What would you guys recommend as a speedy and stable 32GB microSD card for the Galaxy S 4G? I was looking at the Patriot LX Series on Newegg but the relatively poor reviews concern me.
Given the pricing at this time, I'd go with an 8 GB, Class 6 card and wait for prices to drop on even the 16 GB, Class 6
32 GB or Class 10? IMHO waaaay too expensive at this time. Are you really writing that much data that often? The read speeds of even the Class 2 card that the SGS4G shipped with is comparable to Class 6 cards.
I've had good luck with the Transcend cards -- Class 6, 8 GB ~$18, 16 GB ~$55
well I am down to about 3GB on my stock 16GB class 2 card so I am definitely looking at 32GB microsd cards only.
I am honestly not particularly concerned about the price and I'd be willing to pay up to $200 for one as long as it is fast and stable. My current class 2 card is quite slow when loading applications and when looking through things like my pictures gallery which is stored on the card as well.
Go to Pricegrabber's website and input the following part number - TS16GUSDHC6-P3

What does the -P3 buy you? The TS16GUSDHC6E card is only $55 at Amazon
Transcend's site doesn't suggest that there are tiered performance based on the suffix.

Patriot is some of the best PC Ram and SSDHD's you can buy for PC's. So I would assume based on the fact it's similar tech that their microSD's would be of similar top notch quality.

I was lucky and just got a 16gb micro sd card from Radio Shack for 25$ yesterday. They seem to have the best sales so far.

hows that?
Lower class means faster speeds or opposite?

lower is slower
How much slower? And do you know the class of the SD card that came with the evo?
Best Buy had the 16gb Class 10 card for 49.99...Is that really a best buy or is it a sham?

I bought the Transcend 32GB Class 4 about 2 weeks ago and so far so good. It did about 4MB/s writing (upgraded from a Transcend 8GB class 6) while copying content from the older card (about 7GB of data). I watch movies from SD, move apps to SD, snap some picks and shoot videos without issues. This is all on a KG4 rom if that makes a difference.
If you are going to copy large files (like movies) all the time, a faster card might help but the Lexar's are dang expensive!
Hope this helps.

Go here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15269669#post15269669 for a lot of useful information about 32 GB SD cards.
It seems for cellphones the sandisk 32 GB class 4 card seems to be the best performing for everyday use.
I hope this helps.
I have a Wintec class 10 and to be honest, its the way to go. Nothing beats the speed.
Just received my PNY 32gb class 10 the other day, and so far its blazing fast on Whitehawkx's Valhala ROM.

Glad you went with the class 10! Its a win for sure. Do an SD benchmark test and you'll be amazed at the results.
What sdcard can you recommend 16 or 32 GB? Of course I am considering only 16GB class 10 and 32 GB class 4.
I would like to know some points of view, like if it is useful to have 32GB rather than 16, how works the phone, I mean slower or normally with 32 and so on.
Thanks for your help
Well tell me this.. are you even using 16 or even 8gb of data on your micro sd card? 32 and 16 seem overkill.
Actually I have almost full my current 8GB, you know some ROMs for emulators ,some movies etc. so maybe 16 shall be ok.

My advice is that if you can afford to pay for a good 32gb from genuine traders, then go for a 32gb. It will save you the trouble of buying a 32gb sooner than later.
I have a 32gb on both my winmo and on my DZ. Can record without crossing everything for fear of running out of space.

Be very careful if you buy from eBay. I bought a fake, but since I had paid using paypal, I got my money back.
if you're going 32gb, then I'll be assuming you'll be putting your music library in there.
I"m also in the market for a 32gb micro sd (maybe if i can get my paws on a class 10, but that's really dropping some serious money on it [atleast for me]) since my music library is at a scant 16gigs (maybe more, but i havne't checked) so I wouldn't mind 32gb so i have lots of leeway to get my stuff in there.
There is only one question here:
Music or no music?
If you have music on your phone, go for the 32GB.
If not, I'd go for the faster 16GB.
I just bought a 32GB Class 10 Patriot card for a little over $100 at Frys .
Definitely an improvement over the 16GB Class 2 I was using . Buy the best
once and never look back IMO
id say grab a kingston 8gb class 10, just got mine for 19.99 ill wait on a 32 class 10 when they're not so obscenly priced..

I have one of these too, make SURE you follow the format instructions on patriots forums otherwise the card is going to go tits up and corrupt all your data once it stores over 16GB of data. There are "issues" with newer android/wm7 phones and patriot class 10 32gb microsd cards (they admit its true). Their current workaround/fix is to format it a specific way WITHOUT LBA and with 32k clusters.
I haven't tried it yet since, I said screw it, and went back to my 16GB a-data class 6. I lost all my data on the patriot 3 times and using my phone for music is not that important.
Other people on that forum say the "fix" works though so it may benefit you to format it per the instructions if you haven't already and you are worried about data loss.
I put the 32gb patriot card in my dslite so my daughter has more games to play. She's 6 and is beyond happy with all the stuff on it now. Anyways, here are the two important threads over on patriots website for the 32gb class 10 LX card.

