Considering getting a 32gb sdhc card for my epic4g. any problems noted? any advice?
You should be fine with about anything, but I have been burned a few times on spending less on SD memory. Buy a cheap 32 and you'll be lucky to get 20. IMHO. That or a Class 6 will really r/w at 2mb.

I recommend the Kingston one that just came out. It's a class 4 as opposed to SanDisk's class 2. I got mine for $87 on Newegg, but it seems they've upped the price to $109 now.
These only seem to be available online though or that is my experience.

Does anyone use a 32GB micro SD in their device? I'm looking to get a class 10 32GB micro SD but I'm not sure what brand/manufacturer to go with or where I can get the best price. Basically, my main priority is to get a safe, reliable, and fast (class 10 preferably) 32GB micro SD. I've never been too educated in the SD memory market, so I was wondering if anyone could help me out. Thanks in advance!
Sandisk is always a good choice. As for class 10, I'm not sure why you need one that speedy. I have 32GB class 2 card and it is plenty fast enough for my g2x.

Oh really? Well that's good to know. (Like I said I'm not too knowledgeable about SD cards.) I'll look up SanDisk on Amazon, I figured they would be a good source. Thanks!
I also found this: http://www.amazon.com/Lexar-MicroSD...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1306885736&sr=1-1 (as far as class 10 ones go) and the reviews seem to be pretty good. Does anyone know if that manufacturer (Lexar) is reliable?
Here's a few good options. I personally have a 32gb wintec class 10, and that cards been a champ since day one. Class 4 cards are good enough especially since i believe android is limited to class 4 speeds

Thanks a lot! I think I'll go for the wintec class 10 based on your recommendation. That's an interesting observation about Android, but since I'm going to be using the SD card with different devices in the future, I figured I might as well go for the best.
I have a 32gb kingston class 4 and its been running pretty good.
i have two. A class 4 Sandisk and a class 10 Adata. The sandisk seems to work the best. I lost my data on the Adata 3 times and had to return one DOA. While the Adata did have really good speeds it just didnt seem reliable.
Iv never used a 32 but iv had an 8 and a 16 made by A~Data, and have no complaints
dont trust any brands u dont know meng.. there are tonnes of fake cards out there so the best thing to do is to buy from the stores the guys have listed up top.. but if u happen to buy from eBay: here are a list of things to look out for
1) the brand name is Kingston, Sandisk, AData or Lexar - those are known and trusted brands to work with.
2) the class of the disk is displayed on the microSD Card and the class relates to a price - if its a class 10 and its cheap - beware.. safest bet is to go with either a class 4 or a class 6
3) Insure that the Serial number is displayed on the microSD Card.. if you dont see a serial number then ask for one and check via google to insure that it is legit
that is how i got this wicked awesome 32GB Kingston card from eBay for 20 bucks.. i had a 32GB class 10 card from memorex but couldnt make a ext partition with it and thats how i discovered that it was fake
Dane-Elec and Transcend are fine and I am using them in GTab and X10.
I also have Sandisk and using it in G2x.
I have a 32g class 10 from Kingston. It works flawlessly, and you can see the speed improvement. Pick one up here.
Just picked up a ADATA 32gb fron newegg on sale for 49$ + free shipping (Class 4).
ordered the sensation today and wanna ask first how is the card that comes with the device? are people using it or most of you bought a new one?
2nd, which card would you recommend?
It's not a bad card, 8gb class 4 so it's fast enough for most everything. What is too bad is that the phones doesn't have more built in memory. I can fill 8gb fast so for me, a 16 GB card is minimum and the higher the class the better imho.
There are a lot of cards out there, I would recommend a name brand unit and at least class 6. I've got a 32gb class 10 from newegg and it works great (cant find link right now).

good enough? or too much?
That's a link to the seller's feedback so I don't know what item you were looking at. Feedback seems good though.
A Data 32GB here.
sorry, this is the link

You need a micro sd. That link is the wrong one.
ok i give up.. can anyone recommend me on a good and not expensive 16gb card?
I brought a 16gig pny card, its been very good so far.
Newegg has the ADATA 16GB Class 10 card for $25 right now. I bought it for $35 when I got my phone last month & I thought even that price was worth it
Try not to buy anything that are related to storage on ebay or online in general, e.g. microsd card, external harddrive, usb stick...they tend to be always fake. Best to go to local stores with good reputation for these things.
I bought a Lexar 32GB class 10 microSDHC card.
17 MB/sec read
8 MB/sec write
this was using SD tool for android.
I am hoping that once S-OFF is achieved, and we get cyanogen running on this device, the speeds will improve. The card cost me about $90 shipped, and came with a USB to microSDHC adapter. At this point I am very disapointed in the card's performance. Even when using my computer to transfer the data to it, the best I got was about 8 MB/sec write.
Also after a full format on Windows 7, the card only shows 29.8 GB capacity
though the detailed figure was 32,005,685,248 Bytes
I am hoping this card is not a fake. Can anyone else confirm their benchmarks with a 32 GB lexar class 10?
locate a Lexar 16gb class 6 from a reputable dealer.
can be had for around $20.
I get around 7-9mb write and around 17-20mb read speed.
seems like about the same speed as the class 10 Lexar above.
32gb version is too expensive still. don't understand why they cost almost 5 times more when the capacity is only double.

Your capacity is correct. The difference is due to the fact that a properly calculated byte, kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, or terabyte is calculated in base-2. The manufacturers have long been in the habit of calculating in base-10, hence the difference in what's claimed and what you actually see.

I think it might be a bit much to imply that any online vendor should be avoided when purchasing flash memory. As long as it's from a reputable vendor (not a ebay seller or amazon seller), you should be OK and in the event that you end up with a fake you would be protected by the vendor's return policy.

Like white i purchased a lexar 32gb class 10 card. Although transferring to the card was slower than claimed from my hard drive but transferring from my old micro sd to the new one i recieved much higher speeds with a class 6 limit due to the old card. As for onlkne vendors i have purchased all my external/internal and sd cards from ebay. I have had 1 problem but that was my fault because the offered price was too good to be true

hmm i read an article on the main xda page about microsd cards.. it says the sandisk one has better i/o and random reads and writes.. so now im really lost..well in the end.. u still cant transfer more than 4gb file onto your microsd card.

why cant you transfer more than 4gb file onto the card?
sorry for not being specific. You cant transfer more than a 4gb file because that's the limit for a fat32 microsd.... i believe.. lol
Yep, fat32 has a file size limit of 4Gb.
now i doubt there will be any difference between sd cards. We need a2sd or d2sd in order to evaluate better. On the HD2 there was a major difference between class 2 and a class 6 card. On the sensation i have tried class 2 and class 6 the performance seems the same.
Dont know if anybody has seen this but i thought i would post it anyway play.com have got some great deals on micro sd cards

Just thought i would post this for everybody hope somebody finds it helpful
I need to buy some microSD cards for my Nook Tablets. I want to put CM10.1 on them. I have been told that Class 4 are okay, then someone else said 6 and another says class 10. What is the correct answer? Would getting a SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card from Amazon.com or Newegg be a good choice?
That is exactly what I did with my nook, and I bought the same sd card. It has worked out beatifully ever since. My class 10 sd cards are the only ones that have never died on me.
