I ordered a 32GB SanDisk MicroSD card for my Desire HD from a cheap ebay seller. He seemed to have ok feedback and the picture showed the Micro SD card in the standard red SanDisk retail packaging. I paid around 20-22 bucks. I later got a message from ebay saying they had removed the listing due to the owners copyright infringement / fraud and sayed if I had paid they highly recommended I seek a refund. I am still waiting on my case with paypal dispute. Hopefully all will come good there. Just the other day I received the card from China or Hong Kong. It's obviously got different print to "real" SanDisk MicroSD cards I've bought and it came without the retail red packaging. The card didn't work at all in the SD card adapter when put into my laptop running Windows 7. My Cannon SD870 IS Digital Elph camera did recognise the card. I low level formatted the card on the camera and still the SD card adapter on the laptop didn't want to use the card. A USB adaptor worked enough to format the card. I did a full lengthy format. Copying 30GB or so of .mp3s to the card resulted in only most mp3s not playing.

i have opened 5 BNIB (sealed) HTC Desire HD.. but all of them had different brand and class of memmory card
1 come from Sandisk 8gb class 2
1 come from Sandisk 8gb class 4
1 come from Samsung 8gb class 2
1 come from Samsung 8gb class 4
1 come from Kingstone 8gb class 4
There are some things that people just shouldn't buy on ebay.
-Flash Memory
-Headphones
-Bluetooth Headsets
-Mobile phone batteries
In general all of the above will be fake. I have ordered at least one of all of those things on ebay and not a single one has been genuine.
Yeah i got a 32gb sd card from ebay, fake
Got my money back via paypal protection, didnt have to bother returning the item either since they kicked the guy from ebay.
i think the cards around 4gb was copying at like 800 kbs not really worth me finding out how to sort it out so that it shows up as a 4gb.
Any recommendations on cards/cheap place to get them. 16gb class 4 is £15.99 at mymemory but their out of stock at the moment also you can get 10% cashback via quidco.

Try to copy stuff to them and monitor the transfer rate, then compare with:
Class 2, 2 MB/s.
Class 4, 4 MB/s.
Class 6, 6 MB/s.
Class 10, 10 MB/s.
These are minimum sustained write speeds.

I ordered my Sandisk 32gb c2 from a normal webshop since I don't trust those ebay super-fantastic-discount deals. Write speeds are always above 5MB/s so I am pretty chuffed with it.

Bought this exact card from your recomendation, thanks for that.
Thing is the write speed is around 2.5 Mb/s and towards the end of a file it drops down to 700Kbs half the time.
It's not the biggest deal in the world, but their are times when i need to drop a quick tv show or film on my dhd and it just takes its sweet time :S
Could it be a faulty card? should i speak to Dane-Elec. Didnt format the card when i got it, should i do that now? its fat 32 if that helps.
Hello,
I want to buy sandisk 32gb from ebay. And there's no sd card images with code and "made in china" on it, on ebay. Then i checked sandisk website, sd card images are without codes and "made in china". So Im a little bit confused now.
What do you think about this one ?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/San-Disk-...AsAccessories_MemoryCards&hash=item4ab3348993
most hardware is made in china these days
my complete pc says "made in china" and i bought it all from local stores...not even off the internet
Thanks for answer, but i was talking about image that has beed posted in first page .:
In ebay all sd cards images are without those codes and there's not written "made in chine" as it should be in genuine card. But in sandisk website those card photos are without codes and without "made in china"
Is this one reliable and genuine ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/San-Disk-...AsAccessories_MemoryCards&hash=item4ab3348993
What do you think about this one? I think i should buy this one.

This means we can't use this SDXC card?
http://www.digitalcamerareview.com/default.asp?newsID=4363
http://hothardware.com/News/Transcend-Introduces-64GB-Class-10-SDXC-Memory-Card/
is limit made by Samsung?
SDXC is a new SD technology, so it isn't supported by most products atm.
Brief History of SD cards.
We went from SD (max 2GB) to SDHC (max 32GB which is what GS supports) to SDXC (Don't know the max).
Also, those cards are normal sized, not microSD (GS only takes MicroSD). I don't know if microSDXC cards exist yet (probably I guess).
Also, I don't know whether it's possible to support SDXC through firmware updates, or if it requires a hardware upgrade (to the microSD slot).
Hope that helps bud.
but i just wonder can Samsung Galaxy S support 64 gb SDXC?
Most smartphones don't use SD Cards, but rather use MicroSD cards so to answer your question no.
No ---->

Currently the max size for a MicroSD card is 32GBs at a class 2 speed. You can get 16GB MicroSD cards in class 2, 4, or 6 speeds.

