Just purchased a SanDisk 128gb Ultra from Amazon. Put it in my Note Pro, formatted then transferred files from old card thru a card reader. Works fine. I've always had good luck with SanDisk cards.

Sorry Chuck if I misled you. I'm using a 128gb card in my Note Pro Tablet. I took the 64gb card from the tablet and use it in my Note4. Both cards work fine

I don't use it, but I tried a SanDisk one and it worked. In my experience SD Cards tend to fail around me and Samsung phones, so I don't trust them anymore, but we still don't know if it's me, Samsung phones, or just the universe. Either way, keep your files backed up. ProTip.

I think I will go with the Samsung 128GB EVO. Samsung in a Samsung. I had a Sandisk 64 and had to get it replaced cause things would not erase from it the one I got as a replacement is working fine though.

I wanted to get the 128GB Samsung card. Looked at BestBuy and they want $199. I think I'm going through Amazon.

Re: Anyone using a 128GB SD card?

So, I wonder. Will there be a tangible benefit with choosing a 90MB/s card vs. a 48MB/s card?

Anecdotal evidence says yes but I'd be interested in real benchmarks with the Note 4 because it is not clear from what I have seen that the internal I/O structure of the device can really take advantage of the faster cards. And then does it really matter as long as functionality is unaffected? I certainly don't see any issues with the EVO card that I am using and that includes video recording and playback. The cost of going to much faster cards is not insignificant so I personally don't see the value as being there.

I had asked because I chose to get two 90MB/s 64GB cards for my Note 4 and Edge instead of 48MB/s 128GB cards. I didn't think I'd use up the space so I opted for the "faster" PNY Elite models.

Re: Anyone using a 128GB SD card?

SD Cards and Powerbanks are extremely useful to most of us. I am writing to help you make a more informed decision and make aware what is going on all over the internet specially eBay. First let us begin with SD CARDS. Fake Powerbanks / External smartphone chargers on the next blog. Do not miss this blog.

SD CARDS - There is a big reason why we decided not to sell these products although the market is very hot right now. First of all, thousands of seller online are selling them ridiculously cheap. Based on eBay pricing, we went ahead and contacted several manufacturers overseas. We received quotes that were really cheap and really expensive. To make a long story short, we have made contact with one very honest salesperson and this is what we found out. There are 2 types of SD CARDS sold everywhere. The most common one is what the manufacturer told us is the "upgrade version". The upgraded version is tweaked to show a higher capacity than it actually has. It will show 32GB but real capacity is 8GB. Not only that it is fake, it will also crash after it reaches its limited capacity and the seller gets away with it because buyers have already left a good feedback ( ebay ) before it crashed. They also have fake brands such as Samsung and the likes. Not only that these are sold on eBay, They are all over AMAZON. Buyers also will blame the quality of the product instead because they did not know it was fake.

I would only buy an SD cards from these bigs name: Sandisk, Samsung, or PNY. ...and I would only buy them from a retailer that I could easily and quickly visit if there was a problem. Even with SanDisk I've had their lower/mid tiered lines crap out in several devices. With their "Extreme" line that costs more the card has been more than durable and fast, working consistently well in multiple devices without reformatting. I've had a very well performing mid-end PNY 32GB card that's also been very durable. Just recently, I got two of PNY's higher-end Elite series 64GB cards and they're in my Note Edge and Note Pro. ...both are performing well. That's the happy story. The unhappy story is all the cheap cards that have failed. I've never believed in trying to save a penny by buying cheap but occasionally I try to sneak by my rule of not doing that. Each time I try I end up sorry.
So if I ever do find the need for a 128GB card it'll be a Samsung Pro, SanDisk Extreme, or PNY Elite. ...better safe than sorry.

Bestbuy has the SanDisk Ultra 128gb class 10 on sale for $79.99 today. Read speed is only 30mbps but that is good for what I would use it for.
