looking to buy 16GB/32GB micro sd card. Suggestions? - EVO 4G General

Hello. So I'm looking to bump up my 8GB card in my Evo to a 16/32 GB micro sd card. I looked around on the forums and the threads I found were dated. Any suggestions as to where and at a good price? Also I live in the US. The 8GB just isn't cutting it anymore for my rooting needs.
Thanks.

I can tell you which one not to buy:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211378
lasted all of like 7 months before it took a shat
lol

Thanks. Did you buy one from someone else? I don't gave any experience dealing with memory cards.

I found a 16 on sale at Radio Shack for 34.99. Yes you can find one cheaper online but RS is safe and I saw what I was buying before I paid for it.
You have been EVOfied.

Newegg.com and search for patriot class 10 and pick the 16 or 32

I bought a san disk 16g class 4 for $25 shipped thru amazon.com. very happy as my stock card was an 8g cls 4 san disk.

How'd you get a class 4 as stock? Mine wasn't as polite, was a class 2... (definitely need to upgrade that eventually, nandroids are wiping out what little space I have)

This was $35 a week or two ago. I think it's still $35 at amazon.

Great value compared to the 32gb.

I searched google and got the Lexar 32Gig class 10 for $88,
Works great!!!

That's a good price, who from?

If you have a micro center near you then you can pick up their store brand that 16gb for 25. It's labeled class 2 but all 4 of the cards I bought do 6 write and 13 read.

I made a thread recently for this in the ACCESSORIES section - take a look - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943469

I got those too, but I only get 4 write and 11 read. Still great store branded cards.

whats up everyone. I just updated my card to a patriot 32g class 10 ($90) and these are the results i got read-18mb/write-11mb

I just purchased a Kingmax 16gb class 10 from Amazon for $35 and it seems to work well with 18mb read and 11mb writes.

I got the same card also, but I questioned the performance of mine. Its testing the same as my 16gb class2 no matter which read-ahead value I set.
What kind of speeds are you seeing with yours? I wonder if I should RMA mine.

Linky for the Kingmax 16gb class 10 card I have, but the price is now $49. Either it changed or I remembered it wrong.

Please post which you end up going with and how you like it. I am also going to be looking for a new card for my phone in the next month or so and am interested in which you choose.

That's how much I paid for mine from amazon, i ordered it monday.
newegg.com has an 8gig for cheaper.
I bought an 8GB MicroSDHC class 4 off of Amazon a few weeks ago for $28USD.
oh well i have a 2gig and was about to buy a 4 gig but i dont think i need it..... =\
Shipping included?
Be careful Buying cheap SD Cards. They could be counterfeit from an unreputable dealer.
Like they always say, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."
New egg has an A-DATA 16GB Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash Card Model TurboSD SDHC 16G for US$43.99 plus shipping.
I agree with Jimmy, but personally am running an A-data now. There is a review on the newegg site where a customer claims to have had 3 of these and 2 reported as Class-6 and one as Class-2. He says he RMA'ed the class 2 and got the other class 6.
I went ahead and grabbed one to check it out in my kaiser, no idea what I will ever store on it frankly. I can't fill up a 4gig now, or maybe I should say yet!

I checked out that card. It looks like a standard size SDHC card, rather than the MicroSDHC that the Kaiser uses. How are you going to try it with your Kaiser?

Once Again I don't want to sound like I wear a tin foil hat. But I do computers for a hobby, a first, and a second job. I've seen LOTS of counterfeit stuff technology-wise out there.
eBay is the worst offender!
I find that New-egg Is pretty good, they let my RMA if I have issues. Amazon as well, depending on the "seller." My top three: Amazon Direct, Adorama, and J&R Music/Computer World.

