where to buy 16GB micro sdhc class 6 from?

amazon is too annoying, brings up anything and everything, don't trust ebay
mymemory has class 2 or class 10 for £80+
help

NM, found a thread on this forum and got one ordered. yay!

from? link?

Bought all my SD Cards from these guys http://www.mobymemory.com/micro-SD.asp

this thread isnt in the wrong section at all.............

Can I ask why people care about the class? I've just got a class 2 32gb card from Vodafone for £89. I've not noticed any problems or slowdown taking pictures or playing media...which are the only things my card is used for. Transfers are no slower than any other device I connect via USB.
What's the big fuss?

it's for running apps from in the (hopefully) near future.
class 6 means (i think) a minimum 6Mb/sec transfer rate
oh, got it from memory cow

Yes, but most people have suggested they see no difference when using apps2sd with the "slower" cards. It seems there's a lot of assumptions being made leading to actual sales decisions where it may not be needed.
See this fellow who thought a faster card would solve his issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708859

So where is no differences between class 2 and class 6 ?
Because i have dilemma now, i want to buy some high capacity microSD card, and if i take 32GB it will be class 2, and if i take at same cost 16GB card it will be class 6.
And does any body try to buy 32GB card from Ebay ? ( i am worrying that 32GB is not GB, its Gb, and that means just 4GB )
Thanks for help

i woul;dn't trust the cards off ebay tbh

I went ahead and bought the Transcend 16gb class 6 card through OFFTEK. It arrived with the adaptor, and was very prompt.
http://www.offtek.co.uk/item_detail....at=1&subcat=74
Pretty good price too. I just copied everything to my desktop, swapped cards and copied back.
The new card works great, but i did notice that the full card size is stated as "14.96gb" on the phone, rather than 16.

I also wonder if there is a difrence between a class 2 or class 6 card when playing movies, apps or taking pictures on your SD card.
because that would make the difrence between going for a 32gb or 16gb card.

well, i noticed a difference when copying files. both cards broke 10MB/sec on large files, but the old card dropped damn quick when copying loads of small files - e.g photos.
i'd imagine it would be like this when looking through an album or flicking from one image to the next. it's not about the max speed, but the minimum.

37 euro's for class 10/16GB seems waaay to cheap for me.
I also doubt it's a micro sd

THE CLASS OF AN SD CARD IS TO DO WITH ITS WRITE SPEED NOT ITS READ SPEED, YOU WONT NOTICE ANY DIFFENCE WHEN READING FROM IT

Perfectly normal not to get the quoted capacity, combination of space lost due to formatting and the tendency of hardware producers to size storage media in decimal (ie. 16 000 000 000 bytes) rather than the binary equivalent - which the OS displays (16 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 bytes).
I've confused myself with that statement - in short the hardware manufaturers use a commonly accepted, flattering but actually incorrect notation to lead you to believe that you are getting more for your money - HTH

Kingston make a 16gb class10, but it's pretty expensive (~100€)

Oh, and by the way, up to what class num can the Desire actually handle ?

I picked up my SanDisk 16GB Class 6 from the Carphonewarehouse when i went and got my Desire,,, i beleive it was £42
IMO i have always used Class 6 cards, i think they are the business, i dont care for read and write speeds i just need something that works and is reliable, SanDisk have always had my back so there ya go

FIND TURNED REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 32 GB Micro SD... Good Find???

So, after having found these and purchased the Sandisk I found that its performance was lackluster. It ran slower than my 16 gb Dan-Elec. Reading and writing. I wound up returning it and purchasing the Dan-Elec 32gb today. Lo and behold the read and write times are faster. Plus an extra 5 years on the warrenty. Very surprising. A class 4 Sandisk .vs a class 2 semi unknown. Unknown wins!!! I am very happy.
These are the least expensive options I have found to date. With the new options in development is it recommended to get the class 4? Besides running apps, there is no difference.
The 720p video, from what I have heard and from personal experience on my class 2 16 gig, is the same for playback.

Which one would you guys get???

