I'm looking to get a new micro sd card, as my 8gb is out of room and frequently unmounts or goes read-only on my mobile. Im wondering where to get one and what kind of 16gb sd card I should get as after looking on ebay its a bit hard to tell what is fake and what isnt and I dont know any other stores that sell them..
Preferably class4+ and size 16gb
I live in australia by the way..
There is a guy selling some in the market here for $20, legit.
But I think there class 4 cards.
And this is the one thing that I wouldn't trust ebay with because there are so many fakes.

Wow nice, if only I lived in canada...
Do you know of a legitimate online store that sells them? I remember a thread that had good quality ones but I forgot the name of it and at the time they were out of stock..
Actually the guy selling them lives in the states.
Hi,
I had the same problem with the sporadically unmounts (sometimes several times a day) so I decided to buy a different card. I bought a class 4 Kingston 16GB sdhc on eBay. I paid in Germany about 29 Euro for it.
Now there are no more problems with the storage. I hope I could help you.

I've just ordered Patriot 16gb Class 10 through Amazon, it costs 30++ USD without shipping (considered very cheap for class 10 and it has quite a good review from users).

I'm using a Kingston 16GB class 4 card bought from Amazon, in my honest opinion I think that class 10 is much of a muchness and the price difference can be vast.
I would not buy from Ebay, chances of getting a fake is much higher here, rather use Amazon or some other reputable seller.
What is the cluster size did you format.
I got a few off ebay. They start low, around 1$ and go up, i got one for 11$ before.
i SO need to get me a bigger sd card!
Hey guys, I searched but didn't see this in the Epic forums. Wanted to get it posted asap because it made the front page of slickdeals not too long ago so it could sell out before long.
Amazon has a 32gb Lexar Class 10 microSD with a card reader for $47 and free shipping. It is sold by Tiger Direct through Amazon. Alternatively, you can go straight to Tiger Direct's website to purchase it for the same price.
*** 11/11/11 Update - Deal is dead through Amazon currently but I checked the Tiger Direct link and it still has the $47.99 price.
*** 12/16/11 Update - Amazon currently has this for $40.77 with Prime Eligibility and Tiger Direct has it for $69.99 - $30.00 Instant Savings = $39.99. Shipping shows up at $2.70 for me bringing the total to $42.69 through TD (YMMV).

Great Deal...Just Got Mine!! Different Brand,etc. For 41 plus tax, sold out quick.

Great deal, just bought a Class 4 Sandisk 32GB recently for like $36 so this is priced about right
And I assume from the response that the Epic will recognize and fully utilize a 32 GB card?

Isn't the read/write speed on these phones capped, so would it even really make a difference if I got the Class 4 vs the Class 10. No point in spending another $11 if I don't have to.
I've got my eye on a Patriot and a PNY 32gb for about the same price, just caught up in which brand has a better reputation.

I've bought memory sticks from both and haven't had any of them die. Both are great.
32 GB cards
Are these cards coming down in price finally. I looked a while back and they were 100 or more. Also are these the true 32 gig cards(been burned a few times from ebay, even a local seller). I want to find one of these to go along with my extended battery(take that Iphone.)

I have as well, and both make reliable devices. I'm leaning towards the Patriot because all my Patriot USB drives are blazing fast, whereas my PNY drives are just eh on speed.
Thanks for posting.

Deal is back and better than it was previously. 7 bucks cheaper I think.
I bought this card when I posted the OP and have been using it ever since. I have had no problems with it at all and I'm thinking I might get another one for my Nook Color.
If there's a speed difference on the laptop that makes backing up your SD way less painfully long.
Read the reviews in the Amazon link? A few people complained of corruption and dead cards within weeks or months of purchase. This worries me a bit.

I found out about two weeks ago there was a 128 gb micro sd out, and it was going for $200, but if you pre ordered it with Amazon you only paid $119.00, but you had to wait 4-6 weeks for it to be sent to you. I didn't have the extra funds in my account to get this.
So i said to myself i'll wait, and get it when i have to extra cash to spend. Now that i have it, Amazon is no longer selling it at that price.
here's why on the bottom of of the amazon page.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...d=&coliid=&condition=new&me=&qid=&seller=&sr=
But i found this on Newegg and i wonder if it's, because i can't find this product on the web.
But if it is, it's only $69.95 with extras....Please reply and help me make a choice.

