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

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)?

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.

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,
I searched the forums but could not find an answer for my problem.
I have used two MicroSD cards in my Huawei U8800 so far.
One is a Lexar 8gb Class 4 that works normally and the other is a Transcend 16gb Class 4 that is very very slow.
When using the 16gb card in my PC's card reader it doesn't seem so slow, but it is still slower than the 8gb card.
Does anyone have experience with Transcend 16gb cards? Do you think this is a card problem or a limitation of the U8800's SD interface?
Thanks in advance

Compare with AnTuTu and then see the speed of the transfer of the microSDs with a pc. If the Transcend 16gb card is slowly in both cases, the problem isn't of the U8800
Thanks Daniele11, I will try that, but the last time I tried to run a benchmark with AnTuTu and the 16gb card it just seemed to have died...
But I'll try it anyway... :fingers-crossed:

Even my 8 GB class 10 card sucks at file transferring and I don't know why
I am looking to get a microSD for storing my music and photos to use on my note 4. I heard that microSD cards can slow down the phone's performance, can you share your experiences with the microSD and note 4 lag? Thanks
I'm using a 64gb microSD on my N4. I'm not sure on the lagging issue coming from the use of microSD or what since been using the microSD at beginning of ownership. N4 upgraded to lollipop

i have been using it since i bought the device and havent had any problem about it.. it doesnt effect your general usage but it can make pics showing slower in gallery if you buy a slow card.
I am using 32GB class10 MicroSD card from beginning and never have issues.
Sent from my SM-N910H using Tapatalk
I did experience few delays when I used a class 6 microSD that I found in my old phone. Make sure you use at least class 10.
I'm using a Samsung 64Gb PRO - haven't noticed any impact on phone performance. I store all my photos and media on it, and even large 16MP images load instantly in QuickPic.
128 gb SanDisk class 10 here. No lag what so ever...

I've been using mine with a 32GB MicroSDHC Class 10 without a single problem.
Samsung 64gb card. No slowdowns due to it.

This is a bit of a loaded question.
Firstly, The speed and size of the memory card can impact the performance of the card. I use a 64GB Class 10 card and its around 90% full, i find that this does impact performance i do have lag when accessing certain folders.
The lag in my instance is caused with the fact i have over 3000 image files in folders/ subfolders and my app i use for gallery loves to thumbnail them all.
Games, and call recording etc result in next to no impact.
Scandisk 64gb class 10. Almost full, with a lot of music, pictures and documents. No lag at all.
i use a 32GB MicroSDHC Class 10 from transcend
It doesn't cause any lag but i'm testing the phone without it, suspecting it may cause overheating, even though probability is very weak
I have a 32gb Sony high speed I got on Amazon for ten bucks. Works great!
128gig here. Sandisk.
32GB class 10 since day one. Never had any lag.
I've been using a 32GB Sandisk MicroSDCard in my N910C for over 2 weeks now and I haven't noticed any lag at all. I mainly use my microSDCard for media, documents and photo storage. That way I don't have to worry about my N910C's internal memory running out.
128Gb Samsung Card
I'm using a 64GB class 10 Sandisk ExtremePro that I bought on sale and had used in my previous phone- I've tried the phone without the card and the lag is still there so I'm assuming the card isn't the factor. I'm on lollipop btw.
128 gb Samsung class 10 here...
im using a Viking Man 64 GB Class10 UHS1 U3 microsd card
Whats going on here? And SD card I have tried is to slow. OK I had class 6 etc so I understand that, but went out today and bought a Samsung EVO 48MB/S UHS-I Class 10 and guess what? Its still to slow
the write speed on that card will be really slow 10MB/s maybe, you need a U3 card if you want fast writes as well as reads.
TBH i have put bog standard class 10 cards in my kids second gen Moto Gs as adopted storage and they've not moaned about the phones going slow at all.

What do you mean with to slow? You mean its not suited to use as internal memory or just slow when browsing your sdcard files?
Marshmallow tells you if it is too slow or not when you use adopted storage, i have seen the same message for U3 cards though so i personally just ignore it and crack on.
Wrong article.
Problem might not be the card but the phone memory controller itself could be a bit slow

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