I didn't notice enough of a speed difference between the class 10 and class 6 on my g2 anyway. I DO, however, notice a difference in speed when I use the class 10 card on my ds lite. Certain games don't stutter or freeze with it.
Ok i have bought 32GB class 4 Kingston for some about 90USD. As i had been reading i have found the highest class 4 for 32 instead class 10 :/ so i was too fast.

Good to know, because I have an AceKard 2i and the original DS.
But if yo go to the Dev section, there is a mod to increase the cache sizes and boost read rates profoundly.

I got one class 10 but from Transcend for 25euro and it's so sweet!
Because I want to flash allot of roms that are 300mb+ it's really handy to get the files up there fast. And you can shoot 1080p at 30mb without any problem
I just got a 32 gig, same brand.

They get here tomorrow, so after I get off work I'll run it and post the results.
I got the Transcend 16GB class 10 from Newegg.com, also for $35.
According to SD Tools benchmark, write speed is around 11mb/s and read speed is 18 mb/s.
I picked up my 16gb pny from bestbuy org. Price: $49.99... With my gf's discount: 21.50
Alright. I just installed it and did the following in CWM before I even booted up with it:
Format
Partition
- 2048 ext
- 256 swap
Reboot System
Once up, I installed SD tools and these are the results. Not too bad if you ask me.

Thanks guys Yeah, I noticed the PNY one is meant to be pretty good.
They also have the Lexar Class 10 32GB one at a decent price. But will probably stick with 16GB for a while.
i've got one off low price memory in my sensation.
it's the inov8 branded one.
on sd tools it scores about 10.5 write 17 read
Sweden seems to be too small of a market
Since the amount of products that are shipped internationally from Amazon/eBay is pathetically low, I ask if anyone know any good Class 10 cards which can be delivered to Sweden? 16, but especially 32 GB is of interest.
Hi.
Am I being thick - I can't see a PNY micro SDHC card on play.com?
I can only see an SD card which won't go into my Sensation??

See I knew I was being thick!!
Hi there, I just bought the Sensation and I started the research for a good Micro SD to use on it. On my previous phone (the Desire I have in my sign) I had a Sandisk 8GB Class 6 which never gave me any prob, but I'm reading here and there that with the size of the new ROMs having less than 16Gb would mean meeting a few problems when it comes to have more than a couple of nandroid on your SD, plus video & pics in HD require more & more space.....SO: I wanted to get a 16GB class 6 or 10 but I'm having quite a hard time to find a Sandisk one (I'm wondering if Sandisk even produce something like that...) and at the same time I read here & there in various forum people having some trouble with non-sandisk memory card
At this point I thought to ask all of you which card do you use and if and what problems did you experience with it(?!?)
Tried to use the search tool but couldn't find out much out of this subject...
P.S. If you choose "Other" in the poll please then specify with a post which one you use exactly!
I have the Lexar 32 GB class 10. It works perfectly fine.
Sandisk 32gb, class 4, its perfect

Probably not. mmmmmaybe some choppiness on hd video playback, but more than likely the only thing you'll notice is it takes longer to transfer large files too and from the card.

Hi all,
I'm thinking about buying myself a bigger SD Card soon.
I'm thinking about going for a 32Gb card, I can't justify splashing out for a 64Gb card IMHO.
I've been looking at a few cards, I've seen and heard that these are pretty good.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005FQLN28/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=computers&psc=1
I've been looknig at the first 4 from this search: http://www.play.com/Search.html?searchtype=allproducts&searchsource=0&searchstring=32gb+micro+sd
The card I posted a link to first is in that list, I'm wondering about the classes though. Which class would be best? I've heard that either 6 or 10 are the best for phones.
Does anyone have any Exp. with one of these cards?
Cheers,
T-L-H
I have a SanDisk 32GB Class 4. Works fine, I got it on sale for about £16.50 which was a bargain.
IMO Class 4 or Class 6 is best for phones, unless you transfer films and things often
If you're going to buy a Class 10 I'd go far a SanDisk Ultra due to the better small file write speeds.
I use 32GB Sandisc card class 4, for me it's OK

Play.com have it for £17 today when I checked.
I have a question and need assistance from experienced members here, I have a HTC Sensation and i am also looking forward to increase my SD Card memory to max 32 GB Class 10, now i have doubts over this, kindly open HTC official site and check Sensation technical specs, it says that Expansion slot: microSD™ memory card (SD 2.0 compatible) and while i was checking the product on an online site, it says Fully compatible with SD 3.0 Standards, the product is Transcend Micro SDHC 32 GB Class 10. so my question is that since HTC says sensation is SD 2.0 compatible, will it runs SD 3.0 Standard card without any problems ?
kindly answer as i need to take decision asap.