Here are my rules with buying flash:
1) "never buy flash sd or micro sd from online retailer. Period!
2) only buy flash sd or micro sd from a store with an excellent return policy such as bestbuy or futureshop.
Yes you'll pay premium dollar but the reality is there are fake memory cards everywhere and the retalers don't even know they are selling it and if they don't even know they are selling it, good luck proving it!
Also 69 is way too good to be true! you need at least clash 10 on android and and heck Sandisk is the only memory card manufacturer that has proven their use on android, if it not Sandisk, forget about it!
I hate fake memory cards, worst thing about them is how much time you invest in trying to fix them! You spend the first week in denial that you could possibly been sold a fake memory card and spend all this time formatting and re-formatting them with different applications and operating systems, try different roms, different kernel combinations, posting help because your rom is acting buggy, lose data? and all the while reason for all your woes has been due to using a fake memory card.
Very probably fake, i was buying mine twp months ago and the one with the largest storage was 64 gb. More than enough for 99% of uses.
That wouldn't even work for our phone. You going to use it on the Find 7 or something?

Works just fine, as has been shown numerous times. At the moment the specsheet for the S4 was made there were no 128GB cards.
So I assume you just looked at the specs to get that (wrong) assumption?

128GB SD cards will work with our phones with a SD to MicroSD adapter. i use one now.
in fact it will go up to 256GB
NOTE must be formatted to Fat32 to best compatability, also depending on your kernel.
Sandisk are making some (soon) though?
The 128GB card works on the S4, even though I have mine in my Note 3.

I believe he was talking about the Samsung from Newegg. This is definitely fake. As said before, anything above 32GB is SDXC, not SDHC like in the picture. Also Samsung has not yet releases 128GB. Also, look at the picture. "12" is of a different font /size than "8". The reviews for the seller "Redtagonline" has 2 stars out of 5. Just preorder from Amazon. Make sure you format it as either Fat32, or eXFat if your Kernel supports exFat

I have the Sandisk 128gb from Amazon in my S4, it works great without problem.
The micro sd to SD card adapter that comes with the micro SD did not work with either PC or Mac, so I had to plug my card into my card reader instead, which worked fine.

Good call, was going to recommend 7day also! :highfive:
Their 64GB micro sdcard is only £22, but out of stock at the moment, their 32GB card is also reasonable at £13.
I would only buy a card on Amazon if it was "SOLD" and "FULFILLED" by Amazon.
I would not buy one that was only fulfilled by Amazon.
Never from eBAY.

local stores are best. However they don't have all sd cards you can find on the internet, but they have class 10, 6, 4 and 2 sd cards.
I have bought a class 6 16gb for 20 euro, samsung mark, never had problems with it. Only one time the partition was damaged (RAW partition), fortunately I could recover my data with TestDisk
I bought this one (32GB) a week ago and it's working great with a one year warranty. Also available in other sizes in this same link. Plus it's inexpensive and brand name. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FIYF0OE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hi
I bought a samsung pro 64gb sdxc from ebay member ''evelectron_tech''
Seems to be good store but will see.
I bought a 64GB on amazon through a partner and was burned with an 8GB fake. Even if the card "works" you need to fill it up AND test the files to see if it works. Amazon did refund promptly and I settled on a more reputable seller on Amazon (SoCal Trade). Reviews are your friend, and if it's too new to have any reviews, avoid.
Go to bestbuy and for a few dollars more you can get the sandisk 128gb which is out now. Works beautifully on our S4

How much is the 128GB one?
I got mine for 115.
I recommend
Samsung Electronics 16/32/64GB EVO Micro SDHC 48MB/s Class 10 Memory Card (MB-MP32DA/AM)
I'd get this one:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/con...CKqu_TXKRWJYG1hoCet3w_wcB&Q=&is=REG&A=details
they've got that car in stock cheaper than anywhere and have close to 160,000 positive feedback left and 5 stars. That's a LOT of positive feedback
They're B&H Photography, you can see em on this list:
https://www.google.com/shopping/pro...3&sa=X&ei=TvPJU7DoENK7oQT_u4GIDw&ved=0CFwQ6SQ
but that is the fastest microSD in the world. 50% faster than Sandisk's next fastest. It's likely my next one. Consistent speed of 45 read and write. with bursts of 80 reading, 50 writing

I second this... bought the same one. Works well
apparently Toshiba released a competition-destroying MicroSD. So far all I can see is it appears to be called simply UHS-II. While every other of the top MicroSD cards are UHS-I, this one easily deserves the UHS-II designation. While the previous Title-holders were just shy of 50MB/s. This one in it's 32GB form is 260MB/s read and 240MB/s write. The 64, while significantly slower, is still much faster than the rest, reading at 145MB/s and writing at 130MB/s. Quite impressive. But I can't find a model $ or anywhere selling it
but here's the report on it:
