Both Samsung and Lexar sell 128gb memory cards. Does anyone know if one is better than they other? It seems the Lexar has a transfer rate up to 95 mb/s read speed and the Samsung card is 48 mb/s.
 
Does the S5 support 128gb cards? I've been using the same 32Gb SanDisk that came with my Thunderbolt back when I got it 4 years ago. Never had an issue with it but I am thinking of going to a 64Gb card for my note 4.

I think I recall Samsung having a bad run with their cards for a while but I think they got it solved. I would read reviews on both at multiple sites and see. My personal opinion is anything mass produced like that you are bound to have a few here and there with issues there's just no way to avoid it.

The read speed even at 48mb/s is incredible so I wouldn't worry to much about that.

Check the "Class" of the card as well. Higher class number=higher read/write speeds. It's totally my own opinion and not based on any facts or figures whatsoever, but I tend to think they're all pretty interchangeable until you start spending a LOT more for some of the higher quality cards. I've always bought whatever was on sale though and haven't had too many issues with many of the brands out there. I have a preference for Sandisk, but again, don't think they're much different between brands.
 
Did you have a chance to try the 128GB card in your S5 yet?
 
I haven't gotten it yet. It's coming from China...takes forever. They said it was mailed. Still waiting.
 
Just got it today and mounted it. No problems yet. This thing is really tiny.

Just copied over about 47 albums and it hardly made a dent. Lovin' it.
