Recommendation for SD Card - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Can someone recommend me for a good SD card. I am looking for 32 GB or 64GB.

I found a great deal on a Samsung 32GB class 10 for $28. It was through slickdeals, just keep your eyes peeled for a good deal and jump on it. I've heard of lots of people getting the SanDisk 64gb sdxc card for $50-60. If you can wait, be patient and a great deal will happen.

What proc said. Be on the look out on Slickdeals and you'll find what you want for the price you're willing to pay.
I got a Kingston 32gb class 10 for $17.99 on an Amazon Gold deal. :good:

Not a reccomendation per se, but be wary of any great deal on a SD card that is an off brand. Better off spending a little more and getting a quality one.

I would recommend this http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...anDisk+Ultra+microSDXC+class+10&condition=new the SanDisk Ultra 64 SDXC class 10, and flonker is right its a lot better to buy quality and to reap the benefits of reliability and performance then save a few bucks here and their and have an SD card that becomes a nightmare when it fails on you.

my two cents...
Here's the card I bought and have been using for a little over a week now. Formatted it first thing after putting it in my phone and its been very fast and reliable the (admittedly short) time I've had it.
OK XDA won't let me post outside links but this ("G.SKILL 32GB Micro SDHC Flash Card w/ SD Adapter Model FF-TSDG32GA-C10") is $27.99 over at Newegg.
32GB Class 10

I have to say the best Sd card you can get is a Sandisk. I just got mine from Amazon. I paid $70 for a 64gb class 10. make sure to look for the U with the number 1 inside the U. that indicates class 10. Those cards are the best for these android phones. also look for the deal I got cuz it changes daily.. when I bought it it was priced out at $69.89, the other day same seller change price to $89.69. not sure what it is today.

Good point. I originally bought a Sandisk from Amazon and it was a fake. Even Amazon said they can't tell the difference.

Any 32gb class 10 card I can trust?

Been getting mixed reviews and different pricings but I just can't seem to find a good card. Do you guys have any suggestions? Been caught up between the lexar, adata, and pny. I also heard that class 4 are sometimes faster. I just want a good card with the most memory (cause some cards come with like 28gb instead of the full 32gb), good read/write speed, lifetime warranty, at a ok price point. Can you guys help?

Patriot for sure! The rest are not even close. Make sure you format the card in the phone first thing..

Sandisk is the best card you can get. All manufacturer or 90% use them due to proven reliability and minimal failure rate. I have a topram 16g class 10 and it works very well...but wish I would have bought the sandisk

for price and reliability, I agree, patriot is a good card. for about 75-80 dollars I think its worth it. until sandisk makes one I wouldn't pay the higher prices for any of the other ones. but I could only imagine if sandisk did make one it would probably be $150!

the problem is sandisk doesn't make a class 10, I think the highest they make is a class 6. but I hear their class 6 is just as good as others class 10 cards.

I have Patriot 32GB Class 10 for my phone, it's been flawless. I only buy SanDisk and Patriot. They are the most reliable. I've been buying flash memory since DSLR camera's came out. Not one failure in a decade. I have ~50 flash cards of various styles, speeds and capacities for my cameras. They are almost all SanDisk with several Patriot.

surprisingly, it is 12MB/s in writing and 20MB/s in reading. fast? yeah.. i think..
comes with a mini microSD card reader (USB 2.0)
here is the link for the site
http://www.teamgroup.com.tw/filterable_product/tabs_detail/data/en/10/542/zfKsFi.html
*sorry for my bad English*
Class 10 means that the writing speed must be a least 10 MB/s, so nothing surprising if it's higher.

well, it is better than my older microSD card which claims to be a class 10 card, and writes at 6MB/s
What app are you using to confirm the write speed?

Thanks. I can't believe there are people giving that app a low score because they don't know its purpose.
Thanks, its good to know what cards are backing their claims,
Yours seems comparable to the "TOPRAM" 32gb class 10 I have been using, they run around $60 on amazon & ebay, and I got just about the same scores using it, and its been very reliable.

This is the one I got http://www.ebay.com/itm/320868452986
Came with Micro USB reader. Card works great, top rated seller says it isn't a knock off but who really knows for sure but the card is pretty zippy.
You can get a Team 32GB class10 card for $23.99 for the next two days on NewEgg. You need to use the code EMCNDNE93 at checkout.

I have had some trouble with faked names on substandard SD cards.
This one from Amazon DIRECT..(not third party merchant) works great. The transfer speed to/from EvoLTE is faster than the nifty little dongle they give you.

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.

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.

Why the need for such speeds in a phone? Other than moving a bunch of music onto the card the first time, faster read and write speeds are basically going to go unnoticed IMHO.
You can get slower 64gb cards for a lot less money. For example..... http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Memor...&qid=1417049525&sr=1-2&keywords=64gb+micro+sd

Yeah... Maybe you don't have a 64 GB card, but once you get into these speeds it feels the same as the internal memory with much less lag.
Seriously, your card offer is only $10 cheaper than when I bought mine on special. And the one I pull up is over $100. You're ****ty math makes no sense.

Actually I do have a 64gb card and the only time I've seen a slow down or had to wait on the card was when I first transferred a lot of music to my card.
The card you linked to is priced at $83 and has been since the first time I looked at it. Perhaps it was cheaper initially, but you didn't list a price on your initial post. $83 for a 64gb card to go in a phone is WAY too much money IMHO.
I see the disconnect now. I bought the card for $37. Still, with all the extra media and galleries the load time is so smooth.
