i wana to have a new MicroSD Card for my Samsung galaxy ace i have 2 options:
Transcend Memory Card MicroSDHC 8GB class 10
or
16GB class 4 almost same price online,and
my Galaxy ace is 278 MB RAM and 800MHz processor will i get smooth experience if i use 16GB card....so what to do plz reply ASAP.
nope they wont
I don't think that is how storage works, It should be fine.
If you were one of my Soldiers you would be doing pushups right now. The only downfall of a bigger SD card is the little bit it'll take to scan it upon bootup and upon unmounting it from your computer.
It should not slow down the device all the time, but during boot when scanning the card, but otherwise you should not notice a lag.

it's really more post boot, than during boot. after the phone starts, then there's be a delay when it has to scan the device.
Thats good I will buy 32gb...
32GB support your phone or not. Then buy a class-6 or class-10 memory.
its not if u buy min class 4 or 6.....

my phone does support up to 32GB...but i don't have such need..
Thank you all for u'r reply i have got my self a 8GB class 10 @650 and i am good access speed
read spedd18MBPS
write speed:10Mbps
8 GB Best.
i know there are different classes of memory cards but i dont think its that much of a difference memory cards arnt like ram where the effect the speed of your phone a noticeable amount
I also want to try 32gb to my device
Then again the more stuff you have on it, the more time it would take to index and find things bit its not really like a hard drive so it won't have fragmentation
uhs-1
what do you guys think of UHS-1 cards I found one for a nice price 16gb
Baud rate:
Reading:up to 20 MB/sec
Random read (4 KB)up to 500 IOPS
Random entry (4 KB)to 50 IOPS
I personally use a 16GB class 10 card, was made by Lexar...
It was only £15.50 and came with a USB and SD card adapter, can't complain...
Real speeds are about 11.5mb/s write, and 16mb/s read
Hope this helped you decide...
no make it slow

samsung galaxy ace
Hi im looking at getting mircro sd card for my samsung galaxy ace, i have a 8gb class 4 in at the moment but im looking at getting this:
32GB MICRO SDHC MEMORY CARD WITH SD ADAPTER TF HC MICROSD
****** 5 Year Warranty. Class 6******************
Would this also work? any help would be great
I currently have 16 GB class 2, and i am about to but 32GB class 4.
what is the diffrences beetween them ?
The games will work smother with class 4?
I have a 32 GB class 10 micro sd card, bit I didn't really notice any difference in speed compared to the 8 GB class 2 micro sd that came with the phone...
Sent from my R800i using XDA
The class rating of an Sd card is based of off its Write speed. So a 16gb class 2 would write at 2mb per second, the 32 gb class 4 will be able to write at 4mb per second, There is a slight "catch" however when using larger storage Sd cards, its been explained to me in the past that when you go up in storage it takes the device (phone, pc, camera ect.) longer periods of time to initially read the card itself because its now reading through more storage space then before (even if that space is empty in places).
With that in mind, the 32gb class 4 will Write files to it self at a faster speed then the 16gb class 2, but it will take your phone longer periods of time to access the information on the larger Gb card, so will games play smoother off your Sd card, technically no, they wont. But what you will achieve are faster data transfer rates when moving files to and from.
Also take into account that the class rating system isnt exactly perfect. For instance my 32gb class 4 is rated to write at 4mb per second, but its achieved 6mb per second depending on the files, and Im currently using a 32gb class 10 which most of the time writes data at 12mb per second.
I hope this helps
I think the best would be those samsung or sandisk ultra class6 cards.

There was some other thread around where people found that class10 cards had higher latency and slower access times than the class4 ones. So they're not really suited for mobile phones where quick data access is more important than high transfer rates.

I still believe storage size has a greater effect on access time then the class rating, classes are read/write speeds but more space takes longer time to read. The class itself being suitable, depends more upon the manufacturer of the sd card, and the manufacturer of the device and the device its being used in. A 4gb class10 is going to give you great performance in your device where as a 32gb class10 will indeed function a little slower but depends if you need all that space or not. I'm no expert but that has been my experience.

It will decrease its "lifespan" but probably won't kill it, I think the apps2sd script bumps things up drastically and I didn't have any troubles for the while I was using it, but the SD card manufacturer and its class might have some effects on the bumped up lifespan .. probably good to at least make sure you have a spare!

I indeed have a spare one that I am using in my OG droid. Lol. I use that phone as an ipod touch like device. Too bad I don't have a sim card because I'm on cdma. If I were, then I could use my OG droid when I want to use a slimmer phone that has a physical keyboard. However, SwiftKey has me not missing my physical keyboard.

