Best MicroSD Card? - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Trying to choose what MicroSD card to get for my Note 9
First is
Samsung Evo Plus 256gb
Link:- https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B06XFS5657/ref=cm_cr_othr_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1
Second is
SanDisk Extreme Plus 128gb
Link:-
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07FCMRBTM/ref=psdcmw_1345826031_t3_B07FCMKK5X?th=1&psc=1
Right away you'll notice one is 128gb & the other is 256gb this is because the storage isn't too important, 128 is enough, 256 is the same price..
However the SanDisk one is A2 certified & V30 certified which the Samsung one is not, also the SanDisk has a 170mb/s read Vs the Samsung's 100mb/s read
Will the A2 & V30 certification even make a difference on a Note 9?
Appreciate any help or opinions? Thanks

The impact between the Samsung SD & Sandisk is not so Big I guess. Anyway i have a pro SD card from Samsung in my Note 9 & what to Say? Works perfect.. but if you get more space for same price..i would recommend the Samsung anyway..

That depends on what you're going to store on the SD card. If it's music or data that's doesn't need lightning access, go for 256GB. You're getting 2x storage with same price. 100 mb/s read is not less either.
The premium cards with names like Extreme or Pro advertising more than a hundred MB/s speeds are useful for cases like 4K video recording or RAW (or burst shot) photography.
I assume your Note9 still has plenty of storage to do these stuff. You can always record or shoot photos on internal storage and can anytime move the older ones to SD card if you get low on storage.
As I have said, please do share the reason you're thinking about getting 100+ GB SD card.

Mainly high quality photo's, high quality videos, high quality music often .flac instead of .mp3 & possibly some movies..
You're correct assuming that my Note 9 has plenty of storage left I've only used 29gb out of 128gb, however I prefer to keep music, photos & videos on a removable storage
The reason I'm thinking about getting 100gb+ is because I already have 3 MicroSD cards full at this moment in time, they're 32, 32, & 16 so that is already 80gb in total, so a 64gb MicroSD wouldn't be much use, the next one up is 128gb...
I want to move all the contents of the 3 MicroSD cards & move them on to the 1, easy to manage my files that way
I often backup the MicroSD contents on to my PC twice a month, I'd want that to be fast as possible
It's my understanding that the V30 certification is for filming & saving 4K video directly on to the MicroSD right?, That wouldn't be too important as I'd film it on to my device first then move it later on..
However the A2 certification is regarding read speed right? Which is 170mb/s on the SanDisk compared to 100mb/s on the Samsung, how noticeable is the extra 70mb/s and it what circumstances?

Yes, V30 means the card can sustain continuous video recording at 30 MB/s. You said you're going to record on internal storage itself (and you should be) so that shouldn't matter much to you.
That enhanced write and read speed (with some caching and efficient performance) with A2 can give you higher speeds while backing up the data to your PC but it's just 1.7x with 0.5x storage (not mentioning other bottlenecks for maximum speed). I consider the 256GB to be having far more VFM. Your backup frequency will also get halved with double storage, no?
You can never go wrong with either of these. Premium memory cards like V30 are meant for professional video recorders and camera. Playing even 4K videos requires around 50 mbps and FLAC are under 1 mbps.
I think you should get double the memory for same the price!

Yes I'd record on internal so V30 can be forgotten about pretty much
Could I also expect bottlenecking on the Samsung 256gb?, & yes my backup frequency would probably be reduced to once a month with the increased space
Yeah the V30 certification would definitely make a difference to me if I was using a professional camera etc. But as it's my Note 9 & I'd be saving to internal, I don't necessarily need it
I'll probably end up going with the Samsung 256gb thank you very much for your help!

Yes, by bottleneck I mean the capabilities of Memory Controller and Card Readers.
Upon reading over the internet, I have found most SD cards averaging Read/Write below 70 MB/s. Read one benchmarking here for Samsung EVO+ 256GB UHS-1 microSDXC U3 that advertises speeds over 90 MB/s.
The bottleneck here is the card reader on Note9 as well as the hardware limits.
Even on a PC, the card interface or the adapter (in case you use that) could be bottlenecks.
I think you're going the right way with double the memory with same the price. There's diminishing returns on higher performance with increasing price.

