[Q] Which Micro SD card class should I go with - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I'm looking at buying a 32 gig card, just not sure if I want to go back with a Class 4 card or should I look at a class 6 or class 10.... My Dell Streak recorded video was horrible, would sometimes crap out and come back during playback, audio in the video would get garbled & go away sometimes. Didn't know if this was due to the Streak itself or the class 4 PNY card I am using.
I do know that in my Ti2 camera going up to a class 6 or 10 card made a HUGE difference in write times, so I'm wondering if it would be the same in a droid phone like this....

Everything you will find online regarding class 4 vs 10 says go with the 10 when dealing with video. At the sale prices lately there isn't much reason not to. 30ish is what I just picked up one for (frys electronics)
I don't take enough video to notice

this one from Amazon is the best value that i could find on the net: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-SDHC-Class-Secure-Digital/dp/B0058GH2DY

The Sandisk Mobile Ultras are class 6 I think, and always test well against other brands higher rated cards. I got a few at Costco around Christmas for like 15.00 on sale (16 GB)
I have used other brands but always seem to come back to Sandisk.

ARTAQaf - Unfortunately that links to an SD Card (full size)... I need Micro SD card (as mentioned in the title) but still a nice find!
Planoman - good info.. wasn't sure about the Sandisk brand...

I ordered a Samsung 32 gig class 10 from buy.com it was 54.99
http://www.buy.com/pr/product.aspx?sku=225161194&sellerid=20451128

yeah I just saw that one at Tiger Direct for $52 (that's with shipping) so I'm gonna go that route. Hope it's a good card!!

Just got mine in the mail now I just need my note to put it in lol

microSDHC cards are old news and will fade away within the next few years. This is the way to go: http://www.sandisk.com/products/mobile1-memory-products/sandisk-ultra-microsdxc-card
I got one from amazon for $150 and it's worth every dime

It's the same card I was talking about 2 posts earlier, same card I have. It's not really class 6 - it's a well known fact SanDisk is very conservative and underrates their cards' performance. I have benchmarked this card and it does better than class 10 microSDHC on both, read and write.
Make sure to format it to FAT32 - if you try to use it with default extended partition formatting it comes with - your phone won't recognize it.

Definitely my next purchase

Just ordered my Samsung 32gig class 10 card from TigerDirect.... hopefully it'll be in at the same time the phone comes in... I'd go with the 64gig card, but too much money out the door at once for my budget. Plus prices will be down in a few months, I'll be looking then.

SanDisk Ultra 32gb
SanDisk Ultra 32gb microsdhc at bhphotovideo.com 58.95. Best name in cards at very reliable seller. Don't get crappy ones off EBay!! You might get a fake. BTW, these cards outperform most class 10s of other brands

yeah, I looked at it, too. SanDisk class 6 micro SDXC. Let me know if you try it how it works for you. I'm using a 16Gb class 10, and it works great. I've seen sketchy things about 32 Gb micros having occasional failed reads, so I'm hesitant to go up, but I would like to be able to move all my music onto a single card, so let me know. Thanks.
Mine gets here tomorrow, I'll post back if its good or not
I've really considered upgrading if it does work well enough. I want to get my entire music collection on my phone without having to worry about storage. And this sounds perfect.

its great just format it in the phone, and you get about 61.2 GB after, and your good the write speed is around 9.5 mb/s and the read is 30-38 mb/s
Just formatted in the phone and came up as 59.46GB transferred all the stuff over now have 37GB available.

Personally 16GB is perfect for me. All my V0 MP3s can fit on that. I don't collect album and only my favorite songs.
personally I listen to flac files and they are frankly huge compared 10 mp3. I have 2 32 gig cards, maybe I should consider an upgrade.
CAUTION
While I do not really intend to go searching for the thread, an early adopter of the 64GB card initially thought it worked, and then it bottoms up pretty quick. Find the thread; but if he is correct DO NOT BUY THIS CARD FOR THE REZOUND.

Not exactly sure if this is the same one that Bestbuy has but I bought the SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC Class 6 Memory Card for my Rezound and haven't had any issues (about a month old now). I formatted it on the computer then the phone. It is very expensive but definitely worth it in the end. Before the 64 I used my 32 GB microSD that came with the Thunderbolt without issue. Up to now I haven't had any adverse effects.

I have been running a Samsung 32gb class 10 card in my Rezound since I set it up and have no issues. I thought about trying the upgrade to 64 but don't think that I would really be able to gain much extra use out of the storage. If the price drops though I am sure that I will test it out.

Yes, this MicroSD Class 10 card actually lives up to it's speed. Look at the 50+ reviews it has. 4/5 star rating.

You know I would be mad at this G. Skill 32GB Micro SD but I got it on sale. Original price of $29.99 and had a promo code on May 13 to get an extra $8 off. Add free two day shipping to that and it's just a sweet deal.
I'm disappointed in speeds but for around $22 it was a steal.
P.S. I know more read/write with an SD card is good, but what for actually? I mean this in all honesty. I have no clue. I can access my songs and apps in less than a second upon touch. Boot time is maybe faster? Someone enlighten me.

