Can anyone recommend a micro SD card which works well with my tablet?
Any tips welcome. eg. Is 16g better performer than 32g etc?
Plenty on Amazon but too many to choose from.
TIA.

SD cards are memory. So yes 32GB is better than 16GB, its twice the size.
I have to ask though, do you even need a microSD card?
Depending on the tablet, you will have 8/16/32GB already on there. The SD card is just for additional memory.0 -
It depends how important your data is and what speed of writing your device will support.
If you're recording video and the device supports fast cards, then buy a fast card. If you're storing vital data, then buy a good brand such as Sandisk or Lexar (not off Amazon Marketplace and not off eBay).
I generally buy my memory cards from reputable companies in the UK such as

They might not be as cheap as Amazon, but I know I'm not getting fake cards. Normally I'm buying them for photography, where I use Sandisk Extreme.1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?0 -

If you need to move files around onto the sd card to make space then try ES file explorer which is available on Google Play.0

Thanks, but I meant in terms of performance not space. A few years back, larger capacity memory cards were sometimes less reliable than their smaller counterparts in terms of speed and reliability.
One would hope that this has been sorted out via the passage of time.0