You are talking of the Kingston card.
Even though it is a class 10 don't take it for granted that it will be faster than a class 6.
Not all cards conform to their class ratings.
As an example ~ I was going to purchase a 16GB class 6 (I have the same card in my HD2), however, I found that the Sandisk Ultra II 16GB which is a class 4 was actually much , much faster.
I purchased the Ultra II and am happy to say it does indeed perform much better than the class 6 which I temporary removed from the HD2 to test.
Tests were carried out on both PC file transfer Read/Write using a USB card reader and in the Galaxy S for record/playback of video content.
I was pretty certain that sandisk's 32gb class 2 microsd card was the only 32gb microsd card available, but i found this

There are 64MB microSD cards hitting the market about now. Not sure if SGS will be able to use them.

not yet, the highest is 32GB microSDHC
after that barrier they becomes 64GB microSDXC
there are already standard 64GB SDXC cards, that means the micro version is just around the corner.
usually it's a 6 month lapse from the moment the normal size SD comes out, to when the micro version gets released
now all that aside, i've a 32MB microSD, but never seen one for 64MB

Nah, they don't make them that small.
saw a post once cant remember where, but it had a sandisk 2TB yes that is correct 2TB micro sd, im pretty sure its not available, but i gave me hope that one day i mite be able to fit the entire contents of my laptop drive (500GB) and my external (1.5TB) drives on something smaller than my thumbnail.
of course it will be available, in the next 10 years
technology advances are steady.
most of the time the tech is already availble, just not for the public, as they have to develop cheap way to MASS produce those things.
Bought this for my SGS.....class 4 has arrived from Kingston.I will post some stats when i test it.

From what I can tell, everything works. How genuine (actual SanDisk, it is written on the card) it is, I dunno. I will be testing it some more to be 100% sure.
Update:
chkdsk reports a few bad sectors (512KB in total). It could be that this was so cheap due to not passing Q/A tests. Doing a slow scan now.
chkdsk output:
Code:
Windows has checked the file system and found no problems.
31,934,464 KB total disk space.
32 KB in 1 files.
512 KB in bad sectors.
31,933,888 KB are available.
32,768 bytes in each allocation unit.
997,952 total allocation units on disk.
997,934 allocation units available on disk.
OK, the 32GB is a probably a factory reject, and not very reliable. Going to the bin.
Yeah would have been amazing if it was real and working for that price, my 32gb integral class 4 cost me 56 quid so I guess well over 100 dollars, but I am very happy with it.
Hope ya find something a bit more reliable.

Hi everyone, i´ve bought from ebay 16gb class6 SDHC card and after testing it here are the result, is this true and should i look for refund or what? Thare should be at least write 6 is this corrcect?
EDIT: i found what is the problem. First test was in card reader connected on usb cabel 1 m long and after i˙ve putted the card in micro sd card reader connected directly in to pc the result is much better 3rd pic.
Some USB cables struggle with data for some unknown reason.
Try see what the transfer rather is to the DHD from the PC.
Mine is about 13-14MB/sec for big files. So there is extra overhead compared to just the microusb reader.

I had read somewhere that there were some 32 GB cards on ebay that were fake, sorry I can't recall the link. Looking at the photo enlarged of the card, the pixels from the "32" look much more clear than the "GB". But that's just my opinion.
...and there is no class rating on the card so if it were for real it'd probably be just a Class 2. Still, for only $17.00 including shipping I'm inclined to get one and run it through some tests just to satisfy my curiosity.
The seller has decent feedback, but it's mostly for jewelry and the like. If I had to guess I would say that they are probably rejects that corrupt data or are really fragile or something that someone pulled out of the garbage at the factory and took home.
Still...

Beware of new 32Gb sd cards!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most SD Cards on Ebay with a capacity of 32Gb that cost under USD $60 is almost surely fake. The biggest problem is that the card looks like the capacity is 32Gb and works properly until more than 2, 4 or 8GB are used.
This cards are programmed to look like their capacity is of 32GB, however after the user passes the 2,4 or 8GB that the card really is the data starts to become corrupt, as data is overwritten.
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF:
Firstly, check the verification numbers that the sd cards have, such as Very flash from kingston. If the card does not pass the test it is surely fake. In this case ask the seller for a refund ASAP.
Sometimes the only way to verify if the card is real is using a specific software. The software is called H2TESTW and it writes data on the card and verify if the data is not overwritten as the card fills up. Another important thing to notice is the writing speed that can also be fake, as some class 2 cards are sold as class 10.
Summing up, when buying a 32Gb sd card cheap almost always means fake. Try to look the price that well established sellers are selling, and try to understand the minimum price. If good sellers sell it for $100 and some new sellers sold hundreds of cards for $25, be sure that hundreds of people been scammed with fake capacity cards.
Even good suppliers can sometimes receive fake cards mixed with good cards, especially if their distributors are located in Shenzhen, the center of electronics in China, that also happens to be the center of fake electronics.
Good luck and remember to always use paypal when buying the sd cards for increased safety in case they turn out to be fake. Happy shopping!
I just got burned on a 32GB card on ebay, after a couple 100 MB the format would get corrupted. I placed an order with newegg for Class 10 Patroit mcro SDHC card for $99. I disputed the payment with paypal today and sent an email to the seller that he had 24 hour to refund my money before I would give him negative feedback. Beware in buying anything from prasath200 on ebay
The auction I linked to has ended...i think before it was supposed to end. Maybe they made them take it down...
Anyway, that Patriot card looks like a good investment. I watch a lot of video on my phone...how much smoother would file loading and playback be if I went from the stock 16GB class 2 card to that 32GB Patriot class 10?

I've been running the Patriot 32gb Class 10 micro sd card for the past 2 or 3 weeks, and i'm loving it... Yeah $100 for a card is alot, but if you need the space it is well worth it for the space, and speed... blazing fast night and day difference between even a class 6. Newegg usually sells out QUICK, even within an hour of showing in stock on their site. Best bang for your buck in a 32gb class 10 micro sd I've seen..
Out of curiosity - What do you use the space for?
I use my phone as an mp3 player too. So I have alot of music on it, back ups, and roms take up a lot of space also. No such thing as too much space.

LOL I am going to stick with my 16 GB considering I didn't even cap the 2 GB that came with my hero
Speaking of HTC (in the Mesmerize forum, I know)... my friend missed out on the free Mesmerize deal that I got so he ended up with an HTC Desire. That model hadn't been on the market THAT much longer than the Mesmerize, but it only came with a 2GB card. Granted, I had a 2GB card in my Motorola Rokr and it held a surprising amount of music... but it wasn't a smart phone and a 2GB card seems pretty skimpy... especially since the onboard RAM in the Desire in much less than the Mez in the first place.
I think we should sticky this thread.

So i recently bought this microSD card:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...NaB1JX0%3D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I was really excited that 32GB cards had gotten this cheap and for a class 10 one I was ecstatic!
Turns out it was a dupe and the drive is not only slow as a turtle, it doesn't really hold anything. (put 10GB of stuff on it and after the transfer was complete I went to the phone and only ~5GB of stuff was on there)
Also the adapter that came with it doesn't even work with it, it only responded to my phone (whereas my trusty 16GB from Dane Elec worked fine in the adapter).
Here's the comparison of my badass Class 2 16GB and the ****ty "Class 10 32GB"

Basically avoid any microSD sales from a user named: soundguyzbb
and I'd say it's safe to say that any microSD from the manufacturer titled "memorette" is bogus as well. I will attempt some of the other 32GB cards in this price range to see if there are any real ones.
This one will be going back for a refund tomorrow morning, I'll update if I find anything good or bad with my further market study
Excellent. Just plain excellent.
You. Just saved me $30
Bravo.

Idk but I just won a Class 2 ADATA 32GB card, I know they are a good company (I run an 8GB Class 6 SDHC in my camera from them and it's great) and am crossing my fingers I'll get another surprisingly fast card like the DaneElec 16GB.
Only cost me $40.03 with an auction, I saw some other brand name ones for $44, maybe slightly less. I'll be sure to make a review of the ADATA when I receive it. Ebay says it will be here between the 14th or 15th

ahh. isee. the price is pretty crazy on those. prolly why i had never seen them.
warning to peeps interested. it seems the patriot brand has some iffy reviews.
82$ for 32gig card is crazy!
Ebay put out an article to watch out for fake sd cards. Too bad you missed it.
I went with the 32gig class 10 lexar on amazon. Works great, amazingly fast transfer speeds!

Have you run SD Tools with that? I'd be interested in the results.

word.

