[Q] 32 gb card ? - Epic 4G Accessories

Considering getting a 32gb sdhc card for my epic4g. any problems noted? any advice?

You should be fine with about anything, but I have been burned a few times on spending less on SD memory. Buy a cheap 32 and you'll be lucky to get 20. IMHO. That or a Class 6 will really r/w at 2mb.

I recommend the Kingston one that just came out. It's a class 4 as opposed to SanDisk's class 2. I got mine for $87 on Newegg, but it seems they've upped the price to $109 now.

These only seem to be available online though or that is my experience.

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....

[Q] 32GB Micro SD Cards?

Does anyone use a 32GB micro SD in their device? I'm looking to get a class 10 32GB micro SD but I'm not sure what brand/manufacturer to go with or where I can get the best price. Basically, my main priority is to get a safe, reliable, and fast (class 10 preferably) 32GB micro SD. I've never been too educated in the SD memory market, so I was wondering if anyone could help me out. Thanks in advance!
Sandisk is always a good choice. As for class 10, I'm not sure why you need one that speedy. I have 32GB class 2 card and it is plenty fast enough for my g2x.

Oh really? Well that's good to know. (Like I said I'm not too knowledgeable about SD cards.) I'll look up SanDisk on Amazon, I figured they would be a good source. Thanks!
I also found this: http://www.amazon.com/Lexar-MicroSD...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1306885736&sr=1-1 (as far as class 10 ones go) and the reviews seem to be pretty good. Does anyone know if that manufacturer (Lexar) is reliable?
Here's a few good options. I personally have a 32gb wintec class 10, and that cards been a champ since day one. Class 4 cards are good enough especially since i believe android is limited to class 4 speeds

Thanks a lot! I think I'll go for the wintec class 10 based on your recommendation. That's an interesting observation about Android, but since I'm going to be using the SD card with different devices in the future, I figured I might as well go for the best.
I have a 32gb kingston class 4 and its been running pretty good.
i have two. A class 4 Sandisk and a class 10 Adata. The sandisk seems to work the best. I lost my data on the Adata 3 times and had to return one DOA. While the Adata did have really good speeds it just didnt seem reliable.
Iv never used a 32 but iv had an 8 and a 16 made by A~Data, and have no complaints
dont trust any brands u dont know meng.. there are tonnes of fake cards out there so the best thing to do is to buy from the stores the guys have listed up top.. but if u happen to buy from eBay: here are a list of things to look out for
1) the brand name is Kingston, Sandisk, AData or Lexar - those are known and trusted brands to work with.
2) the class of the disk is displayed on the microSD Card and the class relates to a price - if its a class 10 and its cheap - beware.. safest bet is to go with either a class 4 or a class 6
3) Insure that the Serial number is displayed on the microSD Card.. if you dont see a serial number then ask for one and check via google to insure that it is legit
that is how i got this wicked awesome 32GB Kingston card from eBay for 20 bucks.. i had a 32GB class 10 card from memorex but couldnt make a ext partition with it and thats how i discovered that it was fake
Dane-Elec and Transcend are fine and I am using them in GTab and X10.
I also have Sandisk and using it in G2x.
I have a 32g class 10 from Kingston. It works flawlessly, and you can see the speed improvement. Pick one up here.
Just picked up a ADATA 32gb fron newegg on sale for 49$ + free shipping (Class 4).

which SD card to get?

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).

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

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.

Anyone using A SanDisk64GB microSD Card In Their Fascinate?

Any experiences with the 64gb cards in Fasinate's?
Thanks

hi... so sandisk 64gb UHS-I microsd card works with fascinate on a custom rom... will be any speed difference with the original class 10 microsd cards (non UHS-I) or what do you think about SanDisk Extreme Pro microSD UHS-I 16gb? it's say that it can read up to 95 mbps... will our fascinate be able to use that speed? or it's just some marketing strategy because I read somewhere the sandisk itself claiming that UHS-I are equivalent with class 10...
Im about to upgrade my 8gb class 10 microsd card.... any suggestions...?

sorry for bumping a semi-old thread, but i'm using the 16GB class 2 Samsung card that came with the phone. or maybe the one that the guy who gave me it put in idk but it works and it's the biggest card i have. i have 2 8GB cards and a 2GB card too.

class 2 do not work well if at all in most all ICS, Jellybean Roms... you need to have at least a class 6, and with pricing these days class 10 8GB or 16GB can be had for cheap
I know you have posted about laggyness on nearly all the roms you tried,,, this is probably a main upgrade you should plan on if you want to get off of stock EH03 verizon goodness

Only because there is no class 12 or 14 etc. UHS-1 cards are considerably faster than the first class10 cards (at least at synchronous read), but the class system considers anything faster to still be class 10, because there is no faster class. Some Sandisk cards return status7 errors when flashing roms to our phones, but it seems to be hit&miss from one card to another.

yep.. 100% agree... prior to my posting sometime ago, i decided to try 32 sandisk UHS-1 card... it's faster than my class 10 transcend but seems only a very little bit... wouldn't waste my money for the extreme pro UHS-1...

Man, thanks for this comment. I cant seem to get any rom to flash without error on a PNY class 10 64gig. In have a SanDisk class10 64 and that SanDisk UHS-3 64 I can try, but what if I were to format the card with my phone I wonder....would it work then? Guess I'll try it.
