Good Quality MicroSD 16Gb - Class 6

Hey everyone,
I've been looking for a Class 6 16Gb microSD and I've just had one delivered from Amazon.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110605484160&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
£20.85 and it is closer to a Class 10 than a Class 6.
Just thought I'd share my find!
Sent from my DHD

cheers mate, gonna order one today. i have a 32gb class 6, but it has been giving me problems. DHD keeps unmounting sd card and then when sd card mounts again it says Read Only sd card. I think the sd card is faulty because other sd cards work fine.

I've had issues with cheap cards in the past, but this seems really good.
It's a totally unbranded card, but the card test window using H2testw on eBay is spot on. 9.85Mb/s write speed is very quick for a Class 6, almost a Class 10.

I ordered one around 10th November on their website along with PHILIPS headphones and I received only the headphones . Last Friday I contacted them just to check if they have sent the memory card and still waiting for an answer. This is the first time something I bought over the internet is not delivered. I guess they should've used some kind of tractable service for their international deliveries. It doesn't cost that much more and the customer is paying for the postage anyway...

I have been using a Samsung Plus, it's a shame they don't do it in a 16Gb version it's a really nice card, very fast and quite unique looking.

Can anyone post another link the product list has ended on the link provided

Does anyone have opinion regarding this card:

Wow, and I have thought that kingston is the best. Even if you shell money for kingston it appears it;s not problem proof.
Btw, is there real difference between stock model and 6th or higher class in playing movies or reading large documents?

Yes you do notice a different in files loading up from sd card not so on films and quicker in transfer of files from pc to phone.

I've got a strange 4gb card lying around in my house...no one knows where it came from lol. Anyways, in Windows, it writes at around 20mb/s average. Reading speeds are around 50mb/s...very strange. I don't use it because I now have a 16gb class 4...which writes around 4 mb/s....the 4gb says Class 4 on it but it's 5 times faster than that!

Copy all important data/pics/backups to a computer! Once SD memory goes, its gone for good mostly.
I'm way too paranoid about flash memory failure to spend more than 50ish on a microSD card.
Last time my 16GB SD card crapped out on me, and I lost lots of pictures and videos from a trip.
As far as 16GB class 10, it could be nice depending on the price....

Class is just the minimum the data transfer's are rated to run at, not the maximum that the actual card can run. So my Class 2 could run at Class 6 speeds, but not garaunteed to do so.
Thanks for the great link though, gonna grab one!

I honestly don't think a lot of these high class less quality SD cards are worth it. As mentioned earlier in this thread, the class is only minimum. It also doesn't take into consideration the longevity of the card. I bought the 32gb patriot (Class 10) from new egg and it totally when bad on me after 3 weeks. I lost some important info (backup up most). Was able to luckily return it just under the 4 week limit newegg has for returns. Not to mention the speed was really no different that I could notice compared to the stock SD card. I'm probably going to get the Sandisk soon since it's the only brand that I trust.

Im looking to get a new 32g sd card whats the best one to get. I've been using my 8g sd card for about 2 years now I never had problems just want a 32g.

I bought the 32gb that Verizon sells today for $99. It was regularly $149 but its on sell right now. Its still kind of pricey, but I really like it. Doesn't slow anything down, and now I can put more music and movies on my phone. You can get the same card on Ebay for around $65 right now. It's a SanDisk brand and Ive always had good luck with them.

I need a 32gb my 16 is full I keep having to delete old stuff and store it on my computer. I want to keep everything on my phone.

[Q] My phone hates SD cards. a LOT.

So this is the THIRD 16gb sd card my phone has munched... now, i'm using cheap class 4 SD cards from radio shack (shut up, it's radio shack.), and I'm HOPING that's the issue.
Can anyone confirm or shed some insight as to why this might be happening? Is it just my "thrifty" purchasing habits or is there something to legit be concerned about here?
thankfully, after the first one I saved my playlists... now, all the apps I moved to the external SD after rooting... that's another story. *groan*.

I'm using the following Class 10 SD Cards in two different phones and have not had any issues... I'm thinking you're getting what you pay for, go with higher quality.