A 32gb alone would be expensive. But at a class 10 also? sounds like an extra 40$
Thanks for the post. Saved me from buying :3

i'm not complaining at that price, considering i have about 4 of the 16gb cards that the phone ships with
I had the same issue. Got one from ebay, real junk. Gonna wait till Best Buy has them on the shelf a couple months before I dive in again. Right now they still don't stock them. They keep saying "coming soon"
I paid $99 for my 32GB class 2 SanDisk microSDHC from Verizon when they first became available about a year ago. It's easily as fast as my 8GB class 6 ADATA which I bought from Newegg. I did some benches on it when I first got it and was really impressed. I'm sure I posted them here...
Anyway, I never buy memory cards on ebay. It's too easy for people to fake capacity and lie about speeds. Plus a high quality card with a low class rating in my experience is much better/faster than a low quality card with a high class rating.
Going to start using the Inspire as my main music player (thanks to Ubermusic, which is simply too good to resist).. looking for recommendations on a 16/32gb microSD.
Also, question: how come Sandisk only has class 4 microSD's? I'm all for getting myself one of these as the reviews are great.. but there might be something faster out there that's close in terms of reliability?
I have encountered zero issues with my PNY 32 gb class 10 card. New Egg has them pretty cheap when they are in stock.

I've always bought sandisk over the past couple years for my cameras and they been great, very reliable an fast. Right now I have a 32gb class 6 in my Inspire for the past couple months and it's been great for music and movies
I've had good luck with the Patriot 16gb class 10 I bought at newegg.

Where did you find a 32gb class 6 Sandisk microSD? I think you meant class 2..
I ordered a 16gb Sandisk Class 4 MicroSD from Newegg. It's only $20 after promo code EMCKBJJ33, free shipping.

That's a great price I paid 25 off ebay for a 16gb....
yeah thats my mistake it's actually a sandisk 32gb micro sdhc flash memory card writing at 6 mbs and reading at 12.5 mbs around what the min of a class 6 would be doing
SD Tools app(no speed boost)
I gave the SD Tools app a shot after seeing your post and it's a cool app! Here's what I got with my aforementioned PNY class 10 32GB card. $60 from newegg.
I've been using a Class 10 32GB Lexar in my HTC Inspire 4G for a few months now, and it works great.

I paid 20 for a Patriot Class 4 16GB. Worked great. Was pretty fast and large enough for me. But I like to be the guy with all the overkill stuff. So I'm getting a 32GB next.
I just ordered the PNY 32gb class 10. Upgrading from a 16gb class 4 that my wife fried when she took a picture and somehow turned the phone off at the exact same time... Tried everything to get it back to life - but maybe it was divine intervention.
I have a Patriot 16gb class 10 card from Newegg, results have been mixed. Speeds are awesome, but reliability has been an issue. Twice I have had the card become corrupt and had to fix with Chkdsk in Windows, and I have had several individual apps become corrupt and require a reinstall. Not major issues, just minor annoyances for me.

PNY class 10 32gb microSD. No problems at all. Plenty of speed for me.

PNY 32GB microSDHC card
Ditto on the PNY 32gb microSD card. Works flawlessly on my Inspire. Seems a lot speedier than the 16gb one that came with the phone. Be ready to shed 2gb from formatting though, since it will only have a total capacity of 29.9gb on the card before tossing anything in it.
Get it from newegg. It was relatively inexpensive for it being a class 10 card, and shipping was fast.

Yes, this is the way memory works, you always get less than the advertised capacity. Bits vs bytes.
Also, you may notice different sizes with different allocation sizes...

You're right about the allocation sizes.
I used 32kilobytes for my allocation size when I formatted the card. Using anything below that caused my previous card to have a somewhat jittery experience on my phone when watching downloaded movies. Then again this new card is a class 10 as opposed to the class 2 16gb microsd card that came included with the phone.
I don't mind losing the 2gb since I have more than adequate space for my music and media on the go for the price paid. =D

Thanks for the link. Seems to be a more straight-forward tester with less eyecandy. Accurate results for testing whether some peeps buying cheap rebranded cards from places like eBay got good deals or duds.
truly there are sandisk class 6
Based on past reviews in the Inspire/DesireHD threads: Sandisk and PNY are pretty safe. Patriot is hit&miss with quality control. Transcend has been downright problematic (surprising, I use to like that brand). Lower "Class" cards tend to be more reliable, but slower (obviously). It seems to be due that the higher-class cards may have higher power requirements while writing, but I can't find any way to confirm that (rumor, really).
I got a Sandisk Class-4 16GB card for my Inspire. It's been rock-solid. Now that 32GB cards are common, the 16GB cards are dirt cheap these days.
