microSD speed 4 Tab S - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

what is the speed of Tab S card slot?
I'm going to buy a microSD card and I don't know what speed should I take:
30, 50, 80 or 90 MB/s?
I don't care how fast I can copy files from PC. I just wonder what is the maximum speed of read/write by Tab S?

I dont unfortunatley have technical speeds of how quick it copies but i found that mine. Could happily copy 2GB files from internal to my UHS1 64GB sd card from samsung pretty quickly, within 1 minute.

So it is about 33MB/s. Class 10 is not enough.
So minimum Sandisk extreme?
http://www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd/

I guess depends if you can get a UHS-2 or 3 that a tab s can make the most of? Just used A1 SD Bench and got 30 MB/s write and 13MB/s read (edit. Other way round). It is a UHS-1 samsung micro sd card. Possibly a samsung EVO or SanDisk extreme.

I have the Lexar 64gb 600x micro sdxc class 10 UHS-I 90mb/s, I have had it about 4 months now and it was previously in my Samsung Galaxy S4. I have never met transfer speeds as fast on any other microsd I have used before, nor have I been met with such stability. I have one of these cards in my Samsung Galaxy Tab S for storing any media (books, music and movies) and haven't had any issues still. I also have another in my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 I which I play music from every single day.
As I said, I have had the card for a few months now, and I have used it in 3 different devices, all with outstanding performance. The origin SanDisk microsd cards I purchase (2x 32Gb micro sdhc ultra) I had to return 3 times before I had a reasonably stable working product. I am not dissing SanDisk nor promoting Lexar. I just want to share the experiences I have had recently.
I hope this helps. Message me if anyone has a question.

Can you make a speed test in A1 SD Bench and post results (Tab S)?

A1 SD test results.
The first picture is the test results from my lexar 64gb sdxc 600x UHS-I
The second picture is a comparison using SanDisk Ultra 32gb sdhc.
Testing device is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S (SM-T700).

[Q] Which SD Card to go with out of these 2?

Hi all,
I've currently been using a 16GB Sandisk Class 4 MicroSD in my Note, and that's filling up, and I'm planning to switch to a 32GB card.
BUT, there's 2 I'm stuck against choosing between.
This one is a 32GB Class 4 card by SanDisk:
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...0&searchtype=allproducts&ob=4&urlrefer=search
But this one is a 32GB Class 10 card by Play.com:
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/21619964/0/Play-com-32GB-Micro-SD-SDHC-Memory-Card-Class-10/ListingDetails.html?searchtype=allproducts&searchSource=1&searchfilters=ae63{Play.com}+&urlrefer=search
Which should I go for?
If you want more speed: Class 10
If you want more money: Class 4
I used a 32gb class 10 previously and now the 64gb SanDisk class 6.
While I did like the speed and filling up the new one took it's time, I do prefer volume over speed.
The 64gb gives me so few worries over space, and once my "permanent" media was on it I am in gb-heaven.
But then, to me the space was the priority.
If you have the need for speed, a fast 32 may fit you better, or you can wait until 64 gets fast.
Also keep in mind that you can buy a fast 32, a 2 dollar usb otg cable on Amazon and a big thumb drive for less than the price of a 64. But that is a clunky solution.
I prefer the big card.

Why dont yo go for a 32 GB Sandisk Ultra (Class 6) Memory card. It has a good performance.
If in any case you need to buy a class 10 card go for transcend/kingston or even Samsung
i suggest you to buy patriot class 10

[Q] MicroSDHC

I have 8 class 8GB microsdhc card and works fine. No problems. Writing speed is aprox. 4,2 MB/s if it helps.
I have 8GB class 6 microsdhc and it works fine.
I had the same question...but I directly approached the Samsung guys...they told me that for sg3 microsdhc cards up to class 6 are supported. Above classes will work but not at their optimal speed.
.: cheers:.

