Using a 64GB Sandisk card in mine. Just format it to Fat32 first to avoid problems others are reporting.

SanDisk and Samsung 64GB cards are good to go. Samsung is faster a bit. :good:

This maybe s reason to strange problems.

All cards dont have this issue...only some do. Mine works fine as well... never any issues.

" The problem affects "a very small percentage of 32GB and 64GB SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSD cards," says the memory card manufacturer. Various forums have reported the problem, including the*official SanDisk forum."Under certain circumstances the cards may lock up and the card becomes inaccessible," SanDisk continues, adding, "the issue has been identified and a manufacturing fix has already been put in place."

Yeah, move along- nothing to see here.
I've got 3 each of the SanDisk 32 and 64GB SD-Card and have yet to have any of them fail; as others have pointed out, I guess the OP didn't see the words "small percentage of ... cards".
I don't have an issue with my 32gb micro sdhc ultra but I do have issues with 2 sandisk flash drives note being recognized in windows 7 x64 when Kies is running.

In the linked thread on CNet there are almost as many posts "complaining" about cards from other manufacturers - the most of these about Samsung cards!!
FWIW I have two Sandisk 64gb cards and they both work fine. I just take care that they have been formatted correctly.
Makes sense. I had 2 32gb class 10 SanDisk cards die in my Note 2. Switched to a 64gb Samsung class 10 & no issues.

i only have a sandisk 32gb class 6 and works fine with my note10.1, have not experienced any problems with it, except the slow transfer being a class 6.
might upgrade to 64gb class 10 when its already full. at the moment, im just using around 8gb on it.

That is exactly what happens when people don't do the research . There is 2 different cards ( I forgot exactly how to tell them apart I think one Has little I sign on the card and one don't ) One of them is Specifically designed with digital cameras in mind and another one is Specifically designed for smartphones . And people don't look at that , they look at price . Oh and don't get me started on class . People buy class 2 card because it's cheaper and they wonder why it's not recording high-def video . DOH !!

... and too bad that doesn't matter in the least for our purposes.
Sorry, but that distinction has to do with speed and power usage; ALL Micro-SD cards have to perform according to (E)MMC specs and all Linux kernels are designed to handle all versions of the spec.
brought a 32gb sandisk 3 months ago and its been fine so far, i would buy a samsung micro sd but they are much more expensive than sandisk and never in stock when i want to buy one (they must be good cards if they are always out of stock)
Mine died in my note 10.1

I bought that one and a USB 3.0 microsdxc card reader that supports UHS-1 speeds. While, the s4 will supposedly work with their own card, you won't get the higher read/write speeds on the s4, but you will on your pc.
Sort of a pain to take the card out and stick it in the usb 3 card reader, but for 64gb and you're trying to transfer large video files - may be easier, I suppose
I am wanting to buy a 64gb memory card and have looked at san disk however I have had one which corrupted on my note 2 so am concerned.
Has anyone used the 646gb sandisk class 10 with the new s4 ??

Same here, I had 2 Sandisk SD cards 32GB and both of them got corrupted on MY S3, I don't know is was a bad production or not but the truth is that is very disappointing.
Some people say that rooting phones corrupts the SD card forever, Dunno is its true, Any way I think i will give it a shot on sandisk again for my new S4.
Peace :good:

[Q] Is the samsung 64GB woring well with i9500?

Hey,
i really need your help on this one.
i've bought a new SanDisk microSD 64gb,
but the problem is that the card is not working well with my SGS4 i9500,
according to other users of SGS4 and this specific sd card, this is a common problem with this card in this phone.
so i decided to sell it and buy another one who will work better with the phone.
I heard that the Samsung Plus 32GB Class10 UHS-1
works fine with this phone, but i want to buy the Samsung 64gb pro.
can anyone confirm that the 64GB is working well too like his small brother 32GB?
or, is there any recommendation for another microSD card with this amount of storage?
thanks a lot for anyone who will help me with this..
Have a look in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302717
Many people stating which of their 64gb microsd cards work, so I suppose you could get a recommendation from there.
P. S. Noticed one guy even states that he uses the Samsung 64gb UHS-1 card that you are considering to buy, with no problems.

[Q] Which Note 3 compatible 64GB Micro SD Card to get?

I've read mixed results with the overall Samsung Galaxy series of phones and Sandisk micro sd cards.
I was thinking of getting this 64GB Class 10 card:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/SanDisk-64GB-microSD-Class-10-Ultra-Card/23350707
But didn't know what/if any the current people already with Note 3s are using. Some people say to stick with the Samsung 64GB version as there are issues with some phones only being able to read exFat.
I just wanted to make sure that the card I buy actually works with the Note 3 when it arrives and not have to deal with returns and buying multiple makes/manufacturers of cards until I find a working one that lets me use all 64GB.
Thanks!

