Lexar has good ones but they are $100 but are class 10.

I found a class 10 for 75, think uma try it out on my phone and if its good um getting one for the Xoom. Hopefully we get sd card support soon.

A friend of mine just got one off eBay and it was actually a 2gb with a 3 stamped on it. The card read as a 32 then only held 2. The seller played dumb and my friend got a refund less shipping and handling.

Wow, at least he got a refund. So they are stamping 3's on 2 gb cards and calling them 32? What's the point of that when there's a huge difference in storage? Most people get 32 cards because they need the space. Ill be testing mines as soon as it gets here.

Because people will buy them. I recommand only getting from a known retailer. There are tons of fakes on eBay.

I can attest to this. I stupidly did the same thing, fully aware that scamming was going on but thought I might get lucky. Anyway, I managed to get a full refund including postage but it'll be the last time I buy a card from an unknown seller.

Why don't you wait until the SD card slot is enabled on the Xoom before buying it since the price will probably go down by then.

I recently got a 16GB Class 6 from Ebay for my phone and it turned out it was corrupt and then when I looked at the Kingston site, they didn't manufacture any class 6 cards, only 4 and 10...
from memory when reading around the site I've seen recommendations for SanDisk/ADATA cards...
any more recommendations on good manufacturers?

The only time I got screwed was when I bought a 2GB SD card on eBay but it turned out to be only 1GB. They even fake the labels so from now on it's only amazon or NewEgg for me! I have ADATA, SanDisk, and Transcend microSD cards and they work just fine with the Nook Color.

Through my channels the only decent 32 GB cards I found were through Lexar, class 10. I should receive a pair of them today, they were $97 via CDW.
There were other 32 gig cards, but class 2/4 and nearly the same price.

New Lexar card is working in my EVO, loaded it up with all the data off of the previous 16 GB card I had before. Looking forward to using the SD card slot in the Xoom as soon as it is enabled.

Lexar? I'll look into that, I have a good one now from Memorette. It's been awesome this past week.

Why don't we use sandisk since all manufacturers seem to supply our phones with sandisk card. I mean, it's better than risking and waiting. The they're roughly the same price anyways

i only use Sandisk. Lexar is not a brand i would use personally.
i plan to get it direct from verizon with my 25% discount. they are more expensive at VZW but they are guaranteed the real deal and no issues. plus verizon have local stores so i can get support locally should anything go wrong.

Check Craigslist in your area - friend of mine was able to pick one up for $75 recently.

I'm an Audio Visual Technician and always have to purchase SD cards for clients when doing digital recording...A while ago I had purchase 3 Sandisk 32GB Micro SDs for cost price ($85 w/free shipping) along with 3 Sandisk CF 16GB Extreme IVs for my Canon 5D Mark2 at $150 a piece...
never had any problems with any Sandisk products so I tend to stick to them...but it always comes down to personal preference in the end...that's why we all got the XOOM instead of the [email protected]

Why not? I have personally used Sandisk, Kingston, Lexar, and I'm sure a few other major brands, and have not noticed a difference between them during use.
I have found them to be equally reliable, assuming you are purchasing them from a reputable supplier.

Question regarding sd card types

Getting ready to deploy for the year and I'm going to stock up on some extra sd cards, but i can't seem to find anywhere that states what class sd cards are compatible. Any help would be appreciated.

I've got a PNY class 10 16GB in my A500. Seems to work fine for me.

Just to be on the cautious side I'm sticking with class 4 Sandisk 16Gb for now.

I think all the micro sdhc cards up to 32g are compatible. I had a problem with a class 10 card I bought, but fry's replaced it without issue. Just make sure you buy from a reputable source. Some online sales are suspect and you are getting a bunk product. Pay the extra couple of bucks support your local shop. At least that way, you have a face to go with the purchase you made and can take it directly back if its bad out of the box.

Unclassed 2GB uSD(not sdhc) and a 16gb class 10 PNY. There is a post around here somewhere where I ran dd as a simple benchmark and got smoking speeds with the class 10. 40+MB/s

what is the Best micro SD 32 GB for my Xplay R800i?

hi i was wondering what brand is the best and why? my current location Qatar and in the store i only saw Nokia 32Gb isa that a good one?
and can you please give me a full info of what brand should i choose 4 my xplay thank you

I would like to know this too except i'm in the UK, wha is the best make and class to use? the 16gb class 2 that came with my Play seems quite slow.

