"I'm after a 64 GB micro SD card."
Tue Jan-27-15 04:21 AM by Stevehiker

          

Got a new phone, Galaxy S5. Of course it didn't come with a memory card. I've looked on Amazon and NewEgg, but didn't see too much worthwhile. I was hoping someone here may have come across what I'm after.

Edit: Mostly pictures would be going on it.

So you're saying of the 519, 64GB MicroSD cards ranging from $17.99 to $82.95 at Newegg that you couldn't find one to suit you?

My problem is that there are names that I've never heard of: Patriot, Team, G.Skill, to name a few.

NewEgg has been carrying those brands for a long time. I wouldn't hesitate to buy any of them. You need to read the customer reviews, don't pay too much attention to the really good or really bad reviews. Try to read enough reviews for each product to get an idea of what the average is. Also remember that many reviewers don't understand or know how to use the items they purchased, so they give a bad review.

Behind every good computer... is a jumble of wires 'n stuff.

Okay, I'll get back over to NewEgg tomorrow and do a more thorough job of research.

For what it's worth, I've always used SanDisk cards in my phones and cameras.

I agree, SanDisk products have done the job for me for years with NO failures, ever. And, Steve, you mentioned Patriot--that, too, is a great product brand that stands with the best of them (in my experience).

What is the difference between sdxc and sdhc and would either one be fine in my phone for just 'regular' storage? I can't see myself downloading videos.
