16GB microSDHC suggestions?

I want a Class 6 one. But I think over $50 on newegg is too expensive.
8GB for $15-20 on newegg... and the 16GB is double in space but more than double in price.
Where'd you get your 16GB Class 6 and how much?

Newegg ... $55-$60.

Yeah, Adata is the one I got, just couldn't remember the price exactly.

in one of these SD card threads, someone posted their result that a class 2 was just as fast as a class 6 for USB transfers. Do we really need class 6? can our phones even utilize the faster speed?

i'm with minty on this. you won't rly notice the difference. i've been using a class 2 sandisk 16gb since the day it was released about a year and a half ago. I don't regret spending that money at all, it's been with me with the g1, and now the nexus. File transfers are plenty fast and it hasn't skipped a heartbeat. I've had some dud flash memory cards in the past and they have all been cheaper cards. all of my transcend and sandisk cards are still going strong after years of use, so just go for one of those imho.

do you happen to be running the latest CM mod with 720p video recording? I'm holding back on buying a sandisk 16g class 2 because i'm worried about write speeds/some crazy error.

sandisk 16gb class2
heres one for about 30bucks. a lot of good reviews.

The throughput of USB transfer might only be <2mb/sec max, but that's not necessarily the same for the internal bus transfer speeds.
I imagine, internally, it's faster. Even if it isn't, (IMO) a Class6 is more "future proof".

That link doesn't work...in fact,none of Amazon's links for products do! :| I'm going to side with Namuna,and say it may not be faster,but it may work with newer devices.

Holy crap, the 16gb AData card I got from Newegg I've had for awhile just filled up. It said it was 15.9gb out of 16gb but when I counted up all the files on the sd card they totalled just below 4gb.
I'm surprised Newegg would be selling fakes.

nope, but if that feature is in the first beta release of cm-6 then I will try it and let you know since i'll get overly excited as usual and install it right away.

I bought a Kingston 16gb Class10 two months ago.
It's about USD 90-95 in eBay.
I have no problem with 720p video recording.

which 16gb memory card

hi i'm after a 16gb memory card but don't know what class to get, as cheap as possible but it must be from a well known manufacturer

Probably doesn't matter what anyone says - whichever brand person X stands behind, somenoe else will say it failed on them and to go for brand Y.
Having said that, I have a 16gb Kingston class 2 which has been perfect, cost about £25 or so when I got it. Recently picked up the same but a class 10. That one was about £80 including shipping as I wanted to see the speed difference, etc.
Not sure what others people will swear by. I don't swear by Kingston, but I have yet to have one go bad on me...

And was the Class 10 worth it for speed?
I've used both Kingston and Sandisk in the past - and currently have a 8GB Class 6 Sandisk in my desire. It's been just fine.
I'd like to make the leap to a 32GB card, but I'm slightly concerned the Class 2 one available might have issues. (Although I've read many contradicting posts on that subject too!)

@TractorMatty
Between an older 16gig class 2 and the 16gig class 10 yes - galleries rendered much quicker, seemed more responsive, etc.
But between a class 6 and a class 10... meh. Not worth it at the moment.

Does it matter what class you get? Because so far I can only find a 16bg class for over just £20.

Using Team Group 16GB microSDHC Class 6.
Got it from ebay

Go for Classe 6 it's almost like a C10, but cheaper (and you won't really notice any difference).

Well, i can tell the diff between my shipped in Desire's Samsung 4G Classe 2 and my previous Sandisk 8G Classe 4... My Classe 4 is faster.

I got a 8gb class 4 Kingston.. its fast enough for me...
Sent from my Desire using XDA App

I took the risk and tried the 32gb, online for $40au... failed miserably and still scarred by the copious time spent trying to copy, format, reformat, copy... with most ending up in the lost.dir (except for 1.2gb that ended up working).
Since then, have got a 16gb SanDisk. It's only a Class 2, but haven't had any issues with speed whether it be reading or writing. Avi's play in sync... Good bang for the buck.
Mind you, I only went for SanDisk because they were always good to me in the standard SD days, but have heard plenty of good word on Kingston and Lexar.

32gb on ebay are 75% fakes.

I just got my Kingston 16gb Class 10 card. Do you guys think my card reader's speed is maxed out and it might be able to go faster than this?

I'll be getting THIS ONE when they get it back in stock.

Well, just got a Kingston 16Gb class 10 and can't use it, because it's defective .
But I'm not blaming Kingston, it can happen with any brand and I'm gonna exchange it... Hopefully I have a Sandisk 16Gb class 2, a not-very-fast-but-working-SD-card....

Samsung 32Gb Class 10 microsd

Just bagged one of these for £39.99, thought it was a good deal
http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_6&products_id=112725

Hello,
I have it, bought on Amazon at 32€
It works fine.

I bought Lexar 32gb class 10 for 47$...
www.amazon.com/Lexar-MicroSDHC-Memory-Reader-LSDMI32GBSBNAR/dp/B004AM610M
Waiting for delivery...

I can vouch for LEXAR. perfect at around 10MBPS for video files and ROM zips lol. Bought mine for 50

Thanks for the heads-up on this.
Been looking around for a while for a decent 32GB card and this seems to be the cheapest of it's kind. There are some cheaper ones around but a lower class of 6 or 4.

