What is a good and fast sdcard?

Sorry because I bumped this, but I've the same question.
I want to know which 128GB MicroSD fits the best in terms of quality and performance, with Mi A1.
Thanks!

I'm currently using a Sandisk Class 10 and it's quite good, but it's over 1 year old, there maybe better version out there. However, note that Mi A1 does not support 128GB sd card by default, you have to format it with the phone or install a kernel that supports Exfat. The only kernel working for me is Canting, I tried others like Moun or Extreme but neither of them worked.

You're trying to say that 128gig SD cards are supported only if formated to exFat right? Because according to GSMarena 128 gig cards are supported by default. I've also read that even 256 gig cards are supported.

I'm using 128GB Sandisk Extreme Pro V30 A2. It improves 4k recording. Also, I didn't have to format, I'm using it right out of the box.

Yeah, that's what I mean. To me, "support" means plug it in and it works without doing anything else. This is the only thing I hate with Mi A1, supports 128gb sd cards but do not support Exfat.

Could someone confirm if 256Gb is working on Mi A1?

I can confirm they do work, just search XDA forums here and you'll see threads about 256 GB cards working.

Thanks, friend. I've read a little around, but I found some interesting questions... and reported bugs.
1) Some people says our device should be able to support up to 2TB because of its technology, however 128GB was told because it was the standard in that moment.
2) Other people says SDcard size is reporting wrong size and free space (telling that Oreo and Pie is reporting the double of the real size of those cards).
So, my idea is to know what's the true around this, if this is a problem related to the type/category of the SDcard itself, or if this is related only to Stock ROM (Don't know if this is happening on custom ROMs also).
I don't know what causes that bug, but I also want to know what's the true maximum size Mi A1 allows, and under which conditions.
I want to buy a large sized SDcard, trying to reach the limit that device allows, but I can't try it before buying it ($$$$)
My idea is to keep it as internal storage, unless you have a better idea.
Thanks in advance!

From what I read, the double bug only happen when the card is used as internal storage.
Is the size bug happening only with cards bigger than 128GB or also 128? Because if bigger sdcards cause issues, I would save myself the money and just buy 64GB or something.

It's not possible to use a 8GB SD becuase it use the HC (hight capacity) standard. The prophet card reader support only "normal" sd cards and not HC ones.

Not really. For example Samsung 8 GB SD claims to be both SD 1.1 and SD 2.0 compatible.

Never find an information like this...i've always read that 8 Gb sd and above is compliant only with Sd2.0 (SDHC).

This is why I am asking if anybody have actually used 8GB card in prophet, and not theories on why it shouldn't work. Treo users apparently were able to use SDHC cards just by updating driver.
For what it's worth, I've read that some HC cards will work in older SD readers, but that no more than 4GB will be accessible. I've also read that a driver update might be able to solve the problem.
I'm sure many will be ready to try it when a solution surfaces. Do any of the HTC units read the HC cards?
FYI, I was in contact with the Microsoft WM dev group that wrote the SD card code. They had yet to start writing code to support SDHC... I believe that was back in June/July.
My guess is that they might get it in to support WM6 devices. But for us, I think it's a lost cause. Oh well, save your money and wait for the dust to settle.
SDHC is such a fubar'ed standard anyways. 32 GB max??? We'll hit that in 3 years. Then another new standard? Gawd, what a waste.
I recently upgraded my phone to 2.3.3 from 2.1.
After upgrading, my phone no longer detected my 32GB SD.
I spent a lot of time researching the issue and found that most people just went to a smaller card like I did.
I went out and bought a 4GB card.
After loading my phone up with apps and audio and images, 4GB was not enough.
So, here is how I resolved this...
I downloaded HPUSBDisk.exe which is an HP USB format tool.
Copied the content of my 4gb micro to my PC/Laptop.
I inserted my 32GB micro SD into a "micro sd USB adapter"...
Format the SD using the HP USB format tool (FAT).
Copy the contents from the 4GB to the 32GB.
When I placed the 32GB into the phone and powered it up it was now recognized.
weird, I own a 16GB card and never had problems with 2.3.3
actually never heard about this problem until today

16 GB are not really a issue.
I use a 32gb from Kingston and have no issues. ??? Think maybe it's not the memory size that is the problem. Maybe it got corrupted? I had that problem on a smaller card on a round of back to stock while playing around with ROMs and such. Formatted it on PC and all was fine... think it was 8? Was a while a go. But I've heard of it happening while updating, read about it after I had the issue with the card that came with my x10.

1. X10i officially supports cards by a capacity no more than 16 Gb. However, most cards 32 Gb work normally too.
2. A card can be formatted by standard facilities of Windows, it is important only, that a clustersize was 32 Kb

I have an X10a... but whatever.
When I flashed my 32gb SD using Win7, regardless of the cluster size, it would not work in my phone. Period.
I am NOT the only one who has had this problem nor am I the only one who found success in my method.
The 32gb I have in my phone right now, was formatted using the HP Tool at 16kb...

