What memorycard is to prefer?

Hi all!
What memorycard is to prefer?
I know it is microSD, but there's so many different microSD's out there so how will I know which one to choose? (classes, speed a.s.o.)
If we don't care about memory size (4-8-16GB) what is the very best to use?
Best memory?
Best memory/$?
What memory NOT to use?

I picked up an A-DATA 8gb Class 6 microsd card (US$35) to use once I get the Touch Pro. I haven't used it yet, but I also have the 4gb version (US$15) which works great.

DO NOT BUY.
That's SDHC, not MicroSDHC...
32 gig Micros aren't available yet.

This is a totally personal opinion. You will find that among us professional geeks, we have brand preference.
When It comes to Solid State Media, I always pay a little more the get a SanDisk item from a reputable dealer.
Every Card CF or SD or my MicroSD, has been SanDisk Manufactured and I've never been disappointed.

OK guys, thx for your input!
@JimmyMcGee: Yeah, I too has allways payed a little extra when choosing between some things, in most cases it's clearly that you get what you payed for, I mean, even if you look beyond brand names a.s.o. there often is a difference between the cheap and the more expensive ones.
But my reson for this Q was foremost to clarify the speed and class issue, is someone better then the other, so except brand, what more do I need to consider?

I bought a Scandisk 8gb. Play.com have them for £16.99 with free delivery.
I found this after i ordered the same from mobymemory which was more expensive.

I am also looking for a microSD card for my future friend Raphael.
I want the fastest 8 GB MicroSD card available that can be used in Raphael. €10 more or less, I dont care but I dont want to pay for overkilling the spec.
What MicroSD do you recommend, if not this one that I have found:
SanDisk Mobile Ultra 8GB microSDHC
http://www.i4u.com/full-review-447.html
Would it work fine in a Raphael?
Have anyone used it in an other HTC?

Simple:
Dont buy a memory that don't have "C" logo with class number in it.
If it doesn' have it, there's probably nothing to be proud of.
Currently you can get a decent-prized "class 6" memory with 4 GB or 8 GB capacity.
Class 6 is faster than Class 2 and Class 4 of course.
Cheers,

bought a sandisk 8gb microsd sdhc card .. 7700 mb free
they sell it at mediamarkt for 40€
@corsa2: this is probably the same card it is pretty fast and works fine as these are designed for mobile phones

Just buy a SanDisk. Work out how much memory you are likely to need - get a card with more than you require and MAKE SURE ITS A SANDISK! this will avoid fighting for refunds, hours trying to reformat, burnt dinners cause you are engrossed in the problem, angry women who just don’t understand why you don’t pay them any attention anymore, females who fight back when you loose you temper cause your new "good value" f'n card has failed and you refuse to accept the fact - BUY A SANDISK... I don’t work for SanDisk but they do work for me and will probably work for you…
Just bought a Touch Pro... will update my sig when I've decided which ROM to install...
Rgs,

SanDisk Mobile Ultra 8GB is superb!
Bought this one for my MDA Vario IV (T-Mobile branded HTC Touch Pro) for 40 euro at the Phone House (Netherlands). This class 6 micro SDHC was 10 euro more expensive than a class 4 device, but worth every cent!!
I've used several brands micro SDHC cards, but i'll stick to SanDisk now, maybe more expensive but reliable: no issues at all for about 3 years of use in my PPC's.

I don't have a Touch Pro yet (that will change in around 3-4 days though), but I do have a Sandisk 8 Gb class 4 card, which is very good but unfortunately isn't sold anymore, now there's only class 2 and 6 (which is extremely expensive).
I tested it with H2testw and got the following results:
Test finished without errors.
You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.
Writing speed: 11.4 MByte/s
Reading speed: 16.8 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4
I was wondering if anyone with a class 6 card could do the same test?

Hello there, just bought a PNY Micro SDHC Premium 8 Go ... but it's not recognize by the phone ... do you think that it can be solve by a Rom update ?

