memory card help

are the new microsdch cards compatible with the touch pro

I've never heard of those, but micro sdhc cards work fine , I'm using an 8mb one

i think sdhc cards are min 4GB dont think anybody feel that 8MB cards are that high capacity

i dunno....it's pretty high capacity for something smaller than my little fingernail

I'm about to purchase a microsd for my HTC Touch pro and i'm between :
Kingston 8gb SDHC class 4
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=170972
and
SanDisk 8gb SDHC class 2
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=158255
and
Expansys 8gb SDHC class 2
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=164646
Now the question is will the HTC support any of the 3 and why the heck is the class 4 kingston lower cost than the other two seeing as its supposed to be faster ? :/

Dunno. Kingston are usually cheaper than sandisk anyway, and i wouldn't touch Expansys' own brand stuff with a bargepole.
Oh and yeah, it should work fine.

Yep, they'll all work. Go for the Kingston. Class 4 is indeed faster. Probably cheaper because it's newer stock (you can tell from the Expansys stock code).
Expansys never seem to reduce prices on accessories like these. They go in at a certain price, and stay at the same price 'til they're all gone. By the way, hold out for a couple of weeks (hopefully?) and you should be able to pick up a 16Gb MicroSD for about £50...
Oh, and if you hit Google, you can usually find a £10 Expansys voucher knocking around for purchases over £20...
EDIT: Just looked at the links, The SanDisk one is Class 4 as well, so I'd probably go for that one, as they're the same price, and I've had loads of flawless SanDisk cards over the years...

Yeah, Expansys are kinda expensive. Try mobymemory, I've always had an excellent experience with them.

8GB Class 4 SanDisk WITH card reader, loads cheaper. Plus when they say it's in stock, you can be pretty certain that it actually is.

Hi, regarding the different speed classes of the micro sdhc cards:
Does it always make sense to use the fastest card and does this really affect the performance according the cards speed class?
I mean does anybody know about the maximum speed of the card interface of the touch pro? I'm thinking to buy the SanDisk Ultra (class 6)

Within the device itself, the class of the card won't matter too much. A class 4 is probably comparable to a class 6, and certainly wont make a difference when it comes to playing mp3s or viewing pictures. But a class 6 card will certainly make file transfers faster on to/off of the card using a PC (best results if you use a separate usb/card adapter and not "disk mode" on your Touch Pro).
For reference, I'm using A-DATA Class 6 8gb MicroSDHC, works perfectly and no errors. Available for $31 at Newegg (if you're in US).

sandisk class 4 sdhc microsd 8 GB is the fastest at the moment and you can get it for 33 euro.. works fantastic..

32 GB microsSDHC?

Maybe more of a general q... but, have you seen any 32GB cards for sale yet?

havent seen one for sale yet.. they need to come out with more 16gb micro sdhc cards at a higher speed classes.. class 2 cards are slower than class 6 and ive only seen an A-Data class 6 memory card..

They were supposed to release 'Summer 2009', but I have yet to even see one hit ebay, which is where they mostly come first. Maybe the Nexus will speed that up a bit and they will finally get released since there is demand for them.

i am interested in one also

N1 + 32gig SDHC will finally replace my rapidly failing iPod.
Well, as soon at the cards hit the market.

forget the 32gb class 6. Wait and get the new MicroSDXC thats to be released sometime soon. up to 2TB and class 10. Although not sure if the nexus will be able to support that much but i dont see why not.

The nexus one supports (specifically) Micro SDHC cards up to 32gb

Once faster and higher storage cards come out, expect the price of the existing class 6 cards to drop like rain.

Can anyone suggest any good 16gb memory cards at the time being till they release a 32gb? I will be rooting my phone soon and I don't really know much when it comes to SD cards. Can someone kindly point me in the right direction please? Thanks to anyone if not everyone who helps me.

This is the one I use from NewEgg... it $49 w/free shipping.

Is that a good brand to go with? I heard of Kingston and scandisk but never heard of that brand. Its class 6 so I'm guessing its pretty good right? I'm gonna want to put apps to SD card as well. Thank you for site and info if you can just answer this one last question in this post i will be very thankful.

They don't sell them at all? How is it that the nexus can hold up to 32gb and they don't sell/make the cards we need?

The cost don't really bother me. I cant see it costing more then $175-$200 USD. which is really not that much compared to 16gig IPOD touch which is $280.39 from amazon.com

That is true, however my Nokia 6263 and 5310 could both specifically support up to 4gb uSD cards. I was able to use my 16gb uSDHC cards with no problem, though.
And I'd hope that SDHC > SDXC is merely a software upgrade.

I found this benchmark data for the 16 gig card from newegg. In short, sounds like a really good card though I know nothing of the brand.

I have a Micro 16GB AData class 6...works great!
See my signature line for the link.
The 32 GB will be great when it comes, but 16GB is still better than the mere 4GB card N1 comes with

Micro SD card

I'm going to buy a card and would like recommendations on which brand?
Thanks!

Cant go wrong with sandisk

can i use micro sdhc ?

You'll have to use microSDHC on the gTablet (or any device) if you want anything larger than 2GB
microSD (and the larger SD Cards) max out at 2 GB
microSDHC (SDHC in general) goes up to 64 GB I believe -- but only 32 GB cards are starting to be available...
I have a WINTEC 16GB rated at Class10 speeds that works fine. The price was right -- only $28 via NewEgg

Agreed Sandisk is a reputable company with a good product. I heard of to many issues with other "brands".

For any kind of computer memory I stick with the brands that I know and trust:
Kingston
Patriot
Sony
It's just too much of pain to lose your data and memory is ridiculously cheap these days.

I would throw in that the adata microsdhc cards you can get from Newegg are usually priced right and work great. I had one that went bad, but adata warranty replaced it very promptly. I have a few that I use with my Nintendo DS, which can be fussy, and they've always been great. Lifetime warranty too.

Q: Large micro SDHC Cards

Hello guys and gals,
I am starting to feel the pinch with an 8 Gb memory card and wondered if anyone had found a good, cheap and compatible 16 or 32 Gb micro SD cards for the Desire S.
EBay seems to have some 32gb cards for about 10 GBP which sounds insane.
Anyone got a suggestion for this UK Desire S user?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

You don't want a cheap one, spend those 30€ on a class 10 card. It's well worth it its faster and will probably not die on u as some cheap one might.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

Do NOT buy cards from ebay. They will always be fake, when they arrive they will say 32gb but if you perform a scan with a tool it shows its actual capacity to be 1gb! Don't fall for it like I did!
Just use google shopping and search for the cheapest price for a memory card from a reputable site.
In fact, I see you're in the UK and theres a good deal on from play:
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/16710254/Lexar-16GB-Micro-SDHC-Memory-Card-Class-4/Product.html
I bought a 16GB class 6 about half a year ago for £18 so this is a pretty good deal.
From experience classes dont make much of a difference at all, maybe miniscule. This card comes with a 5 year warranty so no need to worry about it dying on you.

I ordered a 16gb class 10 y/day from play for £17.99 It's Pny but will do the job

Cheers for the replies. I thought eBay would have been a rip but you never know with that place, some crazy deals happen and we miss them because we fear them (and quite rightly 99% of the time).
Might pounce on the 16 Gb Class 10 from Play.com.
Anyone know if the Desire S can take 32Gb cards and are there any good deals on those? Best I've found is £38, give or take pennies.

Far as I know yeah it can handle a 32gb

Yes, it can! =)
Mine is MicroSDHC 32GB Transcend Class4 (TS32GUSDHC4). Works good.

I got my 16 Gb today and its working fine

Did anyone tested an A-DATA / KINGMAX 16GB, class 10?

I got a scandisk 16gb.. works great!
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App

i'm sooo confused about this. i want to buy a 32gb microsd card.
either sandisk class 4 or lexar class 10.
i was about to order the fast one but then read this thread here and some other and got really confused!
any help? has anyone used sandisk class 4?
thanks guys!

If buy a new micro SDHC Card, can i simply copy and paste the old content after formatting?

Yes, i did it recently, had no issue.

Just in case, enable hidden files viewing.

I bought a Samsung 16GB Class10 microSD, works like a charm...

bought a sandisk 16gb class 4, everything is running fast and without problems, don't know if you would "feel" a higher class at all

I spent a lot of time looking on the 'net for a reasonable price 32GB card.
Saw plenty on Ebay but many looked untrustworthy (had a bad experience before!)
Eventually collected a 32GB Class 4 card for £35 from Novatech, local to me.
The Novatech card I got turned out to be Integral brand with 5 year warranty.
It's actually a Toshiba manufactured card made in Japan, so I'm happy with it.
The camcorder app seems to work better with the Class 4 card than it did with the supplied Samsung 8GB Class 2.

I bought Toshiba 16gb class 4 and it is good working.

Been using a 16 GB Class IV Transcend Micro SD card, everythings been peachy so far. Finding a legit 32 GB Class IV Micro sd card is so hard here in my neck of the woods.

It's $70 before using a $10 Off $50 Dollar coupon with the code: NEWCUSTOMER10
It's technically only for new customers but... you could always make a new account.
*Sorry, I can't post links yet*

Anyone has any LONG experience with this card?
I bought the Patriot class 10 one a few months back. Many reviewers said that the card had a lot of file corruptions problem with their Android phones, and that didn't happen in the first month. Mine has been working fine for 3 months, and then a lot of file corruption started to happen. I am in the process of RMA-ing, but I guess I will just sell it and get one from another brand. Seeing how many people are having problem with the Patriot card, I don't want to carry another time bomb in my phone.

No, I mean the card that OP is referring to. Not just any ADATA card or any micro SDHC.

ADATA is one of the more reliable MicroSDHC 32GB cards if you go by the reviews on Newegg