From what I read 64GB is the max that the Note 3 can handle at the moment, and having 96GB of data storage capability is pretty damn snazzy to me :victory:

I agree, get the Samsung card. Though this is the correct link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009SK57ZQ/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
the other link was for the normal-sized sd card.

Maaan, you're getting the world's most fastest advanced phone that has not 1, 2, 3 but 4 world firsts on it (4K recording, 3GB ram, MicroUSB 3.0, 24bit audio), the bleeding edge of technology, and you put a ultra 64gb class 10 card in there? forget about it...step up to the big boys, you have to get this one...
(won't let me link, i removed it, but google "world's fastest microsd" and it's a sandisk card)
Its the Sandisk Extreme 64GB MicroSD card...it's the world's fastest sd card, it's stats are 80MB read, 50MB write, but actual tests have shown 96MB read,.and 61MB write, which destroys any other class 10 sd card...class 10 is 10MBps, this card is hitting 5 to 9 times that depending on read/write
Look at this review
(I cant believe they wont let me link, its by legit reviews, just google it)
It's perfect for 4K recording, USB 3.0 transfers, etc..
With those read speads you won't see the lag the ultra 64gb card have when you open gallery, and i know because i had one in my note 2 and it took a bit for it to load all my pics, bet it doesn't with this behemoth...Im selling my ultra and pony up the difference for the $99 extreme
The fastest microsd card in the world for the fastest phone in the world...perfect match...
I would say NO to sandisk cards. Had a 64 gb class 10 ultra high speed in my note 2 and got all sorts of crashes.
Put it in my laptop and yepee..lost all files...

That is the Ultra, which Sandisk as already acknowledged there was an issue and was working with customers for exchanges, they do have a lifetime warranty, this is a different microsd card, probably different parts altogether due to it's speed

thinking shoild get Samsung MicroSDHC Pro 64GB or Sandisk Extreme MicroSDHC 64GB.

never heard of it?
from samsung or sandisk?
I had been a Sandisk loyal user until my S4 which caused hiccups, lags, mysterious file disappearance, random reboots, unable to transfer large files and many more.....
I then switched to Transcend MicroSD on my S4 and all the above problems disappeared. I've been using an old 8GB Sandisk on my Note 3 and so far haven't experienced any problems yet. I am awaiting for the 128GB Microdisk SDHC coming out soon and really make use of that 1080p screen.

[Q] (Q) Best micro sd card for note 3?

I just purchased the Samsung 64gb class 10 sdxc pro micro sd card but I'm having transfer issues. Files are disappearingnd becoming corupted. I tried formatting but I'm getting the same thing. Movies won't play, but everything works fine on my Samsung 32gb class 4 UH-1. Just can't get it to work on my 64gb.

Questions like these will just invoke peoples opinions and everybody has one. Nobody will be able to tell you what is "best". They all work good and the same. Samsung make cards just fine. So does PNY, Lexar, Kingston,Transcend,etc. Me personally, I stay with the major brands. You should be fine if you do so.Sounds like you just might have a bad card.Take it back and exchange it for something else.

I am a fan of Sandisk cards. Used a 64GB micro in this phone and then moved onto a PNY card which is what currently is in my Note now. There is another thread somewhere in here, maybe Accessories, that has a great deal on MicroSD cards from Best Buy and Amazon. I would start to look this week at getting a card cause you probably can get one for a steal being that this is Black Thursday/Friday.

Basically, I'm trying to decide between a Samsung 64gb Pro sdxc class 10 or a Sandisk Extreme sdxc class 10, which is like $25 more. Am I wasting my money going the more expensive route? Will my phone even show the difference?
I was having problems with my 16 and 32G samsung cards in my note 2, when i got my note 3 i went with a 64G sandisk (had an amazon gift card to use up) and have nothing but good things to say. I tried my 32G samsung in the note 3 as well and it was hit or miss kinda like your describing
It's hit or miss. My 32 gb sandisk class 10 just stopped working last night, lost everything on the card. Im probably going with a samsung card next. There are many reports of samsung devices ruining memory cards, especially sandisk brand.

I went ahead and bought the SanDisk extreme. Just had it for a couple hours and my phone seems to be running hot. I'll keep you guys updated.
I have a Sandisk 64gb card. It did crap out on me but they replaced it and so far so good. I've never had a problem with Micro Center cards but as of right now the biggest they have is 32gb. That's my backup in case my 64gb Sandisk craps out again.

Been running my Sandisk Extreme 64gb for a couple of days and it has not beengiving me any giving me any problems. Everything is running smooth. It doesn't seem lightning fast but it's pretty fast. Nothing impressive on my benchmark but I got it for free. If I had to pay money, I think I would go Samsung pro.
I got 22read, and 13.9 write on my PNY that I bought for $27.
