Supported micro SD speeds? - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've ordered the Samsung micro SD card Pro plus 64GB. It's Samsungs flagship model. This card supports read speeds up to 95MB/s and write speeds up to 90MB/s. But judging by my results I'm not getting near those speeds.

So what speeds are supported by the Z5C?
What cards are you guys using and what speeds are you getting with "A1 SD Bench" app?

I tried today a Transcend Ultimate 64GB 633x with Up to 95MBs Read and 85MB/s write.
I got 42,91MB/s Read and 28,65MB/s Write... quiet bad in my opinion

I have the same Samsung Pro+ 64gb card and I am not getting anywhere near as advertised either. My read/write speeds are similar to yours.

Do you think this would be due to only 2gb of RAM?

Those speed have nothing to do with RAM. If I were to make an educated guess, the speed depends on the microSD-Card reader and/or the chipset.

I think it's a bit over-simplified to talk about microsdxc speeds without any further qualifications. The manufacturer-advertised speeds are only achievable under ideal conditions (sequential as opposed to random access, specific file size etc.) If the benchmark you're running is different from the one the manufacturer ran, you may measure much lower speeds.
I'm not saying I'm positive the SoC/SD card reader in the Z5C isn't the bottleneck, I'm not sure. My point is that micoSDXC cards are much slower than advertised in real-world scenarios (and realistic benchmarks), even when using them via a super-fast card reader such as a Kingston USB 3.0 FCR-HS4 and a high-endish desktop PC.

I can support dafie's scepsis. My last mircoSD class10 card from Transcend had advertised Speeds of 60mb/s read and 20mb/s write, but actually performed only about 50mb/s read (which is okay to me) and 9-11 mb/s write (which I find very lackluster). I tested this on several card readers (Xperia Z3C, Macbook Air, USB2.0-Adapter on a Windows PC).
@Mythos123 So if you want to know wether the limitation lies within the phone or the sd card I suggest you test it on an integrated sd card reader on a modern laptop or a dedicated usb 3.0 card reader at any decent pc.

Unfortunately my laptop is really old, so I can't compare speeds.
By the power of Sony Xperia Z5 Compact

This is disconcerting because if you look through the amazon-reviews you will also find benchmarks made on android which confirm the speeds that are advertised.
I'm currently using an older 128GB card with only 30MBs/10MBs and was considering an update, but i guess i'm less motivated to do so now.

Did you try with another software?
I've an old "SanDisk ULTRA 64GB" and the results (with that app) are:
Read: 36.17MB/s
Write: 12.15MB/s
I'd like a faster SD capable of write at 70MB/s+ isn't that possible in the Z5 Compact? (If I move games, like Hearthstone from Internal Memory to External Memory they are really slow).

@Mythos123
I just bought one Samsung Pro+ 32GB..
Write speed can't pass 21MB/s with that bench app.
I think we have a very slow card reader or some kind of bug. (Yours write a 36MB/s at least).
EDIT:
- I formated the 32GB SD from FAT32 to exFAT (because Android formatted it as FAT32).
- If I do this test (with this app) many times in a row (using the quick test), write speed raises up to 35-37MB/s, so I think sdcards tests don't work fine at the moment, and...37MB/s is the peak for our card reader.+
- The sequential write speed using USB cable (and USB 3.0 port just in case is above 30MB/s and supported by the Xperia) is 20MB/s approximately. (Copied a .MKV of 15700MB in 13.5 minutes).
So, in summary:
Max sequential write speed achieved with an app: 37MB/s
Max sequential write speed achieved with USB and MTP protocol: 20MB/s.

Such a pitty, Smart phones are in many ways still way way behind desktop and laptop solutions..

I suppose to really compare, you'd have to find a benchmark test on an review. Then use the exact same software and test it on the Sony. Repeating the test as closely as you can.
I've got a 64gb card now (samsung pro) also. I've been thinking about upgrading to a 128GB or 200GB. Has anyone tried getting a larger card? or are those all slower. (I want to carry a copy of all my photos around with me rather than use up precious data whenever I want to look at one)

All Z1 to Z5 limited to 40MB read/write by the card reader chip.

