[Q] Micro SD card 32gb class6 - General Questions and Answers

Hi
Know there is a 1000 topics on this already, but couldn't find any answer in any of them for my question.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get a 32GB class6 or higher microSD card?
I can't find a single one on google, ebay, amazon, bestbuy or pricewatch...
I can see that Kingston makes them on there homepage, but I can't find anywhere to buy them :S
Found this one, put it seems that it is only class4, which I can tell from the picture, even though the text says otherwise

I need class6 at least for 1080p video recording, so no need to suggets lower class
thansk in advance

I don't know whether the answer is not too late

They are indeed available. I just bought one on BUY dot com (but cannot post link). It is a 3C brand, class 6 (3C is made by TopRam, and I've done well with them in the past)
BTW, word of advice: whenever you buy a new SD/microSD/USB/etc and as soon as you receive it ALWAYS run a Write-test using h2TestW tool. This way you can tell right away if the card is
a) defective
b) meeting or exceeding the rated speed
c) a "faked-capacity" counterfeit :-o
Any of the above, you get your money back!

Lexar has class 10, Kingston has class 6 versions of 32gb microsd

i have a better question... what can you do with 32gb that you cant do with 16?
also, if you are looking for a class 10... i have a class 10 PNY in my evo 3d. but it is a 16. ridiculously smooth and fast. the transfer rate is well over what a class 10 should be.
i bought it at best buy for 60 bucks. don't know where you are located, but where i am there is a Fry's electronics close to me, and when i was shopping around they had a few class 10 32 gigs... wasn't familiar with the brand, though, so i chose a smaller one that i knew would work flawlessly.
hope that helped

why direct buy the class 10 ?

32GB, I feel a little big
32GB, I feel a little big

From for smooth read/write,
8gb class 4
16gb class 6
32gb class 10
There are many now class 4,6,10.
Try google search with some keyword sell
from what i read on other threads.

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..

micro sd memory card class

i know that there are different classes of cards: 2, 4, or 6 but what are the main idifferences and will it effect my phone in anyway if i get a 2 compaired to 6?
Heard that Class 4 is the optimum for the Nexus one...anything more than class 4 it wont make a lotta difference.
I can tell you I have an 8g Sandisk Class2 and an 8g Transcend Class6. The Sandisk blew it away in speed comparisons. Not all SDs are equal. I wouldn't have believed it but I tested it myself. Yo have to have root and adb but there is a speedtest on Cyanogen's forums. I tested each 3 times and averaged. The Sandisk was faster by a considerable amount. I also think the Class4 would be optimal and would spend a bit extra on the Sandisk.
I just got a 16gb Patriot Class 2 to replace the 4gb Class 2 stock sd card. My response the first time I opened Gallery "OMFG HOLY CRAP". Instead of the typical 3-5 second load I am at about .5-1 second. Write speed is amazing. This card is just fan-damn-tastic.
I can say I tried a Class 6 16gb off-brand prior to this (my dog ate it) and it had none of the characteristics of this current card.
So for my money, before you consider Class, consider Brand / Quality. The better quality cards will always outperform the lesser cards. If you are worried about the Class (transfer/write speed) then get a good brand and higher class...but for me, the Class 2 Patriot is amazeballs.

hhmm, never heard of Patriot.
I've used SanDisk and Transcend before.
My current one is the stock one that came with the phone.
However, with your "OMFG HOLY CRAP" emotional outburst I'm thinking of researching that brand
I really want a 32 gb microsd card for the n1. Yeah I know its kinda overkill but it would be my card for life really. I just wish there would be a day when I could walk into a best buy and pick one up.
i used patriot ram in my computers, good brand, didnt know they made sd cards, i think ill grab one, right now i have 4gb scandisk class6 seems fast and smooth
I have this one coming...

I have no idea if there will be anything worth forking out over for a class 10 card but since my wife has been belly-aching for speedier storage in her video camera I figure I got nothing to lose. Doesn't wow me in the phone it can find a home in her camera. Somebodies got to take one for the team....

They will come. In fact, a webshop here home has put it up for pre-sale allready and has a unconfirmed arrival date June 1st.
price will be here $180 dollars +/-. But will be way cheaper in the states.

The thing that bothers me about Sandisk (besides the price) is even on their own website they don't list what speed class the cards are. On Amazon I can only find class 2 cards. What's up with that? Maybe class 2 would be enough but I'd be more comfortable with class 4 or 6. Do they even make them in that speed?

I want one too, but not at their current going rate of $200.
I'll probably end up picking up a 16gb one soon since the 32gb ones aren't in any hurry to get cheaper.

On amazons search I typed in 16 GB class 6 micro SD and it pulled some up along with a passel of other sd cards.
The class # classification has merit behind it. But unfortunately cheap manafacturers are abusing the system.
I bought a sandisk 16gb class 2 card not too many weeks after it appeared on the market as the first 16gb card. Never have i wanted for more speed. Songs load up instantly in the music player and the gallery has no lag at all. Don't fall victim to high class # claims. Just go with a manufacturer that you know and trust. For me that's sandisk.
im already sending back my first class 10 card.bought it from newegg but had to get kingston to replace.had problem with corrupt data and making my nexus go loopy.kingston replaced it without any hassles.

hey guys i stay in dubai and i have searched the computer vendors and they only have sandisk class 2 cards and nokia's class 4 cards so if i buy nokia's class 4 mu 44 will it function properly if i want to install app2sd?
Not sure why i cant find it on the bestbuy website but i know its still there at the store bc i seen them there again just a few days ago, i bought mine a few months ago but anyways i found a PNY 4 gig class 6 HC-->high capacity i think, its in the camera section and sells in the black and red pack, not the black and gold one they also have. I bought mine regular price $22.99 which isnt too bad for not buying it on the web. It made my G1 songs and pics load blazing fast and ive since replaced my stock nexus card and have noticed a night and day difference on certain things pertaining to sd. just thought id share what i thought was a good deal. Later, veritas
also wanted to add that ive prolly reformated with parted literally between 100-175 times and really no slower rates on anything and barely a smidge shaved off the top

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).

