Tab S 8.4 Max Memory Card Size - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well when it first came out (the tab s 8.4) only 128gb micro SD cards were the largest available.
So my question, can we assume that any micro SD XC 1 card will work fine in this tablet?
I ask because I stumbled upon this 200GB card now available.
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-micro..._UL160_SR160,160_&refRID=00EQDPJ5PMBTHB0A266Q
Or is this tabs card slot locked some how to only except up to 128GB max?

If the Tabs S works with XC 1 cards have an 128gb one and it works fine, I suppose an 200gb that is XC 1 should work as well as an guess.

Can anyone recommend a card with decent speed?
I'm using Sandisk 32 GB and the transfer speed sucks... avg around 10mb/s when transfering files from my tablet to PC via USB cable.

Get the biggest card you can afford, a 64gb or 128gb, I only ever buy Samsung flash cards for years for my camera`s phones and tablets, I all do a exhaustive error test when i get them and i have never found an error or had one fail, So i don't have any experience of other brands but Sandisk is a good brand.
I just bought an Samsung 128GB Evo+ the other day for £36 and i am just about finishing the error testing, It is showing a write speed of 20.46mb/s and a read speed of 63.56mb/s these are just basic number using an USB 3.0 card reader on my notebook, I have an crystal disk mark test results if you want to see them.
My T800 10.5" has formated my Samsung 128GB EVO+ as ExFat file system, benchmarks should really be run with the card in your Tab S for real world results.
John.

Thanks! Time to test out Samsung sd cards then.

Highly recommended Samsung evo cards. Its all I use now. Good value for money.

A few speed test reviews on Amazon say the Samsung 128GB EVO+ is not very good as the 4K file write speed is very low, But i dont write anything that small, even ebook files or mp3 files are hundreds of mb/s
Below are benchmark run on my Notebook using an USB 3.0 card reader.

I will post a couple of benchmarks with the Samsung 128GB EVO+ in my T800 EDIT: Write speed seems to be limited to 34mb/s i wonder if this af fast as the card reader can go, as other tests have show tha same slow read speed
John.

I personally never had any issues with Sandisk. I have really old Sandisk cards laying around (64mb) and they still work fine.
I'm actually scared to try a different brand with the good luck I have had with Sandisk.

I am in the US but this is what I am using now. The 32gig one. Go with the biggest you can afford to be honest. Make sure its class 10. Always buy from an official Sandisk seller on Amazon to avoid fakes.

Just got a 16gb Class 10 SD card

I just received my 16gb class 10 microSD today. I got it from Buy.com
http://www.buy.com/prod/oem-16gb-16...class-10-card-reader/q/loc/101/220244316.html
It was $32 after tax.
It comes with an adapter and a reader, which basically looks like a little usb flash drive that you put your memory card into and then plug into the usb port.
So far, no problems with it. It is actually like 14.9gb, but I guess thats just how it goes. It's been holding and managing files well, but I don't really know how to accurately test it. I've been downloading a lot of songs and pictures, taking pictures and video, moving files around, deleting things, and its handling everything, no errors.
Just one more update...
The card is still working well. No problems what-so-ever. If you're looking for a good LEGIT 16gb card, this one is a good deal.
I've just noticed that nobody really follows up on a review for batteries or sdcards, they only talk a lot.

Most people are looking for speed tests to validate a card being the class that it claims. Since there are so many ones that tend to exaggerate their speeds.
Perhaps run a speed test on the card and post the results. You can find some freeware ones doing a Google search. I personally have used Crystal Disk Mark and it worked fine.
http://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalDiskMark/index-e.html
You could try SD tools app. I bought a class 4 16g sandisk.
I modified the read ahead to 2048 but didn't do a test before dunno if it helped

ok hows this? I didnt change any sd card/storage settings.
That's niiice
Looks nice...I might have to buy one because I think my POS Wintech 16gb cl10 card is starting to fail on me.
My 8 gig class two that I've had through two completely different phones and countless downloads and erasing files as well as a few reformats has similar speeds after using SD speed boost...I've hit higher but scaled it back as I was afraid of hurting it.
Post a pic, lets see what urs comes in at.

That's quite a price. I prefer Kingston but you can only get a 16gb Class 4 for that price.

Awesome. I tested my slow 8GB card and it doesn't even come close to that. Just bought one of these. Thanks for the speed test. Hopefully mine is as fast.
I just bought this today and hopefully it will be here by the end of the week. I will post some screenies of my speed test when it comes in as well. If mine has this same speed this is a great deal for anyone looking for a 16gb card. Anyone else who bought this should post some screenshots of their speedtest results on this card. The more we have verify the speeds the more likely we will know whether this is good or just a gimmick or just luck of the draw on speed.
Bought one of these for my 2nd EVO today. Will post speeds when SD card received and tested. I have a 32GB Class 10 in my 1st EVO and it screams but don't need quite that much storage capacity in 2nd EVO. Hope it turns out to be a good buy with great speed.
so i just did a test on my class 2 card i bought from frys, i get a 10 mb/s write but only a 5 mb/s read. this probably explains all the time i have to wait for my pictures to load in my gallery.

