Samsung 256Gb EVO Select SDXC/UHS-1 Class 3/Class 10

Seems to work great with my SM-G935A, dropped it in a few days ago to replace a smaller Sandisk Ultra card.

Manufacturer rated 95 / 90 MB/s (seq r/w)

Benchmarked on my device ....

A1 SD 63.87 / 42.45 MB/s (seq r/w)

Androbench sequential 80.05 / 36.29 MB/s (seq r/w)

I didn't think to take the time and benchmark it when I had it in the SD card reader on my notebook, but it appeared to have read/write speeds there closer to manufacturer ratings.

My A1 SD Bench results, new 256gb samsung evo+

Read 54.21mb/s Write 37.34mb/s

A good increase in write speed from my old sandisk 200gb class 10

Read 57.42mb/s Write 14.07mb/s

A little surprised my Galaxy s7 edge couldn't write even faster but still a worthwhile upgrade...

UPDATE

The Evo+ also runs cold when busy being written to compared to the hot predecessor !

anybody got an view on these two, and if one superior the other, hence value and general use or are they pretty much in same ballpark.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] southsideswaggar:
Hi there!

You could try the Samsung UHS-1 U3 evo select 128GB edition micro sd card. I have it in my Samsung galaxy s8 plus and it runs great. I benchmarked it and mine comes in at 68MBPS read and 43MBPS write. I used A1 SD Benchmark to test the speeds.

The card is guaranteed against 4 things. 1) hot/cold extreme temps, 2) xrays, 3) magnetic fields, and 4) sea or any water for a total of 10 years and can be bought on Amazon USA for $44.95 before shipping. I think it's a great buy and is guaranteed to perform flawless even when shooting 4k video at 30 frames per second, which should be no issue as the phone records on to it's much faster internal memory then you transfer file to card after recording.

I've had my card in for 3 weeks and have had no issues to speak of. It comes with an empty standard size sd card that u can insert the micro sd card into and use as a regular SD card in various devices. Card is rated at a max read/write of 100MBPS/95MBPS but you probably won't reach those speeds. Card comes in 32, 64, 128, and 256 GB sizes. Prices vary.

I hope this article helps those looking for, quality and performance in a budget price. This card will suit the galaxy series phones just right, and why not get a samsung card for your samsung phone, it just makes sense.

CHEERS! :good:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jaredalcantro:
That type of card may suffice for a lot of uses, but it will have its limits...

Most cards read fast enough that they will suffice for just about any use if you are reading from them (such as playing music or playing a 4k video file).

Nearly any card is much slower on writing though, and that is why the class system of speed ratings was created - to make sure it can keep up with any real-time writing needs you have. If you never record a high bandwidth stream to it in real time then you will never run into this limitation.

Music is also pretty low bandwidth compared to video, especially 4k video. It's unlikely any use of music or audio files (whether reading or writing) would ever stress a Class 10 card.

But, 4k video, and in particular writing a 4k video stream in real time while recording it, is the one application that will exceed the guarantees of a Class 10 card. You need a U3 card (essentially a Class 30 equivalent) to be guaranteed to keep up with real-time 4k video recording.

I saw the extreme 256gb...which read speed is 160mb and write speed is 90. so i am keen to buy this but saw the Samsung evo plus which is also good 95/90 mbps. both are almost same price, difference is only $7. but i am confused is that extreme 256gb support to my phone or not. i never used extreme one also it's 256gb.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jbfountain:
I thought Samsung was claiming that the S7 and S7 Edge would have the latest and fastest micro SD standard? That would be UHS II. If they only support UHS I that would not be true. The Lexar 1000x UHS II cards would be the fastest cards at a affordable price, but only if the device supports it. If not the Samsung pro+ would be, but as usual with Samsung it's way over priced.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
Where did you hear them say that they would support the latest standards? I've seen a number of sources that assume that it will because it is the latest phone, but no spec that promises it and a lot of comments about how UHS-II slots have only appeared on really high end cameras so far. There was one post or blog I read somewhere that seemed to have confirmed that the extra pins aren't in there, but I forget where I saw it.

