hi
I would like to know if the 128GB Micro SD Card will work on note 8 [N5120]?
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SanDisk-...Readers_USB_Host_Adapters&hash=item43c9c05b88
According to the Samsung specs for the Note 8.0 the upper limit for the micro SD card is 64GB. The 128GB cards might work (I don't have one to try) but they are not supported.
If you buy memory cards on eBay you might not have to worry about that since there are many fakes being sold there with much less than the advertised capacity. I suggest Amazon as a better source, and there are some fakes there too, but they are much easier to return.

It should work, as there has been reports in threads that 128GB SD cards work. You may find a faster type even better. I had a thread on using super fast SD cards.

This one looks like a better deal.
That item is sold and fulfilled by Amazon which is always the best way to buy items if there is any chance that you might return them.

I tested a few SDXC 600x and 633x cards, and found that Ultra SD cards are not that good for speeds. Extreme or Extreme Pro is the way to go.
Lexar, PNY and Samsung Pro SDXC cards are very quick but costly once you get to the 128GB sizes.

Remember that you're talking about a tablet here and not a digital camera where write speeds are much more important. Were your benchmarks run with the cards in the tablet or connected to a PC or another device?
I doubt that it will be worth the money to go for an "Extreme" micro SDXC card if he is mainly looking for more capacity for the tablet.

Includes: Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 (N5100/N5110)
And here's the SD Card Associations table of speed ratings.
According to that table an SDXC Class 10 card, which the Sandisk Ultra is, should be fine for use in the Note 8.0. Heck, we don't even have a flash for our camera.

Some don't care about speeds and can get by with a standard SD card.
For running apps from SD which many do or want video playback from HD sources, you need a fast read time. Plus if you have large backups, you can save minutes off your backup and restore times.
Just saying as I call it. Don't need to throw numbers down as they are trivial, real world walks the walk, while benchmark numbers can only talk the talk.

Whoa! I believe that term is "calling it as you see it" which is another way of saying you are expressing your opinion and you have every right to do that. :good:
I asked a simple question and you didn't even bother to answer that. Have you benchmarked the cards in this tablet or not? You brought up your testing of "ultra" versus "extreme" but never described how you did that.
A couple of years ago phones and tablets wouldn't benefit from anything faster than a class 4 SD card and I doubt that the readers in them have improved that much since then. Here's an article with advice about buying SD cards for an Android device, including what speeds are appropriate. I'm asking you to identify what the "real world" experience is going to be using the card as the OP intends, not benchmarking them with a USB 3.0 reader on a PC with Crystal Disk Mark or some similar app, versus something like A1 SD Benchmark on the Note 8.0 itself.
There's a thing called the law of diminishing returns and IMO spending a lot of money to upgrade from "Ultra" to "Extreme" may fit that. It's easy to spend someone else's money but most of us have to buy what we need and conserve it. There's one scenario where that might make sense and that's if the plan is to use the card often in a fast USB 3.0 reader on a PC to load a lot of data, like movies, and he can't afford to wait for the class 10 write speeds. Otherwise, he may wind up buying a Ferrari when he needs an Audi.
And if you want to be respected as an expert be prepared to be challenged when you are expressing opinions and not facts. That's real world.

GT-N5110 128GB MicroSD Card Compatibility Report
Hi,
I'm glad to report I successfully mounted a Sandisk Ultra 128GB MicroSDXC (exFAT) without issues in my Galaxy Note 8.0 WiFi (GT-N5110)
Note: I'm running CyanogenMod 11.0. Therefore, I can only conclude the hardware is compatible although I have no idea if the official Samsung ROM supports it.
Best regards

According to SanDisk (see link in post #7 above) the 128GB Ultra microSDXC card is compatible with the Note 8.0 so it should work with the stock ROM. Only the N5100 and N5110 models are mentioned, but the hardware and software that affects the SD card should be the same for all Note 8.0 models.

You need to go with the 128GB Sandisk Ultra microSDXC card that's been discussed throughout this thread. It's plenty fast for the Note 8.0 and AFAIK there is no "Extreme" version available in the 128GB microSDXC format at this point.