Both are good brands. However if you are probably gonna get the same data transfer speeds on your device as the Note 9 doesn't have a very fast microSDcard writter in it.

I have a Samsung Evo Plus 256gb and it's good and fast. I can only recommend it

[Q] Memory card for galaxy note

I want to buy a 32gb memory card for my galaxy note. I want to know which class memory card should I buy. I am getting 32gb sandisk class4 card @1.9k and 32gb sandisk class 6 @3.9k. What benefits will i get with a class 6 card. please help !!!
You'll just be able to dump content faster to the card with a higher class.
by class 6 you must mean the new sandisk ultra series (red color cards).
if you gonna use your card mainly for storing apps and other such random access stuff go for class 2/4.
if its for HD video recording, large file transfers, etc (sequential read/write) go for class 6/10.
btw, for HD video playback even class 2/4 is sufficient. although there is an advantage for HD recording when going for higher classes.
also, if you meant the class 6 sandisk ultra, most of the reviews as well as users say that its much faster than most of the class 10 disks in the market, including class 10 sandisks.

Thanks for ur reply. Yes the class 6 card is the Red Mobile Ultra one. I wanted to know what kind of problems I may face with a class 4 card while 1080P video recording and is class 6 really worth almost double the price?
I went for a class 10 and it seems alright. Not overly impressed with the speeds though. But no issues with HD recording.

If you are shooting 720p or higher videos with lower class, you may experience stuttering in the video as the card isn't rated for high throughput data transfers. I'm not saying that it will happen every time, but that is the reason you should go for higher class cards if that is your main purpose. Higher class cards have higher sequential write speeds, which is what you need for saving pictures more quickly and for recording HD video. Lower class cards have much higher random access speeds, which are needed for someone who uses lots of apps.
so if you store all apps internally and keep the external card only for multimedia, you could blindly go for class 6/10. you get very fast data transfers also (PC to Note).
this class 6 mobile ultra is very new. it could actually be a good compromise between class 4 and 10. but don't worry too much. just stick to sandisk
you can also check this one. looks good and priced well for a class 10.

imho class 4 is enough for u to store mkv video file, it's for me.
Guyz I have decided for Sandisk class 6 card. But now the problem is as I see. sandisk 32gb class 6 @ 50$ and sandisk 64gb class 6 @ 111$. Out of these 2 which one do you recommend. THanks in advance !!!
If you can afford it then obviously the 64GB is better, but i would get a UHS-I if i were you.

Haven't got my Note yet, my question is regarding internal memory vs lower class external interm of speed as you said lower class will have stuttering and slow in saving pictures. What if I use my internal storage as the main temporary storage for taking HD video and picture, would it stutter like you mention?
Then when I'm done recording, I just transfer the recorded HD video to my external card. Would that make scene?
I want to use my internal memory as a temporary storage and will move my data to external card when doing house keeping. Would clearing internal storage enhance overall phone speed performance?

What is best SD card to use with M8

I would buy the Samsung Evo plus UHS-I. Seems to be the best value:
Samsung EVO+ https://www.amazon.es/dp/B00WIMC5IS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_DDWoybBKQVG6F
Samsung SD works fine for me, as well. And I've also been happy with Sandisk in the past as well (Samsung just happened to be cheaper).
Are you talking adoptable storage or removable? The speed requirement is higher with adoptable. You'll want to get the fastest SD card you can for adoptable storage, possibly even the Samsung PRO+.
If you're talking removable storage, for the things you mentioned (photos, nandroid backups), speed rating are probably not too relevant. That is, as long as its Class 10 or UHS1 or faster - and there are many affordable options these days, that its probably not even worth looking at SD lower than Class 10 (and in fact you won't find many options in lower speed classes). The UHS1 rating on the Samsung EVO+ as well as the EVO should be fine. Taking video would probably be the most intensive thing you can do with SD, and the Samsung EVO works fine for me doing that. Not sure about putting apps on the SD. But if its designed to be on removable storage, I don't think its too terribly speed dependent.

