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.
Glad to be of help, I love helping find the best deals possible while ruining bad business practices

Doing some digging around I found Memorette looks to be a good company but if you notice their highest capacity on their own website is 8GB
The ebay ones all look generic and certainly different then the real deal, scammers gonna scam!

i dont even think there is a real class (10) 32gig micro card in existence.
can anyone confirm that any company even make them? the highest class 10 ive seen is an 8 gig micro sd.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
-BUYER BE WARNED-
Here's a pic of the real vs. the dogey:

so wired...
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.

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.

Just wanted to share my happiness (so far) from my latest buy, a 16GB class 10 card from eBay. Given the negative comments about eBay in this section, I thought I'd share. I had a sandisk ultra class 4 before, and it had very slow write speeds, so I returned it and bought this. Best £15 I ever spent.
Great speeds, very stable so far, my SGS is happy with it. The seller, in case you're interested, is called u2cheerz.
I attach the crystaldiskmark score, which outperforms my previous sandisk in every category. I just hope this doesn't die on me!!

Class 10 means minimum 10 MB/s. Which it covers perfectly. So I don't see why it's "fake". Maybe some better brands will give higher speeds, e.g. Lexar, but they cost four times as much.
As far as I'm concerned, it's more than 'just perfect'. The Sandisk Ultra (class 4) that I returned because it was too slow (class 4 indeed, despite some glowing reviews) costs £59.99 in store at Carphone Warehouse, and this £15 one wipes the floor with it and laughs at its face.
I'm not one to get excited by 'brands', sorry. If it works pefectly, which it does, it's more than enough for me. If you want to pay four times as much for something inferior, be my guest.

This is how my Verbatim 8GB Class 4 card performs... Bought off eBay for US$11 only.
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 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.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side.
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.

Really struggling to find a good speed microSD. All the 128's seem to be slow as butt. Ugh... I know most folks may say a really fast card isn't necessary...but this is the first time I've spent this much on a phone (up front) so I want to max this baby out.
So far... I've found these.
Lexar High-Performance MicroSDXC 633x 128GB UHS-I/U3

This one seems promising...but the reviews have some scary comments. Who knows if these are legit or if these folks are just dumb.
PNY High Performance 128GB High Speed MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-I
This one is priced well, but the comments talk about how it doesn't even reach the advertised speeds...
Patriot LX Series 128GB High Speed Micro SDXC
Barely hits 20mb/s in writing. So that sucks
(edit) Whoa, sorry the photos are huge! lol. Is there a way to limit their size? haha
Yeah I had this same problem. I decided to get the SanDisk 128GB anyway because of the Amazon sale. I found a really fast Samsung Pro one, but it only went up to 64GB. Hopefully you can find a really good one!

Yeah when I do I will post it here for all the other speed lovers out there!
Ya, I bought this SanDisk too from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Adapt...&qid=1442195829&sr=8-2&keywords=128gb+sandisk
I also bought the Samsung Pro+ 64gb card as well.
I've been using one from Lexar for a while with LG G3, G3 cat.6, and Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (N910T and N910S) without any problems.

Same here, I think it's an excellent card.
Haven't tested speeds on it but it seems fast for anything and everything I throw at it.
I would definitely recommend it.

Sorry, what do you mean? I am not sure what you are asking.
The card I have is the Lexar High-Performance MicroSDXC 633x 128GB UHS-I/U3 pictured in the OP.

Oh snap, sorry I read that as 64GB for some reason. How are the write speeds on the Lexar 633x?

No worries...
Like I stated earlier, I've never officially tested the speeds on this card.
As far as speed, I can say its super fast. I really don't have any complaints. It's about as good as it gets when it comes to Microsdxc cards.
Read speed is around 90+ MB/s
Write speed is around 40-45+ MB/s
I think it depends on how you use it and on what type of device.
I was using it on a Note 4 and never had any issues. Loaded it up with music and videos including 4k videos and everything worked fine.
Also, if you use it with the USB 3.0 adapter that comes with it. It will be much faster at write speeds.
Hope that helps.
There will come another card by Lexar with 1000x and up to 150 mb/s:

I saw that, but it is crazy costly. I will grab the x633
I've got the 128gb Lexar. It is a beast of a card.

USB 2.0 or 3.0? I'm sure with 3.0, you'll get a quicker transfer.
Ordered the 128GB Lexar x633, will be great for my FLAC collection.

It reads up to 80 MB/s. "Write Speed up to 20MB/s"
dont think most phones are capable of writing much over 40MB/sec anyway. on the style, even the internal emmc only writes at 40

I used to say that, but I was bashed on the OPO forums and told that phones read and write at at least 100.
This is another reason why I abandoned those forums