I don't know where you got that product number but these are the official SanDisk product numbers (click the specifications tab) for their microSDXC Ultra cards with adapter. Anything other than those product numbers is probably just packaging differences and I think the important part is "SDSDQU-128G".
There are a lot of fakes floating around for this card so I highly recommend purchasing from a reputable dealer with a reasonable return policy.

Slow down a sec ramjet73. -smiles- That was the number included with my purchase. Mine was bundled when I bought it 6 months ago. Since my purchase SanDisk has also changed the video spec of the cards as well. The "important" number is in fact SDSDQU-128G. For the record here is the EXACT link for purchasing the Sandisk 128gb microSD card for anyone interested. This is the EXACT microSD card latest manufacturer revision. (hopefully it posts to the forum). Buy from a reputable seller. I agree with ramjet73 - Do not buy counterfeit. You will not get the rated specs or performance.

Hope this helps.
(edit) My Model number in the original post contained "AFFP" at the end of the model number. This is a packaging identifier and refers to "Frustration Free Packaging" and is simply how the item is sold and presented to the consumer at the time of sale. The important part is the "SDSDQU-128G" number leading it and of course the SanDisk brand.

That's another full size SD card that won't fit in the Note 8.0 and I've told you how I feel about eBay so I'm not going to recommend anything from there. If you have to buy from eBay for some reason the original card you linked will work but make sure to check out the seller well and read the reviews from the buyers that have purchased memory cards. If you are sold on the idea of getting something faster than the Sandisk Ultra class 10 card you are going to have to downsize to 64GB and then there are are some "extreme" options available that are compatible with the Note 8.0.
I've already contributed what I can to your OP about the SanDisk 128GB Ultra miniSDXC card and I think the considerations and options for getting that are pretty clear now. If you want to change the scope and look at anything that's compatible with the Note 8.0 I'll leave it to the other users participating in this thread to give you advice.
Good luck!

Well, smiles or not, that's exactly the same link I included yesterday in post #5 above so I was wondering why you were contradicting that with your product number recommendation. When I Googled the product number you posted previously it seems to be something that's specific to BestBuy and not the SanDisk identifier. If you read the SanDisk press release for the Ultra 128GB microSDXC it said at that time (February 2014) that only Amazon and BestBuy would be carrying the 128GB version so that number may still be valid for BestBuy.
I've done everything I can to help in this thread and the OP seems to be sold on getting something faster than the Ultra 128GB so I'm moving on and you can make whatever recommendations you want without being questioned.
Edit: It looks like the product number you originally gave may be the Amazon identifier for "frustration free packaging" which means they take the bulk version of the card and adapter and put them in their own packing which is supposed to be easier to open and more environmentally friendly. The SanDisk part number for the card itself should be the same. That version is currently not available if you click on the frustration free packing option and the 128GB capacity on the Amazon item listing.

See previous post. I contradicted nothing. You simply weren't aware of the packaging details or that last 4 numbers in the product details. No biggie. That's why I suggested you "slow down". Don't be so quick to put others posts down or prove them wrong somehow. Maybe they aren't wrong at all. Also for the record the packaging isn't tied specifically with Best Buy. If you shop around you will find the FFP packaging other places. I purchased my SD back in February from Amazon. The exact link I shared for others.

I don't think that will work. Is it SDHC? I have a 32 GB class 10 and I had to do a full format on my PC to get it to work with Android.
Didn't know there are 64gb microSD cards already...Still looking for 32gb with 17mb/sec write...$50 at NewEgg, but it lasts like couple of days before sold out..
The AT&T store told me 64G cards won't work. That's too bad. I'd like to get at least a 32G eventually.
Can one buy any 32G microSD card? I don't need anything fancy, it just needs to work.

I remember 4-5 years ago when 16gb just came out, many phones didn't support them, yet they worked together ok, it's just manufactures didn't test it, that's all...maybe it's same case here, unless it's not SDHC anymore.

Yes you can, but you might want to check compatibility for 32 GB cards. I know there is an issue with 32 GB class 10 cards. You have to do a full format on them in order for Android to see them.