FWIW, I just benchmarked a UHS-I U3 card and it benchmarks slower than it did on my computer, so the microSD slot may not even be able to keep up with the full capabilities of UHS-I. (I'll try another benchmark soon with another UHS-I U3 card to see if it is consistent.)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
I just updated my earlier post where I benchmarked a couple of UHS-I/U3 cards on my surfacebook with new data from my S7 Edge. Here are the results for the Samsung Pro+ card:

In the Samsung SD adapter in a SurfaceBook SD card reader:

View attachment 3665893

In the S7 Edge micro SD slot:

(the red graphic is the microSD slot, the yellow graphic is the internal storage)

The card gets around 92/83 in a desktop reader, but only 61/40 in the S7 Edge microSD slot. Both are slower than the internal storage of the S7 Edge which clocks in at around 279/99...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jwhatts:
Makes me wonder if the Evo+ cards result in the same speeds because of this. It's possible that it scales down according to card read/write speeds, but maybe the phone card slot cuts it off at certain speeds, and any card over that will result in the same speeds. If so you could get more bang for your buck.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] enjoythemusic:
Thx flarbear for posting the MBs memory speed.

I have coming the insane 128GB Lexar 1800x UHS-II U3 card and will test / post once ATT decides to send the S7 Edge. Do quite a bit of large file transfers, pro photo, pro video, etc. so it'll work for a variety of things.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
OK, some new numbers from Androbench for the S7 edge internal and Samsung Pro+ external memory:

I'm getting 426/128 (sequential read/write) for the internal memory and 80/66 (seq r/w) for the 64gb Pro+. I was wary that it wasn't using enough data, but even when I bump the size of the disk tests by a factor of 8 (and they take a fair amount of time to run) I still see 427/153 and 80/70 for sequential r/w. (the numbers improve even?)...

It's still slower than the SD card reader on my SurfaceBook, so we may still not see any cards get near or over 100MB/s and the internal memory will still outclass it by a fair margin...

I wish I had taken screenshots of the original results which are formatted nicer than this, but here are the screenshots of the results from my history. The random R/W are listed as IOPS, but working back from those numbers to MB/s they would be 93.17/15.64 (rand r/w) for the internal storage and 13.94/3.47 (rand r/w) for the Pro+...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] NaimC:
This guy reviewed most major micro SD cards on Amazon. I ended up settling on the Sandisk Extreme Pro (64GB) as it was the cheapest for me.

If I could confirm the S7/S7 Edge was UHS-II compatible, I'd probably go with the Lexar 1000x instead, as I feel the 150/mb/s read speed may likely be more useful (with loading the gallery etc) than 90 mb/s write speed, but if the S7 isn't UHS-II compatible, it'd be a waste. That said, most 4K video recording requires little more than 15mb/s write, so maybe 80-90mb/s write is overkill. Given that the murmurs are that the S7 may only be UHS-I compatible, the Sandisk Extreme Pro and Samsung Pro Plus seem to be the best picks if you want maximum speed in both read and write.

You said "I thought Samsung was claiming" - I was just hoping/wondering where you might have heard something from the horse's mouth for further investigation since I haven't been able to find any specific specs listed from an authoritative source. :(

Hopefully there will be a full teardown soon that lays bare the contacts in the microSD reader so we can be sure.

Did you see my updated post a few posts later where I used AndroBench and got 80/70(r/w)? Better, but not quite to the full potential of these cards. And that was after I had loaded it up with media (about half full) - the earlier tests were on a basically empty card.

The 128GB Version of the Extreme Pro starts shipping on 4-1-2016, if you can wait that long (though bhphotovideo says they expect it to ship in 7-10 days on their site). :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] enjoythemusic:
Might have been me as my longtime (nearly two decades) friend at Samsung said the S7 variants are UHS-1. BTW, ordered a 128GB Lexar 1800x UHS-II U3 card and waiting for ATT to ship S7 Edge. Large files get moved around here quite a bit with pro video and pro camera plus pro audio. Thus the files can be huge, especially from the pro TV studio that burns through GB like a ______ (insert your fave high-consumption joke here).

For those curious here a link to benchmark the Lexar 1800x card both as a UHS-I and UHS-II. Pretty good specs. Usually get SanDisk yet the Lexar seems like it may beat the 'real word' write side of life. www.realhardwarereviews.com/lexar1800x/7/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jbfountain:
This is a answer from Samsung Mobile USA to my question as to what the UHS rating of the S7 and S7 Edge.