I would go with the first one, class 4 on a 32gb

depending on how strapped you are there is a class 10 card available as a 32gb microsd

For our purposes, would the extra speed help besides the occasional(seldom) sync to the computer for backup? If no, I would rather save the $15-$35!

I would go with the SanDisk Class 4.
A couple things to remember, the class number is an indication of the MINIMUM write speed that the card is capable of. In my experience, SanDisk cards typically out perform their class on a regular basis.
A higher write/read speed is nice but not sure where to draw the line as far as 'overkill' is concerned.
IMO, a class 4 card is just fine. I don't think the extra speed makes that big of a difference.

I think you are correct, especially after reading this in a similar thread------------------->http://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=918

I saw a benchmark test video on digital cameras showing that a Class 2 Sandisk SD Card was clearly faster than Class 4 SD cards from other brands.

Personally I've found that Samsung cards perform best for me - that means speed above their rated class, and more importantly I've NEVER had a Samsung card corrupt on me.
I won't use any other brand now (and most other brands are just Samsung or Sandisk cast-offs, rebranded). My data and my time is too important. I'd sooner use a class 4 or 6 Samsung than a class 10 anything else, and I guarantee you it would read/write just as quick.
EDIT: This love for Samsung only extends to their SD cards - they can stick their phones up their ***es!

Funny edit!!!
Where to find them though?

i have a class 10 16gb but honestly i do not see anything "upgraded" from the stock class 2 8gb. I do not store my apps on SD (YET) so maybe that would be improved when the time comes. Also i was hoping when you open your picture gallery the image would load up more clear but faster but nope still the same. I think get the cheapest one and run with it.

Good choice, anything greater than class 6 is wasted on the phone, even with "HD" recording capability.
As for brand, Sandisk has always made reputable products, and they stand by their products, should anything go wrong.
I'm looking forward to getting my 36GB 4 class soon...

But honestly, I'd rather have a kingston/sandisk class 4 than a generic class 10 brand. That's a lot of data to lose if something goes wrong. Besides, based on reviews, Sandisk underrates their cards. my 16gb class 4 sandisk is actually benchmarked as a class 6.

If the links dont work, just search them up on EBAY. Sorry my search results are australian based. Just change it.

if you use Apps2SD you definitely want a minimum a Class 6 card
ideally get a Class 10, you can easily feel (time) the difference between a class 4 vs class 6 in real life usage

I have a Class 6 16gb card,transfer rate on windows 7 between 5mb and 7mb sometimes don't have enough time to convert a movie and just copy the 2.5gb or 4gb the movie str8 to sd card and the phone plays it flawless if you're a camera addict or just want a good SD Card buy a Class 6 or above some users are ok with class 1 to

My Lexar Class 10 32GB from Amazon UK certainly writes as it should. I am getting the occasional glitch after writing to it from my Mac - not sure if it is the card or the SD card management. Not a major issue at the moment - wait and see if it gets worse.

Amazon is safer than eBay that's for sure, as long as you buy only the ones that are sold by "Amazon" itself, not the "others" cheaper retailers
back then i purchased some collector DVDs, and they sent me fake ones, but i paid for original ones, of course i though the cheaper available ones were also legit, but boy was i wrong
since then i learned to not pick any of the sellers on Amazon, and buy from Amazon retail only

i just tested my sandisk 16gb class 4 with crystaldisc mark..
i get 5.9MB from the adapter but only 3.2MB from the phone
y is it like this?

On Ebay depends on the vender you buy, I purchase RAM from Australia to Portugal, and it works fine.
But of course Amazon is faster and more reliable.

SD card recommendation?

I never bought one before.... so, please recommend me a solid performer.... and price does not really matter but I always like the price/performance ratio..... 16-32 is fine.

I would completely avoid using ebay for SD cards! They are alot cheaper but you will be lucky to get a genuine card, Ive heard that over 90% are fake. Often you will be lucky to get 2GB on a card and it will probably break within a week.
"This is a brand 16GB Class 10 Micro-SD memry card and comes supplied with a full sized SDHC adaptor and comes in a memory card case with no other retail packaging. All of our memory is 1000% genuine. This 16GB memory cards use Intel memory chips.
Please note: printing on the memory card may differ slightly from our image."
wow 1000% genuine. that's a whole 10x more genuine than an actual genuine one!
I might be cynical but if the seller uses bad English and grammar in his advert I would be careful! Also if they are genuine cards why would the printing differ?
Best spending a little extra and buying from a trustworthy website.

