[Q] (Q) Best micro sd card for note 3?

I just purchased the Samsung 64gb class 10 sdxc pro micro sd card but I'm having transfer issues. Files are disappearingnd becoming corupted. I tried formatting but I'm getting the same thing. Movies won't play, but everything works fine on my Samsung 32gb class 4 UH-1. Just can't get it to work on my 64gb.

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.

Can you do a speed test on the pny card please. There's an app on the play store called a1 sd test I think that is pretty good. I saw that card on sale for $27 so I think I'm getting it

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.

I got 22read, and 13.9 write on my PNY that I bought for $27.

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!!

On my note 1, when the 64Gb sd cards were just launched, Samsung said too that only 32Gb ones works on this device.

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.

Any reason to buy the 64gb model?

I know sd cards are slower than internal RAM, but anything above 20GB or so is probably going to be media files anyway, so is there any real advantage to having 64gb onboard RAM instead of just getting the 32gb version and adding an sdcard?

I did. I think for the value and resale its worth it. I have a 64gb card, but things are just more snappy with onboard memory.

You won't run out of internal space for apps and their databases.
If you are spending $450, go the extra and get 64GB. YMMV.

It's not about the money. Amazon has 32gb models in stock right now but Moto is telling me I can't get a 64gb model until Oct. 2. If the ONLY difference is RAM capacity I may pull the trigger on the Amazon model.

32GB and 64GB models have the same amount of RAM, I don't know what you're blabbing about. You probably mean onboard storage and yes the only difference is more onboard storage, nothing more.

Got the 16gb with a 128gb scandisk card. When M gets released and we able to use the micro card without root to use the micro card as storage for apps,.... Awesome!

Do you plan on taking 4k video? Yes or no, there's your answer.

With this phone being unlocked, we could very well see dual booting. Roms will run better on internal memory.
And videos. My kids are 2 and 4 so we take a lot of videos.
And downloads in general (roms, etc). Most everything goes to internal storage.

This is exactly what I did I got the 128gb (SanDisk Ultra 128GB Ultra Micro SDXC UHS-I) from amazon and the 16gb from moto maker. I have the card, but not the phone yet .

Seems like it's a personal choice. If you want to 'get it now' go with the 32GB from Amazon. If you can wait (and want to) then it's another matter. I normally wait to see and don't jump at the first opportunity but to each their own.

Been taking 4K videos straight to my scandisk ultra plus card. No problem whatsoever.

I'm currently using a 64 GB MicroSDXC UHS-I Card from the relatively unknown manufacturer 'QUMOX'.
I was pleasantly surprised.Particularly with regard to the comparatively low cost.
In any case is the performance as every bit as good as the from SanDisk based on my experience.

I've looked up the actual price for the SDXC Card, which is ~€ 22 for 64 GB and just ~ € 28,50 for the 128 GB variation.Amazon has those on stock.
In the tech-section is as known man inferior products, but renowned manufacturers aren't a guarantee for a proper device!

Which Memory card?

So ordered the 10+ 512gb 5G (uk) version, was wondering if it would be worth my while to get a new memory card, or use the 64GB one I have had a few years?
What recommendations do you have for a new card, will it be faster etc?
thanks

I think I'll continue to use the one that came with my Note-8.

I'm going to add in the one I got for the note 7 pre-order. High speed sd not that big of a deal to me on a phone. Others may disagree

I use this card: https://amzn.to/300f7NM

Honest question, what would you need a memory card for with the 512gb version?

I agree its a lot of storage, but if the phone locks up and i have to hard reset, i will probaly lose everything. Thats why i prefer a memory card.

Yeah for sure ,, I have admittedly in the past fiddled around with ROMs and mods so it was really an issue then
I've even screwed up and formatted SD cards before lol UGH
But I definitely prefer to try to store things -- photos, documents, etc on an SD card (really hard to get used to not having that when trying/using pixel or OP devices)

Very understandable, I just use Google Photos to back them up. Anything else I have downloaded I just redownload.
Now I do prefer to use a SD card when I root a phone even though my OnePlus 7 Pro doesn't have one.
When I bought my S10+ I took one of the 128gb SD cards I use in my GoPro 7 black and popped it in (I'm 100% sure the speed of it is overkill, SanDisk Extreme PRO). I just checked and have 119.6 available...lol. The only thing on it is two old sms backups, I've since switched to backing them up to my Google Drive.
If you don't mind spending the money it's an amazing card. When I receive my Note 10+ I don't think I'm using a SD and my S10+ will be just my backup phone so the SD card will make it's way back to the GoPro.

Depends if your full or not.
Ive been using a 64gb i got from one of the samsug promo for a while then got a 128gb in another promo. So i use that, but its not even half full.

I've ordered the Samsung 512Gb Evo plus, mainly so I can move the 128Gb in my Note 9 currently to the Tab S6 when it arrives though.

I am maxed on on the 64GB Note 8... Do have a 256GB card in it though which is about 3/4 the way full... Preordered the Note 10+ 512Gb 5G - and SOOO much want to get the 1TB cards that just came out on the market... but smarter to just wait until the insane proces come down.... Guess I'll just have to sit tight and wait... LOL

Because Note 10 plus has UFS 3.0 I need to know if UFS memory cards will work in note 10 +.

Did some research. There are UFS Memory cards on the market but the Note 10+ does not support it, it only supports microsd cards up to 1tb.
The ufs storage is MUCH faster and uses less power, and those removable cards are used in Samsung Notebooks (note the one on sale on eBay, check the compatibility part of the description), but they have not caught on yet for widespread use and that is the main issue.
They should have offered a Note 10+ compatible with ufs cards as well!
This article although not very well written and 8 months old, is a somewhat good overview:

Speed ?

There's not much to be debating about external SD storage. Any higher quality microSD will do. I'm using the same 128GB San Disk Extreme as I had in my previous S10e with all the personal folders saved, like pictures, music etc... The only thing I did was to delete all the system remnants like Android related folders, Amazon music(it's proprietary-protected, it has to be reloaded from Amazon again) and that was it. My new N10+ has accepted that SD from S10s like it's own.

Not everyone is going to need the 512GB Evo Plus, but for those who might be interested in filming in 4k60fps for long duration it's practically a must. Just remember two years back a 128GB card was "Just plain unnecessary" but as the push for higher resolution in games, movies, and images continues the need for space to store them grows too. I grabbed a 512GB Evo Plus for $85 on Amazon, myself.
