Not sure if this is cheap by everyone elses's standards but figured I'd give you all a heads up, just got myself one of these, backed up my 8Gb card and just doing a full wipe/reset now..

Personally I would have gone for a Kingston or SanDisk from Amazon
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-Cl...RFD2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1304539713&sr=8-3
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-16G...P06K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1304539713&sr=8-1
Both of which are a far superior brand (IMO) and cheaper.
:lol: ok, got this one from the local tesco about 30 mins before I posted this, thought someone might find it useful..
Tesco appear not to state a class Play have a class 10 for £2 less
There seems to be supply issues with that PNY one from play in that people aren't always getting a class 10 PNY and are getting unbranded ones instead

All the more reason to go for a better brand like SanDisk or Kingston! But thanks for the heads up.
You would think so but reading elsewhere people have had the Sandisk one from the HTC Assessory Store fail on them too LOL.

Yes, I was meaning in the sense of "it's a sign, ooohhh". Return whatever they send and get a different brand.
Re comment about sanDisk cards, I've had the best part of 20 SanDisk cards go through my phones, friends phones that I've sorted etc. and not a one has failed or even hic-cupped. The only reason I've got some Kingston cards is they were reported as having a better success rate for goldcards than any other (although again, where I have used a SanDisk for testing purposes or desperation they have worked but if for someone eles I still get Kingstons just for the sake of continuity).

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!

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...

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!
Just bought it via Newegg it will come in about week.

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.

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.

Class 6. Is Adata an okay brand? Ive personally never heard of em.

Yes a data is fine, I own MANY a-data microsd cards (4 4gb class 6, 4 8gb class 6 and 3 16gb class 6)
I am currently using a class 6 a-data card in my g2 and I've had it for a couple of years.
The other cards are in various devices and none have ever had any problems either. The other 16's are in Nintendo DS cards which work perfectly.
In january I bought a 32gb class 10 patriot card, with hopes to use it in my g2 but after 16gb of data is stored on it, it craps out and corrupts all data forcing a format. Turns out patriot is aware that those cards have issues on android and wp7 and are working on a solid fix (they have a workaround they are 90% sure works, but I haven't bothered to try it and I put the card in another NDS for now. Gave up on using my g2 for music).
I give A-data thumbs up, they are cheap and reliable.
adata is good yes, though I just grabbed a class 10 kingston 8gb for 19.99

Dude - did you file a complaint with paypal? did you use a credit card through paypal and call your bank to contest the charges? You have ways to not get ripped off through paypal.
Not understanding your rights will get you ripped off anywhere, online or not.
on topic - don't bother with the Class10 card. you wont see any significant gains in rw times. I have a class 6 card from Memorex that beats the speeds people are posting for class10 patriots and other top brands. Get a decent class6 from Newegg or Amazon.

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"?
