In all the forums I read they tell how the Sandisk Class 4 is the best microsd for booting roms from SD.
However, I can't find any in Amazon , Newegg or even the Sandisk site!
Can someone tell me where can I find these online?
Just bought their 32G Class 4 Sandisk - not here yet - hoping for continued great performance.
Well, I bought mine in person, but microcenter sells them. The item listing says class 2, but the UPC matches my packaging and it's a class 4.

Radioshack.com (and stores) have a sale until May 21 for Sandisk uSD cards atm, $18 for 8GB class 4 and $30 for 16GB class 4. I found mine cheaper in store $25 @ local Radioshack. They are also selling class 2s for the same price to check the model # closely to make sure you're getting the right one, if you are buyin it from Radioshack.
They are all over Ebay for 12 bucks!
I found them in ebay and Amazon sold by a store called "Anything but Stromboli". Apparently despite the weird name they specialize in mobile media. Looks like they have very good feedback so we'll see how it goes.
Sandisk 8gb Clas 4 is $15.
With the exception of a few duds, most class 2 and unclassed Sandisk 8/16GB cards have also been found to perform well. The 16GB I picked up at Radioshack has no class rating.

I've been running CM7 off a 4GB Class 2 Sandisk. It's been working great.

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

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.

I bought this memory card a couple months back for the same price at radio shack, works great. If you go on scandisk's website and look at their reviews a lot of them are complaining of problems with the Touch Pro. Mine has worked flawlessly and for 20 dollars you really can't beat it.
Newegg.com has a Transcend 8gb micro sdhc with adapter for $12.99
This is the one that I have
EDIT: They don't have this price anymore. When I bought it, it was $13, but it seems that they have raised the price to $17.49. It seems a little weird.
$17.29
I just ordered a hand full of these at $16.97 I was looking to order a few more and they went up a few cents but oh well, its free shipping and I got mine within 3 days! Thats the fastest I have received memory with free shipping off of ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sandisk-8GB-Mic...3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:4|65:1|39:1|240:1318
great deal!!
When I purchased my htc fuze back in February, I insisted on buying all the accessories because I received half off all accessories. I even bought the screen protectors for the Iphone and had the customer representative cut them to fit my phone. Then I asked, have I bought all everything for this phone and he goes in the back and pulls out the price guide for the memory cards. I told him, my brother works for microcenter so I don't need any, but he looked up the price anyway. The 8 gig was 80 bucks and I started toward the door, then he shouted wait, I can discount it for 40 and you get half off.... that's how i ended up with my 8-gig san disk microsdhc flash card for 20.00
Just dont buy Adata ones even if they are cheap. I have Transcend one from Newegg and it works fine

I second this, Adata is my first broken flash card and I have bought some unnamed brand.
A-Data or Transflash Class 6 is faster than Class 2 of the SanDust
I bought three 8GB sandisk class 2, one for me and the other for my two brothers :]. i hope it works!!
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.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...e=patriot_microsd_16gb-_-20-220-546-_-Product
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.
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...

Hello everyone, I was wondering what kind of SD card I need to buy for my phone. I'm talking to tech support, and the guy I'm talking to didn't even know there were different classes of SD cards. I'm currently on hold right now. I want to upgrade to a 32gb. Does anyone know how a class 10 works in the DX?
I her class 10s have trouble. Class 4 is the safe bet.
Damn that sucks. What about a class 6? Do those work good on the DX? Do I have to get Sandisk, or will another brand work? I had problems with another phone not liking another brand, but I don't remember which brand it was. Thanks!
I'm looking online, and it's hard to find a class 6 32gb. It's much easier to find a class 10 32gb..
Get whatever class you want. Class ratings are sort of a hoax, anyways; some class 6s outperform some class 10s, and some class 4s outperform some class 6s; seriously. You should just buy a 32GB Sandisk, as they make the best flash memory in existence. PNY and (surprisingly) Transcend also make good flash memory. The only thing to make sure of is that it's a MICRO SDHC card. Micro being the key word. A faster class from one of those better brands is nice, but it's more important to get a good brand when it comes to flash memory than a faster class.
Be sure to buy from a reputable seller. I bought a kingston 32GB class 4 from a new amazon dealer last Dec and received a fake class 6 card. Amazon had my back with their A-Z guarantee but it was inconvenient enough for me to make all future memory purchases from well established places such as direct from the manufacturers, newegg, even brick and mortar stores.

Definitely make sure to buy one from a reputable seller and some sort of brand you are comfortable with. I have heard horror stories about people buying supposed 32gb class 10 sd cards off ebay and them only being 2gb or craping out after 2 weeks. Not worth the worry or hassle

Thanks. I got a Sandisk class 4 32gb card from Amazon for about $70 with 3 day shipping. Got it in the mail yesterday. Works great! I heard class 10 cards don't work well in phones. This class 4 is a lot quicker than the class 2 that came with the phone..