There's really no use for getting fastest cards. They will all be limited by the phone speed

So based on this, what's the most value for money card to get?
EDIT: I mean, I'm reading some information online about needing a UHS-I "U3" class card for 4k video recording. With a 40MB/S read/write limit, isn't it going to be impossible even if we use a "U3" card?

Sandisk Extreme microSD(mid class), no need Extreme Pro(high-end). If you want Samsung, you will still to buy EVO Pro as the entry level of EVO Plus got only 20MB/s write. Samsung and Toshiba seems no medium classes.

I previously own m4 aqua, and i have sandisk extreme
I got 42MB/s read and 36MB/s write on m4 aqua
The card is advertised as 60MB/s read and 40MB/s write speed and displays the UHS Speed Class 3 (U3) designation
I never do benchmark again after switch to z5 compact, but I think the result will be same

I'm about to go from the Samsung 64 up to 200gb. They're on sale right now for $80.write speeds never really bother me like hitting the size limit does lol

P.S. when you put 50+GB of photos on a phone, the thumbnails really slow it down. Putting them in a hidden system folder (.nameoffolder) really helps with not lagging the device and gallery/camera down!

Video recording is using Mbit while sdcard is using MByte .... 40MB/s x 8 = 320Mbit
There is no any consumer level of DSLR/phone reached [email protected] yet but a higher speed card is always help because probably it takes a shorter time to writing data and hence, reduced heat and save battery. Take a example, 200MB for a 20MB/s card spend 10s while only 5s needed for a 40MB/s card and you saved battery for that 5 seconds and generated smaller heat as well.

Modern entry level card got a much faster speed usually has 15~20MB/s write and very valuable. In the old day slow card is real slow with just 4~8MB/s writing speed.

Best microSD card for Amaze's HD video recording?

Hey All,
Happy new year!
Anyone got a really good 32GB microSD card that can handle the HD recording?
I recorded a video on a class 4 card and was getting some good pixelations. I've been doing some reading, and it seems different brands sometimes don't work well with Androids or that transfer speeds to/from PC are good but writing speed is lower than as advertised.
Cheers!
Happy new year to you too

I know you said you were looking for a 32gb but AmazonBasics has a 16gb Class 10 for a decent price.
You just need a Class 6 or higher to be honest.

Ok, had a read through the other 2 threads that never popped up in my initial thread search...and they, like the PNY sd card thread that I'd already read, don't talk specifically about an SD card for HD video recording. Those threads are concerned with SD cards for basic file storage and transfer.
SD card quality makes a difference when it comes to writing the larger amounts of data processed while the HD cam is processing the images...the card needs to be fast enough to write that data or else you'll get the choppy, pixelated videos like I'm getting with my class 4 Lexar 16GB card.
nguyendqh, thanks. Ideally need a 32 GB card though...use my phone a lot for video lectures/animations and as my main point and shoot camera.
Still appreciate any good user experiences out there...
why is the microsd card important for video/photo?? i mean will there be a quality difference between a class 10 and a class 1/2?

If you really need speed then I would suggest splurging and just getting a class 9 and up.
For everyone else I think any speed is fine

Or you can just save in the internal SD and you won't lose quality
I Posted this in another forum but I think it belongs here more, for those of you who think higher class SD cards are better at video recording , class 2 is sufficient for the amaze.

anything over class 4 sacrafices random read/write speeds...meaning, just to write faster the data is more fragmented. Over time, the speed becomes slower and the table used to keep track of data must access parts of the fragments that are free...this reduces performance in higher class cards...if you look at Sandisk they their class two performs way above the minimum write speed, almost double...I always buy sandisk...nothing else...their quality is unmatched...they are the pioneers...A class 4 or class 6 sandisk would outperform many of the class 10's that people are buying right now.
Sometimes as Binary's card has, they lose integrity because of this reason...the index becomes messed up and the data becomes lost eaiser in higher class SD cards and lower quality SD cards...I believe Sandisk tries to minimize this even in their higher speed cards...