Cause it was 420 and I didn't read close enough, LOL. So scratch that I am going to use it in my camera. LOL
I have an 8 Gig which I purchased when they were still around $70 USD. I have mine pretty full with movies and music. I was away on business this past week and the music came in handy. I did notice that my 700 meg Divx movies stutter some and will need to go back to the 200-300 Mb movie size. I have never had problems with NewEgg. BTW - Segeway - Just purchased a Colby 7" DVD player which has both SD and USB ports on it. I was able to play the DiVx movies I have on my MicroSD card. They did not stutter on the Player. The player is a good deal right now for around 100 USD.
I got mine at Microcenter
4GB - $19.99
8GB - $49.99
I bought an 8gb microsdhc from newegg.com for under $30. Class 6
i just stole my 8gb from someone else..
(just kidding folks!)
tvos

is there any class4 16gb microsd?

I'm currently using a class-4 6gb microsd from sandisk, serial number checked at site and its genuine
All 16gb microsd I can find in ebay is class-2, will I feel the difference or its not a big deal?
I've been doing some searching also and all I can find is class 2 on a 16 gb card. Suchas:
http://www.supermediastore.com/sandisk-class-2-16gb-micro-sd-sdhc-transflash-memory-card-only.html
Actually on their Website Scandisk only shows this one 16 gb card at all:
http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(2702)-SDSDQ-016G-A11M-SanDisk_microSDHC_16GB_Card.aspx
I've been having this exact same experience. Has the classification scheme changed or something? Why would Sandisk stop selling their fastest cards?
Adata has one- i actually have it. Its a "Turbo" class 6 16 gig micro.
here is an Amazon link.
http://www.amazon.com/DATA-microSDHC-Memory-Adapter-AUSDH16GCL6-RA1/dp/B001VLIVEE
I got mine for around $50, but you have to watch for the sales.
Hope this helps
SS
Thanks for your helpful response! This is exactly what I need.
I still don't understand why Sandisk no longer sells Class 4 and 6 micro SD cards, but I guess it's their loss: I'll be buying this A-Data one.
Thanks again!

RE 16gb class 4 cards
Hiya,
Thats very unusual, i am sure Sandisk does a class 4 card.
I've only just recently got my hands on a SanDisk Mobile Ultra(TM) 16GB card, its got a number 4 symbol embossed onto the outer packaging of the chip! Defo not a 2, unless i've been had! lol
Comes with an excellent guarantee.
I hope this is of use. :-D
Easy enough to find on amazon.
Question for some techy------>
For class 6 to work does the host device need to support it to achieve the improved transfer/read/write data rates? Would love a Class 6 SDHC.

Best SD Card for Xoom?

I read everywhere to get Class 6+, but I can't find any on Newegg that have decent reviews.
I want 32 gig but if I have to get 16gig to get class 6+ I will.
What does everyone else use or reccomend?
Sandisk cards always seem to be the best for me.

I got a Patriot class 10 32 GB card in the Xoom now - I have the one pgwipeout linked to in his post in my Droid X. Both are good. Only changed up because it was out of stock when i went to order another.
Here's the link to the Patriot:

the patriot class 10 has horrid reviews on newegg. I want the Lexas 32gb class 10 but cant find it anywhere that takes paypal except ebay and they are all in honk kong
I've not had any trouble with mine - yet.

Exactly. and if "speed" is a problem buy (2) 16 GB ones and walk away when the other one is loading.
Lexar class 10 32 GB works great.
(edit: nevermind, found answer)
But it`s possible to use this card in the xoom?
I'm using a A-Data 16gb Class6 card and it works great.
I've got a Wintec Class 10 - 32Gb... I bought it from newegg about a month ago... About $82 + shipping... It's been running great...

? They've gone on sale plenty of times for 70-80. Which off the suggested retail is about the same as the 64gb cards in terms of %. Will be a lot easier after best buy stocks these in brick and mortar stores to get one super cheap.
Edit: meaning even cheaper in terms of rewards and whatnot
Is there a good App which can tell you what Class of SD Card you have installed? And, compare it to benchmarks of others? I'm curious how mine stacks up. I've been running a 64gb SanDisk for almost two years. It's really stable. Wondering how it stacks up to others though. I'm not sure of the Class.