I don't use adoptable storage, so all I can tell you, is what I've read from searching.
Class 10 or UHS-1 seems to be the recommended minimum rating. But I've read to buy the fastest you can afford, to minimize performance slowdowns. One website specifically mentioned possibly using PRO+ (can't find it right now). But the info doesn't seem definitive.
I see Samsung also has PRO Select, and I'm not sure if there is a difference between that and PRO+. They both have 95 MB/s read, 90 MB/s write. I'm seeing the Amazon US site doesn't have a lot of PRO+ in stock, but they have PRO Select in 32GB for $25 US. So possibly the PRO Select is just a new branding of the PRO+?
The branding is confusing, to say the least: EVO, EVO+, EVO Select, PRO, PRO+, PRO Select.

The Select is the newest. But I believe they are equal in terms of performance http://www.cameramemoryspeed.com/reviews/sd-cards/samsung-pro-select-64gb-micro-sdxc-memory-card/
i am using strontium nitro 64gb , its superb sd card..
excellent read/write speed, maybe you can go for it,
and contrary i can suggest you 128gb sandisk sdcard too. waiting for its price cut
I am hoping to pump some new life into this thread. I am curious if anyone has used or tested a 200+ gig sd card for our phone as this guy is suggesting will work. Wouldn't mind upgrading but dont want to drop the loot before someone has confirmed maybe with a screen shot that it works.

Your right. And the limitation must be with the M8. If you do that test on the HTC 10 the results should be much better.

MicroSD card tests. Which is the fastest to buy? Need your help

So I just bought this card to replace the old 128 I had in my note. Little frustrated cause it's not much faster than my old one. They advertise 90 to 100 read and write speeds. But it doesn't even get close to that. What's your opinion on these cards and post pics of the speed of your cards and what model card you have. Please use the app I used so I can compare.

@borijess I'm on vacation to a remote location and don't have the app you used to test but prior to my vacation I used SD Card Test Pro app and here are the results I got with a recently purchased SanDisk Extreme PRO microSDXC 128GB Memory Card, Class 10, U3, V30, A1, Read 100, Write 90.
Using SD Card Test Pro I got the following results: Read at 91.9 and Write at 84.4. Ran several tests over a period of 3 days and the readings were always very similar to what I just listed. I was never able to reach the read 100 or write 90 that SanDisk rates it at. But, I'm happy with the read/write speeds that this card gets. I quit using Samsung SD cards a while back as, for me anyway, I found that SanDisk just performed much better in my Nikon D810 camera, my GoPros and Samsung smartphones.
When I get back from my remote trip I'll try your app and post results.

NOTE 9 sd card slot speed rating

Hello,
has anyone been able to figure what the sdcard ratings are on this?
is it UHS ii?
can anyone post their write speeds?( people with sd cards anything under UHS i/ v30 please dont bother posting)
edit:
Also, to unify results can everyone use Androbench app?
And be sure to go to settings and point your ext sd card.
thanks
ain't anyone interested/curious in how fast their transfer rate to their sd card is? gues because it has nothing to do with facebook or antisocial media then it doesn't count as being a real thing...
if you have Solid Explorer you can visually see your transfer speed.
transferring the same file across different phones / SD cards can give you a comparison.
i believe the bottleneck is the SD card, as the phone is capable of transferring at speeds far beyond what the SD card is capable of. so even if the Note 9 can transfer faster than the other phones, the SD card will limit it to a fraction of its capable speed.
check Notebookcheck.net
Also most of the phone is stuck at <100MB/s for SDcard transfer rate atm. I don't know why but, maybe to prevent heat generated.
You can get an UHS-II TypeC card reader ya know. or get 512GB for full UFS 2.1 speed.

