Fast and responsive card for my Galaxy S3
After my phone's internal storage was entirely depleted by all my media files, I needed a way to expand it's capacity. I've never bought an SD card for my phone until now and I really wish I bought this when I first got my phone... Better late than never. This card easily and quickly stores my media files and I can access them just as fast as I could through the internal storage. Also, I feel the price for this product feels like a steal for the ample amount of extra storage I'm getting. Now that my phone has it's 8gb of internal storage released, it works much smoother again like it did when I first bought it. The only drawback for me has been that in lieu of the android 4.4 update, I can no longer properly execute apps stored on the card, music files have become read only, and other odd changes have made it harder to manage files in the SD card. A quick google search and I found an explanation that is more informed than my assumptions: "Prior to Android 4.4, any app had complete access to the SD card and what this means is that any app could not only read the entire contents of the SD card, but also had global write access to the card. As such, a malicious app could be in the position to read the information stored to the SD Card by other apps (often called a banking app) or even make changes to the data. This is of course one of the reasons why Google has introduced the change to SD cards with Android 4.4. Apps can now only access a portion of the SD Card now with KitKat, which is confined to each app. Read access is still possible, for example, so that alternative galleries can gain access to pictures. As well, when you uninstall an app from your device, the corresponding folder is now delete on the SD card so that no garbage is left behind." This is not fault on the SD card itself! For those who have phones that don't run Android this obviously doesn't concern you, but just a warning for those who expect complete power over the storage unit on an non-rooted Android powered device.
