I’ve had varied issues using SD cards as storage extension for my FP2. The system is usually updated as soon as updates become available, write-load is low and so far, I’ve chosen cards quite large in size to avoid deleting data and overwriting the empty space. First, I was dumb enough to format an…

Here you go: [image] pencil2 List of compatible microSD / SDXC cards for FP2 Guides ATTENTION!! This wiki is just a list by FP2-users. It is there to share experience with MicroSD cards. It is nothing official by Fairphone. Fairphone does not sell any of these cards. …

Yes, I saw the topic - the SD card that wasn’t writable and finally broke after 5 months is listed there as fully functional. Hence, not a shopping list I’d like to use for reliability. Thanks though!

[image] AnnaNymos: So no more SanDisk for me. I (with a FP2) and my parents (with another smartphones) have no problems with our three 64 GB SanDisk Ultra microSD cards . But we didn’t remove the SD cards from the phone after installation. I use the card since I got the FP2 (which was on 8 Jan…

Hi tofra, You’ve been using the card for two years, is the same true for your parents? Thanks for your reply and for sharing! To the interested general public – :wink: I’m confident removing a card twice doesn’t impact its lifespan given it’s handled with care. (I’ve also used ample non-microSDs…

[image] TobiasF: I (with a FP2) and my parents (with another smartphones) have no problems with our three 64 GB SanDisk Ultra microSD cards. I had that as well for almost a year now, never a problem formatted as external storage. Will now replace it with the SanDisk Extreme 128 GB microSDXC …

Hey A.Elk, thanks for your input! Hint: Backup, backup… :wink: To me, yearly replacing is ok if prices are low as they are as for non-brand cards. Data loss due to card issues before end of assumed lifecycle (I assume two years) is an absolute no-go to me, hence I used brand cards. Now I learn that…

[image] AnnaNymos: To me, yearly replacing is ok if prices are low as they are as for non-brand cards. I would have used it longer, but I ran out of space … I will now try to use it in my trusty and anachronistically old MP3 player to replace the 32GB card there :wink: . I have a few defunct…

[image] AnotherElk: You just have to be aware of the possibility this might happen and try to be not too dependent. Some phones do not provide SD slots at all. For this very reason, it seems… out of space… new phone.

[image] AnnaNymos: You’ve been using the card for two years, is the same true for your parents? Mother’s card (as well as mine) was purchased in December 2015, father’s card was purchased in October 2017. Both were installed shortly after delivery.

I’m very happy with the Toshiba Exceria line. I’ve been running a 64GB version for the first year, then switched for a 128GB version when it became more affordable :money_with_wings: No problems of any kind as for now * knock on wood *. I’m running my SD card as encrypted extension of my internal m…

Which SD cards are working flawlessly and long-term for you?