When are they going to release the 64 GB Galaxy Note 2 ? At least when Apple say that there is a 64 GB version, we actually see it in real life.
If Samsung is not going to release it, why even announce that there is a 64 GB version. Samsung may as well say that there is a 16/32/64/128/256 GB version of the Galaxy Note 2 during its event to make it look good.
Gn2 forums state Samsung isn't going to bother with the 64, and likely focus on the 16 only.

Even if you don't believe everything posted in a forum, considering that the 64GB S3s are just now slowly starting to trickle out in Europe, I wouldn't be optimistic on that ever happening.
Wait toss doesn't have 64? Kidding, but maybe the onboard chip coukd be removed and replaced with a 64gb model. Couple of guys I work with could do it and they have the tools. Probably safer to put a 64gb class 10 microsd in it. Maybe in a year, after warranty is out, I'll have them take a stab at it.

I would imagine that a class 10 64GB card would not be a good idea as a replacement to the built-in 16GB flash; I think the onboard flash is higher speed than any SD card we would install, even if you could get the Note II's storage controller and such to recognize the new chip properly, and do the connections properly.
Sounds like a cool project nonetheless
Try this, it will switch your external sd card to your internal sd card. So if you have a 64gb card you can essentially have a 64gb samsung note 2.

How are things running? The internal storage on the note 2 is about triple the speed of an extreme sd card running at 95mb/s. Note 2 internal read write is just over 220 mb/s. If you use a class 10 sd card, those are only 25-30mb/s. If your playing games with huge loads like Nova 3 or move huge amounts of video/photos, it's likely going to take a huge hit to speed if you use the SD card as internal storage.
It's like desktop PCs - many people use smaller ssds for the OS and the bigger but often slower drives for heavy storage. In this case then internal is like an ssd and the SD card is like a data drive.
Can you compare the transfer rate while moving a big video to and from the internal memory compared to moving the same video to the SD card mounted as the internal drive? Curious as to your results.

My point is not that iphone has better storage or not. What I want to say is Samsung stated that there is a 64 GB version of the Galaxy Note 2 and they don't release it at the same time as the release of the 16 GB. Apple actually release the 16/32/64 GB at the same time.
The funny thing is, Samsung actually can make its own flash memory. It does not have to depend on another company.

To be honest i cant tell of any difference in speed in day to day use. Apps load fine and just as fast as the internal sd. The core apps and Stock Rom are installed on the ram, so there wouldnt be any difference really with using the device. As for transferring videos back and forth i haven't really done and tests, but than again i would always store larger media files on the 64gb sd anyway. I do highly recommend this mod especially for someone looking for more capacity. i had this mod on my gs3 and no problems then, and i have no problems now. If anyone is holding out for the 64gb note 2 just look at the gs3 situation. You have to remember you arent removing the internal sd they are just swapped for each other in the OS. So the internal is now the external. Both are accessible just like normal.
I'm running a 64GB microSDXC and it's just fine and dandy. I agree they shouldn't announce it and then not have it available though.

You should never be worried about the internal memory size - even 8GB should be enough, AS LONG AS the phone comes with EXTERNAL SD CARD SLOT WHICH ACCEPTS LARGE SD CARDS. Having the external SD card is NOT necessarily about expanding your storing capacity (although a 64GB does that generously) but rather about having your information safe, significantly less prone to accidental formatting/erasing. Most of the time when you do a factory reset your internal storage is also formatted - do you want that to happen when you stored tons of important information? Of course not!! Worried about read/write speed? Buy a high quality, class 10 external SD card and I promise you won't see any drop in speed. Only use the internal storage for files that the system really looks for and requires to be placed inhere - otherwise, EVERYTHING else, especially large media files, backups and personal files should be kept onto the EXTERNAL SD Card. There are tons of advantages doing so and all those messages companies like Apple, HTC (newly adopted this stupid model), or others alike who try to influence and convince you that external SD cards are obsolete & cloud storage is better, all that is simply marketing BS. Buy Samsung because they didn't aligned themselves to the BS, because you can have a super generous 16GB internal storage and up to 64GB external storage. Do you need more than 80GB on the go? Then reconsider...really! Maybe you shouldn't download all the internet today, leave some for tomorrow when they'll make you pay for all that "free" cloud storage that you kept cramming onto today. Be open minded, understand how things work and do what's good for YOU not for the big corporations!
Several game loft games and the internal storage is gone... some people do that ya know
And most people dont know about all the hacks to get around this limitation.

are my Galaxy W even had capability to read such as speed that UHS-1 can offer..?? or it just a wast of money..??

I´m actually using a noname UHS-1 class 10 SDCard. It´s slightly faster than my Samsung class 10 SDCard, but this isn´t because of UHS-1 as this device doesn´t support it. It´s for sure a bit faster because it´s using faster NAND chips that are required for UHS-1.
So all in all it´s not recommended to replace an existing class 10 against a UHS-1 Card, but if you are planning to buy a new one and it costs the same, you can get a UHS-1 card as well.