"Hi! Thanks for reaching out to us and sorry for the delay. We cannot speculate the UHS of the S7 and S7 Edge, as of the moment. For more info and specs of the device, kindly check this link: https://t.co/PslvzXgQbI. Let us know if you have other questions in the future. Thank you for your time! ^Rica"

Petty vague. I think the only to get Samsung to publicly disclose what the actual UHS is would be for everyone who is truly interested to hound them on Social media.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] fafaffy:
No, the Sandisk Ultra 128gb only goes about ~20MB read, ~7.5MB write (on my Note 4, at least). It'll be faster on PC but in general this is a storage card and not a performance card.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] vivelafrance:
ok, cause I read everywhere that UHS-I ratings are enough...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] fafaffy:
Turns out I misread your first part of the message (only reading your 80MB/s on the second part).

For the camera, it should be fine. I can't say it'll work flawlessly if you plan on doing 4k or take hundredths of successive shots in a row, but it should work fine for general purposes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] enjoythemusic:
Well, ummm... the SanDisk Ultra cards (64, 128 and 200 GB) are s-l-o-w in write and just average for read. You can do MUCH better elsewhere.

However I'm not sure I trust them. The reviews are not that good
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] enjoythemusic:
Well, we know so far with real world test with Samsung Pro+ 64GB you can achieve 80/70 for sequential r/w. Agree we all probably wish there was a less expensive solution for those of us who desire 128 GB yet the Lexar 1600x UHS-II U3 seems to be the King of the Hill for speed and higher storage capability. If this helps reduce the sting of the high price, the Lexar will work fine with the next gen of phone with (hopefully) UHS-II so your card will still be viable. Samsung is developing faster/higher speed internal memory chips. Forget the specs yet saw it within a tech site for developers or some such.

This all reminds me of decades ago when we were all slowed down by the chosen RAM and bus speeds within our large home (and portable) computers. Anyone remember when paying $10 per MB was a bargain for a memory card? I do. :crying:

Anyone know where you can purchase the samsung pro+ 128gb card except from samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
UHS-I ratings have nothing to do with the end results, they only specify the bus speed (the speed of transferring data to/from the card) and have nothing to do with the flash memory speed which is more likely to be the limiting factor. Even non-high-speed SD cards have a bus speed high enough for full HD video, but you need to worry about the speed of the flash.

Most cards are advertised with "up to" maximum performance metrics, but what matters for video recording is the worst case minimum write speed under any and all conditions - that is where the speed class comes into play. The first post in this thread lists the details, but a minimum of Class 10 or U1 are needed for 1080p video and U3 (3x as fast) are supposed to be needed for 4k video, but it depends on the bitrate of the codec. Class 10/U1 are rated at a minimum of 10MB/s. U3 is rated at a minimum of 30MB/s.

I tested the 4k video on my S6 Edge last week and got around 5MB/s for a 12 second video clip. I just retested on my S7 Edge and got 90MB for a 15 second clip which indicates about 6MB/s for the video I took. It's not clear if I shot the type of video content that will most stress the write performance, or if the bitrate was a constant through the entire video - all it would take would be one particular set of frames with added noise or video complexity and the short-term bitrate could jump up quite a bit. Those rates appear to be less than the Class 10/U1 guaranteed rate of 10MB/s, but it couldn't hurt to get a U3-rated card if you plan to take a lot of 4k video just in case the bitrate is variable and you take that one video under less than ideal compression conditions...

This S7 Edge is going to bankrupt me... I ordered the 200GB microsd for $79 on amazon today, then after reading suggestions on this thread I realized I'd be happier with 128GB with faster read write speeds So I picked up the 128GB Samsung Pro Plus from adorama (another $150) ... I'll probably drop the 200GB card into my SP4, just for fun.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ThoreauAZ:
I had the 200 gig sandisk ordered via amazon before i looked up the specs on it. Cancelled that puppy and spent too much time stressing iver what to actually get for my s7 edge.

If i coulda found the samsung pro 128 for a good price that probably wouldve won based on my experience with the 64gb variant, but in the end i picked up a 128gb lexar/1000x whatever for 120 on amazon. Hoping it does the trick. Now to just wait for Sprint to send me me goodies...

Fwiw i did some quick testing of the new card and my existing 64gb samsung pro. Nothing in depth or conclusive but...

128gb lexar

Sprint Galaxy s3 (just for giggles. Cyanogenmod 4.4.4, unencrypted) 35.75 read, 29.84 write

Verizon s4, encrypted (5.1) 16.67 read, 13.64 write

Sprint s5, encrypted (5.0) 27.58 read, 24.34 write

Since theres encrypted data already on it, i only benched the samsung pro 64gb in my s5. It landed 30.41 read, 19.54 write.

All tests in MB, using a1 sd bench app.

40.73 read and 35.91 write with the lexar card, encryption turned off, on the s5.