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.
64gb C10

there's no such thing as too large of a mem card,
if u have the money then go for the 64gb C10
Does the Note come with a card already installed? I just ordered this morning but have 32Gb SanDisk. I was going to get 64Gb SanDisk and leave 32Gb in my Motorola Photon. If Note comes with card already installed, if lesser I will put that in Photon and sell it

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.

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!

Sandisk MicroSD EXTREME

Does anyone have to use the device Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini - Card Sandisk MicroSD EXTREME?
The fact that my answer came from a corporation that Sandisk EXTREME cards are not suitable for the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini:
We have checked and found out that your device Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini phone is compatible with the card 64GB Ultra micro SD, but not with the card SanDisk 64GB 80MB / s UHS-1 Extreme micro SD, for which you asked.
There have been reports that some users had issues with power consumption when using certain 64GB microSD cards.
I'm not sure if the line of cards are those you have specified but I doubt the device will be able to hit 80MB/s anyway so you would be purchasing an over-speced card for the phone.
card
its not the 64gb card version but i am using the 32gb extreme by sandisk without any problems?
The users were fine with the 32 but had issues with the 64. Not sure what's up

Micro SD Card Capacity

The spec for the Tab S4 states the memory is "expandable up to 400GB via microSD card".
Has anyone tried to install a 512GB micro SD card?

Thank you. Much appreciated.
Just a heads up, most OEM's only list the sd cards available at the time of launch. This is a proven fact that this size works but how can you say a 2 tb card will work if it hasn't been tested?
They will NEVER state that a higher card will work if it hasn't been tried as this is false advertising and can lead to being sued if later it turns out to be false.
Best advice, theoretical limit of SDXC is 2 Tb, if your phone/tablet can handle a 64gb sd card it should be able to handle anything up to that, beware of format though (FAT32, exFAT OR NTFS) as some devices are limited by software...
And this has been discussed before....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s4/accessories/best-memory-card-t3937631
Per that thread, Ultramag also has a 512gb card
And I've used an external 1TB hard drive without problems; the system sees it as a USB storage drive. Only complication is that it is NTFS. How I wish NTFS played better with Android.
I've gone back and forth on which brand to go with for 512MB; most reviews suggests SanDisk Extreme has the best performance (higher read speeds + equal write speeds), but it is nearly twice the cost of Samsung, PNY, and others ($160ish vs $90ish). I wish I could get a 1 TB SanDisk, but way outside my price zone. I'm planning on going with PNY once my CC rewards Amazon card gets delivered.

So I got my new card. I couldn't be happier. My write speed has gone from 15 MB/s to 50 MB/s. Read speed is 80MB/s.
My old card:
SanDisk 400GB Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - up to 100MB/s read speed and no write speed specified, Class 10, U1, Full HD, A1
My new card:
PNY U3 Pro Elite MicroSD Card - 512GB, Class 10, U3, V30, A2, up to 100MB/s read speed and up to 90MB/s write speed
I don't pretend to fully understand all the techno babble related to micro SD cards -- U-This, V-That, Class-Whatever, Up-To-Speed that isn't attainable in real life. But this is noticeably faster for transferring from internal memory to the external card.
Go for the highest speed ratings you can -- it is worth it.
Joe
FYI, because I read $160 for a 512GB card, I just bought a SanDisk Extreme 400GB at Amazon.de (ASIN B07FCQRN9K, sold and shipped from Amazon) for EUR 74. It's back at EUR 99 right now, but I bet it will some down again before Christmas. Also the Samsung 512GB 100MB/s (U3) MicroSDXC Evo Select (ASIN B07MKSGZM6) is at $65 right now. That's the same card as the Samsung Evo Plus, it's just a rebrand for Amazon. It has pretty lousy *random* write speeds, and thus no A1 or A2 rating, but is fine for sequential writes, so if you're worried about copying larger files from internal storage, it should be just as fast as a SanDisk Extreme doing that.
And I just see that amazon.com has the 400 GB extreme for $78 right now, so if you don't strictly need the extra 112 GB, you can save the extra 50-60 bucks. So these days, if you aren't setting your mind on a specific model you can get good value for the money.