It allows you to get stuff done quicker. Burst mode picture will probably be higher quality. The big one for me (and the main reason why I bought a class 10 for the first time) is that it will allow you write to the card faster and ultimately allow you to take a higher resolution video. Might help a little with pictures too in burst mode.
Sorry for going a bit off topic but this is a little of my recent background:
I am a firefighter and I just bought a helmet camera. Since it has 0 internal storage, I am forced to buy an sd card. I was talking to the technology committee (which I am a part of) and they agreed that I should get a class 10 card so I can take high resolution videos of us training and doing actual firefighting. Best part is, I got the station to pay for 2 . After training or whatever, I can take the card out and plug it into my Transformer Prime and I can stream it over the TV.
For the average Joe, a class 10 might not be all that exciting. I haven't gotten one before because I have never felt the need to get one.
I also just got the Gskill card, just no phone to stick it in (grrrrrrr)
Using h2testw on my computer, I got 9.5-10.6 MB/s sequential write speed, and 17ish MB/s read speeds.
Good enough for me.

i believe the card he is referring to is class 10 uhs-1. thats a pretty great deal seeing as i got the class 6 uhs-1 for 40.. i didn't look hard though..
wondering though, card states up to 30MB/s.. is that read time only? will this still well outperform a class 6 uhs-1 for capturing video or does anyone know if both cards are adequate/overkill?
My order is already in packaging. Oh well. I probably would have went with the ADATA anyways since the reviews are generally good.
I bought this card a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier! If you want a true test of the card speed you can not use the phone, use your pc. I recommend using ATTO disk benchmark. I consistently get 11.9 write and 20.1 read. class 10 and then some!

Recommendation: fastest and most stable Micro SD card?

I am looking for recommendation for a 32Gb Micro SD card that is the fastest and most stable for use in the AT&T Note.
Currently I have the following but they're not good:
- Kingston 8GB Class 6: REALLY slow - tansfer rate below 1 Mbps
- Transcend 32GB Class 4: slow - transfer rate about 2-3 Mbps
Both were bought from Amazon and as you can see, even a Class 6 MicroSD can have lower performance than Class 4, depending on the manufacturer.
You can check your MicroSD card speed using this tool from Google Play. The screenshot from that app shows some insane card speed, as shown below:

These are the same SD card. A Polaroid class 10 that was on sale the other day. This is the link for the card.

Thanks all for the recommendation and the screenshot!
Looks like Samsung and Polaroid CLASS 10 is the way to go. I will research the price and buy on of these.
By the way, a friend of mine recommended the NEW Sandisk SDXC. They seems to be more expensive, but if the performance is similar to regular MicroSD, what will be the advantage?
I think most any class 10 will provide similar results. There are some that guarantee certain speeds, and they may be better performers, but you'll often pay a bit more. The class refers to the speed, most manufacturers will report their best case scenarios to qualify for a higher class rating. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating So you'll find some class 10's do out perform others and such.
SDXC just refers to the capacity the cards can support. I believe SDXC supports up to 2tb vs SDHC is up to 32gb. (there are other technical factors too)
Just be sure that it is indeed a MicroSD card, and not just a normal SD card.
Got mine @ buy.com website -
32GB , Class 6 for $19.90 + free ship ( came via post)
( dont remember which supplier )
Just used the above testing ( was curious)
Got speeds = write = 10.3 reading = 14.4
So gota be worth it > not sure 64Gb (1$ per GB)is worth the money @ moment

Not sure if anyone is still looking at this thread, but I just did this test on my phone with my 32gig Samsung Essential MicroSD card. I've owned it for a couple months now and as far as I can tell it's been rock solid.
Read speed was 9.7mbps
Wtite speed was 22.4mbps
Best part, it was only like $30 on NewEgg. Great deal for a class 10 card.
Not to further complicate things. There is another notable rating
Class 10 UHS-1
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-micro...DSDQUA-032G-U46A/dp/B007XZM6VG/ref=pd_cp_pc_1
Class 10 SDHC
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Mobil...51467765&sr=1-3&keywords=class+10+micro+sd+64
Pay close attention to the little symbol that indicates its rating. Don't be fooled by a lower value. The shape around it indicates a type.
So whats the deal? I have an answer for you. This ever confusing class and rating jargon can best be cleared up from the horses mouth.
Behold the SD Association and its wonderfully CLEAR explanation.
Yup its real. They are responsible for a great many things in the memory world. They even have provided all of us with the best SD format tool we can get our hands on for free. Because they know there SD stuff that's why!
So back to the ratings. I personally have not ever tested a UHS class SD in our device or any other phone for that matter. Based on this quote "UHS (Ultra High Speed), the fastest performance category available today, defines bus-interface speeds up to 312 Megabytes per second for greater device performance. It is available on SDXC and SDHC memory cards and devices." I would love to know if anyone has successfully used one.
Weeeeellllll I ordered a 64gig UHS-1 from Sandisk.