I really don't see a difference between makers all that often. If newegg ships to your country take a look at their cards. I would, for a 32 reccomwnd a class 4 or 6 because of the size of the card

Makers do make a huge difference in quality control.. Buy big brands like Kingston...

SanDisk is best or kingston

Yea sandisk is a good brand new... With ****tier brands.. They don't actually make the sd themselves. They buy it from unknown sources and then brand it with their own logo.

What's PNY like as a brand?

how about nokia 32 gb? is that recommendable?

Nokia ones should be okay too. Just be sure to buy the bigger brands.
And I heard Ebay isn't the reliable. Lots of fakes or sd cards that says 32gb but is actually 4gb.

I just ordered yesterday a Sandisk 32GB class 4 for 46€ on amazon.fr.
http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00...ils?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1315820052&sr=8-1&seller=
I guess you can find similar deals in the UK.
This class4 has been tested on XDA, for sequential writes it reaches 6MB/s and it is faster than most other cards (including class 6 and 10) for writing small files.

i dont really believe in theses "class's" think its a scam to pay more for something that sounds better but isnt any differnet from any other well know popular SD card.. long sentance hahah

i bought a MUSTANG brand (german brand) 32gb microSD card class 10. it works perfectly and is very fast.the price is 80€ on ebay.

Upgraded last night from an old 16GB Class 2 to a Sandisk 32 GB Class 4 its like a night and day difference. 100% recommended.

uh how can i know the classes of the sd card??? if this one is class 2 or class 4?

It should have a 2 or 4 with a circle around it on the front label. If not there are some apps that can speed test it and tell you.

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.

Do class 10 cards not work on Desire Z ?

I had a Class 10 patriot and it kept corrupting on me. I RMA'd it several times.

Hmm, I ordered a Transcend 16gb class 10. Hope it'll work.

The Transcend class 10 8gb worked for me.

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.
Not any problems until now ...

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.

Questions like these will just invoke peoples opinions and everybody has one. Nobody will be able to tell you what is "best". They all work good and the same. Samsung make cards just fine. So does PNY, Lexar, Kingston,Transcend,etc. Me personally, I stay with the major brands. You should be fine if you do so.Sounds like you just might have a bad card.Take it back and exchange it for something else.

I am a fan of Sandisk cards. Used a 64GB micro in this phone and then moved onto a PNY card which is what currently is in my Note now. There is another thread somewhere in here, maybe Accessories, that has a great deal on MicroSD cards from Best Buy and Amazon. I would start to look this week at getting a card cause you probably can get one for a steal being that this is Black Thursday/Friday.

Basically, I'm trying to decide between a Samsung 64gb Pro sdxc class 10 or a Sandisk Extreme sdxc class 10, which is like $25 more. Am I wasting my money going the more expensive route? Will my phone even show the difference?

I was having problems with my 16 and 32G samsung cards in my note 2, when i got my note 3 i went with a 64G sandisk (had an amazon gift card to use up) and have nothing but good things to say. I tried my 32G samsung in the note 3 as well and it was hit or miss kinda like your describing

It's hit or miss. My 32 gb sandisk class 10 just stopped working last night, lost everything on the card. Im probably going with a samsung card next. There are many reports of samsung devices ruining memory cards, especially sandisk brand.

I went ahead and bought the SanDisk extreme. Just had it for a couple hours and my phone seems to be running hot. I'll keep you guys updated.

I have a Sandisk 64gb card. It did crap out on me but they replaced it and so far so good. I've never had a problem with Micro Center cards but as of right now the biggest they have is 32gb. That's my backup in case my 64gb Sandisk craps out again.

Can you do a speed test on the pny card please. There's an app on the play store called a1 sd test I think that is pretty good. I saw that card on sale for $27 so I think I'm getting it

Been running my Sandisk Extreme 64gb for a couple of days and it has not beengiving me any giving me any problems. Everything is running smooth. It doesn't seem lightning fast but it's pretty fast. Nothing impressive on my benchmark but I got it for free. If I had to pay money, I think I would go Samsung pro.

I got 22read, and 13.9 write on my PNY that I bought for $27.