32GB Micro SDHC Class 10 Samsung vs Lexar

Hi guys I've found many benchmarks for the Lexar card, but nothing for Samsung
Can anyone comment?
I've already placed an order on the Samsung, but I didn't see the Lexar on the website till just now.
Update: I just cancelled the order as it's awaiting stock, placed an order for the Lexar for now.
The only difference between the 2 products bundled items is that Samsung give an SD card adapter, and Lexar give a micro sdhc usb reader. And Samsung boast sea water/shock proof.
I'll be using it in my 32gb asus transformer prime
Here's the 2 links:
ww w.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/18934088/Lexar-32GB-Micro-SD-HC-memory-card-with-Reader-Class-10/Product.html?searchtype=allproducts&searchsource=0&searchstring=32gb+micro+sd+class+10&urlrefer=search

Thanks in advance (remove the space after ww w.)
I own that Samsung Micro SDHC 32GB Class 10.
I already made two post about in in another thread Post 1 / Post 2
One the left side my own benchmark, on the right benchmark from someone else.
As you can see, the Lexar is rubbish compaired to the Samsung.

Soon as you receive the card, use H2testw 1.4 to test the card ( it will take some time ). If the card fails then contact the seller for a refund. If you have problems then open a dispute with Paypal ( hope you paid using Paypal ).
http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2...standard-in-detecting-usb-counterfeit-drives/
The seller is top-rated 99.99%, I doubt it is fake.
I own this card and the image looks real. Ridicilously cheap though.

Another 32GB Class 10 option
I found the lexar 32GB Class 10 one quite good.
Plus it comes with a free reader for that extra boost of speed coping stuff to/from it from the computer.
Search for "Lexar 32GB Micro SDHC High Speed Card with Reader - Class 10 Extreme Speed" to find it
I bought that 32Go Samsung Class 10 microSD card, and it works really fine, with 10 in writing and something like 20-25 in reading.

another method u can check and find out if the card is real or fake is if u download sd card tester from goople play and that will also tell u wether its a real card or a fake 1 by validating the write and reading speeds.

SanDisk memory

Hello, I have been using the Sandisk ultra 64GB on my Galaxy Note 2 for a year. It is very nice except that at one point, it took a long time for the photos to be listed and that it looked like the files were corrupted (the device displayed something rather than the photos).
For the Note 10,1 2014, which SanDisk 64GB memory do you recommend? Now they sell the Extreme and Extreme Pro. Not sure if the device could take advantage of the speed.
By the way, can the Note Pro 12.2 read/write faster than the Note 10.1, 2014? Still drawn between the devices but I need to buy soon. Thanks.
The 12.2 should be identical to the 10.1, except for size. Both may profit from cards up to HC 1 UHS 2. SDXC cards just became available with HC/UHS support, making them finally as fast as the smaller SDXC ones(<32gb).

From Sandisk website, the onlu 64GB cards for these two devices are:
http://pct1.sandisk.com/ProductList.aspx?DeviceID=21306
1. SanDisk Extreme Plus microSDXC UHS-I Card 64GB
SDSDQX-064G-A46A
2. SanDisk Extreme® microSDHC™/microSDXC™ UHS-I Card_64GB
SDSDQXL-064G-A46A
Where can I find the HC 1 UHS 2?
There are probably none yet. It's a faster class, and there's a new HC 2 standard, also starting with Uhs 1, with a Uhs 2 to follow later.
But this will need a second row of contacts in the sd slot.
I have been using the Sandisk Ultra 64gb Class 10 in both my Notes.. No problems. The point is, could my two Notes notice the extra speed of the Extreme over the Ultra? I think not, just an opinion, and before I spend TWICE as much something, I want to know if I will get TWICE the performance.
No doubt the Extreme is faster, but, I have no issues with the two Ultras.. There is a BIG price difference from the Ultra to the Extreme.. Almost twice the cost...
I don't know the bus transfer limit of the sd slot. Once this is known, you will at least profit during writes from cards with an ultra fast flash controller, as the Note should be able to handle writes as fast as reads. Probably even faster, if the internal flash limits.
Don't waste your money. I bought a SanDisk Extreme 64GB for this tablet and the speed is an ABSOLUTE SHAME.
I only get this:
R:21.54MB/s
W:19.49MB/s
Just use A1 SD Bench and verify yourself.
This is what it should be like:

Which SDCard?

Not having a Sony before, do they have issues with certain brands/speeds, I know the Motorola phones used to be picky about which cards they would accept, can anyone recommend a decent card type for the Z3c please.
I'm using sandisk uhs-i 64 gb card in my xperia z ultra. No problems so far.

Good news, I've just ordered the SanDisk SDSDQU-064G-FFP Ultra 64 GB Class 10 Micro SD Card
I have used the same 64GB card in my Galaxy Note and Xperia Z and never had any problems, so you should be good to go!:good:
Used both 64 and 128gb sandisks on z1c with out issue.
Other then the fact any android 4.4.4 devices deny any non system apps write access to the sd (until root+xposed at the very least is applied.)
Is somebody able to confirm if external SDcard encryption is an option in the settings?
Inserted a Samsung 32GB Class 10, no issues.
Samsung 64GB EVO here. No problem.
Does anyone know the fastest card that this phone supports? I am willing to shell out the cash for one of those UHS cards like the SanDisk extreme pro or extreme plus, but only if this phone will be able to take advantage of the speed.