I benched them with Antutu Benchmark and there the noname was slightly faster. Just you will not notice this small difference in daily use.
So if you are already using a class 10 SDCard then it will be a waste of money, but for someone who is using a class 4 or class 6 it´s a good replacement.

Okay.
good memory
i have been tried microsd sdhc v-g** 32gb, and it work fine. event i can play any heavy games now. i just bought it for a week and good working on our W phone.
I know, this is probably a silly question, but am I the only one that notices how devices only tend to label compatibility with Micro SD cards based on size, and not speed or class? For instance, my Galaxy Tab S2, it simply says it can take up to a 128gb SD card, but it does not say what speed it will work with.
The reason I ask, is that I am now in the market for a 128gb card, and yet I don't want to buy an expensive fast one, if my tablet will not be able to take advantage of the premium speed. Anyone have any thoughts?
I don't know about the speed but I have a SanDisk 200 GB that runs fine.
I think that any phone or tablet that will read 128 GB will also work with 200 GB.
Shofar
Don't worry
Any MicroSD card will work in your Galaxy Tab S2. But then, you might have to format it. When you buy the card, keep an eye out on the speed class- higher speeds are much better!
You are looking for a 128GB card, and I use one in my tablet so don't worry. It will work! But I seriously recommend a higher performance card because it can get very slow with cheaper cards.
Hope this helps!
I just tested a regular class 10 card and a UHS-1 card. Both tested at 9mb write and 40mb read. The same UHS-1 card tested over 40mb write using an Odroid C1 board.

No, that means that "class" classification is outdated. Fast cards (read and write) bear the UHS-I "U3" classification, "U1" is slower.
In future, only buy U3 cards, like the SanDisk Extreme family.

I guess you missed the part where I stated that the UHS card had a write speed of 40mb using the Odroid C1 board. Obviously, when it only writes 9mb in the S2, then the S2 itself doesn't support the higher speeds. So, no matter ability the card has, if the device's bus doesn't support the higher speed, then the card's ability is meaningless. Any card you use is going to be limited by the bus speed of the device.
Paying extra for a better card is pointless if the device doesn't support the higher speed.

Why don't you install the A1 SD Benchmark from the Play Store and test your own cards? My internal storage rates 50mb write and 160 read.
Hi,
I'm considering this microSD for my new tablet s2, do you think is good quality?

I am using this SanDisk 128 GB Micro SDXC UHS-1 / Class 10 card and it works fine! The price/performance is good.
In germany (Amazon.de) you can get the card for 33 € (+shipping costs).

For our fast S2, this one is too slow in writing. Class 10 means only fast reading.
You better choose a Samsung or SanDisk with the "U3" designation, which means fast writing, like this:

FOR EVERYBODY :
I have bought a LEXAR 633x 200GB !!!
And it works !
Speed : read 95Mo/s write : 40Mo/s
For 90$, it do the job very well !
The only better sdcard is the 256GB SAMSUNG but it's out of price !
So a higher performance card or 200GB eill make the tab s2 go faster then? What amount of storage and sd card do you recommend?
It won't make the tab S2 go faster. But it will allow faster read/writing to higher performance sd card compared to a regular one. The S2 can only go as fast as it's hardware can, with or without a microsd card.
Figured I'd share my results with my 2015 S2 8.0 (SM-T710). Right now I have a Samsung EVO Pro (U1) 64GB in my tablet and it does ok, but I'm just about to upgrade it to a new 128GB EVO PLUS (U3) card so got some results below. Note the previous 32GB card I had was waay worse, much older and only did 4MB/sec on writes (forgot the brand) but things have at least come a long way in the years since.
Results as follows...
Samsung EVO Pro 64GB (U1) - 70.53MB/sec Read - 72.86MB/sec Write (Fresh Format)
Samsung EVO Plus 128GB (U3) - 69.91MB/sec Read - 43.40MB/sec Write (Fresh Format)
Samsung EVO Pro 64GB (U1) - 70.07MB/sec Read - 17.81MB/sec Write (Only 4.9GB Free)
Samsung EVO Plus 128GB (U3) - 63.08MB/sec Read - 27.12MB/sec Write (Only 65.9GB Free)
For the heck of it tried the transfer rates on the PC for the 2 cards as well.
Samsung EVO Pro 64GB (U1) - 86.85MB/sec Read - 80.77MB/sec Write (Fresh Format)
Samsung EVO Plus 128GB (U3) - 87.04MB/sec Read - 82.27MB/sec Write (Fresh Format)
Though got to say while cards neck and neck, small file writes where 5x greater on the new U3 card (.5MB/sec vs 2.5MB/sec) on 4k writes.
