Play.com 16gb class 10 cards - Desire Accessories

Hi there guys,
For those that dont want to run the gauntlet of Ebay.
Here is a 16Gb class 10 PNY micr sd card for £18.
Not allowed to post links yet due to low post count but just search Micro sd on Play you will find it.
Enjoy

considering getting one of those myself, and retiring my class 6 8gb card. it's not big enough these days.

Sweet. Good find. Thank you!

Really class 10?

If you dont get class 10 speed results, then i suggest that you probally have a faulty card and send it back.

read the thread on that link, nobody is getting 10mb/s.
the card is unbranded, its labeled class 10, but test shows it is not.

I am getting 10mb/s write speeds and 23mb/s read speeds on that card.
Ill send anyone a pic of the speed test as i cant post it here as of yet.

Here is link to SDTools pic of speed test, SDTools used.

Not saying this is by all means perfect, and that it only just creaps in as a class 10, but lets face it £18 for a 16gb class 8 would still be a pretty damn good deal.

I've read the whole thread and basically you just have to be lucky with your card, it might not mess up in a few days/weeks/months time but theres a huge possibility it will, as some people reported it back in the hotukdeals thread

Got the same card. Mines branded pny even though it came in plain shrinkwrap.
Ran sdtools and get roughly 10mb write 18-20mb read. Not sure if I have a faulty one but its faster than my Samsung 8gb class 6.

It aint much faster m8 my Samsung 8gb class 6 gives upto 7.6 read and 17/19 write speed so I would be looking for more speed that your getting ?
I bought a joyflash and getting upto 15mb write

Anyone had any luck in returning these yet? What scores did the replacement one get?

Hmmm started to get storage type errors.

have already returned mine for a replacment, quoting a lot that has been said in this post and on Hotukdeals, awaiting a replacement.
Will let you know the outcome but if i dont get a branded one i will be returning again and buying a joyflash.
thanks to all that replied you convinced me to return it befor getting into trouble.

crap i already bought 1 aaaaaaaa

Mine arrived today, here's my speedtest using SD Tools - it's meant to be PNY but came unbranded

After getting a replacement and it also being a unbranded one i returned it for a full refund, and bought a Joyflash one instead.
Currently testing this card out as seems to be giving me rather low performance too and also was unbranded.

Are those speeds above slow though? Seems OK to me

Your speeds seem fantastic in all honesty, just keep an eye on the card for peculiar behavior like dropping info and apps not working properly, if using APSD+.

300$ for a Xoom

Price is cheap but im wondering if itll drop even lower when quad core tablets will arrive in the next few months. So do I take it or wait it?

if you've got $300 to risk? go for it... otherwise save for a bit longer & buy from a reputable place.
Craigslist is probably where you'll find a good deal.
Fishy fishy fishy.
There have been concerns about that name in the past.
Save up the extra hundred and fifty bucks and get one from a reputable dealer.
Will there be something better soon? Of course. But who cares. If you like the Xoom it wont matter.
Tablets are just like cell phones right now. Expect to have one for a year or two and then upgrade when you are happy.
Found a new one in box on Craigslist for $300 cash. Really tempting, even with the new ones coming out the specs look good on the Xoom and in 3-6 months I'm sure I could resell it easy for $350 to $275.
Sounds like a deal

Samsung 32GB Class 10 SDcard

So I just got my Samsung SDcard from newegg. I will admit the price was a little high ($70) but I didnt want to skimp on quality. I've read reviews on cheaper cards and they seemed to be slower than a class10 card.
Anyway formatted and installed its 29.7GB which is expected. I ran SD tools and am pretty happy with the results...

I personally only have my itunes library in my SD and the big transfer happens once...then i just let isyncr sync the 10 or so new song i put in weekly. So, is a class 10 to really worth it? Not for me, at that price, i'd put the 70$ more to get a 64gb SDXC

You have never noticed the system verifying the SD contents when you start up? It is alot faster with a class 10. Also if you play HD video or run games from the SD, you don't get the occasional lost frames and glitches like you do on Class 4. Sure you can live with it, but its not for me.

Exactly this. Reason being, you need faster write speeds to write more data, faster. (pretty obvious, lol) For typical uses like playing music or just looking through pictures, etc., a higher class card wouldn't entirely be necessary. Coming from DSLR's, I honestly refuse to have anything less than a class 10 for faster sequential shutter speeds and 1080p recording on it. Definitely always nice to have higher classes, especially since they're so CHEAP nowadays.

nop...actually the initial media scanner takes maybe 2 minutes, which i dont really care about because it's not like i need to use my music at that time. Also i do have many HD video and never notices any frame lag. Again, i have a 16gb class 10, and the difference is NOT worth 50$

64gb micro SD on MT4GS?

I was going to get a 64gb micro sd Class 6 but These devices support upto 32 gb
So could I just do 2 32gb partitions on the SD card and have the phone support both? would both partitions show up on the phone?
64 will work!!!!!

64 GB works great in the MT4GS. In fact, if you're getting the SanDisk Mobile Ultra card (are there alternatives yet?), that's my microSD of choice. Not only do you get the space, but it is the most practically responsive of the several brand / class combinations I've tried (good sequental and random access speed, I believe).
The one bit of bad news is that you'll need to reformat the card to FAT32, so the filesystem will be less space-efficient for small files, but that is a pretty small complaint.

