amazon is too annoying, brings up anything and everything, don't trust ebay
mymemory has class 2 or class 10 for £80+
help
NM, found a thread on this forum and got one ordered. yay!
from? link?
Bought all my SD Cards from these guys http://www.mobymemory.com/micro-SD.asp
this thread isnt in the wrong section at all.............
Can I ask why people care about the class? I've just got a class 2 32gb card from Vodafone for £89. I've not noticed any problems or slowdown taking pictures or playing media...which are the only things my card is used for. Transfers are no slower than any other device I connect via USB.
What's the big fuss?
it's for running apps from in the (hopefully) near future.
class 6 means (i think) a minimum 6Mb/sec transfer rate
oh, got it from memory cow
Yes, but most people have suggested they see no difference when using apps2sd with the "slower" cards. It seems there's a lot of assumptions being made leading to actual sales decisions where it may not be needed.
See this fellow who thought a faster card would solve his issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708859
So where is no differences between class 2 and class 6 ?
Because i have dilemma now, i want to buy some high capacity microSD card, and if i take 32GB it will be class 2, and if i take at same cost 16GB card it will be class 6.
And does any body try to buy 32GB card from Ebay ? ( i am worrying that 32GB is not GB, its Gb, and that means just 4GB )
Thanks for help
i woul;dn't trust the cards off ebay tbh
I went ahead and bought the Transcend 16gb class 6 card through OFFTEK. It arrived with the adaptor, and was very prompt.
http://www.offtek.co.uk/item_detail....at=1&subcat=74
Pretty good price too. I just copied everything to my desktop, swapped cards and copied back.
The new card works great, but i did notice that the full card size is stated as "14.96gb" on the phone, rather than 16.
I also wonder if there is a difrence between a class 2 or class 6 card when playing movies, apps or taking pictures on your SD card.
because that would make the difrence between going for a 32gb or 16gb card.
well, i noticed a difference when copying files. both cards broke 10MB/sec on large files, but the old card dropped damn quick when copying loads of small files - e.g photos.
i'd imagine it would be like this when looking through an album or flicking from one image to the next. it's not about the max speed, but the minimum.

37 euro's for class 10/16GB seems waaay to cheap for me.
I also doubt it's a micro sd

THE CLASS OF AN SD CARD IS TO DO WITH ITS WRITE SPEED NOT ITS READ SPEED, YOU WONT NOTICE ANY DIFFENCE WHEN READING FROM IT

Perfectly normal not to get the quoted capacity, combination of space lost due to formatting and the tendency of hardware producers to size storage media in decimal (ie. 16 000 000 000 bytes) rather than the binary equivalent - which the OS displays (16 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 bytes).
I've confused myself with that statement - in short the hardware manufaturers use a commonly accepted, flattering but actually incorrect notation to lead you to believe that you are getting more for your money - HTH
Kingston make a 16gb class10, but it's pretty expensive (~100€)

Oh, and by the way, up to what class num can the Desire actually handle ?
I picked up my SanDisk 16GB Class 6 from the Carphonewarehouse when i went and got my Desire,,, i beleive it was £42
IMO i have always used Class 6 cards, i think they are the business, i dont care for read and write speeds i just need something that works and is reliable, SanDisk have always had my back so there ya go
hi i'm after a 16gb memory card but don't know what class to get, as cheap as possible but it must be from a well known manufacturer
Probably doesn't matter what anyone says - whichever brand person X stands behind, somenoe else will say it failed on them and to go for brand Y.
Having said that, I have a 16gb Kingston class 2 which has been perfect, cost about £25 or so when I got it. Recently picked up the same but a class 10. That one was about £80 including shipping as I wanted to see the speed difference, etc.
Not sure what others people will swear by. I don't swear by Kingston, but I have yet to have one go bad on me...

