as an alternative?

Personally I don't care for them... I recommend Samsung, EVO+ or higher grade.

What card are you using that is the most reliable for our phone? Should I go for the evo+ if kingston fails me again?

I have a 2 year old 64GB EVO (non-plus) in my MXPE, works beautifully... My Moto G3 has a 32 EVO+, and my son's Axon 7 has a SanDisk Extreme something (black with red lettering) that is a couple years old as well. All of them work fine.
When people ask me what to get, I recommend the EVO+ for a budget card, or Samsung Pro+ for higher-end applications.

The thing is is the SD on your mxpe u3? I'm looking forward to shoot some 4k videos and I want a SD card that can handle it. Im thinking it might be compatibility issue even though I read it supports u3

The reader in the MXPE is UHS-I, cards are rated in speed class (Class 10, U1, U3) and reader's SD bus speeds are UHS (UHS-I or UHS-II). I have never seen a benchmark for the card reader that is reliable but 70MB/s sustained writes with a proper card are regularly seen. UHS-I is limited to about 90MB/s write speed provided the card can handle it. But really 4K uncompress video only requires about 30MB/s. Although a UHS-II SD bus would be nice, a good U3 card is more than fast enough even at very high frame rates (4k with HD audio at 120 fps is about 60MB/s, depending on codec).
I have recorded 4k (2160p) video using the default camera app on occasion with my old EVO card, no issues with extended recording or frame drops.

Nice to know thanks for your time
So after receiving the new Kingston SD card same type u3 at first input on the phone it worked fine for about 3 hours or so . After this I changed user on the phone to do something and it had lost it . After a reboot the SD card was readable for about 4 minutes . After a second reboot and leaving the phone alone it didn't eject after an hour . Reformatted it as read on a forum that said to clean media and external storage data and reboot . Worked fine form an hour and ejected once more . Thing is I chose Kingston SD card because it is the fast with the best price . Should I just go with SanDisk or Samsung now?
Kingston cards are junk and have never worked well for me. Samsung and Sony cards have been flawless in multiple devices and multiple sizes. Also I have had good luck with Lexar cards currently have a Lexar 128gb in my Moto X pure
Why does it come to me when I insert a sd card "the sd memory card is too slow for your device, can have failures when running applications"? Is a sd card from 32GB to 70MB / S
Thanks!!
What SD card do you have? The SD card you have might be too slow in terms of write speed, since Class 10 SD cards are not all the same (confusingly). I think you'll want to buy a micro SD card that has at least Class 10 UHS Speed Class 3 (UHS-3), particularly if you want to use it as adoptable storage. UHS-3 has a minimum write speed of 30 MB/s and the UHS-3 marking can be seen on the packaging and SD card as a U with a 3 inside. I've seen UHS video SD cards (e.g. v30, v60) around that are potentially faster than UHS-3 but I'm not sure if our Moto G4s can make use of the faster speeds.
https://www.sdcard.org/developers/overview/speed_class/ and https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/choices/speed_class/index.html have a good overview, and as an example of what you could buy, https://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Extreme-microSDHC-Memory-Adapter/dp/B01HXR511A/
Hi, I have added an ARCANITE 128GB microSDXC Memory Card with Adapter - A2, UHS-I U3, V30, 4K, C10, Micro SD, Optimal read speeds up to 95 MB/s to my UK sourced unlocked S6 Lite
Try as I might I cannot seem to format the card to be used as expanded internal memory, am I goofing up or has Samsung removed this from the S6 Lite ?
On searching the web I find little except how to do it generically but there are no three dots nor is it offered when I go to format the card
Thanks in advance for the help I've spent a month trying vairous things but am plainly not up to it
I believe it is called "Adoptable Storage"
I think Samsung disabled it on its high end devices.