In for the updates.
I currently have a Patriot 32GB Class 10... It's awful. Likely the worst card on the market. I've had so many issues with it. It corrupts easily. It's happened a few times this year. Each time it did it I lost just about everything on the card. (Luckily I use TI Media Sync to back up my card to my FTP server.)
I don't use USB to mount the card as a drive that often. Usually I use Samba or something to wirelessly move files. But the times it has corrupted was when it was either sitting idle or I was watching a video.
I just ordered the ADATA 32GB Class 10 since it's got a lot of good reviews. But I'd like to see how you guys do with this card. I could always sell my ADATA card and buy this one if it turns out to be better.
EDIT:
Never mind. I canceled my order for the ADATA card and just ordered the US version of this one. I like Samsung products. Their SSDs are freaking amazing and their customer support has been really good so far. This one was only $2 more than the ADATA one so it wasn't worth the wasted time to try the ADATA first.

Been running ADATA 32G C10 card for quite a few months now . Not a single hiccup
ever ! Great card quality and highly recommended .

I am waiting for micro sd's to go on sale. Lexar 32gb one on amazon up to $66 ._.

Got the Samsung card today.
First off, it's the first and ONLY large capacity SD card I've put into my laptop that was recognized. My Laptop has recognized all cards 4GB and down, but it didn't recognize either of my 16GB or 32GB cards without asking to reformat them. I don't know why. I wasn't expecting my laptop to recognize this 32GB card. But it did. So that's a BIG plus.
Secondly, I'm using RoboCopy to move over all my stuff from my phone over USB to the new card in the SD slot. There's about 20GBs of crap to send over. Robocopy isn't telling me how fast it's going, but it's taking about 5 seconds to copy over 100 MB, so I put that at > 10MB/s easily. Probably a lot faster. I'll run crystal mark on it as soon as I get done copying my crap over and then I'll do an SD Speed test on my phone.
For the record I've never been able to get the Patriot 32GB card in my phone right now to write faster than 8MB/s (which I honestly believe is due to the phone's limitations, not the cards).
The only reason I'm changing cards at all is because the Patriot keeps corrupting. I've lost so much, thanks to the patriot SD. The one week I turned off Titanium Media Sync is the one week my SD card freaked out. LOL That'll teach me to turn off backup.
Anyway, I'll post up the results from both cards if I have time.

FYI, SanDisk's having a black Friday sale. the 32gb micro sdhc is $50 on their site. can't make out what class from the pic on my mobile.

I would have bought SanDisk if I could find a class 10 micro SD, but I couldn't find ANYONE who sold a SanDisk 32GB class 10.
I think that pretty much all 32GB Class 10 MicroSDs are garbage and SanDisk doesn't want to tarnish their name.
On the flip-side, I've found that the Samsung is just as fast on my Sensation as the Patriot, which is fine. I never had a problem with speed. Lets see how long this one lasts, though.

16GB SD card

i was thinking about getting a 16 gb sd card i found this card on ebay and was wondering if anyone can tell me if it would work with the phone as well if it was good. thank you

It should work. But honestly, get the Amazon Basics Class 10 16GB microSD card. Faster and just as reliable. If it is available in your country that is.

It looks like a good deal for me. It will work well for the phone and it is good if it's not a counterfeited one. Sandisk MicroSD are known to be counterfeited a lot, especially on eBay.
Btw, you don't need a class 10 card. For whatever you do with your phone, you don't need to write in 10MB/s. 1080p video from the G2, for example, has a bit rate of only 2.5MB/s.
edit: I found the same microSD, sold by the same merchant, and cheaper at Amazon UK

The cheapest seller (currently Onebo, selling at £15) has only a 3.5/5 star rating, only 25% positive review. Some of the buyers complain that the microSD doesn't even have a Sandisk logo. I am not quite sure you want to buy from this seller.
I really recommend clicking the "63 new" line, them scroll down choosing Amazon UK as a seller. It's more expensive, but you're sure that you don't buy a fake card.
Regarding 64GB and class 10, it's totally your choice. 64 GB sure can store lots of stuff, and you can copy (from the computer) to the card quite fast.
In the other hand, 64GB class 10 card is about 3-4 times more expensive than the 32GB class 4 counter part. Not the most cost efficient option. In additional, the phone won't be able to utilize the class 10 bandwidth in most of your daily activities.

The only two manufacturers that make 64GB cards are Kingmax (who built the card in the first place) and SanDisk (who doesn't make anything above a Class 6), and neither cards are Class 10. I'm actually pretty pleased with the 64GB card in my Doubleshot.

It appears the UI and system apps that touch the SD are a bit more snappy. ie, gallery.
They do a 32GB bit I think the max speeds are a bit lower.

Inviato dal mio HTC Desire Z by Zendarino

About dealextreme: buying from that site is pretty much a hit-and-miss. I have actually bought a lot of stuff from there. They're cheap, but also terribly slow at shipping. They also don't usually have goods in stock, and they backorder from the suppliers. NEVER buy there if you are in hurry, never.
Especially about memory cards, you never know if you're gonna get a genuine or a fake item. They just seem to ship whatever they have in stock. You might be lucky or not
Just buy from Amazon if you can. I have bought a Samsung 16GB class 10 for my Desire Z for 20€, and the increase in speed while loading the gallery is noticeable.

thats a Class 10 32 gb micro sd card for $30, plus it comes with free shipping!...that sounds like a good deal to me...dont know how well it works though, there are no reviews yet...just got an email from newegg so thats how i found out

If speed nor 32gb is a concern, I just bought a 16gb class 4 at the price of $USD 2.99. The price went up a bit. But for $2.99, it was worth upgrading from my 2gb stock sd card! However, there is no micro to sd card adapter included. That wasn't an issue for me because I already own three of them.