And was the Class 10 worth it for speed?
I've used both Kingston and Sandisk in the past - and currently have a 8GB Class 6 Sandisk in my desire. It's been just fine.
I'd like to make the leap to a 32GB card, but I'm slightly concerned the Class 2 one available might have issues. (Although I've read many contradicting posts on that subject too!)
@TractorMatty
Between an older 16gig class 2 and the 16gig class 10 yes - galleries rendered much quicker, seemed more responsive, etc.
But between a class 6 and a class 10... meh. Not worth it at the moment.
Does it matter what class you get? Because so far I can only find a 16bg class for over just £20.
Using Team Group 16GB microSDHC Class 6.
Got it from ebay
Go for Classe 6 it's almost like a C10, but cheaper (and you won't really notice any difference).

Well, i can tell the diff between my shipped in Desire's Samsung 4G Classe 2 and my previous Sandisk 8G Classe 4... My Classe 4 is faster.
I got a 8gb class 4 Kingston.. its fast enough for me...
Sent from my Desire using XDA App
I took the risk and tried the 32gb, online for $40au... failed miserably and still scarred by the copious time spent trying to copy, format, reformat, copy... with most ending up in the lost.dir (except for 1.2gb that ended up working).
Since then, have got a 16gb SanDisk. It's only a Class 2, but haven't had any issues with speed whether it be reading or writing. Avi's play in sync... Good bang for the buck.
Mind you, I only went for SanDisk because they were always good to me in the standard SD days, but have heard plenty of good word on Kingston and Lexar.
32gb on ebay are 75% fakes.
I just got my Kingston 16gb Class 10 card. Do you guys think my card reader's speed is maxed out and it might be able to go faster than this?
I'll be getting THIS ONE when they get it back in stock.
Well, just got a Kingston 16Gb class 10 and can't use it, because it's defective .
But I'm not blaming Kingston, it can happen with any brand and I'm gonna exchange it... Hopefully I have a Sandisk 16Gb class 2, a not-very-fast-but-working-SD-card....

Gtab will support up to 32gb microsd. so yes 16gb will work just fine, this is what I am currently using as I don't want to pay around $100 for a 32gb card. I am using a 16gb class 4 (Patriot memory) and it works really well, I have also tested a 16gb class 2 (SanDisk) and I really don't see any difference in the feel or performance. I assume that higher class would be faster data transfer but haven't had any issues with a class 2 or 4 yet (I keep my music library on SD2).
I purchased a couple of those from NewEgg. That manufacturer has given me NOTHING but problems with their SDHC cards.
Just an FYI

What were the problems you were having with the a-data?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
I have an OEM 32GB Sandisk microSD, and it works just fine in the device (so far).
As for ADATA, I have a relationship with them now which I will pass on... in 2008, my wife had gotten me a Class 6 16GB SDHC by ADATA, it had a "lifetime limited" warranty. Last July, I started using it pretty heavily in my Pandgital Novel, a LOT of remove / reinserts as I was testing mods on it. It quickly disintegrated (literally, the outer case fell apart - I have never seen anything like it).
So, I called them. Several times. At first they weren't going to honor the warranty as they claimed it was unusual wear and tear. But, I was persistent and slightly irate at points ("I will never buy from you again, and neither will anyone in Slatedroid!") and they eventually caved and gave me an RMA. It was a long process but my replacement card is now on its way to my home. So, in the end, they did honor the warranty but "the squeaky wheel gets the oil", as the saying goes.
Very insightful..Thanks for the replies..Won't know till I am there.Might just get a 32gb and be done with it...At work and can't wait to get off so I can root this thing...

