best Micro SD card for adoptable storage? so the app don't lag or freeze

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!

Why would anyone use adoptable storage?
From what I've read, it's terrible.
Beats me as well.
Just wanted to recommend a decent SD card for the young man.

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.
Can anyone tell me what brand/type/speed etc. micro sd card will work in the Motorola G4 when used as internal storage?

I'm using a Sandisk Extreme plus 32gb card and have never noticed a slowdown while using it as internal memory. I was previously using it on my old 3rd gen Moto and now have it in my G4. I picked it up at Best Buy on sale for about $24 US. I really don't need to use it as internal now but I wanted to try it that way. I may eventually format it as media but for now it's being used as internal and working great.

I've been using the PNY Elite card. It's cheap (32GB for less than $10) and the read/write speeds are great. No issues on my Moto g4 or GoPro
This is the card --> http://amzn.to/2beqqvZ
I have a standard Samsung class 10 16gb with no issues
Now Using a Sandisk extreme 32gb U3 as previous Kingston 32 GB Micro SDHC UHS-I Speed Class 3 U3?*was reported as too slow for Internal use
Samsung 64GB EVO Plus
Awesome random read and write for use as internal, with great sequential for those videos and large pictures.

Added: I am still using it as external in marshmallow however, I don't see a need for internal as 32gb is PLENTY for the apps I use.
I know it says that it's limited to 128gb, but has anyone been successful with a 200gb card?

i had an xperia play which said it would support up to 32GB. put in a 64 GB card and it worked. very likely it's the same case with the A7.
I have the samsung note pro 12.2 and it says its limited to 64gb microsd, popped in a 256 gb and it works perfectly. You should try it, most likely would work!
EDIT: googled around, and found that 128 gb cards use the SDXC technology, same as the 200 gb cards, so it should work! SDXC can theoritically go up to 2TB So we are covered.

Yes. I use the 200gb SanDisk card that I got from my v10 promotion and it works just fine.

I have a 64GB Silicon Power Superior Pro UHS3 in mine, it seems to working quite nicely so far. I've had a lot of SD cards go back, so I really hope this one lasts a little longer. I have a Mixza Ocean Series 128gb on its way, really hope that one works!

Adoptable storage on or off?
I never use adoptable storage now. I figured that may be the cause of death of a couple cards I had. I just use it for music a yeah.

I'm also using a 16gb sd card on my xt1609 as well.
Working fine for me. Not using adoptable storage as I think it slows the phone down.
I'm using 32gb working perfectly for me not using adoptable storage.
It's been almost a month now and I can say my 128gb Mixza shark is still working nicely. Hopefully I didn't just jinx it.

I have been thinking about getting the Motorola G5 Plus but I want to USE a 256GB microsd card, instead of a 128GB microsd card.
But on the Official Moto G5 Plus website, it says that Motorola G5 Plus microSd card slot ONLY SUPPORTS 128GB microsd cards. So how do I know that when I get the Motorola G5 Plus, that it will support 256GB microsd cards?
Anybody that is in the same boat as me, please tell me any suggestions that you have made. I'm currently in the United States. So the Moto G5 Plus is the only official phone available in the G series

What's the doubt? Moto clearly says that the limit is 128... I don't get your question

I use a 200gb card in a moto e whose limit says 128g, might even be 64, don't remember. Those aren't always hard and fast rules.

Well they officially support up to 128gb but you should be able to use a 256gb without any problems
Hi,
SD limits announced by manufacturers are completly useless... only two causes can make the limit:
- The filesystem used: Any SD card of 64GB or more is "pre-formatted" with exFAT. This is because this is a requiment enforced by the SD Consortium. Then, if the device doesn't support exFAT, they announce supporting only 32GB in SD. But if you reformat the card with FAT32, then you can use 64,128 or more.
- The SD standard supported: original SD has a limit of 4GB, SDHC has a 32GB limit, and SDXC has a limit of 2TB (at time, no card with 2TB exists). Then if the device has support for SDXC (as the Moto G5 and the 99% of smartphones of today), ANY card be compatible... as all cards has less than 2TB.
That's all! The Linux kernel or the Android subsystem doesn't imposse any artifical limit to the SD slot.

True..but I think you are using more than 128Gb then your phone may get slow down.
I know I had a tablet one time that would not read anything over 64 gb so I formatted an 128 card into two 60gb partitions.
128 GB limit for Moto G5

Is it possible that your phone will only be able to access 128 GB of the total 200?

Moto G5 Plus, XT1687 with 256 GB Micro SD Card class 10, working for years no slow down. Based on the advice in this post I bought the card. Thank You so much!