Careful with the SanDisk UH devices... My 32gb SanDisk UH-1, bought from amazon and in retail packaging, was a pain in my Note from day one. The problem got worse over time... at first i thought it was just JB roms, not hardware. It constantly caused reboots, would unmount itself, and was slow, no matter which ROM was installed. After 3 months, it died last week... it mounts/dismounts every second it seem, even in my Mac or PC. Put in for an RMA with SanDisk... we'll see how that goes.

I use a Silicon Power 32GB Class 10 (SP032GBSTH010V10-SP)
It got 13.3 write /20 read
I'm consistently getting 8 MB/s Write and 35 MB/s Read in SD Tools. That read speed seems crazy-high for such an old card. I'm using a Class 6 A-Data card that I originally bought for my HTC Magic over 3 years ago. Not sure if it's random or sequential, though. I imagine that random is much more important wrt apparent speed browsing through things like photo albums and music folders.
EDIT: haha, OK so apparently you have to go into the root of your external SD card to get actual results. 8/18 on the AData

The best Sd card, under say £50 ? pleease. :)

hi guys, so far ive only done a quick e-bay search and came across the (San disk 64GB Mobile Ultra Class 10 UHS-I Micro SD SDXC Memory Card)
Its going for £45. i will go up to £50 if it can beat that. as in better for my HTC EVO 3D, it will be kept standard most likely and used for music, internet and movies. with camera used and camcorder often too.
i stupidly bought/bid/won a no brand 32 GB for £10. it worked fine till about 6 hours later and it doesn't recognise it at all, and its not been switched off or settings messed with. it works with no adaptors in the PC/laptops either.
so its not the phone, must be the card. any ideas ?
cheers
Please excuse the mistakes, i blame this cloudy cider i be drinkin' yarr.
The card your looking at seems nice. At least it's name brand this time. :thumbup:
The 3d officially supports up to 32GB, but people report running the 64GB ones with no issues. I'd get it.

Not sure which SanDisk card you are looking at but this one on amazon.uk seems to be compatible with the Evo 3D based on the second review on the US Amazon site.
I don't know how that compares to your eBay option, but I've heard some horror stories about people getting fake high capacity cards from eBay sellers that actually have much lower capacity, and I generally get what I'm expecting from Amazon.
I've read other places that currently Android doesn't really take advantage of anything higher than a class 6 card, but even if that's true you will be prepared for the future.

Hi yes sandisk or kingston make very good quality sd cards for an affordable price you should also go for class 6 for faster read and write speeds
They should most definitely under 50 euros if you buy online
Sent from me in my cardboard box
Well i made the plunge and got myself one.
yeah the 64GB does work, i just need to format it as it comes as factory formatted exFAT and i need to reform to NTFS.
sorted
Infact the one i have ordered is specific for android so i presume it has an app on the card which means i dont need to format it and change it.
here it is in its ;

I work in a retail store and one thing i noticed is that SD Card prices have gone down. You can Pick up a 32GB class 10 sandisk for £30. Its what i'm using and it's much faster compared to the class 4 8GB i originally got with the phone.

I am using ADATA 64gb class 10. I got for good price on Newegg $48. Newegg sent me a coupon for subscribing. This is only a few weeks old and no problems.
I have 3 ADATA 32gb class 10, that have been working well for a few years. Since these had a good track record I went for the 64gb.

Don't ever get patriot.
Had a patriot SSD = failed after a year.
Had a patriot MicroSD = failed after a year, with photos on it! Was able to recover them and did a slow format only to have it be unrecognized a few days later...
Sandisk now with a lifetime warranty

Thanks for posting.
Screw Patriot memory. At work we bought about 100 for development, and although we were hard on them, almost every one failed within a couple of months. Switched to SanDisk and everything was fine. Personally (not work), almost every Patriot brand product I've ever owned (RAM and SD) has croaked. Their warranty is solid, when something is under it they have *zero* problems replacing a product and doing it quickly, but simply not worth thee downtime.

Don't buy this card yet! (64GB)
I'm having damaged sd card problem (like a batch of Ultra with Note 2 and S3) with this card,
and I've already got an replacement from SanDisk and showing the same issue.
I'm contacting them and SanDisk seems to be working on this problem.

Got SanDisk Ultra microSDXC and works very well for me. No issues so far.
I'm using the Sandisk 64gb ultra, which I've used for about a year in my Note 2. I have the Sandisk extreme 64gb on order since I'd like to take advantage of the usb 3.0. I transfer movies a lot to my phone, so the extreme should be twice as fast.
Same here, im debatin if I should wait for the 128gb micro sdxc or just buy a 128gb sdcard and buy one of those microsd to sdcard adapters.
Sent from my note 2 ya bish!
Problem is here i'm not sure if the Note 3 can even take advantage of the Extreme cards. I swear I read somewhere that they're only a few more MB/s faster than Ultras in the S4. HUGE speed difference using a USB card reader though.

How do you get files onto the sd card? Can you directly transfer to it when it's plugged into you note?

anyone notice overheating issues when using a Sandisk Ultra micro SD 64GB card? Mine overheats when the card is mounted but returns to normal temps when I unmount the card and remove it completely from the phone. I am not sure why this happens.