I am pretty sure the 64 GB micro SD cards are not SDHC. Atleast I haven't see one that was.
64gb micro sd cards are SDXC. They've been proven to work on SGS2, Sensation, Droid Razr, Asus Transformer tab, even on a Nook and SGS1.
64gb cards are supported, just not officially.
As I understand it, there's no difference mechanically between SDHC and SDXC. The main difference is the file system they use, so the OS just needs to be compatible with the new file system and it should work. As the post above notes, android is already proven compatible but until someone tries one in a Nitro it's tough to say that it'll work for sure.
The other difference between SDHC and SDXC is support for speeds higher than class 10, which an SDHC host wouldn't be able to take advantage of.
I've seen a thread on here where someone used a 64gb card in the Nitro with success. It may have been the thread titled "Crappy SD card..."?

unfortunately, no one has yet to try the 64gb SDXC card just yet, most likely due to the astronomical price range. Below is one from amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Mobil...WIA2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327458819&sr=8-1
Just posting to confirm that the 64gb SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSDXC Class 6 (that I ordered from Amazon here for $55.00) works perfectly in the Nitro! Just pop it into the phone to format it. The phone will initially say it's damaged, let the phone format it, and then you're good to go! (I'd read that for other android phones, trying to format this card on the pc and then using it on the phone doesn't work that well, so I went straight for the phone formatting method). It shows 59.46 GB of space usable. I've filled it all up to test it, and it seems to work just fine! It's only class 6, so I only get about 6 to 8 MB/s write speeds, but I think that's plenty fast for the phone. There is also a class 10 version of this card for 25 bucks more on Amazon, but, for me, it didn't warrant the extra cost. Just letting you guys know in case you're digital hoarders like me! =)
I just got SanDisk Ultra 64GB class 10 micro SDXC .. it worked like charm.
first it says memory card error and need to format... just format and mount it ... it shows 60GB available space ... :laugh:
HIT thanks if that helps !!
Are the 64GB models already available anywhere? Anyone has a reference? Thanks.
Sorry dude, been looking for one as well and its no where! We might have to wait a few months!
Right, who knows when and where will these show up... if ever, of course. But if they do hopefully we'll hear about it here.
The N7000 32Gb models showed up a few months after the launch, initially in Austria, and the 64Gb 10.1 Notes became available at launch, but only in Russia so far, AFAIK.
Doesn't look like the 64 and 32 Gb models are available yet, e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927370 ...

Thanks for the link! YouTube shows that the video was uploaded two months ago. So if the guy in the video is correct, then that would mean that the 64GB model was available, pretty much, at launch in Korea... But we haven't heard anything, have we?
All we have is him saying that "it's a 64GB version" in the video, or something to that effect. I didn't notice any shots in the video showing that it was indeed so... I wonder if it actually is a 64GB model?..
It is. There's another video he has that shows proof. He also has a xda account. Maybe you could try messaging him?

For day to day use, you will see no difference on Class 6 or 10 ... if you plan to copy/move large files or music files on a regular basis, then maybe a little ... Will definitely not affect any performance like Camera app, etc.
And I still prefer 32GB Class 10 for now.

hi,
no,i got my note 2 out of box with no sd card.Had to use my own.
good luck
Class 6 and Class 10 write speed in Note 2 won't be a big difference.
I found Note 2's external memory controller write speed capped at around 10-11MB/s
But for read speed, it will be a BIG difference.
I am using Samsung 64GB UHS-I Pro micro SD.
Having like 55MB+/sec read speed.
with my old Lexar 32GB Class 10 only got 13MB/s read speed.
So, if you concern of read speed, get fastest card you can afford.
if your main concern is write speed, get a class 6 or class 10 would be fine.
And don't get SanDisk ultra. it's known to have problem with Note 2.

That suck's for a $299.00 high end phone? even a 16Gb would have been better than nothing and they go for $15.00! Oh well......

How much for that card? and I have NEVER had issues with SanDisk Cards? I can get the Ultra for $59.00 on Amazon!

