All, sorry for not posting til today, and no "real" pictures. I had sync issues because of the DST time change. All test were in my Note 3. Here is a summary:

1. Slower than my 64GB card writing by about 10%

2. Slower than my 64GB card reading by about 5%.

This may have been caused by switching from fat32 to exFAT, but I'm unsure of that. Speeds per SD tool box were about 16.1MB/s write and 23.9B/s read.

I still haven't done the "main" test for me, which is add a ~30GB files and then read it back, and check for changes/errors. I'll try and try that tonight.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] theorioles33:
As much as I WANT one of these I don't really NEED it. I still have 30GB free on my 64GB card and 22GB free internally. I have a bunch of stuff on my phone too. Amazing! I will eventually get the 128GB just because more is better. :)

There has. Been easily 10MB/s+ write and I've seen as high as 25 read on other sites. I hope when mine comes it can hit 15 write. Sandisk usually underated their cards. They stopped rating class 6 and under because their cards usually perform better than rated cards.

Are these really UHS-1?

Reading the post about changed delivery dates I checked my order at Amazon (Amazon EU S.a.r.L.) and suddenly found as delivery date "March 13 to March 14 2014". If this is true they must have received a batch for delivery.

PS.: I tried to order a 2nd and got the usual 2 to 4 weeks delivery time, to be safe I did not and wait for a few days to see if I really get it by weekend.

PS²:

After looking at the new picture at Amazon and rereading it it now states UHS-1, can anyone who has reveiced it confirm UHS-1 on theirs package?

the add states
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sonofevil77:
Well now that that was answered without the need to be a ****, I am mad I missed them being in Stock! I assumed because Samsung said it accepts a 64gb that it was set in stone. Crap! 4 to 6 weeks. My 64 is almost full. Thank you to all whom answered without the attitude!

Feb 24th from amazon. The read and write speeds are about the same as the ultra 64 gb sandisk, I'm happy with the transfer speeds I'm getting. :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] d12unk13astard:
As I'm filling this card up and knowing I'll have a decent amount of left over space left afterwards, I can't help but also say that being a digital hoarder it wouldn't be hard to fill up this thing with the quickness with as much crap I already have on my pc lol. I'm trying my best to only have select Flac music and 1080p movies/porn on sdcard and the rest can be streamed thru plex. This 128gb card is mostly gonna be used for app data files (obb, etc) and pictures.

Still looking forward to sandisk making a speedy production of 256-512gb sdcards in the future. Microsd demand is high enough and needs to hurry up and match the rate 2.5,3.5 hdds are being sold at.

It's looking like my 32 gig is malfunctioning. I've been getting notifications saying that it's been removed, unmounted, blank, etc. I'll keep an eye on this. This will also drive prices down for the 64 gig so I may get that instead due to price.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] snn47:
received mine and running ATTO currently

Ordered at Amazone.de Feb.9th received it today, Feb.14th, ETA for delivery remained constantly at 2 to 4 weeks when I checked Amazon.

The Sandisk 128 GB µSDXC is formated with exFAT.

I tested in my HP 8560p that uses a JMicron chip that uses 1 PCIe lane and offers SD/Firewire control.

The attached screenshot shows the Atto results. When I get my USB 3.0 HAM external Multi-card-fromat reader back, I'll post the results too.

While the speed is still slow at small sizes, beyond 64 k it exceeds my Samsung 64 GB UHS-1 (r_w 80MB/S_20MB/S) and is so far the fasted (µ)SDXC I have tested/owned. Personally I prefer faster r/w at small sizes rather then getting adequate results >64 kB transfer size.

I know it's a sythetic test, but I found that it reflected the ratio of transfer time increase for small files, e.g. downlaoded websites when compared to copying pictures or videos in the MB to GB file size.

PS: the paper package containg the card looks like the oicture I linked to at Amzone.de.

