I've read that with Samsung Phones, Samsung SD cards work perfectly with.
but which one? Samsung Pro Plus or Evo Plus? is there any limitations on what SD card I can put on the s7?
Evo Plus has Read: 80MB/s Write: 20MB/s
Pro Plus has Read: 95MB/s Write: 90MB/s
Price doesnt matter.
thanks
I just bought a pny elite performance card from pcworld. £39.99 tested at 68MB/s read 52MB/s write in the s7. Will do for now!
Samsung Pro Plus is one of the fastest card out. Last week Samsung had the 64GB for $35. I'm waiting on for that price. No rush for me to get one.
Samsung Pro Plus or you can get the 128GB Lexar 1800x that has fast UHS-I speed like the Samsung yet also has support for UHS-II for *much faster* speed when using the card with external USB3 for transferring files. Am using the Lexar 1800x INSIDE the phone and transferred many GBs of files fast. Naturally if I used the card outside the phone environment (read: in the USB 3.0 adapter) it would have been about 2x to 3x faster. The Lexar 1800x is the fastest card out there right now, will handle the next gen when phone support UHS-II, and... if you're like me and have the need for speed
They also make a 64GB version.

Awesome can you post your read write speeds? I was considering this card. It was this or the new Sandisk with UHS-II.

A site says, "The Lexar 1800x microSD card was tested in several UHS-I and UHS-II card readers. In UHS-II card readers the 1800x microSD card reached 272.3 MB/s sequential read speed, just passing its 270MB/s quoted read speed. Sequential write speed measured 222.2 MB/s, slightly less than the 245 MB/s rating. In UHS-I card readers, the 1800x card reverted to UHS-I mode and was limited to 96.5 MB/s read and 77.5 MB/s write speeds. Still fast, but not quite as fast as the fastest UHS-I microSD cards." Have not tested it in the phone yet it seems very fast.
Here's another site review diff than the one above http://www.realhardwarereviews.com/lexar1800x/7/

PS: If you never see yourself using UHS-II and just keeping the card in the phone then the Samsung card is probably best bang for buck. I move some big files around (pro video and pro audio both in pure lossless) so being able to use the card via USB 3.0 makes life easier plus the next gen of phones might support UHS-II and thus I can keep the existing data on card and not have to data migrate.

I actually want to know what kind of speed the S7 gets with this card in it. From some other post I read someone was saying the reader in the S7 is not that great.
I did a test and it was around 70 read and 60 write. Seems the bottleneck might be the phone as saw another test with the SanDisk Extreme Pro on XDA and it was about the same speeds. Keep in mind that, for me, Lexar 1800x will also be used outside the phone environment so the UHS-II will be very useful. YMMV.
What happens when you insert an 256GB Sd
Officially Samsung says we can expand upto 200GB of external storage but unless Samsung intends to make 200GB Sd card, there aren't any of those kinds in the market. i want to take full advantage of the expandable memory but 126Gb won't be enough so your opinions would help greatly. Can pop in a 256Gb Sd card
So I went and bought the Samsung Pro Plus 32GB. hopefully comes here before my S7 Edge
Good choice of card. I have always used Samsung cards with no problems. Got my Edge yesterday. I've had a bunch of phones, including the latest Iphones and this tops them all easily. Enjoy.
This is all being discussed over in the accessories forum, we should probably continue the discussion over there...

Was going for a Class 6 Samsung micro SDHC, but a Microcenter store I went to was out, and they offered the "Pro" version (which is a UHS-1 for transfer speeds of up to 70mb/s for writing and 20mb/s for reading). I said right away that my phone might not be compatible, but I'd try it.
So here are my puzzling results after the installation:
AnTuTu Benchmark: Read: 12.0MB/s, Write: 3.3MB/s
SD Card Tester: Read: 11.2MB/s Write: 3.24MB/s
A1 SD Benchmark: Read: 224.04MB/s, Write: 4.31MB/s (not sure what's up with that read value...)
These are with MIUI GB ROM with Android 2.3.7
Are these low speeds the effect of the UHS-1 not being quite compatible, or is my system really just that slow that it bottlenecks the card so dramatically?
I'll be looking to get a Class 6 card, which I know is plenty sufficient.. Hopefully it will not have such low transfer speeds with my HTC HD2.
For comparison purposes, my old Kingston 4GB Class 4 card scores 3.2MB/s write and 9.1MB/s read.
P.S.: Pretty sure this is a legit Samsung card, given the vendor and the appearance of the card, including all the fine print and serial number on the back.
I just wanted to share some of the information i found.
I'm currently using Micro SD from Sandisk called Sandisk Extreme. The card have speed of 60mb/s Read and 40 mb/s Write. I used an app called A1 SD bench to test the card speed on my phone.
The result I got on my Note 3 was 19-21mb/s Read and 9-14mb/s write. As you notice even though my card should have higher numbers but I think the Micro SD reader slowing it down. Now that I have the Note 4 the result is amazing. I have 59.8mb/s Read and 38mb/s write. The numbers are very close to the advertised card speed which is great.
I though I will share this information just so you know that note 4 does benefit from higher micro sd card speed.