Format Your Storage Card

There are a number of dependable cards out there. Amazon has user feedback on each of their cards which can be useful to help you decide which card is best for you. Which ever card you chose, make sure you format it before you use it. Put the card into a card reader and format it FAT32 on your computer at least once. The ROM should not be a factor in you device reading your card, FORMAT the card...David.

Ok thx for the information
Formating was the first thing I did after trying it in the phone ... but didn't help
I bought the PNY because It's suppose to be a good brand, and never thought it would not work with my phone
Guess I gona have to buy an other one
Thx

I bought a 16gb Toshiba MicroSDHC card yesterday for $50. So far so good--I put it in and it has been working flawlessly. Hope I'm not jinxing myself! lol

IMHO I don't think it really matters but I have always used Sandisk and have been quite happy.....

i use a-data since i find it to be the cheapest. i've used 4 and still use them. no data loss or failure yet. oh and i just ordered another just for my fuze. 8gb ($18 shipped)

Maximum GB that works smoothly in Elf..

Hey guys, I tried to search about this topic in the forum but I don'y anything about it or was it just already in pit of the forum?
Anyways, I would like to ask the maximum capacity of memory card for Elf(in)? I am planning to buy a micro-sd and I just want to buy the best available.
Does it support SDHC memory cards? And also, does using a large GB of memory presents a risk on my device to be brick when time goes on?
Thanks for the help guys!

I have 4gb micro sdhc and it works fine. I have heard that 8GB won't function properly after a while. But I am not a genius

SanDisk 8GB
I've been working with a SanDisk 8GB MicroSD HC for about 4 months now, and still have had no issues...
And that goes without saying that I think It's a fake SanDisk, because of the packaging.

Have an 8GB SanDisk on my Elfin. Works great.

@vette95: Good to hear that! Thanks for responding..
@htedum: how long have you bean using your 8gb micro-sd? Haven't experienced any problem yet? Any slow down or hangs?

i've been using 8gb in my elf for over a year and did not ever have any issues or hangs so i would recommend it.
just my 2 cents

Wow! Thanks bro for the feedback! Will buy 8gb now.. hehe..

Been using it for two weeks now; no problems at all. I've overclocked to 273 using HomeScreen, maybe that helps. Loaded up 6G worth of music and 1G worth of movies. Installed PocketPlayer (and TCPMP for movies), and I have a slick, portable media player. Battery life isn't bad at all, but I've ordered a 2500mAh replacement, waiting for that to come in.
A tip - be sure to pick up an original, name-brand card, even if you have to pay more. A lot of fakes going around, they may slow down your phone.
@vette95: No problems with your fake?

I've been searching google how to detect fake micro-sd but unfortunately the only info I got was to make sure the serial of the memory is readable and also try to call on the manufacturer and confirm the serial. Of course, I cannot do that when I am in the store, to check each items and call them. LOL. So do you know other ways how to know it if it is genuine?

The best bet would be to avoid ebay and the like; that's where most of them are floating around. Since you're buying retail, you should be pretty safe, since you can go right back to the store if you discover that it's fake.
From what I've read, there's also the issue of classes; best pick up class 6 or at least class 4. Class 2 will be slow.

Also check the packaging. Check if the fonts are printed alright and not fading or anything.

I have already bought a 4gb sdhc class 6 kingston micro-sd. There is no 8gb available in store so I decided to just go with 4gb and just upgrade when I need it. It was fast and I guest it is not fake(though I'm not sure). Thanks for the advice guys. I hope this will also be helpful for people who are planning to upgrade memory.
As far as I know, Transcend and Sandisk are the brands that are flooding in the market which are fake so I really looked for other brand. Fortunately I found one and it is made in Japan(the fakes are made in China written at the back of this brands) so I'm little confident with the memory I bought. hehe..

ive been using an 8gb card too for awhile now on my elfin. just got my 16gb card last month and havent had a problem yet. everything runs very smoothly.

i have 8GB V-gen and running well until now...

