New Sandisk 128GB MicroSDXC Support

[oditius]

Quick Update:

I did 5 minutes of daylight video recording today (Traffic outside my window) and the shuttering at 1080/30fps does still happen, although not very often. Basically there were 3 brief moments in the video where I could see it dropped maybe 1-3 frames.

At 720p/30fps I saw no issues at all.

I can post the video on OneDrive if anyone is interested (If you are into watching traffic and trains) but for those that were hoping that they could have their 128GB cake and eat it too, I'm going to say probably not yet. For my purposes it works more than well enough and I really do want the space so I'd still say the card is a good buy unless you are heavy into 1080p motion video recording.

Not that I am interested in traffic or trains (Well maybe the trains lol) But it would be nice to see it..... I took a 28 minute video @1080 and it froze my 1520 and did not recover. Not sure if it was the card (Worked great on my laptop) But they replaced the phone.

That's great news...now all I need is a Windows phone that supports MicroSD cards Lumia 925

I'll be ordering one as soon as they're for sale in Canada. My 64GB only has 3GB left, and my music collection keeps growing :-S

Holy Crap! Do you even listen to them or just archive them into the phone as a backup?

I got about 30GB of MP3's and probably even more in video's. I only keep about 1,500 songs on my phone, and a few movie's. Over time you just collect them, I was playing with MP3 Download on my android and went over my 3GB a month downloading songs. Now I have 10GB a month, Hmmmm I smell a challenge. LOL

It was same here, I downloaded over 10gb of music one day. Other than that, I had around 200gbs of music. Adding Hawkwind, it increased by 50gbs or so, lol.

Ask ye shall receive:

I found the test results from the App kind of interesting and I suspect that the Bus is a big limiting factor since I know on a fast interface the card can do (and does) considerably better.

(Thanks for the App suggestion BTW, Been looking for something like that - Michael)

Excellent result! My Ultra 64Gb shows around 5.5-6.0! And I have stuttering when recording video on my 1520. Definitely will buy 128gb version!

Just curious...for those who are already receiving their 128GB cards from Amazon, when did you order them? I ordered mine the day they were listed on Slickdeals, and it still shows Mar 25 delivery.

That app is in no way accurate. When I ran it it told me my phone memory write speed was 60 MBs. I have an Sandisk Extreme card and it showed my write speed as 10.57 MBs. The card is rated as 50 MBs write speed. There may be a bottle neck in the system but even the app states when it does it's write tests it cannot bypassed the file system cache. Not sure what these numbers are but they are not the true naked write speeds.

I'll see if I can upload some video recorded to the SanDisk card later today on a OneDrive share.

I ordered mine within an hour or so after the Amazon page went up (3/5); figured the 1st batch would sell fast...

I ordered mine the day I saw it was available, which according to my email archives was Feb 25). I received mine on Monday this week.

OK, I've posted two videos that were recorded directly to the 128GB Sandisk Card. One was at 1080p/30fps and the other was at 720p/30fps. Both are between 5-6 minutes in length. I'll keep them available for as long as I don't need the OneDrive Space. :wink:

If anyone has any trouble accessing them just let me know.

I just ran it and I have a SanDisk extreme plus, my score was 8.63 MBs and my phone memory was only I'm the 30s.......wtf lol

While I'm not sure of the accuracy of the App (although if it is off I don't think it's by a whole lot) I would recommend running the app a few times to eliminate as much variation in CPU and Background Task interference as possible. Usually when I'm benchmarking something I kill all killable running apps and do 3 passes. You'd be surprised at how variation there can be sometimes.

Sandisk Ultra 64 Gb: 6,20 Mbs ... Lumia 1520 internal memory: 34,25 Mbs (2nd run: 55,45 Mbs)

Well, I will recheck after WP 8.1 - it might change something

Thanks for the responses

You are no right. Vendor's speed of card is the maximum speed that this card can reach. A lot of things can slow down your writing speed (SD Card interface, CPU, Battery level and so on). This app writes 500Mb file to SD card and calculate time taken to finish. Now just simple mathematics and you got your real interface speed. And do not forget that this is mobile device It should not as fast as PC with USB 3.0 interface.

Why a lot of users with Ultra card (30mb write speed) have stuttering while video recording? Just because interface+(other things)+sd card not always produce maximum speed.

For a point of reference tested with a Sandisk Extreme Pro 64GB card:

SD Write speed: 10.55Mbs
Phone memory write speed: 79.52Mbs

FWIW I ran the test 3 times, the highest speed recorded for the SD write speed was 10.92Mbs, the lowest 10.51Mbs.

I have googeld but couldn't find the official bus speed for 1520. Anybody knows the Vendor/Nokia numbers for read/write speed to MicroSDXC card incise 1520?
