The shipment went accustomed quickly and easily. The approximately DIN A 6 large package arrived in a huge envelope. But it was so very stable and very well protected.
The memory card thus pushed into the Galaxy Note (memory card with the gold-colored contacts facing down) turned back on and the smartphone. As might be expected announced Android, a new memory card, however, could not be used immediately because of the existing low-level format on the memory card in the exFAT format. But Android offers equal to reformat the card itself precisely. This is done within seconds and the card now holds after formatting ready 59.46 GB of space in the FAT32 format! This file format must be remembered, however, that a file must be "only" should be 4 GB. But this should be the case only for very large media files.
My initial concerns, not being able to use this card in the Galaxy Note with ICS or even awkward to have to reformat the PC have thus vanished into thin air (Note: Only the Samsung Galaxy S3 currently supported natively exFAT In S3 this card should therefore in the delivery condition be used without reformatting and therefore suitable especially for the S3 outstanding!).
The supplied adapter is for the music of course not necessary. As far as the data transfer does not take place via WLAN, but this (eg Ultron UCR internal 8.9 cm (3.5 inch) 75-in-1 Card Reader + USB port) is to fill the card in a special card reader makes sense.
The package is still in a "Promo Code" for SanDisk Media Manager software (for Windows), which can be obtained on the Sandisk website with this code for free! Convenient for those who want to have such software. Absolutely necessary but it is not and so for me just a nice giveaway.
The indicated on the packaging read and write speeds of "up to" 30 MB / s refer always be found on the original exFAT formatting and also vary with the file sizes. These rates can not afford all FAT32, which is not expected to affect especially in practice. For normal everyday use, the rate of this memory card is more than excellent!
Conclusion:
This memory card is for the Galaxy Note Simple Plug 'n Play, and so my recommendation!