Just a reminder (its been pointed out in this forum and many others), but you're wasting your money on a "faster" class micro sdhc card for use in a g-tablet. The higher class cards are all with respect to WRITE speeds. You also need special hardware to take advantage of the faster write speeds. Usually fast writing hardware is only found in expensive digital SLR cameras. If your device doesn't mention the ability to make use of the faster write speeds then a class 2 card will perform identically to a class 6 card, etc.
I am 95% sure that Adata makes the cards that Micro Center sells cheap, under their name.
With that in mind, I have bought many MicroSD(HC), SD(HC), and USB flash drives over the years from them, and had a few fail. However, they have a lifetime warranty on them too, and all I have to do is take it to the store, and they replace it on the spot. No receipt, nothing.
They don't have a 32GB MicroSDHC card yet, but I am eagerly waiting for them to so I can get one. Best they got for now is a 16GB for $24.
Like roebeet mentioned... nothing but failure after failure on all of them. Lifetime warranty or not, it's not worth the hassle returning it, copying data, etc..etc..
I guess, it all depends on if your time is worth more to you then a few dollars more for a "name brand" SDHC card that won't fail after a few months.
Size of card.
I answered this 3 weeks ago. The limit is 32GB, and my Sandisk works well on my stock gTablet. I bought the micro card locally at a Verizon Wireless store. No other retailer in the Philadelphia area carried a 32GB micro card, not even on their Web sites. I have audio and video files on the card; no hiccups when playing same.

64GB microsd limt
According to the manual (gttp://w w w .viewsonic.com/assets/104/20736.pdf sorry can't post URLs yet) on p. 54:
"The G Tablet currently supports up to 64GB micro SD cards. It
is recommended that the G Tablet be used with at least a 32GB
micro SD card to ensure the best user experience."
I've been using a 32GB SanDisk class 2 which seems to be working well.

Try to find one. I did and failed completely. 64GB SD and CF, yes. But no micro I could find anywhere. I got a couple of 16s from Amazon, and almost filled them with media (left room for a backup folder on each) and I am going to rotate them.
Here's a 32GB Class 6 for only $56 http://www.mwave.com/mwave/SKUSearch_v3.asp?px=PW&scriteria=AB02429
It would be nice to know if the gtab supports SDXC as well as SDHC. What say you Viewsonic?
Supposedly there is no real distinction between SDHC and SDXC 3.0 specs. Hardware wise it is the same. Other OSes (Android?) should be able to support SDXC with support drivers. This would mean any current SDHC device can be SDXC with a software update. SDHC won't support SDXC 4.0 specs (which isn't final yet) which features higher data transfer rates. That is according to wikipedia at least...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital
I don't believe micro SDXC cards exists just yet.
I still don't understand why manufacturers aren't using full size SD cards, they're cheaper and with tablets the size they are, a full size SD won't add much to it. It would save everyone a lot of money.

^ This. On an iphone sized device, sure uSD makes a decent savings size. On a 7+ inch tablet not so much. I wouldn't mind playing around with some USB SD readers and seeing if they work. If so you might be able to fit one somewhere in the chassis. There is the USB port, just need space to solder to the leads and add a hub and/or reader.

I think I have the same Patriot 16GB SDHC Class 4, and just like the reviews on NewEgg state it seems to run @ Class 6 speed. The price was good and so far I'm happy with it.
Shortly after I posted that, I went and looked around and couldn't find one either.
I also realized I am only running a 16GB SD card... thought I had a 32. Doh!

Hi guys,
Could someone please suggest a decent 128gb micro sd card for me to buy?
There seems to be a lot of fakes on EBAY.
I brought recently one but as soon as I save around 11gb of data, it starts going funny as in not displaying videos or photos. I get black icons instead of images and nothing loads.
Thanks.
The one you bought it's a fake. I bought one off Amazon when they first came out. It's a SanDisk. Buy it from someone you can trust. And if the price seems be too good to be true, then it probably is.

At Amazon UK the real 128GB cards are about £80-90.
When I bought mine I got it for $119. That was last year. But I tested it and it is a real 128GB card. Here is where I got it.