I bought mine in Hong Kong for USD 95.
It's expensive yeah but it's the fastest 64GB micro SD you can buy.
It's good for you that you don't have problem with SanDisk Ultra but you can search for Note 2 + SanDisk Ultra.
It has a known problem, after awhile of use or the disk capacity reached certain amount.
Sometimes it will unmount the card or even damage the files in the card.
You can only re format the disk to solve the problem.
MANY people reported this problem. I don't know maybe trigger rate is not 100% but still not recommended.
Darkinners, thanks for your responds and suggestions (which I took and did a search, then some research!)
1. All of these complaints on SanDisk were about the 32Gb Card, not the 64Gb card. All the 64Gb comments were good.
2. The people with issues (both 64Gb and 32Gb) had formatted the card at exFAT, not SDXC. Mathamatically, I can pretty much figure out a.) why it will not write files over 4Gb and b.) why the 64Gb exFAT crashes after it fills over 16Gb! (Think about it, SIII is desinged to read/store 32Gb, not 64Gb even though it will format exFAT. And as for the kid whos computer would not read the 64Gb exFAT, i bet he has 32-bit machine?
3. All complaints were from Europe and blamed on a bad batch of cards (it happens). The one happy individual I saw got his card from Amazon, which is a ligit website. Just because the card says SanDisk, does not mean it actually SanDisk. Cheap forgien vendors use this lable to make them look legit?
4. The card you mentioned and the SanDisk are priced about the same, $59.99USD. I will get SanDisk and format either in phone or my laptop as SDXC and play for awhile. If it piss me off, I will return it!
Again, thanks for your input and suggestions!
Hi, Has anyone found a 64GB microSD card that works flawlessly with the G Pad 8.3? I have been reading about issues people are having with the Sandisk 64GB card and I am curious if all 64GB cards have issues or only the Sandisk? Personally I have ordered the Sandisk but it has not yet arrived (neither the LG Pad) but I am wondering if I should return the Sandisk for another brand if there is one that works correctly. Thank you for any advise / feedback you can give regarding 64 GB cards you have used.
For info the one I ordered is:
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-micro...qid=1387796520&sr=1-1&keywords=micro+sd+64+gb
That's the card I have had many issues with and tried on two different G pads... I wonder if it's incompatible with 64GB cards somehow, since I have tried lower capacity sandisk cards without issue. SDXC issue maybe and needs to be SDHC perhaps? I haven't seen anything that specifies which format of SD card is compatible... I had issues with the 64GB sandisk card as soon as I inserted it, kept saying it was removed again , then reinserted. It COULD read and write to it but lost sight of it often. In recovery mode worked flawlessly and also on PC....
I have this Samsung card and it works perfectly.....

That seems to put the Sandisk brand in the spotlight then... I just reformatted mine using the SD formatter https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/ but after thinking it had made a difference, the tablet lost sight of it again 40% through a backup...

I'm happy to use SanDisk in my cameras, but for mobile devices I've read of too many problems. Samsung, on the other hand, seems to receive pretty universal praise. No doubt there are exceptions, but I went for Samsung based on rep and superior speed.
I've had no issues running the Sandisk 64GB card in my G Pad. Currently have it formatted with exFAT. I have a ton of stuff on it as well as moved all of my games onto it using Foldermount. Thus would know immediately if the card were to disappear / no longer be recognized. Check the format of the card. If you have it formatted in FAT32 then reformat it to exFAT. I believe exFAT is preferred with larger cards.
Thanks for the info about exfat, this sounds promising. Can anyone with the SanDisk card that is having issues try this and confirm if it fixes their issue. When mine arrives I will try it out but I need to wait another week or so. Thank you

Unrelated but I could never get any 64GB card (and I tried 4 different brands) to work properly in my Samsung 8"..
I have a 32GB in the LG currently and was planning on getting a 64, now maybe not?
I have a Sandisk ultra 64gb and use folder mount and run my games from it with no problems.
i have no problem with my 64gb sd card that i ordered from amazon didn't need to format it or anything just worked out of the box

Same here got the same card works flawlessly Samsung 64gb class10 card
I have the 64gb sandisk I moved from my tf700, no issues
Anyone tried the more generic brands yet? I have a 32gb Patriot Class 10 that seems to work fine, but there's a 64gb on sale at a local Canadian retailer that looks mighty tempting...

I certainly wouldn't consider Patriot a generic company!
I have a 64GB card from Komputerbay that was £35 from Amazon.co.uk that is working well so far. Came formatted exFAT.
I've lost faith in the SanDisk cards. Also, the Ultra cards that most people talk about are not very fast!

Hello guys, does anyone know if uhs-ii is leveraged by s20 ultra? As far as I know earlier models only benefit from uhs-i and hence no need to get ultra fast card. With 8k and huge files could it be that Samsung bumped the microsd spec?
It seems Samsung does not make itself uhs-ii cards. I looked at AData, ProGrade and Lexar. From tests it seems ADATA is fairly impressive at speeds exceeding 200MB/s for both read and write

Unless some really low data rate is utilized, I cannot see writing capture directly to any removable storage with 8K/24 output. The device will become unresponsive.

Where did you see the speed stats for Adata? Link, please. Thanks.
The phone supports UFS cards, according to the two Samsung support people I spoke too. So you could aways try those but I believe only size available currently is 256gb and smaller.
Google model MB-FA256G/AM
I have one ordered when it comes I update my findings with the UFS card

Take their words with a pinch of salt. i spoke to one personally and he told me the phone does not support UFS card. The only way to find out now is hope one of the owners can test it and share the result with us.

I looked a this test
https://www.anandtech.com/show/11974/adata-premier-and-xpg-sdxc-and-microsdxc-cards-review/3
I actually made an error and looked at the SDXC figures for the 128GB card. I should have been looking at the 3rd page (linked above) that is about microSDXC.
ADATA microSD does not seem that fast unfortunately. I can get the Lexar card too. I really have no preference. Lexar simply seems a bit better. That would only matter if the phone support UHS-II.
UFS card support as speculated above will be fantastic. I do not see it listed in the Samsung S20 Series Specs though. I only find the following on Samsung web site (all other sites kind of copy creatively this text and likely mess it up due to negligence or sheer incompetence.)
Single SIM model: one Nano SIM and one MicroSD slot (up to 1TB)
Dual SIM model (Hybrid SIM slot): one Nano SIM and one Nano SIM or one MicroSD slot (up to 1TB)
*SIM card sold separately. Availability of Dual SIM may vary depending on country and carrier.
*MicroSD card sold separately. Availability may vary depending on country and manufacturer.
*eSIM supported on Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra models. eSIM requires a wireless service plan and allows you to activate a mobile network plan without the use of a Nano SIM. eSIM availability may vary depending on country and carrier. Check with your carrier if your mobile network plan supports eSIM.

Thanks! I looked into some V90 MicroSDXC cards, and it appears that Delkin Power is the fastest for write speeds. However, it's pretty expensive, and I ended up getting a 128GB Lexar 1800x card (probably the next fastest one).
Hoping that the Ultra does indeed support UFS! Cheers.
still waiting for confirmation of samsung ufs memory card compatbility with s20 ultra. i would like to get one and test but unfortunately it's only sold in US.
I ordered the 256gb UFS card from Samsung early February but still hadn't been shipped yet but once it comes I'll let you guys know if it works in Samsung ultra (USA version).
Has a 6th March estimate shipping date.

Hi, it seems UFS hasnt the same form factor as MicroSd (+ different pins?) , so how could it work except if you could change the tray with sim+sd and theS20U has been designed for it?
Should be arriving tomorrow or day after, huge delays because of the virus etc. Ended up ordering from Korean seller on eBay as Samsung kept delaying, finger's crossed if it's legit plus actually works ?

Lol ok thanks. Thought you have disappeared after so long.
so I got the card today, and it sits in the micro SD slot just fine, but the phone sadly doesn't detect the card at all. tried all sorts of stuff but it wont detect it.
so that's that!

Just what i was guessing in post#12 , it s not the same pin design and interface , if i read correctly what i saw yesterday ufs cards should be for Note 20 : first Samsung's Smartphone with ufs3.1 Memory
to keep high speed rates with external memory , should be logical to give up SDcards and offer a slot for UFS cards in Galaxy Note 20

Thanks for trying and reporting back to us.
I know this isnt about UFS cards. Hopefully someone can answer. What is a decent large microsd for the s20 ultra 400-512gb. I've looked at the SanDisk, Lexpro, Samsung cards. Do any of them really work better than the other.? Is there a sweet spot in price/speed? Thanks
I have multiple cards Sandisk Extreme Pro 400gb, Sandisk extreme 400gb, Samsung Evo Plus 256gb and an older Samsung Evo 64gb however i still need to do some tests, i will post this here.

Lexar Professional 1800x MicroSDXC 128GB UHS-II is fast at a somewhat reasonable price.
U3 V90 cards are the fastest as of now, but some are ridiculously priced.
