If I were you I would definitely return it. It sounds like you got a bad card. I get between 57 and 62 MB/s write with my 128gb Pro Plus in my S7 Edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] semajm85:
Yup I'll do that. Thanks man!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Helgaiden:
Got my S7 Edge earlier this week and was looking around for some upgrades. I have an old 16gb microSD card that’s in there now but whilst using that SD card with me Xperia Z1s, I started hitting the limits of both the 32gb internal memory and the 16gb microSD capacity. Got a new phone, so now its about time I upgrade I think. However, the last thing I want to worry about is the SD card causing performance issues in the phone itself, so ive compiled a list of some microSD cards I would like your guys’s feedback on. What would y’all pick? Im good with 64gb or better, but don’t want to break the bank either. Was originally leaning towards the PNY, but the Sandisk Extreme PLUS caught my attention. The Netac Pro card also stands out due to size/$$$ ratio compared to the others (while still appearing to be decently fast).

PNY

http://www.amazon.com/PNY-Performan...GU360G-GE/dp/B00W77CJTY/ref=cm_cr_dp_asin_lnk $20 for 64gb, $35 for 128gb

Sony

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] callum1986:
Is for pre order I think as has been brought to our attention but I was only looking for 64gb anyways as 128gb would be too expensive.

Is a good card though even crystal disk gave me 96 read and 89 write.

As long as this card is reliable then I'll stay happy :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Redflea:
On my S7 Edge, w/Samsung 128 Pro+, A1 SD:

33 Read

17 Write

Seems pretty abysmal. I did not format or change anything on the card. I did transfer about 7K photos to it on my computer before I inserted it in the S7E.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
Thanks for the data! I've been recording the results of all of these cards in a spreadsheet linked from the OP. I've also made a graph on the spreadsheet, but I've only been graphing the results from the "A1 SD" benchmark so far because they are more complete than the results we've seen posted from Androbench. If you could do a quick run with A1 SD and post those results I could add it to the graph.

And I'd encourage more people to use Androbench as well. That gives us random read/write numbers that I could graph separately once we have a more complete set of results...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
I picked up a 128gb Samsung Pro+ the other day at Best Buy, but didn't get around to benchmarking it until today. Not as good in the read numbers compared to what I saw on the 64gb when it was new, though, but a little better on writes. The Androbench numbers are closer compared to the 64gb, though.

A1 SD seq read: 52.41 MB/s

A1 SD seq write: 40.90 MB/s

Androbench seq read: 75.85 MB/s

Androbench seq write: 63.94 MB/s

Androbench random read: 13.2 MB/s

Androbench random write: 1.67 MB/s

I bought the 128GB Lexar 1000x card. It works pretty well but once in awhile it will crash and I won't be able to use my phone and even when I try to restart, I will have to remove my card first before it restarts completely.

Didn't have this issue with my samsung 32GB.. which is a shame.

Anyone having similar problems with their cards

Where are you guys purchasing the SanDisk Extreme PRO 64GB? Local Best Buy was sold out
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jbfountain:
Here are my latest tests with my S7 Edge and Samsung Pro + 128gb.

Edit: I'm going to test and post the results from a Lexmark 128gb UHS-I U1 card I have been using in my HTC One M9 in a few minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] xenon2000:
I took screenshots, but I will just type the results instead since I like to see it that way.

Device: Samasung Galaxy S7 (not the Edge) on T-mobile SM-G930T , on Android 6.0.1

A1 SD v2.4.0 ( R/W in MB/s )

SDXC: Samsung Pro+ 128 GB - 55.40 / 27.83 (as high as 57.98 / 28.76 )

SDXC: Kingston 64 GB UHS-I part# SDC10G2/64GB - 45.40 / 18.04 (as high as 52 / 19 )

AndroBench v4.1 ( R/W in MB/s )

SDXC: Samsung Pro+ 128 GB - 76.01 / 63.62 (random: 13.48 / 1.69 )

SDXC: Kingston 64 GB UHS-I part# SDC10G2/64GB - 66.28 / 18.8

So there is a huge difference with the Sequential Write benchmark between AndroBench and A1 SD for the Samsung Pro+ 128. Yet pretty much the same 18 MB/s write number for the Kingston card. So what benchmark should I go by? My main reason for getting the Samsung Pro+ 128 GB card was for 4K recording directly to the SD card. Though I guess I should test that with the Kingston first as maybe I don't need more than 18 MB/s for the 4K of the S7. Does anyone know the bitrate used by the S7 for 4K video?

Since I am not using my card for Adaptive Storage and I don't mind if apps are slower that I put on the SD card, that is why I might just stick with cheaper 128GB cards as I don't know if the Pro+ 128 card is really worth the price right now.

Is this card good or should I spend the extra money on the Plus?

http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extre...58683975&sr=8-5&keywords=sandisk+pro+micro+sd
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
One other responder got similar low write results for the 128gb Samsung Pro+. Other than the fact that your results are on a non-Edge version of the phone, that makes 2 people with writes in the mid-20s and 2 people with writes in the mid-40s on that card. It would be interesting to see if the results are situational, or related to how full the card is, or perhaps there was media indexing going on at the time? (But not sure why that would affect write and not read).

In the meantime, I'm debating whether to mix results from non-Edge phones into the benchmark results I tabulate in the OP and its Google spreadsheet. I'm leaning towards "yes, as long as its an S7 of some type" because the phones likely have identical media card slots...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
Those results are a lot lower than a previous report on this thread. Has the card been in use for a while? Did you re-run the benchmarks after letting it sit in the phone for a couple of days (to make sure any media indexing or other operations had time to complete)?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
The results you show for the A1 benchmarks are a lot lower than the results others have posted for the same card, though one other person also posted low numbers in a later post taken in a regular S7 phone, so we have 2 people with much faster seq r/w and 2 (one on S7, one on S7 Edge) who have these lower numbers. What can you tell us about the history of the card that might shed some light? Was the card fresh out of the box, or had you used it for storage before? Was it empty or had you already loaded it (to what % full) with media?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
These are 2 amazing results for the Sandisk Extreme Pro, but so far nobody has posted any Androbench results for that card. Could either or both of you try Androbench and post the results for us?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] xenon2000:
My tests are with a new card, nothing added to the card, phone is near brand new with little added since it was bought. And I do a reboot and close all running apps before running my tests. The A1 SD write speeds on the Samsung Pro+ 128 are much lower than when testing with AndroBench. Yet the Kingston shows about the same 18 MB/s writes with both benchmark tools. If I go by AndroBench, the Pro+ is decent with 76 / 63 R/W speeds. Still not sure I want to keep it for $90 with even those speeds.

UPDATE: Sorry, I found this thread via google and based on the title of the thread, I didn't know it was only for the S7 Edge. But I see now that this thread is in the S7 Edge sub forum. Still, I would have expected the Edge and non-Edge of the S7 to use the same flash and SD reader.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
Don't apologize, it's all good, and you were complete enough to mention the phone model when you posted your results. I'm still partially of the belief that it if was feasible to share the thread with the S7 forum then we probably should mix the results in, so more results are always welcome. In fact, I may have already collected and graphed results from other non-Edge phones above based on people finding the thread and not mentioning their phone model, so all you did was raise the (obvious, in retrospect) question of how we should break out or combine results.

To be clear, A1 SD shows lower sequential results for most all cards, and the Androbench results you posted were on par with the results posted by other members with the same card, but their A1 SD results, while lower than their Androbench results, were much higher than your A1 SD results. Take a look at the spreadsheet and charts linked in the original post of this thread and you will see what I mean. I should also point out that yours are the second "even more mediocre than one might expect for A1 SD results" we've seen on that card. So, it's the discrepancy of results that I'm more concerned with diagnosing and documenting than the difference between the 2 benchmark apps...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Naemion:
It has been used before but was freshly formatted aND has been in the phone for a few days.its only an ultra so I wasn't to disappointed with my results. I'm starting to think A1 isn't giving the correct results but the androbench seem much closer to what they are supposed to be.

Regardless of A1 vs Androbench, I was comparing results from the same benchmark with earlier runs someone else did further up the thread. You can see the results graphed in the spreadsheet linked from the original post.

And the direct link to the post of their Androbench results: http://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/accessories/suggestions-microsd-t3321569/post65798166
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
Benchmark results for the Plus and the Pro are listed in the original post in this thread which also links to a spreadsheet with graphs of their performance.

All are UHS-I cards with a U3 speed rating, but the quality of the flash memory is different. The regular is rated 90/40 (sequential read/write), the Plus is rated 95/90, and the Pro you linked to is an older model that was also rated at 95/90, but it benchmarked much faster than the plus in the real world results you can see in the OP.

None of these should be confused with the new version of the Extreme Pro currently listed on the Sandisk web site is a newer version that supports UHS-II speeds and is only currently available for pre-order form a couple of vendors. But, since the S7 Edge only supports UHS-I speeds the new Extreme Pro will likely not benchmark any better than the earlier model that you are linking to. (In particular, the Lexar cards which are also UHS-II only benchmark at UHS-I speeds and the current Extreme Pro already beats them in practice when running benchmarks in the S7 Edge...)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] callum1986:
As requested. It isn't as fast as A1
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Naemion:
No its the same thing. You have to go into settings and change it to the SD card. You're still testing internal memory.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
Nor as fast as the Samsung Pro+ cards in the Androbench results. It still has one of the fastest read results on either benchmark, but the write speed is much lower. It's unfortunate because this card was easily beating the Samsungs in the A1 results.

Did you rerun the A1 benchmark at the same time to see if it is still reading the same as when you first tested it? I've found that some cards just slow down after some use and so it may simply be that your card has already started to see its performance decline. Which, of course, points out that we should probably run tests after a month or so of use and report follow-on findings just to see if there are any cards that benchmark fast out of the box and don't hold up over time. Arguably, that is probably the more important metric in the end since the cards will only be "new" once...

The Snapdragon 820 definitely has a UHS-I (SD 3) interface:

qualcomm com/products/snapdragon/processors/820

Question is, whether Samsung is using the 820's SD interface. If yes, how about the interface used for all S7 used outside US and China with Exynos 8890 chip? How does the 8890's SD interface compare to the 820? Does the 8890 have a UHS-II interface, as some comments on the net suggest?

If the SD interfaces between 820 and 8890 S7 differ, we should mark which type was used for the posted benchmarks.

Those look like the right tests this time. Thank you!

This is the first result we've seen on the Lexar 1800x cards and unfortunately it turned in the lowest random write speed by a large margin. Is that result reproducible?

I'd love to see others provide some results on these Lexar cards as well so we can see if it is an issue with the Lexar cards in general or perhaps just a single outlier...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
He was benchmarking the 128gb Lexar 1800x card and actually those results are pretty disappointing. The 73 read speed is one of the lowest in the Androbench results, but at least it is right there in the ballpark. The 19 write speed, however, is one of the lowest we've seen other than the Class 10 Ultras and much much lower than any other U3 rated card in the results. The random speeds are also very low compared to other Androbench results we've seen.

A very disappointing result from Androbench for a card that started with the highest speed claims by far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] flarbear:
Thanks for trying to format the results, but on my browser it came out as a random jumble of underscores unfortunately.