That one is pretty slow for a big card. I would consider a different card or a sandisk exptreme pro
When I bought mine, it was the only 128GB card on the market
They also sell the Samsung Evo 128Gb micro sd's on amazon. This is the one im buying for Christmas. This is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-128GB...419061745&sr=1-3&keywords=128gb+micro+sd+card
Either or!!! Can't justify spending $100+ to gain a little speed over my Old Version 128GB SanDIsk. Not sure if I can benefit from the speed upgrade. Probably could go to a smaller faster card, I am only using 30GB of this one.
Appreciate all your replies guys! Thank you.
I will order one of the SanDisk cards from Amazon.
Hey guys,
I was thinking of buying a micro SD for my Edge, but I don't know which one to buy.
I have narrowed it down to two:
Samsung Pro 64GB
Samsung Evo 128GB
Unfortunately, I could not find a Samsung Pro 128GB. I guess they don't make it.
Since I'm using a Samsung phone, I'll like to strictly stick with Samsung.
Is the extra speed on the Pro 64GB worth it, or is it better in the long run to have double the capacity but less speed?
What are you opinions about this?
How do you all feel about more memory less speed, or less memory more speed.
Thank you.
Personally, I would go with speed over size. If I could, I'd trade my SanDisk 128 in for a pair of fast 64gb disk.

I was just at my local Best Buy and they had them in stock. I picked one up for $100.00 bucks. I had a really nice 64 gb card that I bought when they had them mislabeled, i got it for $50 bucks but they are retailing them for $199.00 I needed more memory. I also looked on SanDisk site and they now have a 200 gb micro sd card.
Yea theres 256GBs now...I got one already and it works great. I had the 128GB and the 64GB before...Samsung is now taking this option away as well as removablw battery. And they put a smaller battery in the Note 5 as well as didnt put out a 128GB model as promised..
Just 32 and 64 with no SD slot...they screwed up bad...Im heartbroken
The largest card ive seen on the Sandisk site is a 200GB.
After doing some research, I stumbled upon this card - which, as far as I can tell, is the fastest card on the market. I can't find anything else that claims to have read speeds of 150MB/sec, and it isn't that much more expensive than other 64GB cards out there.
I'll be receiving it on Monday. If there's interest, I'd be happy to run some tests and post the results here. A 128GB version will eventually be available, but it took months to get this card in stock - hard to say if BHP's September 10th estimate is going to be accurate or not.
Yeah please run the test
I might buy the 128gb if it is good

Mate, run it through H2Test. You can probably get away with just running the 1st 16gb, I use 32gb but I'm a pedantic little sh!t.
If it's fake, it will fail at around the 8gb mark.
The 1st 2,4 or 8gb's are usually fine but anything after gets corrupted. H2Test will let you know if the card is real or fake.
I got a 256gb micro sd card off ebay from a seller that was there since 2006, good reputation and very little negative feedback. The card was packaged like a Samsung card, had everything right. Ran it through H2Test and found after the 1st 7.5gb that everything was corrupted.
I found out why the seller has such a good rating as I complained, got my money back, within 30 minutes at 10:30pm at night, but then couldn't leave feedback.
Most people throw the sd card into their PC or phone, it says that it's xxx size and they think it''s fine. Trouble is, after they fill up the 8gb then they loose anything they save be it photo's, video or documents.
Very upsetting if you take a photo of your kids or someone you love only to find it doesn't exist later, just a header with no data...
Unfortunately there are a lot of sellers out there who either honestly don't know or are out to sell to suckers and these knockoff cards are becoming far too common and are almost, if not are, indistinguishable from the real items...
Lesson here, if it's too good to be true, it usually is...
Good luck with your card, but at that price I REALLY am suspicious and you would have to be some kind of idiot not to test it out before loosing those precious memories forever....
Bro you get what you pay for, and 256gb run north of $150 range so if you see a version going for 8 pounds which is what one that's like 32gb goes, then youre likely to get that as well.
Never had a prob with the Sandisk Ive had it for a year and a half and outlasted my phone that just soft bricked. I highly recommend their stuff, Ive never tried the Samsung versions, they were not out when I was shopping for mine at the time