8gb
i´ve used a 8gb sdhc since a month without problems...it runs smoothly...

I bought a 16 gb sandisk sdhc. It didn't even register regardless of what drivers I installed on my phone.

I'm looking for a Sandisk 8GB MicroSDHC Class4. Any Idea where?

At the moment I'm using a Kingston 8GB MicroSDHC Class 4 and let me tell you; IT SUCKS.
The speed it horrible comparing to my Sandisk 2GB Class 2.
Therefore I would like to get a Sandisk instead. They are pretty cheap these days online. Amazon is selling a Sandisk 8GB class4 for only $16 + shipping. However I'm from Canada, shipping is a monster. On Ebay, most of them are fake and not even Class 4. So do you guys have any suggestion for me on where to buy a "Real" Sandisk 8GB class 4? (well, no need to be Real, as long as it's fast)

I'm not sure about the sandisk class 4 I would try perhaps Amazon.com on that. But as for Micro SDHC cards go this is by far the best card for the price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208453 Just in case you are wondering it is a class 6 and I have this card personally and can verify that it operates at the class 6 specs.

Amazon.com and newegg.com doesn't ship microsd card to Canada.
As stupid as it sounds, newegg.ca doesn't have any 8GB microSD other than from A-Data... and I had really bad experience with that company.

That's strange that they won't ship them to Canada, but anyways I have used A-DATA for many years now and I have never had a bad experience possibly you just happend to get a bad product which unfortunately happens sometimes. I suggest A-DATA to lots of people and trust them myself so it might not hurt to try them again. Just my thoughts (man I feel like an A-DATA spokesperson LOL)
Edit: Just checked newegg.ca and found http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208453 which is the exact card I recommended.

Have you ever use Transcend card?

Yes I as previously stated I have that exact card and have been very happy with it. I also have 4GB of their ram in the very computer I am typing this with. For more info on them check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcend and make note of the quote "On September 2008, IDC India reported that Transcend ranked number 1 in sales of flash memory products, including USB flash drives and flash cards, in 2007, beating Kingston and SanDisk[2]."

Hey, if you have the same card, can you do me a favor and time how fast can a Class card transfer 1gb file?
This is insane... their shipping rate is $13 and Handling $3

I get about 6MBs write and between 9-10MBs read I just wrote a 1GB dummy file to it and about 3.5-4 mins. But that was with a card reader that support class 6 cards so results may vary on that expect them to be lower in the phone through usb.

My Kingston 8Gb Class 4 take about 4min to transfer 1GB as well. I find it slow. When I did a benchmark using PocketMechanics, the write speed is only 2MBs. That's why i'm returning it. Now that you're telling me it take you 3.5-4mins, I think my card is not that bad, then.
When you said 6MBs write, how did you test it?

The program I tested it with is listed there and I just took the averages sometimes it is higher very rarely is it any lower.

find a friend who works at futureshop or bestbuy and get them to buy you one. their employee's discount is sick.
Or, if you're in vancouver, check http://www.ncix.com. they sometimes have good deals. best of all, staples are sometimes willing to pricematch/beat them

Rank in sales means nothing if you're looking for quality. 90% or more of the time the top name in sales is NOT the best quality, just the best value. Sandisk is definitely better quality.

Sandisk 16gb Class 4 card problems

Hi, I just for the 16gb sandisk card that was on sale at newegg and my G2 is having problems dectecting it.
I know android has problems with class10 cards so I bought the class 4 one.
when i plug in the card and start up the phone sometimes it say the SD card is blank.
also while im using the phone the sd card will say it unmounted or the android files in the card will turn into weird icons.
does anyone have this problem too?
I formatted it to Fat 32 many times.

i bought the same card on newegg. Although i haven't had the chance to use it yet, i was just gonna format it and copy the whole of my previous SD to it. Does your card work on any other device? if not might need to RMA

No i haven't had time to try it on my other phones yet.
I had to Clone the old card to the new card and so far no problems.

so problem solved?