If you guys take a look at the bitrate of the 1080p video and also add the audio bit rate it doesn't even come close to being 2 MB/s write speed which is a class 2 SD card...the highest bitrate for video I got was 11182 (kilobits per second) = 1.36499023 megabytes per second...add the 127kbps of sound and you barely have 1.4 MB/s write speed needed for the HD video recorded by our amaze...hope this clears things up.

Thanks for that, Seansk. I had a read on perhaps the same thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1150369. So, I'm guessing that Random Write Speed is more important than Sequential Write Speed for video recording. Or is it?
From ehow: "Crystal Disk Mark will measure the sequential writing speed, as well as random writing speeds. For most purposes, the sequential writing speed is the number you are looking for, so you can save some time by just running that test. The random tests are only important if you plan on writing a lot of tiny files."
I'm trying to piece together the jargon to figure out what's what...and which answer is the truth. Here's conflicting opinions on class # for HD vid shooting...
"Class 10 is better for transferring data or for users who shoot a lot of high res video and pictures. Class 4 or 2 is better for general use where you have a ton of apps and data cached on the SD card. So, really, if you don't shoot much video or photos, you'll never really have a problem with the Class 2 card. I would define a lot of video/photos as more than 1 video or 10 pictures a day. Basically where you replace you camera with your phone kind of situation. Most users should stick with lower class cards since they don't fall into that category."
another says...
"Higher the class,the lower it gets with random speeds and may be , lower performance when used in cell phones.
Hence the reccomendation to use class4 cards for large size cards like 32gb.
This might change in future when they find ways to improve the random speeds.
On the other higher class cards are good for normal data transfer like bunch of music or movies from the pc to card or vice verssa"

No, If you have a lower speed SD card it will write data more sequentially...think of it as a rectangle that gets filled up from left to right...lower speeds fill up the rectangle from left to right and in some instances jump around to write data on the middle end ect....higher speeds write data every where all at the same time...they don't have time to write it sequentially, they have to be fast...so they are fragmented more, than a slower speed sd carsd...there's also an index where it tells the card where in the rectangle a certain data is stored. something that is wrote sequantially will be easier to access and and have faster read speeds. Its kinda like when a hard drive is defragmented, if you read about fragmented hard drive you will sorta get the point.
so a slower sd card would write data more like this (more sequentially) and have a faster random read write speed:

OK, I think I've found an answer that seems logical and satisfies me:
"...the class system is indeed the minimum writing speed, but the story is a bit more complex. For cameras, I'd look at the sequential write speed (especially for video), and writing smaller files in sequence.
Random write speeds also depend on the memory controller, and are not a general-use scenario for photographers (your camera doesn't place pictures all over the card, it just starts at the beginning of the memory space)."
So sequential write speed seems to be the more important factor.

The distinction is very important in traditional disk-based systems, where each disk seek will take around 10ms. Sequentially writing data to that same disk takes about 30ms per MB. So if you sequentially write 100MB of data to a disk, it will take around 3 seconds. But if you do 100 random writes of 1MB each, that will take a total of 4 seconds (3 seconds for the actual writing, and 10ms*100 == 1 second for all the seeking).

YES that is correct, but remember you put other things on your SD card too like small files like apks, backups etc...so you need a good balance of both!!!! a class 2 has a minimum random read/write speed of 2 MB/s which is more than what our camera records at anyways... The sequential speed is usually faster maybe 5 or 6MB/s which is WAAAAAAAAAY more than what we need, for writing movies on our phones even at 1080p. on the other hand video cameras might write at a much higher bitrate than our phone and might need a faster SD card which is better at writing sequentially

Samsung new UHS-1 series microSD for LTE phones

Samsung's memory cards were updated late Wednesday with large-scale production one of the world's fastest microSD cards. The new 16GB microSDHC card runs at the same UHS-1 (Ultra High Speed-1) spec normally used for the latest full-size SD cards, giving it performance that would previously have been reserved for pro memory for DSLRs and video cameras. Sequential read speeds peak at about 80MB per second, or roughly four times the 21MB of regular microSD cards.
The storage is ostensibly meant for LTE-capable smartphones and tablets, where flash memory speed could bottleneck the connection. It should nonetheless be useful for cameras that take microSD storage and support UHS-1. Samsung reached the density through a combination of its more recent 20-nanometer manufacturing process to build 64-gigabit (8GB) chip layers as well as a toggle DDR2 interface that can saturate the newly available bandwidth.
Release schedules and prices weren't given out, although mass production usually precedes a launch within a few months or less.

me too kasanRio me tooooo *insert quiet yet evil laugh*
agent2702 I think they really will be much faster 20nm tech is like ssd or some ishh isn't it .. 80mb/sec is pretty nice
I honestly wouldn't need anything larger than 16 and I actually like when my gb of my card matches my phone's internal storage for a total "nice round number"
doubt I would ever record a movie bigger than that not with my phone anyways
That's great... I've seen the UHS-I technology in action on DSLRs and it's great. Makes a huge difference if fluid 720p recordings.
That said, UHS-I cards require UHS-I capable readers. Outside of DSLR cameras, very few devices have UHS-I capable readers, and such readers are rare even on PCs.
If you put in a UHS-I into a non-UHS-I capable reader, then it defaults to a lower speed. I had this discussion earlier when pursuing a Sandisk SD Card that had a UHS-I rating as a Readyboost card for my friend's netbook. Support said that since the netbook didn't have a UHS-I reader, the card speed didn't default to Class 10, but to class 6. So far, I believe this varies from card to card.
To sum this up, do we know if the Samsung Note has a UHS-I capable reader? As far as I know, this hasn't been advertised as a feature. Further, I'd surmise that since I haven't heard of people advertising software updates for their readers upgrading to UHS-I, I imagine readers need different hardware to be UHS-I capable.

I believe they are just calling them UHS class but all new tech based on the article . just stating that they are the equiv of digi cam cards speed and performance wise but for phones ..
@shoobie:
I appreciate the article, but, I'm going to attempt to clarify on what's required for UHS-I cards. Oh, sidenote, I didn't take enough time to look at the picture to note that the cards default to class 10, which is good .
Well, what they're saying is that UHS-I hasn't been effectively implemented into the microSDHC form factor yet, only the SDHC, as DSLRs and the like use SDHC cards or CF Cards (Since DSLRs often have enough room for a larger card reader, since you often lose performance and/or increase the price dramatically when you miniaturize components).
For UHS-I to work, according to the SD Part 1 Physical Layer Simplified Specification Version 3.01, it requires that both the host device and the card be UHS compliant. Summarizing off section 3.9.4... essentially in the past, host devices communicated with the SD card via 3.3 Volt signaling. UHS uses a special 1.8V signaling at a higher speed to communicate with UHS compatible cards.
Now, I'm no engineer, and I haven't gone through the document thoroughly enough, but as far as I can tell, it's not a soft update for the card reader, but a hardware update (or basically a new reader is needed) to be UHS compatible. This theory comes from the fact that I haven't seen anyone announcing card reader updates or flashes that allow their readers to now read UHS-I cards.
The real question is: Did Samsung have the foresight to equip our Galaxy Notes with UHS compatible readers?
Otherwise, they're just setting these cards up for the next generation of phones that will definitely be UHS compatible.

Hope you don't mind my skepticism, but... after reading the post... it reads that "Samsung finally gsve me an answer, it is compatible. "... which doesn't really mean much. UHS-1 cards are compatible in older SD card readers, but said readers do not utilize the new higher speeds for the UHS-1 speed class.
Though, who knows, Samsung might... I'll try to contact them soon, though uh, who knows when I'll get a reply, anyone else want to give it a shot?
Remember, you don't want to ask if it's compatible, you want to ask if the reader is SD Card 3.0 compliant, and/or if it's a UHS-1 capable reader, and capable of reading UHS-1 cards are UHS-1 speeds.

Hello there,
After took my time to consider about what to buy and choiced the ZU, I am now looking at which MicroSD to put inside and got really attract by the sandisk extreme pro in 32Gb. In term of perf in both random and sequential transfer are top notch and as been proved to be even higher than the actual transfer rate given by Sandisk (tested on computer). I saw several benchmark and it was proven to have about 2 times the transfer rate of a sandisk microsd ultra on a galaxy SIII and Note 2.
Now I wonder about how does it work on the Xperia Z Ultra, anybody have this card and did run a bench?

See the above link. Unless the ultra supports UHS-1 you will get class 10 performance. You will still get quicker than the normal class 10 cards but your not going to get the full achievable performance out of the card.

Anyway I didn't make this post for trolling about cards, just wanna know if someone actually use it on the ultra and have some results. Always so annoying to talking about memory cards because each person have his own way of thinking about it. I am not a newbie memory card user, I know the details and how it work. So no need to come and say things that are not at they place on this thread.

Funny, really. I have already 3 different microsd class 10 from classic 8 gb to ultra 32 gb and I can tell that the transfer rate is really different. We are well in the 10 mb transfer rate guaranty but they can do far more than just this. I got big difference with swap partition on the 32gb ultra than the 32gb classic. Random and sequential access are grandly improved and same goes for the new extreme pro. And benchmarks on PC and Android show it too, or maybe everybody lie and bench are good to be throw on the recycle bin.

It is different! Root access modify read ahead and some other commands values and the ultra give better results. So if the phone can treat transfer better and modify some value that influence cache treatment and i/o database performances you can, with a better card have better transfer rate.

yeah of course i was rooted on both devices, but left the I/O read-ahead alone... but after the cache is gone, it still bottlenecks to the speed the card and device can handle. (I'm talking 100mb files for testing here)

Thank you, Im glad to hear that! Yes I remember the days when having an SD card in my android device back in 2010, from time to time I had to stick it in the computer and delete the partition with gparted to start all over.
Got my microSD extreme 32gb and here as attachment a sd card bench with the internal memory as well.
The internal memory speed is really amazing, no wonder why games launch so fast. And it clearly show that Sony gave us a really amazing sdcard reader, 41/31 show performances above of what a microSD ultra can give.
For those interested to bench your memory you can use A1 SD Bench available on play store. For test your sd card you need to set the directory manually. /storage/removable/sdcard1 and for more accurate results select long test.

My meaning of long bench means:
Downloading A1 SD Bench or SD Card Tester to do a Benchmark.
A1 Bench (Long Bench)
SD Card Tester (To set file size to maybe 1000MB or 2000MB)
Anyways, Galaxy S5 doesn't support UHS-I Speed.
And I don't get what you mean by saying that, you don't think it's anything extraordinary for new phones to support UHS-I.
Quoted from (showthread.php?t=2708665)
Of course to say, All UHS-I cards are backward compatible. If your device doesn't supports UHS-I, It will downgrade itself to Class 10.
So, my question on the title is that, does Z2 support uhs-i speed. I'm not talking about if the phone supports the card.
Really sorry if I sound rude. I'm just trying to make things clearer.
My apologies for not giving enough information and background when I ask this question.

Thanks for the clarification.
In that case, I would say I don't know if it supports UHS-I speed. It certainly supports the card though.
As for benchmarks, I can't seem to get it done. I think it's largely due to KitKat limitation. Is your N3 running on KitKat? Can you get the benchmark done?

Yup. My N9005 is running on 4.4.2.
Taken from wikipedia,
Version 4.4
Applications' write access to secondary storage (memory cards on devices with internal primary storage) is made possible but restricted to their designated private directories only, while full access to internal primary storage is still allowed through a separate application-level permission.
I'm able to do benchmark using A1 SD Bench.
If you were to do a custom location, you only can point to the sd card folder which the application has access to.
The lexar sdcard benchmark results on my N9005 is not good.
20MBps read and 12MBps write
I did a benchmark using the card and its usb 3.0 reader on my laptop and it reads 89.69MBps and writes 47.22MBps.
I got the card from newstead. I bought 3 actually. And all 3 of them gave the same android & laptop results.
Finally, I really thinks that Z2 is amazing and I will definitely switch phone if it does support uhs-i sd card speed.

Well your microsd is uhs-i because prior to uhs, microsd maximum speed is 25MBps.
Your read speed is physically impossible without uhs bus speeds.
Uhs-i has a 50MBps and 104MBps version. Looks like our phone is topping out at 50 which means it only supports sdr50 or ddr50.

It means 25MBps in read or write?
EDIT: It means 25MB/s transfer, no matter read or write. With Toshiba Exceria 16G I have 38,8 MB/s read and 22,5 MB/s write.

But mine just says class 10 on the card.
Unlike the Note 3, which has USB 3.0, the Z2 only has a USB 2.0 connector, so you're going to be capped transfer speed-wise.

Lets Talk About SDCARDS

So what micro sdcards are people using as i need a new one want 32GB at least. Does it support 64? Preferably an amazon link!
link below, you can go 64gb or 128gb if you like. on 4.4.2 you might have to do the KK SDcard fix, which is simply editing a file in permissions and allowing RW access to the sd card. Might be the same for Lollipop, but I'm not there yet on my phone.
One thing I did find is that I get lag if I stick loads of music on there and use the stock app, so I use rocket player as it handles that better.

I think I read somewhere that the G3 actually supported up to 3TB SD cards ! (And yes, I know there's no card that big, but it just means it works ! )
Just get any class 10 sd card.
Just as a PSA, Best Buy is having a pretty good sale on Samsung micro sd cards. I got a 64gb "evo" for $25. Steady write rate, according to us file explorer, on 40mbps.
I can finally explore some 4k recording.
Sdcards for LG G3
In most regions the LG G3 comes with a hearty 32GB of internal storage, leaving nearly 25GB for you to use as you wish. As is often the case, one size never fits everyone — and if you need more than 32GB in your mobile device, you'll have to resort to using an external SD card to expand it. The LG G3's MicroSD card slot supports up to 128GB cards, giving you more room than you'd likely ever be able to fill.

You can put whatever you want on your sd card but id just use it for pictures and music etc. As for root its the equivalent of heartbreaking on ios there is plenty out there id do research before doing anything to do with root or bump.

You can put whatever you want on your sd card but id just use it for pictures and music etc. As for root its the equivalent of heartbreaking on ios there is plenty out there id do research before doing anything to do with root or bump.

128gb card
I've been using a Sandisk 128GB card for a couple of months now. Currently about half full with music. Reads / writes fine with no discernible real world difference compared to the 16GB card I had previously.
Can't say how it might work with stock, I am Rooted and booted using Cyanogenmod 12 by Manupse. No complaints.

From what I understand, the Samsung Pro cards are great. The one you posted is the last generation one. The current one is rated at up to 90MBps read and up to 50MBps write, and isn't that much more at $59.99.

This being said, people tend to prefer the Samsung EVO cards for phone use. They're substantially less expensive ($35.79 shipped):

The reason people tend to prefer the less expensive EVO cards is their faster 4k random read/write speeds, which is arguably the most important aspect for phone use.
Here's the 64GB Samsung EVO micro SD:
Here's the 64GB Samsung Pro micro SD:
If you're using it in a camera, 4k camcorder, or transferring big files, I can see preferring the Pro. Then again, you can get the very similar PNY Turbo 64GB card (up to 90MBps read) for $27.99 shipped right now, which is less than 1/2 the price.