PS²: Does anyone remember the program name from c't (heise.de) that allows to test if there are really 128 GB available on the µSDXC andhas anyone run a test to verify that the sandisk 128 GB µSDXC has really 128 GB?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
My order went through Feb 26/27 (late PM early AM) though I tried to get it on day 1. It estimated some time in April until I checked again earlier this week and saw the revised March 24/25 estimate. That's still 10 more days, but it's a welcome change. :)

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sacky73:
In the next few years some manufacturers in particular Samsung might quit with memory card slots especially as Google seems to want an end to it and security concerns make it a necessity. I hope not but they might therefore you might not get that 256-512. I am a digital hoarder to but this is the first card I have ever doubted that I might need. I have a 64gb coming (my second one) and I am wondering if I don't need a 128gb instead.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pete4k:
I'm sorry, but what "security concerns" are you talking about?

Are you repeating Google's propaganda? For your information Google end SD card support in all of their devices a while ago, since it's against their business model, they make money from advertising so they want people to be on their cloud servers all the time so they can sell advertising and SD cards get in the way.

Samsung sells hardware so Google business model is not their problem and frankly they are trying to come out with their own OS, Tizen.

I get rid of Android and Google before I get rid of SD cards.

As far as your 128GB card dilemma, to me it's very simple: either you still have space on your 64GB card and don't need 128, or your 64 GB is not enough and you need more. I still have space on mine, so can wait with upgrading to 128GB, but once vacation time comes up, I'll have no choice, to fit all the video and pics I expect to take even 128GB may be not enough.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] snn47:
yes, thank you even so I have the c't archive on BlueRay, it took me 1/2 h to go through the various possible articles before I found the name again on my own.

By now the H2testw finished after ~3 h for the 128 GB µSDXC, verifying that it really has the advertised size.

Despite Amazon and Sandisk I still found it wise to run the test, since it's worde if you loose data if you if the size is smaller.

[MENTION=1055427]sacc[/MENTION]ky73 what security concerns do you refer to, can you elaborate them?

IMHO that sounds the same as in past centuries when "earth is flat" was a dogma. Fortunately there is no inquisition from Google around that takes care of us if we don't agree with their Marketing-BS.;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mjs2011:
Good post.

I think my only concern is that this won't be a very good long term investment. I already plan on getting the Note 4 when it comes out and I fear that pressure from Google will cause Samsung to leave the sdcard slot out of future devices. I've been mulling canceling my order for days before it ships because of this.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] snn47:
I may be wrong but most manufacterers will keep µSDX support despite what Google says. Some models like the HTC One even are available with µSDXC and Dual-Sim support for the chineese market. It's up to us to let manufacterers know what we want and will change brand if they don't maintain µSDXC support.

Despite all the repeatedly bulliing from Samsung they do know that were not slave branded to one brand for all of our live. FU and you loose (customer support) like Nokia did.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sacky73:
Hi, the security concerns I mentioned are listed here in this article Kitkat and SD cards.

I am a huge fan of microSD cards and will most likely get me one of these but I just wanted to get opinions on whether security is an issue and whether others think that this128gb will be the last and whether phone makers will decide to end microsd slots any time soon. I don't think that Samsung wants to end it because they too are manufacturers of both phones and memory cards.

Is it safe to say then that the changes made in Kitkat are just Google being a bit evil?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] snn47:
one questions answered but new questions following from this answer

Thank you for the link, and now I understand some of the claims, but since they do not say if this is a problem of all FAT FS

FAT16 (unlikely to be used any more),

FAT32 or also the recent

exFAT

ExFAT supports not only filesizes >4 GB, but from what I remember also permissions in Windows, even though not enabled per default.