FYI:
"Memory Phone memory up to 1GB

(obviously the original specs, mine came with 8GB)

Yes but quite a few cards seem to have bad compatibility.
I'm curious if it's a certain class of cards that cause issues, or if it's certain vendors or brands? Do certain brands format them different and that causes the issue?
I researched what class was supported and bought a brand name (Kingston) that isn't high end but from a reputable business so I knew it wasn't fake. Bought a 32gb class 4 Kingston from Tiger Direct, popped it in and it worked fine. I put it in and tried it before transferring data to it.
I'm definitely not discounting the issue, but finding out WHY the issue is there is what I'm curious about.
i heard SDHC work the best but i'm idk the difference really, all i care about is the memory on the card

MY 16GB class 4 & 32GB class 6 KINGSTON both worked very well with no issue's.
Having the same problem!
I just upgraded my X10a to 2.3.3 and it's not detecting my 8gb SD card, I re-intalled the 2.1 android and the card worked fine, then I upgraded it again to 2.3.3 and formated the card, didn't work... I don't know what to do now!
Having a similar problem!
Hi, I've been having a problem with mi 8GB SD card, the thing is that I just Upgraded my X10 to 2.3.3, but it's not detecting the micro SD, it was working fine till I did the upgrade, so I took the card and plug it into the PC, it is working, then I tried changing the fortmat, didn't work either, so I changed it back to Android 2.1 and It got it working again, I tried one more time to upgrade to Android 2.3.3 and the problem persists, all the apps and features are working just fine, but the phone it's kinda useless without the microSD...
Anyone that knows what the problem might be, please reply, cuase it's very frustrating!!

The stock 8GB card in my x10 died quite fast.
They get scratched underneath easily.
Hate to bump up an old-ish thread. But I came across the following article and the pertinent quote from it is "We tested this card on some phones including Motorola Razr and Samsung Galaxy S2 and even on a year old Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and it works fine"
So it looks like this old dog was still able to use a 64GB micro sdxc card.
But at 110$ USD (cheapest I've found so far)... might not be worth it yet.

I'm really not certain about this, but their a limit on the size SD card our hd2's can support. (Either 16 or 32gb which is what I'm uncertain of) try formatting your new SD card into two 16 gb partitions and then see what happens.
Hopefully either that helps or someone with more knowledge than I will comment and give you a better answer

Well the limit is definitely not 16gb because I have one of those and it works fine in Android but it for some reason cannot boot SD Android. Also, if I'm not mistaken MarkAtHome (I've seen him in many of the NAND threads, especially NexusHD2) has a 64GB SDXC card as he was posting something about that a while ago. He'd have to confirm though.

Where did you get your memory card?? You son are a victim of false advertisement. I purposely purchased a "cheap" 16GB sd card from ebay and it wasnt even bigger than like 300MB. There are ways to fake the memory size, and thats why when you try to put the music on your card is says its not there because there truly isnt any physical memory available. And also why it gives those weird readouts. Sorry to bust the news :/

There have been threads discussing how certain sd cards do not perform well in android devices, including the HD2. It has to do with some of the access times the cards are rated at.
I have tested a 32gb patriot class 10 card in the HD2 and samsung vibrant that made both phones freeze and run terribly slow until the card was removed.
Sandisk cards run flawlessly in the HD2 and I have only been using them for the past year, including a 32gb and a 64gb SDXC. The 64gb must be formatted as fat32 inside the phone before it can be used, but the full 64gb is available.

I agree with elesbb. Infact the same thing had happened to me about 4 years ago. What they do it put a memory hack in the SD card fooling it to think there is more memory. I would say if you bought it from ebay contact the seller first and
tell them you think it might be fake and you wish to get a real card asap. If they don't send you one or sound like they may be un-willing to then you should report them. Here's some information found on ebay's site about fake memory cards.
If you bought it from a different online seller you should still contact them about it and say you did some research and believe you recieved a counterfit item. In the link i shared above there are a few examples of how to spot fake cards including some pictures if you go through the links. I've read somewhere that if you have a sandisk and the class rating is in the corner then you more then likly have a counterfit one. Sandisk's class ratings should be centered in the middle of the SD card.
Okay, i've just sent email to him, hopefully he will just re-send me new, (working..?) or give money back!

As far as I know you can't move apps to SD card
That`s the reason I didnt buy yet Note 4. The internal storage is too little for this flagship.
No one`s know if will be in the next 2-3 months a 64GB ?? More I cannot wait.
The 64gig models are usually very rare because Samsung takes its sweet time to release them and when they do, its in very little quantity. If you are desperate to load 10+ huge games on your device, just move everything else to the microSD and commit your internal just for these apps. 32GB is enough really...
Maybe for you, the internal storage is used better for 4k recording, with microSD it lags sometimes (or when I modify [they are some hacks already] the bitrate to higher I dont want to think what can happen to a microSD)
Hi! I have a question. I would like to purchase a 128 GB MicroSD card for my sgs4 running CM13 nightlies and split the memory card into 2 partitions and through that way have more memory than what Samsung says it can manage. Am I needed to do it this way or can the CM rom handle it anyway?

I don't see the point in splitting. Any sd card will work with the s4. It's just that when the s4 came out 64gb was the maximum size of a sd card. 128gb will work fine.
Can i split it and use one partition with the internal storage function and the other as Portable storage

I don't think it's infinite. At some point micro sdcards will change technology in order to achieve higher speeds and bigger storage capacity. At that point there will be a compatibity issue.
