Cheap micro SD cards?

Anyone got a line on a cheap 32 gb micro SD card? The cheapest I can find is $90. Which is messed up, cause a 16 gb card is only like, 25-30 bucks. Any ideas?

Yeah, I've been looking, too. Finding a 32GB Class 6 is even more difficult.

I suggest the newegg that is where I bought mine and they were cheap! mind me asking what you plan on putting on a 32GB sdcard?

I want a 32GB Class 10 but sadly I dont think they exist

LOTS of music and other docs, plus some room for apps and photos/videos.

Well, if I can put all my music and stuff on my phone, then I can stop carrying my ipod back and forth to work everyday, and that makes me a happier camper.

I normally recommend newegg, but I just checked and they only have up to a 16gb micro-sd card currently...not only that, but it's a whopping $51!

There is a 32 class 6 released by a company called Komputerbay. But the resulting speeds in the Amazon review are disappointing. If our phones will be compatible with sdxc, that's probably a good wait. You can get a class 4 for a decent price right now, or grab a 16gb class 10. Sucks that switching an sd is a pain in the g2.

I only see the kingston for like a hundred bucks.

This is $90 including shipping:

but it's supposedly a Class 6 card so it should be fast - if it's genuine, that is...

I think the Kingston class 4 32gb was just released and is a little over $150. Class 10s are expensive, but as with everything they'll be getting cheaper with time.

It looks good, however, I don't know how I feel about ordering this from Australia. Anyone here going to take one for the team and order this?

[Q] Deals on MicroSD cards thread

So, I am considering either a 32 or 16 gb microsdhc card. Amazon has this Sandisk 32 gb card for 36.81.(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WGJYCY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3I03IKXN1ZUN8) Anyone have other ideas for good sources for MicrosdHC cards? 32 would be awesome, but 16 will do as well. I've had good luck with Sandisk. Has anyone had good luck with some of these off-brand cards out there?

I like to use NewEgg, not always the complete cheapest but they generally have good deals. Their cards are normally not made in china however and if you do have a issue with read/write speed or anything for that matter their customer service is impeccable, they will not hesitate to send you a new card even before you send the other back so you wont be without.

Same here, just bought a sandisk 16g class4 two days ago for 19.99 w/fs, it's on its way to mah house.

I just found out this deal at dealextreme. KingMax MicroSD card 16GB and class 10 for 32 euro's!
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/genuin...card-with-sd-card-adapter-16gb-class-10-54349
It's a real and good brand and according to the test it really gets class 10 speeds so that should be perfect for your phone. Probably going to buy one soon myself.

Got my 32gb for free thank you verizon

A few people using 32GB class 10 cards

That was the first result in a Google Search for "inspire 4g 32 class 10"
Just for future reference...
A search on this site would have found it as well

Apparently so since I have one in mine and no issues.

Sorry I checked google but didn't find anything useful at the time, thank you a lot though and i got ripped off. and Are microcenter microsd cards legit?

Micro Center as a retailer is legite. But I don't think they have a Micro Center brand 32GB microSD. Do yourself a favor and buy from legite places like Newegg.com or BestBuy or even WalMart. And stick with a name brand card.

Got the lexar class 10 in mine from inception

Just remember you get what you pay for. If someone is offering a Micro sd at a price that seems too good to be true then it will be too good to be true. I agree with above. Stay to known good retailers. Like Best Buy or Wal-mart or office max.

Yes, I'm using a class 10 32gb micro sd right now. I did have to format it in a special way before it worked properly. See my post at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18832647#post18832647

Not that you may be on to something but I have only formatted past cards with windows or the phone itself and never had an issue like this. I have been using a 32GB card now for over 3 months. It is 85% full and works perfectly. And it was fully formatted (not quick format) with my computer in a card slot with an sd adapter.

I'm now using a 64gb micro SD.