I bought a semi-cheap, $44 32G PNY from Best Buy. It's a class 4 and works fine. A class 10 is kind of overkill for this kind of device. An honest salesperson will tell you this.

I record HD videos directly on the external device and having a class 10 card is beneficial. I've had problems with lower classes before where sometimes video recording would stop after a couple of seconds and an error would appear indicating HD recording on this card is not supported.

That's odd, the sandisk works just fine in mine.

As low as $62 on Amazon right now. I got mine for $53. You gotta watch for price breaks.

$53 is a darn good price. I got a SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC on a best buy daily deal for $49 about a month ago. Doesn't look like they even carry it now on their site, but Amazon has it for $82.

I bought one of the eBay 16.99 ones. We'll see what and if I get something.

Better check the the actual size of that card. On SD cards it is possible to fake the card so it reports a larger size than the card actually is.
You might look at this URL http://flashchiptech.wordpress.com/...ownload-to-check-flash-drives-and-memory-car/
Also it is best to format SD cards with a dedicated formatter. I like SDformatter
Also a good test program is H2testw See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730285

Are you letting it do the default ('exFAT") format in Windows/7? You don't want that, although it works with the Samsung ROM, it won't work with Cyanomod unless you format it as "FAT32" instead. You can use the command-line switches or there's a "FAT32 Gui" program somewhere around here - I can't seem to put my fingers on the link right now, but I found it within the past few days. If you can, use the phone to format it instead of a PC, that always insures FAT32. ("exFAT" isn't supported by CYM because of the funky licensing Microsoft has for exFAT)

Aside from card size, doesnt card speed play a factor in whether these 64gb cards will work? Isnt the appropriate question "what is the best deal on a 64gb class 10 SD card that actually works"?

SD card suggestions.. Please help.

At the moment I have a 32gb ultra SD card in my s4. The SD card is damaged for whatever reason. So I was wondering, what's the best type of SD card for me to get. I spent 20$ on my sdcard. So I'm willing to spend the same amount more or less.. Don't need anything more than 32gb or probably anything over 16. Of course the more the merrier.
Thanks in advance.

I got sandisk 16gb from amazon. Paid a good $22 for it. Around the same time, bought samsung 16gb micro sd while it was on sale for my tablet.
Three months into use, sandisk just stopped working. All the photos I took over the period of three months lost with it. Mind you, I'm not tech- illiterate, so I attempted different methods to recover my data with no luck.
Contacted sandisk, and received a new micro sd through warranty. A months into use, it failed again. Luckily, I had backed up my photos with dropbox, so no real losses except wasted time.
Didn't even bother to file warranty and tossed the sd out.
Been using samsung microsd for good six months with no problem.
This is my experience, and you may have (had) better luck than I.

SanDisk Ultra 64GB is perfect, Class 10. Working since 8 months!

I have SanDisk class 10 and my S4 is rebooting randomly. So if you can, go away from that card.

If you search the forums, you will find that MANY people report (and I experienced it too) that any card other than a Samsung can be problematic. I have a 32GB Class10 card from A-Data or Kingston or some other major name and it worked fine in my Atrix for a year or so. Got my S4 and put the card in it. Regularly and routinely, the phone would "lose" the card or claim it needed formatting because it was "damaged."
My Samsung card has had zero issues. You should be able to get a 32GB Sammy for about $20.

Out of 2100 reviews (posted up to Feb 2013) on Amazon, the SanDisk Ultra has a 4.5 star average (1500 of the reviews give it a full five stars). It’s the most popular and best-rated on Amazon.
A few complain doesn't make it everybody.

Here on XDA there are significantly less problems with Samsung SD's compared to Sandisk. Especially using the larger (64GB for example) sizes.
When using an SGS4 and in need of a large card simply use the Samsung one. And format it Fat32 when not in need of files >=4GB. Best combo of compatibility.
IMHO, of course

I am using the same SanDisk Ultra 64Gb same as you, though the first one that I bought gave me a lot of problems (Constantly ejecting, then eventually, the phone no longer recognizes it.) Then I bought another 64Gb and I never had any problems from there.
It seems that those having issues with Sandisk probably got theirs from a faulty batch that Sandisk even admitted.