I think so.
I couldn't just drag the files over.

They may or may not work okay. But Class 10 cards seem to cause more problems than lower class cards, based on user posts here. Plus, the extra expense doesn't seem justified, as you will not see much if any performance gain.

Since I'm in school, I got a lot of problems with sandisk product. (stop working without a sing, corrupt, takes days to boot).
For my usb flash drives I use patriot now. Never got problems, especially with the little 8gb usb key. Excellent reviews on newegg.
I bought class 10 16 gb micro usb patriot. Run some bench marks, average 11 mb/s writing. Since 5 months, lot of testing roms and watching videos, no problem yet.
Be careful with bad reviews because some people runs day long benchmarks. It kills flash memory.

Does Sandisk work better if you're not in school
Odd. Was it a genuine Sandisk product, purchased from a reliable source (like Newegg). Because there are a heck of a lot of Sandisk counterfeits on places like eBay. Sandisk and Kingston are probably the most counterfeited brands of flash memory. On the other hand, its just possible you had a defective unit. Its impossible for even the most reliable electronics manufacturer to be 100% free of defective units.
I've used 3 different Sandisk Micro-SD cards in my smartphones and tablet, one of them is almost 4 years old. Only had a problem once, and a format fixed it right up. Also used Sandisk SD and CF cards in my cameras for years, without issue.

Today my Transcend 16gb class 10 arrived and I installed in my DZ.

Happens to me about every other week. My Sandisk 16gb class 4 card is from my local Radio Shack, so I doubt it's fake. Perhaps some G2's don't like class 4 cards? When it happens to me, I see that message when I get up in the morning.

Need SD card suggestion

What is the largest, fastest and most budget-minded SD card I can get for this device, preferably off of NewEgg...

I can't remember if the largest "recommended" size is 16gig or 32, but get a class 10. Also, don't go to New Egg, go to Meritline.com, much cheaper on the micro SD cards, and problably even cheaper elsewhere.

So always get class 10 for mobile devices? I'm not looking for a recommended size, I want the maximum size.

Also, NewEgg has class 10's for way cheaper than the site you mentioned.

I could be wrong, but I just thought the class indicated the speed of data transfer, so I've always gone for class 10. And yeah, I never noticed the price gap being so marginal on class 10 cards between New Egg and Merit Line. I've always used Merit Line for any media related purchases. Monoprice for anything cable related (I will slap anyone in the throat I meet face to face who spends $60 on a 6 foot "Monster" HDMI cable at Best Buy), and then NewEgg for everything else.

Gotcha. What brands should I stay away from? What ones should I strongly consider?
Will a 32GB card work on this device?

I used a 16gb, but I cannot remember what the manual said would be supported. However, I thin microSD only goes to 32, I'd wait for someone else to chime in to see if they use a 32gb without issue. I've never paid attention to brand, and it's worked out for me.

How long have you used this card?

I'm using a Duracell 16GB Class 6 and it works wonders. Only cost me $25 from a brick and mortar store too, which isn't too bad. You won't notice a significant difference between class 6 and class 10 on any Android device, so personally I wouldn't bother with the added cost of a class 10 card.

I've been using it since the end of July. I've got multiple backups on it as well as movies, music, etc.
Jeff.

I am using:
WINTEC FileMate 16GB Mobile Professional Class 10 microSDHC Card with SDHC Adapter
available at Newegg only 19.99...get a couple!!

@jlary - +1 on the AData 32gb micro sd card. Bought my A500 in May and same day ordered sd card from the Egg. Has worked flawlessly ever since including all my attempts to brick my A500 lol. Got all my movies and music and pictures on it plus backups and roms.

I'm using a 32 GB in mine. I'm not sure of the brand, but it is Class 10 and it works well. (I keep my movie files on it and play them from there.)

I also have a adata micro SD card I got from newegg stressed to full and it did not fail been working for three to four months

+1 for ADATA. I use a 16GB class 10 and I am pretty pleased with the performance.