Here I have to stop and hope someone more knowledgeable then me will tell us, if exFAT with enabled permissions would do or if alternatively another Filesystem could. Since I'm not a Linux and could not find information if our notes support them I never tried any Linux FS.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sacky73:
I really hope SD cards don't go away and I don't think Samsung will do much to make them go away either. There is too much money in it for them
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] d12unk13astard:
Google is just trying to sway the sheeple into thinking sdcards are evil and unnecessary. For a lot of users this is accepted and never questioned, but for those who do have larger sdcards and prefer to carry mass media with them.. it's war! Thankfully it was an easy fix that devs here at xda were quick to patch up with a flashable fix that makes sdcards act the same as in 4.3

Nexus devices are great than for those not needing external sdcard support but to try and turn everyone else's phone that does support sdcards into nexus like phones by shutting apps/games read/write abilities on a firmware update is just evil and greedy, not any security measure as they suggest. Android is all about choices and customization, the day all other phone manufacturers discontinue sdcard support is the day they lose tons of its users that rely on sdcards.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pete4k:
That article is bunch of lies: For starters, no program will get installed or use SD card unless it is programmed to do so. Therefore any program that requires security does not have to use unsecured sd card, but only "secure" internal memory. But if the internal memory is secure why do we need Knox?

Make SD card more "tidy", by not allowing access to it? Either Google has bunch of total idiots working for them or they think all users are morons and will buy such stupid excuses without question.

it would be similar to case where you're afraid someone will break into your house, so you cement all doors and windows and then you can't get into the house yourself.

And why the fix for SD requires root, not being some menu option? Maybe because 90% of users don't even know what root is?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] KruseLudsMobile:
I have read about this extensively in the Google developers forums. I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and was going to purchase a new Sandisk 128gb Microsdxc card in my phone. My phone is not rooted. My current card is a 64Gb microsdxc.

It is currently running ICS 4.2.2. Evidently an upgrade to KitKat 4.4.2 is coming out soon.

I have read that for phones running KitKat 4.4.2, all non-system apps are only allowed to write to one designated location on extsdcard. I want to continue to use root Explorer to manipulate and move files from one location to another. How can Root explorer and other third party apps such as apps that manipulate photos, etc. deal with this problem when I upgrade my phone when the Verizon OTA update comes out? A classic example is putting a photo file in the wrong directory. On the phone it will be invisibly to non-system apps. If I did put it into one correctly designated location on the extsdcard, then only the app which is assigned that location can read and write to it and no other non-system apps will be able to see or alter or move it. How are we going to deal with this? It is not a bunch of lies, it's true, look at the Google developers forums. All the devs are freaking out about it and the Google employee devs are saying that it is true in their responses over there... What do we do with this nightmare?

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jetbruceli:
First you cant have 4.2.2 on a note 3 when it came with 4.3 JB

Anyways, with Kitkat there seems to be a permission that doenst allow writing to the media card. This is fixed by inserting a line in the platforms permissions. It has to be done for full access to the ext sd.

However most apps are getting updated to deal with the situation but if you want a no problem solution then you will need root and need to fill in the extra line in platforms.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sacky73:
So it is an issue and I am not the only one concerned about it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
Also, 4.2.2 is JB, not ICS.

Anyway, it's the same concern I have. How will various media players have access to the same media? Will they have read-only access or something? How will file managers work?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pete4k:
I don't think you understood me at all. Google excuse that SD card restrictions are done to improve security is bunch of lies. They did those restrictions to force people to stop using SD cards and use their cloud services instead.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] KruseLudsMobile:
Thank you for the clarification. Yes I actually have 4.3 Jelly Bean. I just happened to notice this app which will make the change required - probably just updates the configuration file (but which requires root): http://www.androidauthority.com/fix-kitkat-sdcard-issue-app-sdfix-358844/

For all interested here is the 128 GB Sandisc left compared to the 64 GB Samsung right, both are UHS-1, in the JMicron 1x PCIe reader (HP8560)

For todays picture size, audio or video files you have ample speed for smaller files there is not much improvement to older µSD cards.

Note there may be other offers not listed, because when I was looking first for this card it price searchers weeks before even one dealer was listed as offering it.

So it's approaching the same €/GB as the 64 GB µSDXC, sooner when you remember how long it took for the 64 GB to approach the same €/GB as the 32 GB.

There are Note 3 owners outside the US that will have to pay higher shipping costs plus custom tax ; and often the VAT tax too (19% for me) if we'd order outside Europe Then US offers are useless to us since e.g. Amazone does not ship to Europe or even Canada.