Best Buy usually has the 32 and 64gb cards on sale. I don't buy cards from eBay or Amazon so I bought from somewhere I know I'll get what I'm paying for. I bought a SanDisk 32gb mobile ultra card for 34.99 and the 64gb were also on sale for 79.99. You'll have to catch the sales though as they go up one day and then back on sale the next week. They also have lots more cards for cheap too.

I use 16 Gb 10 class Transcend microsd card.
Work well.

Does anybody know the read/write speed limits of our sensations?
i.e. would it make sense to buy the fastest sd card available or is an class 10 for example already faster than our phones can handle?

I think most brand would be fine. Just check the card's class rating if that's important to you. I wouldn't recommend buying one off eBay even though the prices may be cheaper there; I've heard that there are a lot of counterfeit fake SD cards being sold on eBay.

Sensation can only read the FAT32 format, the write speed is around 10MB/s, 20MB/s read
I think use USH-I is useless. I cannot use it in a high speed

The brand does matter actually. As an example, the Kingmax Class 10 performance is lower than the Sandisk Class 6 in many areas.
Sandisk 64GB MicroSDXC Class 10 Mobile Ultra is selling at about RM220 at my place which comes to about USD69. That's a pretty good price since 1 year back a 32GB card with a lower class rating cost just as much if not more. Planning to get it soon.

ADATA 16 gb class 10 microsd at meritline.com
Not sure about international, but the price is right for a class 10 card.
$12.85(USD not including shipping which I think is free in the USA) w/Code: MLC709YN For First 100 Orders
EDIT: They take international orders but they have conditions. I think they only accept paypal.

Which memory card should I choose for Galaxy S4

Hi
I want to buy a 64GB micro SD card form my Samsung Galaxy S4 (getting one next week ). I'm thinking about:
Samsung Pro (read: 70MB/sec write: 20MB/s)
SanDisk Ultra (read: 30MB/sec write: 30MB/s)
SanDisk Mobile Extreme (read: 45MB/sec write: 30MB/s)
ADATA (read: 30MB/sec write: 10MB/s)
All of them are class 10 and support UHS-1
The first three cost pretty much the same, ADATA is like 2/3 of their price.
The speeds provided are probably for sequential read/write. I don't know what it looks like in terms of random access. Does it even matter since this is only storage for data? (as far as I know Galaxy S4 doesn't allow you to install apps on SD card)
My second concern is recording videos in full hd. Will all of the cards handle it?
Finally will the phone take full advantage of the declared read/write speeds?
What is the most reasonable choice here?

Speaking from personal experience, if you read up on it you'll find a lot of S4's having difficulty with some SanDisk higher capacity cards. When my SanDisk 64 gb card failed, I replaced it with a 64 gb UHS1 Samsung card. I have not had one issue with it, where the SanDisk failed daily.

No problems after CM11 M3 Snapshot

I'm using a SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card I got on Amazon for about $50 and It's working great. I had to do a FULL format as opposed to a 'Quick Format' on a Windows PC.
Before the phone would suddenly tell me the SD card was removed when it wasn't. Now after a full format and CM11 SnapshotM3 no probs.

This card has been in my S4 since the day I got it nearly 10 months ago and it has not once failed on me.

currently with a deep discount for a card that was just released if you're willing to pay for it

earlier sandisk 64GB cards had issues (I had one). I jsut bought one last week and it's working great

I know they have just been released but are the 128GB cards compatible with the S4? Currently have a 32GB card at the moment, which is a San Disk replacement, the original one I had failed completely out of the blue a few months back and San Disk replaced under warranty, not had any problems since. Probably wouldnt have need for a 128GB card but would be tempted to upgrade to a 64GB one in a few months. Still nice to know we can expand to 128GB. Would make an even better justification of the inclusion of the sd card slot on the S4.

Hmm, this would seriously help extend the lifespan of my S4. Considering most android phones now have no sc card slot and 16/32GB tops.

uhs will work flawlessly but not at maximum performance since s4 currently only support up to class 10. would you try to bench your sd card with A1 SD Bench from playstore?
