Hi! It seems that there have been significant interests in SD cards for the sensation in this forum but I noticed that the threads are scattered. So I created this thread to hopefully consolidate these Q&As. So, the next time you see a good SD card deal, state:
1: Its price
2: Capacity (Of course)
3: Brand
4: Whether you placed an order or it has been shipped.
Hopefully this thread does put all the SD card concerns centrally and users will find it hugely convenient too. For irresistible deals, I may update them in this post so that everyone can *rush* for it!
I have this card and so far so good. It actually has a price drop since I bought it. Looks like a good deal to me.

Happy that helped you guys
I bought two of these for me and the wife. Performs like a champ. I get 7mb p/s when moving data from the pc to phone. A little faster when I use my usb card reader on the computer. Very fast. Performs better than I thought it would.

Got them in 2 days with prime. Awesome deal if you ask me.

Im using 16gb card and works great!
Me too
infact, HTC's website states that max limit microSD (2.0) is 16gb..

just don't buy a cheap, slow one... it does make a difference (mine works fine, btw)
Yes the same card as I'm using - you can get them for around £38 in the UK now

I bought a cheap slow one. Its class 2 thats the only kind they make Dandisk 16gig Class to for 75 bucks.
Anyone know the speed difference between Class 2 and 6. Someone posted that the writing speed doubled but the reading spead was just a little better.

The Class refers to the number of Mb/sec. Therefore Class 2 is 2Mb /sec. Class 4 is 4 and Class 6 is 6. See http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/speed_class/

The 16Gb MicroSD of SanDisk only comes in Class2
(See Sandisk specs.)
And that's the only 16Gb microSD I've seen so far.
So not a lot of choice I'm afraid

This is the same card I've got Call of Duty 2 PPC Working on.
Just noticed the picture on your first post is different to that of SanDisk microSDHC™ 16GB Card
Note the 2 next to SanDisk on the image which my card has too - so be careful of fake cards
My Sandisk 16GB MicroSDHC card is working perfectly for a couple of weeks now (its Class 2, currently the only Class available in 16GB microSDHC cards - many are advertising Class 4 but this is incorrect).
Anyone know how fast Touch Pros writing/reading speed is on memorycards?
Im about to order the Sandisk 16gb class 2 now, but am a bit afraid that the speed is to low?? My second choice is the Sandisk Ultra 8gb class 6..
Is their a noticable difference between them, except the storage?
Will be used mainly for, tomtom music and video and some gaming.
I mean, can the TP really take advantage of the high speed of the Ultra card?
Thanks
Has anyone seen a 32Gb mico SD working on the FUZE?
Anyone found them in the USA yet? (besides Ebay).
I am guessing no one except online has the 32 gig sd card. Plenty of places have the 16, but not able to find the 32 besides online. Makes me think any online or not legit.
Anyone have an idea?
I got mine from verizon. I'm not sure if they have them in the store but it was free next day shipping so I bought mine online.
Why was this thread even created when you replied to a thread of the exact same topic at around 7am the same day? Either way....
I tried to organize a group buy for 32GB Class 6 MicroSD cards when I was still on the Samsung Moment forums...needless to say, it was harder than I thought. It seems that they're starting to become more reliable and coming down in price vs when they first started hitting the market. Early on people complained about issues of actually only storing 2-16GB's, sometimes losing information, etc due to something with the formatting of the cards from their producers. As time has gone, they seem to have gotten better and are down to around $50...but I have yet to try one personally.
I got my sandisk 32GB from amazon for around 100USD its a class 2 but read good things about class 2 sandisk vs cheap class 4/6 cards
just ran a test and i write @ 5.5-6.5 MB/s and read @ 11MB/s on mine... testing installed in phone mounted to pc with stock cable
and 29.71GB useable space

That is about the same speed of the 16 GB samsung card that came with my phone.
That's because theyre both only Class 2 cards. They work fine, but once we get apps2sd working, we'll need Class 6 cards for them to be efficient.

a good C2 will beat a cheap C6... just saying.. class 6 is rated differently by different manufacturers.. some rate buy write and some rate by speed...
sandisk is by write and even so i am writing at 6MBs and reading at 11MBs which is plenty fast for a2sd-ext, actually its in spec for a C6 sd... and thats not using a straight card reader.. thats just mounted and using stock cable fwiw...
just sayin... dont get some 50 dollar "class6" and expect miracles when it comes to speed.

I know what you're "just sayin", both times. Per a Wikipedia article from the people who first wrote the Apps2SD app stated that a Class 6 card is needed to match the processor speed so the app can run efficiently.

yes, but a class 6 writes at a minimum of 6MB... that being said a GOOD C2 will be just as efficient.
We've all seen post about where not to buy memory cards. I would like to start a list of Ebay sellers we can trust.
I don't know how to set up any lists, but if you could just tell us the sellers name, type of card and price. Short recommendation is cool. I would apreciate any posts.
Everybody wants cheap cards, but we hate throwing away money.
Stay away from eBay when buying microSD's. Go to newegg.com . Sweet prices and you will definatly get what you paid for. Do you have a local Fry's Electronics at.your place? They always have the good deals
lol with all the notorious Chinese fakes out there I doubt anyone at this point want to take the risk. Even if user has high rating don't matter all know stories about reputable vender account been taken and used for scams. Even if they do find decent card with decent price then they have to test the mSD thoroughly checking the basic IOPs rate and verify the data allocated is not corrupted along with actual applicable size of the card itself.
Like Lakeshow423 suggested go get it from Newegg and if you don't like it send it back in 30days, if you have problem later then check the OEM warrenty 90days/1year. When it comes to your data you can't take chance trust me I know. Thats why I run 3x NSS rated at total 28.4TB

Or i'd recommend newegg.com as mentioned.

Thanks guys.
The Ebay thing got people a little heated.
Thanks for the tip but everyone uses Newegg. I asked because you never know what hole in the wall places people find and trust. You don't know til you ask. I got my 16gb from Ebay really cheap, it's real I've had it for 2 years.
Update: Just checked Microcenter.com - That's what I'm talking about.
Bought a 32GB card from ebay...seller rated at like 99% positive. Still got a **** card. Doesn't work at all..won't format... ****ing ridiculous.
What I learned when playing with the MyTouch3g, you want to get a class 4 or higher device. This will almost guarentee success. The standard class 2 device seems to have issues with the HTC devices.
I got a 16 G class 4 for 18.00 from Office Depot here in FL. Newegg is also a favorite!!!
To my homies in Sharonville, and Cincinnati area, a shout out from a former Blanchester boy!
I just checked Microcenter.com and only see 1 mSD. SanDisk 32GB C2 = 164.99 < Overpriced you can get it for $80-90. Your best bet is going with reputable dealers who you can trust if anything goes wrong they will take care of it and Newegg has done it for me in the past.

Cool Glad you like em. It's a n3rd store but they got the stuff. If you ever pass through Cincinnati you should stop in a take a peak around.
I remember I purchased 32GB Sandisk from Irish vendor (yes, shipped from Ireland) and it works 100%.
jandr.com is a trustable seller (The store is located at City Hall, NYC) and I often buy stuff in person. They have 32GB Transcend class 2 for $75.
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!!

Sorry to bother you my friend,but this microSD is fake one, 10class speeds are waaay bigger,also the real 10class cost about 50EUro.
But yours OK,for that price it`s just perfect,I got sandisk 16GB class2 with 7mb write and 22mb read.

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.

Got it, put stuff on it and it works.
This is how my Verbatim 8GB Class 4 card performs... Bought off eBay for US$11 only.
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.

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!

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

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.