Hi guys! Saw this thread and made me consider buying this instead. And don't tell that it's not necessary for me since I already had 2 32gb microsd full for my phone
But my question is would this item work?
http://www.ebay.ph/itm/110877877424
I know it's the same 64gb from sandisk but I am considering the 45mb and 30mb versions. I'm afraid the other one might not be compatible with our devices so I think it's best for me to try first before purchasing. To those who already had the 64gb sdxc which ones did you buy? the 30mb or the 45mb?
I also saw a 95mb version so tell me if anyone uses this also.

Not only will it work over the specified size, it will even work at speeds matching UHS specifications. An experiment was done in the HTC Vision forum, and found that a 64 GB UHS-I card worked at full capacity and full speed.

Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate it
The size is enough for me I don't think I will be needing it's speed since mostly I just use it as storage. Not keen into HD video recording and stuff.
Let down for me is android being not capable of supporting exfat partition which limits me with a 4gb max file size.

[Q] Opinion re: practicality of app space for heavy app use

I am looking at both the HOX and the Skyrocket (aka Samsung S II LTE on Rogers). From what I've read, despite having similar specs, the HOX is superior. The obvious limitation is the lack of expandability. While for *most* users this wouldn't be much of an issue (use that Dropbox space!), I have my phones loaded with tons of medical references. Right now, I have ~7 GB of apps on my old HTC Sensation 4G. So, I'd like an opinion as to whether you think the HOX is a practical choice. I'd rather take a hit on performance than sacrifice apps!
Edit: When I say ~7 GB of apps, I do mean the apk + its data, not just apks only. Also, I'm definitely rooting whatever phone I get. I'm using AOKP on my Sensation right now and will probably do the same with the new one.
I have the skyrocket and the hoxl my skyrocket is half the phone the hoxl is if u need storage can't u get a 32gb version of hoxl?
My skyrocket has screen blobs on it and the sticky power button issue so ya two hardware problems on one phone bad deal get the hoxl and don't look back.

Rogers doesn't carry the 32 GB version, and I can't afford to buy one elsewhere.
This doesn't answer my question, though. As I said, I'd rather suffer some small annoyances than be unable to keep my vital references!
It's all up to you man... If the space is really that much of a bother get the skyrocket end of story
I have about 5gig of app w/data, but I don't store music and photos. I use Pandora and transfer photos to pc regularly. Have about 8 gigs extra space after my backup of Rom and downloads.

only you know what you can/can't live without. if your medical stuff requires more space than the phone has and you can't afford the 32gb version, then your decision has been made for you. I came to the HOX from Sensation and have managed just fine, but we all have different needs I guess.....
One thing about that picture I posted, I'm pretty sure 4 gbytes is taken up by "other" in the apps partition... Its reserved so you can't use it.

Memory issues

Has anyone experienced memory shortage issues on either the 16Gb model or the 32Gb model.
If so why ?
I really am interested in buying this device but I am a bit worried about not having the the slot for the external SD card.
I have only found one person that had memory shortage problems but it was only due to an enormous number (in Gbs) of songs.
I am a bit worried about the ever increasing number of Gbs that are used up by the OS, and how this will effect the available data memory over a long period of time.
Thanks for any info.

I have the 32GB one, and I still have 18.28GB free (I haven't transferred my nandroid backups yet ~5.5GB). I have all the apps I need, and no music or movies. (Spotify, and Amazon for those needs).
The weight of pure Kit-Kat is quite small, so a lot of the space is available to use versus the S4.
Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. My worries stem also from the recent S5 which sport a whooping 8Gb of OS !!! So a 16Gb device would not be worth buying without a slot. The OS footprint in the Nexus is in fact small by comparison.
Thanks again.

That is understandable, I was just reading an article about the S5 also. It's crazy that they don't move 80% of those apps to the Play Store and shrink the ROM by 3+ GB... Anyways, you're welcome! Glad I could help

So substantially you're not particularly worried about having memory shortage issue ?
In hindsight would you have bought the 32Gb version?

Totally depends on the user's needs I must say. If you use your phone for entertainment purposes and play a lot of games, then the 32 GB will be your best bet.
I like keeping family, friends pics on my phone (However, I do keep a backup on my laptop), so the 16gb isn't sufficient for me. Besides that, the difference in price between the 16 and 32 gig models isn't that much.

Has anyone experienced memory shortage issues on either the 16Gb model or the 32Gb model.
If so why ?...

I bought the 16GB version but also bought a Meenova OTG micoSDcard reader. It's so compact that I easily carry 32GB of extra storage around with me available for my Nexus 5 at a moments notice. Assuming you own a micoSDcard the Meenova reader only cost around $13 with shipping varying per country. I'm in Canada so the whole expenditure was $17. The Meenova can handle up to a 64GB card.

That looks toooo goood!!!
Thanks. This helps a great deal. I agree with the difference not being much, so it would make more sense to get the 32Gb version.
It' s pretty cool that there doesn't seem to much of an issue with not having an extra memory slot.

Thanks.
I've heard about the Meenova and it seems to be quite the "problem" (I beginning to think there isn't one) solver. Thanks for sharing. I think I'll be getting one once I order the Nexus.

Yes, it sure is!
I also came across this mini card reader, it costs just $12!! Memory card support is upto 64 gig.

I'm thinking of buying it as it will be really helpful to load stuff when we are on the go...
How it will look on n5:

Of course with App data If you like games, you're going to need root to move that data to external storage
It really does look good !

OTG storage can be a hit to the battery as well. If you have the option, get the 32Gb version. $50 for fast Nand built in is worth it.

Thanks for the advice ! The 32Gb really does make sense.