I am using a patriot class 10 16gb off amazon for £26 which I'd recommend without hesitation

The joyflash one looks more legitimate as they are a known company.
However that patriot one just posted is cheaper.
What difference do the brands make I know sandisk and kingston are the best known, but what differences is there between them 2 and the joyflash and patriots?

I've used Sandisk, Kingston and a couple of other ones in my desire HD and best one I have found so far is Lexor 16gb class 4 , quite fast for copying files, HD video records without stuttering and for £14.99 off play it was a bargain

Remember that class speeds are a minimum, known brands are more likely, in my experience, to understate the class thus you know a sandisk class 6 card is going to be a fair bit faster than a no make class 6

I've got a 16 GB SanDisk microSD Card in my DHD.
It's reliable, cheap and the speeds are descent.
I would post you a link to amazon.com, but it looks like I am not allowed to do this right now with my few posts^^

I'm using one of these and for 30 Euro you will hardly get anything better. Don't expect any super performance though, it performs exactly as advertised: ~11MB/s write speed.

Why do you need such fast sd cards? How oftern do you plan on transfering large files in a hurry? Personally when I transfer something from my phone I just leave it charging while it does it. What's the hurry? You can still use your phone while it's doing it.

I would hazard a guess it's more about apps2sd and dalvik2sd. Whilst I personally think that on this phone apps2sd is something that isn't worth bothering with, if you are then you want the fastest card you can get to avoid lag.
I forget who said it but I saw recently the comment "you all moaned when you had no internal storage so we got 1GB now no one wants to use it".
I agree though Dave, when I'm doing SD backups to PC I use it as an excuse to grab yet another brew.

[Q] Recommended microSD class for Transformer

As per thread subject, does it have to be class 6? Or class 4 is enough without degrading its performance?
Will class 10 be even better (I'm not sure if the bottleneck in its architecture will waste the memory card data transfer capacity)?

Remember that class numbers are the minimum "writing" speed, so for reads (viewing contents) on a good Class 2 should be good, even for HD videos, however, copying files on it can be slow.
I has a SandDisk 16GB class 2 on the EVO and writing speeds are more like class 4, also a temporary SanDisk 8GB class 2 on the TF with good speeds.
I ordered a SanDisk 32GB class 4 for the TF. If I am correct, there is still no official information if the TF can enjoy class 10 speeds, but it should be.

I bought a 16gb class 10 from Fry's for $33.
I'm getting fantastic speeds from it.

The highest class in the size you want that you can afford.
That's my recommendation.

It really depends on how much space you would like to have in your device.
As far as speed is concerned, the results vary but more often than not, each class is going to be faster than its lower counterpart. If you don't want to spend too much on 32GB class 10 card then class 6 16GB is another balanced option!
On the other hand, this card was $108 just last week, but now its $94 bucks and with excellent reviews:

Hi Dotpro, I don't really get what you mean by "faster than its lower counterpart".
Do you mean by faster than its lower memory capacity counterpart?
I got this info from SDcard.org
Fragmentation and Speed
The memory of a card is divided into minimum memory units. The host writes data onto memory units where no data is already stored. As available memory becomes divided into smaller units through normal use, this leads to an increase in non-linear, or fragmented storage. The amount of fragmentation can reduce write speeds, so higher SD card speeds help compensate for fragmentation.
The SD Association has specified operating conditions for SDHC, SDXC, SDHC UHS and SDXC UHS memory cards to guarantee the minimum speed according to the card's speed class. Speed logos are provided to help identify cards that comply with these specifications.