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....

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 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

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.

[Q] Micro SD suggestions?

Not sure if this is the right forum, but looked like accessories was the best bet.
Im looking at 32G cards, but open to 16 as well. Just switched to Android, so would be good to know others experiences, and whether there is something I cannot do with a Class 4, for example or whether you see any lags with other cards you have used etc, or if a specific class is needed for using some specific feature?. I did do a search, and didnt find anything, maybe I missed it. Might be useful to have a thread regarding people's experiences..
Any suggestions/recommendations for what I should be looking at?
I have read that the Partiot/Adata/Wintec cards are not too reliable, though their prices for a class 10 are much lower..But I dont want to go through the hassle of returning/copying data, so I am thinking Class 4 is enough.
Here is one option, Sandisk 32g, doesnt say class 4, but some reviewers mention it is actually class 4. At the same time, some mention they got Class 2. Cannot post a link since I don't have 8 posts yet
Search for SDSDQ-032G-A11M, US Retail Package on Amazon, maybe someone else can add the link! Its for ~62, shipped from Amazon.
Thanks for your help!
This is what I bought.

The nice 32gb ones were to expensive for me. This is a good price for it. i have been using for about a month and half. No issues at all.
Thanks cableguychad!
Anyone else have suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
I'm rocking the Patriot LX series 16gb as well. Class 10 and with transfers(usually 3-5 gigs) I'm hovering around 8-9mb/s.
EDIT: If you live by a Frys Electronics, I picked mine up there for $32.
I have the Patriot 8 GB Class 10 from FRYS. I'm getting speeds of ~11 Mbps.
I think it would be better to go with a 16 GB class 10 (~30 for Patriot class 10), than a 32 GB that's close to three times the cost of a 16 GB.
I just got this one, so far it seems to perform well enough. It's only a class 6 and it was writing at about 8-9 megs. Not too bad IMO.

You can't go wrong with this one. Great deal.
Many of my buddies have had 32GB MicroSD cards and a lot have malfunctioned. Never really had issues with 2-16GB MicroSD
Dont get HP brand, I had a hell of a time making a gold card because it kept getting corrupted. Format took forever to do as well.
Thanks for all your suggestions!
I took the 16g card out of my Epic and it works great its a class 2 I formatted it 1st and no problems. So it seems Samsung cards are good.
i bought a Wintech 16GB class 10 off newegg for $28. Out of curiosity, will the format SD card function in clockwork recovery work to just format it so I can use it? Or should I do a full format on a pc, why do you need to format before use? Why cant you just pop it in and go? Does HTC format the sd card before they ship all these phones to the carriers/customers? Just curious, thanks for input.
I've recently been having a great experience using Kingston 8 gig class 4 cards to record hd video.
To check the card speeds on pc I use CrystalDiskMark 3.
There is also an android app called SDTools that will show card information.
I also use SD Formatter 3 from sdcard.org to format my cards.
Another tool to find out if your cards are what they claim to be is H2testw. It checks capacities, corruption and read/write speeds.
Just an update, got the card in the mail, so far so good, dont know any way to test the speeds but i tryed two apps, one said it maxed out at 20mbs and the other 14mbs, so i dunno how acurate thise numbers are but all seems well!

Just pop it into computer, and format it as FAT 32, and use it. Generally all cards are pre-formatted when manufacturer sends u out. But I reformat it before first use to make sure its in the FS as per my preferences .
I bought a cheap 16gb card on ebay
I'm sure it's a counterfeit Sandisk. I've had it at least a year. I only paid twenty bucks for it back when 16gb cards were 50 bucks. It's only class 2. I used it for a long time with my Tilt 2 without any problems, even though I store 10gb of music on it. Now I'm using it in my Inspire. I tested it using the SD tools app. The write speed is 11.6 and the read speed is 20.4. Sometimes those numbers fluctuate slightly, but that's what it tested just now. It does fine with HD video. About once a week I was getting a disk error on my phone in which the card was becoming unmounted, particularly when I would use google navigation. I used SDFormatter 3, the one mentioned in the post above, and I turned on "format size adjustment", and the error hasn't happened in a while. I appeciate the poster who mentioned the software. It seems to work better than the native Windows 7 formatter on my pc.
Here's a link to a 32gb class 4 for sell right now on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/32-GB-Micro-SD-...906?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2564d3c83a
Cards with the exact same generic blue and white packaging are abundant on ebay today from 17 to 30 bucks. Most are receiving good reviews. I may take a gamble. You never know.
Update: Ha ha. I asked the above seller if the card had been tested for capacity and speed. The reply was "Card no is fake. It real." lol