No not really. Different files and sizes transfer at different speeds. Also, you're basically stuck with whatever speeds you get as there are very few ways to 'optimize' or 'tweak' performance of a SD card. And besides most people are still buying MP3s. Why? I don't know. Ain't anyone interested in listening to CD quality music? Myself, I still buy compact discs and rip them into FLACs and MP3s when I get it then the CD mostly collects dust.
And some of us are waiting on 512GB cards from Samsung and SanDisk to come out. No point in buying a 400GB card when I know I will get the 512 when the price comes down.
all this is fine and dandy but i was expecting actual file transfer read and write data numbers.
none provided their current rates. all other info is irrelevant.
thanks
I'd be interested to know the slot speed rating as well. Currently the phone defaults to using the internal capacity to write to for things like high-end video recording, due to the external SD not being fast enough.
...But is that actually due to the slot speed not being fast enough? Or because the vast majority of users will use standard SD Cards, which aren't fast enough to keep-up and it would cause complaints. Would be nice to find out it's the latter, I wouldn't mind investing in a faster SD Card for a little boost in performance.
Although I don't know the specifics for the Note 9. The SD card reading hardware on the device is the bottleneck and a source of where all manufactures go cheap. The read and right will top out between 60MB/s to 70 MB/s. This is why the internal storage is preferred but I the device for use and the main thing people overlook when it comes to devices with expandable memory. Expandable storage is simply meant for storage and not for high quality video recording and bust, super slow-mo, and other high quality video and image writing.

4k video takes about 100- 150Mbs on a high end camera. That's about 18 MB/sec write speed. All the medium/high quality sd cards can do those speeds...

Yes, but most cards don't reach their advertised potential and multiple simultanious writes impact speeds a lot more. This is why there are 512GB devices and why they still sell. The average person won't max out the capability of the SD slot but you always get a few that will use the device well beyond what most of us will.
I'm getting read 73.41mb/s Write 31.85mb/s with the 256gb card that came free with the note 7. Also note, I only have about 47gb free on it so that may affect the results.

I use a Samsung EVO Plus 128GB card. 68MB/s sustained read and 62MB/s sustained write, using a 28GB 4k Blu-Ray rip. The card can read 100MB/s and write 90MB/s but those speeds are only close to achievable when plugged into my USB 3 card reader.
It's rated at 100 gigawatts.

I use a Samsung EVO Plus 128GB card. 68MB/s sustained read and 62MB/s sustained write, using a 28GB 4k Blu-Ray rip. The card can read 100MB/s and write 90MB/s but those speeds are only close to achievable when plugged into my USB 3 card reader.

68MB/s sustained read and 62MB/s sustained write
in the note 9?
Also, to unify results can everyone use Androbench app?
be sure to go to settings and point your ext sd card.
thanks

Yes, but it is a large file. Read and write speeds tend to start off a bit better and should be a bit better for smaller files.

no problem, tests are encouraging. i have the evo plus 256gb and and on the note 8 was getting barely 10 MB/s write speeds.
on the computer was getting the advertised speeds on an UHS 3 reader.
Samsung EVO+ 256GB UHS-I microSDXC U3 (exact same as aznmode above).
Using the AndroBench app:
1st Run:
Read: 76.1mb/s
Write: 31.01mb/s
2nd Run:
Read: 77.24mb/s
Write: 29.56mb/s
As a reference, the internal memory bench is:
Read: 747.8mb/s
Write: 189.0mb/s

128 vs 512

gonna pre order s10+, trying to decide if it worth it to get the 512 gb ram model for +$250
I know I can buy the microsd card for 512gb, which is a lot of cheaper, but i heard it a real pain to manage and move apps back and forth.
Can you record videos directly to the sdcard? Is there any real disadvantage to just getting the 128 and buying a 512 sdcard?
Read/Write operations executed from portable storage will generally fail to compare to UFS/NVME. Onboard storage is on a completely different level. What's more, we don't know how fast the SD card reader is yet. Notebookcheck normally runs IO benchmarks.

I usually don't need much storage and I go for lower 128GB model, but if I need more storage later, than I can buy a fast SD Card and enjoy added storage. Added storage in my case would only be used for multimedia consumption such as mp3, photos and videos. If you buy a nice SD Card, then you can record 4k videos on it as it would be pretty fast.
If I would go for 512GB model, but not use it down the read, then it means I have wasted $250 for nothing.

I wish there was a 512 ram version lol
I just record everything onto the onboard storage and just transfer to Micro SD after. No issues there for me.

Yes, you can. https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/...-save-to-sd-card-instead-of-to-device-memory/