No, I don't think memory capacity has anything to do with speed. What I mean is that class 6 would be faster than class 2 or 4, obviously but it varies from device to device. For example, stock microsd card in my HTC evo was a class-2 which I replaced with one of the cards I linked above and speed of saving pictures and videos improved drastically.
Same card in the transformer was showing speeds that of a class 6 or 10! Having said that, there is no way to save videos and pictures on microsd (external) storage on transformer (at least I don't know and even though it can show galleries found on the external card) so you may not experience that slowness issue.
So for me, the sweet spot is class-6 if you cannot afford class 10 card and even those are now coming down in prices.

Ah okay.
Yes, that I know.
Class 10 is fastest, but it also depends on the read/write of the device.
Although honestly speaking, I may not even be using up 10gb of the internal 16gb.
I don't really have that much movies, or songs that I listen on the go. I do have them on an external HDD though.

Can Transformer write at 10 MB/s?

Exactly, it depends on the read/write of the device. That's actually my question.
I tried to ask ASUS customer service, but seems she doesn't know the answer. Instead she advised me to carry the tablet & test it when I am buying the card!
The problem is:
1. My Transformer is still on pre-order.
2. I don't think the seller will allow me to open the seal to test the memory card before I commit to purchase it.
Basically I need the memory to watch HD movies while travelling. I agree with dark_aura: the class only tells the 'minimum writing speed'. It should be good enough to watch HD movie even with class 2. But with HD movie in average about 4-5 GB each, it will take more than half an hour just to copy a single movie into the card. >> Currently there are 50 over movies in my disk library line up in the queue. I simply have no time to watch them at home.
Perhaps my question should be:
Can anyone who has class 10 memory confirm if Transformer can write at the speed of 10 MB/s into it?
Thanks in advance.

Just ordered that one!
Got it from $91.99 shipped from buy.com (on eBay) and I used their 10% back eBay bucks thing.
(The IE9 promotion.)

Its a class 4 but good reviews for this 3C microSD 32GB card:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...17145&creative=399349&creativeASIN=B003UOKK9Y

I did some of the research and finally decided on a SanDisk 32gb card. Really didn't want to spend 100 bucks if I could help it. It costs like 85 from Amazon but I ended up getting this bundle from Digital Media Source - fulfilled from Amazon though for about $66 including an SD card adapter and a card reader.
It said that it would come in a retail package - it didn't - just a small envelope with the card and card reader. I did get a class 4 card in my particular shipment though. I was scared it might be counterfeit... apparently a lot of eBay and third party sellers have that issue. They will modify a 2gb or 4gb card to make it report as a 32gb but when you write more than 32gb it will fail.
I ran some tests on my computer (my Transformer is out for repair) - I am getting 5mb a second write and about 12mb a second reads - tested the entire 32gb twice and it seems to work well.
One thing I keep reading about is some of the cards with very fast write speeds (good for taking photos for example) might not have good random access speeds. Not sure if anyone else can comment on that. I decided to go with the SanDisk since they seem to get solid reviews and it was a pretty good value.

I just got my transformer and im looking for a good one without going over 100$. I can get some pretty good deals on some 16gb ones but i don't know what class they are what would you recommend as the lowest you can go

Has anyone with a transformer tested sdxc cards and does the transformer recognize it?

I really doubt it will work...
SDXC devices are backwards compatible, so they accept SD and SDHC memory cards. SDXC memory cards must only be used with SDXC devices and should never be used in non-compatible devices.

Okay I was asking because I knew there was some confusion in which people thought the tf was sdxc compatible, so I thought I would ask someone with a tf. My thought was that the tf was only sdhc compatible because that is what it said in the Asus website.
It would've been nice to have a sdxc compatible device though, the storage capabilities are massive.

Can you run apps stored on that card?

Issue with MicroSDHC
Hey just received my Transcend 16GB microSDHC class 6 card. I ripped a dvd with Handbrake and I noticed that theres lag and stuttering during playback with Mobo player. The video and audio are out of sync. At first I thought maybe it was the rip itself. I then move the 600MB MP4 file over to the internal drive of the TF. Played the file and its fine, no issues at all. I thought a class 6 card was good enough to play back a 600MB file?? Could it be the card itself?

It's got pretty good reviews.
