Hi folks,
I get my XDA Exec in a few days, and I'm pondering memory for it.
I can get a 1GB Kingston MMS at eBuyer for £15 (not inc. P+P):
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/87633
Or a 1GB Kingston SD card for the same:
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/83430
Or a Viking 1GB SD card for roughly the same:
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/cat/Flash-Memory/subcat/Secure-Digital-SD
Viking are even doing a 2GB card for a reasonable price.
Anyone got any thoughts, recommendations, preferences, ones to avoid - or even cheaper prices?

anyone?

Just got a 32 GB Sandisk SD card for my tablet. So far have about 5 gigs of stuff on it, but every time I try to put more, it comes out all garbled and I have to disk repair it in order for it to work again. I have heard of counterfeit cards which claim they are larger than they really are. Both the tablet and PC say there are 32 GB on the card. Is the card bad, is it fake, or am I doing something wrong?
Probably fake. Where did you buy it from and how much did you pay?
ordered the sensation today and wanna ask first how is the card that comes with the device? are people using it or most of you bought a new one?
2nd, which card would you recommend?
It's not a bad card, 8gb class 4 so it's fast enough for most everything. What is too bad is that the phones doesn't have more built in memory. I can fill 8gb fast so for me, a 16 GB card is minimum and the higher the class the better imho.
There are a lot of cards out there, I would recommend a name brand unit and at least class 6. I've got a 32gb class 10 from newegg and it works great (cant find link right now).

good enough? or too much?
That's a link to the seller's feedback so I don't know what item you were looking at. Feedback seems good though.
A Data 32GB here.
sorry, this is the link

You need a micro sd. That link is the wrong one.
ok i give up.. can anyone recommend me on a good and not expensive 16gb card?
I brought a 16gig pny card, its been very good so far.
Newegg has the ADATA 16GB Class 10 card for $25 right now. I bought it for $35 when I got my phone last month & I thought even that price was worth it
Try not to buy anything that are related to storage on ebay or online in general, e.g. microsd card, external harddrive, usb stick...they tend to be always fake. Best to go to local stores with good reputation for these things.
I bought a Lexar 32GB class 10 microSDHC card.
17 MB/sec read
8 MB/sec write
this was using SD tool for android.
I am hoping that once S-OFF is achieved, and we get cyanogen running on this device, the speeds will improve. The card cost me about $90 shipped, and came with a USB to microSDHC adapter. At this point I am very disapointed in the card's performance. Even when using my computer to transfer the data to it, the best I got was about 8 MB/sec write.
Also after a full format on Windows 7, the card only shows 29.8 GB capacity
though the detailed figure was 32,005,685,248 Bytes
I am hoping this card is not a fake. Can anyone else confirm their benchmarks with a 32 GB lexar class 10?
locate a Lexar 16gb class 6 from a reputable dealer.
can be had for around $20.
I get around 7-9mb write and around 17-20mb read speed.
seems like about the same speed as the class 10 Lexar above.
32gb version is too expensive still. don't understand why they cost almost 5 times more when the capacity is only double.

Your capacity is correct. The difference is due to the fact that a properly calculated byte, kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, or terabyte is calculated in base-2. The manufacturers have long been in the habit of calculating in base-10, hence the difference in what's claimed and what you actually see.

I think it might be a bit much to imply that any online vendor should be avoided when purchasing flash memory. As long as it's from a reputable vendor (not a ebay seller or amazon seller), you should be OK and in the event that you end up with a fake you would be protected by the vendor's return policy.

Like white i purchased a lexar 32gb class 10 card. Although transferring to the card was slower than claimed from my hard drive but transferring from my old micro sd to the new one i recieved much higher speeds with a class 6 limit due to the old card. As for onlkne vendors i have purchased all my external/internal and sd cards from ebay. I have had 1 problem but that was my fault because the offered price was too good to be true

hmm i read an article on the main xda page about microsd cards.. it says the sandisk one has better i/o and random reads and writes.. so now im really lost..well in the end.. u still cant transfer more than 4gb file onto your microsd card.

why cant you transfer more than 4gb file onto the card?
sorry for not being specific. You cant transfer more than a 4gb file because that's the limit for a fat32 microsd.... i believe.. lol
Yep, fat32 has a file size limit of 4Gb.
now i doubt there will be any difference between sd cards. We need a2sd or d2sd in order to evaluate better. On the HD2 there was a major difference between class 2 and a class 6 card. On the sensation i have tried class 2 and class 6 the performance seems the same.
i can't find a class 6 32gb sd card i've searched ebay and amazon but couldn't find. where can i find one? and also which brand's card would be good?

Have a look at this thread:32GB MicroSD - working in Desire
You might not need a class 6 card, mot of the time a class 4 card is OK as well. They are cheaper and easier to obtain as well
Why class 6? I would try Samsung's class 10 or Sandisk class 4, depending on the use you are going to give it (Media vs Apps)
32gb card
lexar 32GB (Class 10) card going in the amazon "black friday" thing soon.... 3pm it goes down in price.... dont know how much though so apologies if its a rediculous £2 off or something!!
Also, not sure about the quality of lexar???
san disk the best performance
Not sure where you're located, but Play.com sell 32gb Class 6 Micro SD cards

7 day shop ... 32Gb card class 10 .. very good and fast
i got a 32gb class 6 by CnMemory, which i don't use - i cannot recommend this card! it's slower than my 16gb class4 by transcend
funny. my 32gb card from a-data does not work-stability issues.my phone freezes and restarts after a couple of seconds of doing something what involves the card
Everything i can find on the internet says our galaxy s4 only supports up to 64GB sd cards but I just bought a cheap ($14) 256GB Class 10 micro sd card and my M919 is reading it fine. I'm running 5.0.1
If this has already been discussed else ware, sorry for the re-post!
Download the H2TESTW program to your PC and run it to determine the true capacity of your card, because I'm 99% certain you just got ripped off. Currently, the largest MicroSD card is 200GB, by Sandisk.
Definitely a fake. 200+ gb in microsd cannot feasibly be sold for $14 without taking a major loss. But if/when a real 256gb microsd card is made, the S4 will likely work with it. I don't believe there is a hard upper limit on the capacity supported by the S4's card slot.
Yeah, package might say it, but plug it into your computer and check the bytes on it.
try to copy data on that fake sd (200gb) . after 16gb or 32gb later you will get error .
Yeah it's probably fake
Nothing will cost that cheap!
probably china fake
Wanna buy a bridge?
For a class 10 SD you pay about 1 euro per GB, it is probalby a class 2 which has 4-16GB on it.
China fake
it's definitely a fake one.

Did y check that does the it is read as 256GB instead of of 64GB.
Stay away from that bridge. It will fail! I have a tunnel you can buy for much cheaper!