Damn! I knew I should have bought a faster card.
Thank you for the info!
I search around website but couldn't find the specific specs for the micro sd card reader for Shield TV. Does it support UHS-II? I am planning to purchase the Lexar 1800x and want to make sure if I can take full advantage of that card which support read speed up to 300MB/S. I'm also wondering about the writing and reading speed of original storage on 16GB version.
Nvm I contacted Nvidia support, only support UHS-I class 3.

by chance, did you ask what the maximum read/write speeds were for on the microsd slot?

I assume all the card reader of UHS-1 class3 should have same limit...based on the wiki the limit for that is 104 MByte/s.
I did some further research and seems like random writing and reading speed is actually more important than sequence speed. However, the review on amazon shows Samsung pro plus is best on both random and sequence speed so I guess I will just go with that for now. Laxer is actually only good at reading speed.

Based on this one ....San disk is better? I'm confused...

thats a pretty misleading article, there compairing a 128gb evo plus to other various sized cards. from what ive seen (so far) all premium 128gb cards have relatively low write speeds vs their smaller counterparts.
lexar's generally have the best sequential read/write speed, samsung's usually are better with random read/write, and sandisk is definitely solid too.
for example
lexar 64gb 633x sequential read/write 93.36 / 48.09 MB/s
lexar 128gb 633x sequential read/write 73.17 / 22.16 MB/s
results are basically the same for other manufacturers.

Definitely a fast card read/write was a bit faster than 80/40 MB/s iirc.
I haven't ran any legit benchmarks on shield yet, but regardless of the sd card i haven't really seen write speeds over 12-15 MB/s while transferring from internal to sd with file managers, ES specifically.
So im thinking internal storage isn't particularly fast, just like on the shield tablet. If i get bored I'll run some tests and see what I come up with
I haven't found a device that's not a camera that support this format yet.
^^ yeah pretty much. even if they call it out. real world speeds dont seem to get there. outside of HD cameras
The microsd reader is UHS-I so you will spend money for nothing. No matter how fast the external storage is you still depend on the speed of the internal storage which is gong to be the bottleneck when you run the OS and apps. 4K video needs 25Mbps and UHS-I can deliver easily. Same story if you read from USB 3 ports. I don't know the speed of the internal storage but it should be at the commercial level of the beginning of 2015.

What's your read/write speed with the pro plus? I got the same, I get 60~ r/w.
I ordered 500gb version...I did get the card for my phone lol but like 40s speed sad
Hi All,
I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if it's just to be expected. I have an S7 edge that I'm attempting to move apps to the SD card and they are just painfully slow, if they transfer at all. I'm using a Samsung Evo 128gb class 10 micro sd card. I've also tried a SanDisk 128gb Ultra class 10 card and it was really really slow. Is there some trick to speed this up? Am I using too beefy of a card? Any help is greatly appreciated!!
move the apps always has been slow even in class 10 sd cards, or at least thats what I remember.... but every other thing is just right

The speed of the external microsd card fully depends on the quality and the specs of the microsd card
itself. That's why some microsd cards are slow or super slow.
I have two 128GB microsd cards, one of them is Sandisk Extreme $80 model and it reads and writes
almost 5 times faster than my other off-brand $28 128GB microsdcard. Both microsd cards are class 10.
I am not talking about speed benchmarks, I am talking about real life transfer speeds under heavy usage..
I also have a 64GB off-brand $17 microsd card which is just as slow as my 128GB $28 off-brand microsd.
All 3 of my microsdcards were purchased at Amazon.com
Good luck,
Have a great day!
I have same problem here I have : https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00V62XBQQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And I go 13Mb/S Write and 60 MB/S Read
((((((
same here...
Just got my S7 and transferring speed from PC to external SD is extremely slow (I tried 64GB and 128GB sandisk class 10 which worked great on my last LG-G3...)
I also tried transferring from internal memory to external SD and it was still extremely slow..
Can it be HW problem (I can send it back for refund - but if it SW issue which can be fixed it would be a better)?
I need a 512gb MicroSD card. What's the fastest?
I'm using this one. Works well.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/accessories/memory-upgrade-time-t4155549
There are V60 cards but they're more expensive and not sure the 10+ would fully support the throughput.
Sandisk and Samsung make those two.
I like Lexar, used them for 15 years with no failures.
I'm using this Sandisk Extreme Its U3, V30, A2. Seems to work well.... https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FCQRN9K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Previously I was also using a Samsung EVO Select 256GB. While labled U3, its not marked V30 or A anything... But it was still fine for 4K video recording.
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0887P21Z2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I am using this. I have always used this brand
"Strontium Nitro A1 256GB Micro SDXC Memory Card 100MB/s A1 UHS-I U3 Class 10 with High Speed Adapter for Smartphones Tablets Drones Action Cams (SRN256GTFU3A1A)"
Still not sure what the max internal transfer bandwidth is.
Not speced out anywhere I can find.
I'm seeing about 1.5-2 gb @minute internal transfer rates.
My music 220 gb db is on the SD card... runs flawlessly.
