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.
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
Where did you guys buy your micro SD cards for a cheaper price and how many gb should I get if I want to run cm7 off of the SD? Thanks guys

The NC can support 32G uSD, majority of people uses 16GB or 8GB Sandisk, class 2 or 4.
Some reported Sandisk cards from ebay are counterfeit.

I have three, 4 gb sandisks.
1 is my cwm recovery and allows me to put in nandroids as I need.
The other two are test installs, one for miui and the other for cm7, but.
I have one 8 gb that is my stock 1.2 nook ereader on it.
My nook as a 16 gb sandisk now with cm7 on the emmc.
I have a 32 gb sandisk that I am trying to decide if I am going to break it out and use it since my current 16gb disc is at 14 gb full.

According to other members, Sandisk class 2 is one of the best for NOOK, 4GB seems to be low (the ROM itself - /system - doesn't take that much) for storage but you actually have at least 1GB on eMMC or potential 5GB (if v1.1 or re-partition)
uSD = µ for microSD
Extensive testing, many MicroSD purchases later, and near a dozen SanDisk MicroSD cards says that this link:

Will get you the best cards I and at least one other member here have been able to find.
I've put a lot of work/research into this running from the MicroSD card issue, see my sig for the two threads you should read to understand it.
The 16 Gig SanDisk cards i've gotten from the link I just posted have tested to the best benchmarks i've run so far - and I very thoroughly benchmark my cards.
Best of luck to you!

Sweet! Thank you, mine is already on it's way.
I know you'll like it - it's great to be able to take the guesswork out of finding something that works so well.
These cards were originally found by user busyworked, and he put quite a bit of research into tracking down model numbers to locate these specific cards.
The original post is Here.
One of the things that makes this community so fantastically great, is the amount of work that people put into this stuff on their spare time. By keeping the record straight for who found (or did) what, we can keep building on that knowledge without crossing the same ground. It's also great to make sure the right people get credit for what they've done.
I'd hate to take credit for anothers discovery, just want to make sure others know how much effort he put into finding that gem of a card. I didn't have enough time earlier to link the post, but the shopping link was a shortcut on my desktop and quick to call up.

I got this card but it came "oem" No packaging and couldn't tell if it was new. It wasn't described as oem in packaging from Etech, very annoyed by this.
Keep your fingers crossed that it isn't a counterfeit.
Yeah, I hope it works when mine arrives too.
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
I have one of these, it outperforms every other card i've been able to get my hands on.
Forget what the packaging was like when it came in, but shipping was quick.
It's marked in the same fashion as another SanDisk (8 gig class 4) card I bought at Radio Shack.
My 8 gb sandisk from etech was in new retail packaging.
My 16 gb sandisk from etech was OEM (no package, no nothing for that matter).
The 16 gb sandisk seems to work just fine, I've had it for about a week and a half on my nook color as it's primary sd card with emmc with cm7.
After thinking about it more deeply, my 16gig card came in just the small plastic case with a full sized sdcard adapter, no original packaging.
I run my OS from the card, not emmc, and it is fantastically better then other microsd cards i've used.
It doesn't bother me that it wasn't advertised about the packaging, but I can certainly see how some(probably most) people would be ticked about it. I concede without question the legitimacy of the argument.
I defray the idea that the card may have been previously used by the amount of business the company does. I think they pump more volume out then they could keep track of an 'employee loaner program' or whatever.
At least this thread has borne out this fact, so we can say buyer beware of the packaging issue.
That said, it's still the best MicroSD card we know of - unless some of the people researching the "operating system from MicroSD" situation have some hidden gem they aren't talking about.
(I sincerely doubt this, it's like the complete opposite of the spirit of the place we are in...tantamount to committing sacriledge in a church or something)
Sorry, I didn't think to mention this.
Both 16gig cards I ordered from there came in OEM packaging, didn't seem like a big deal to me at the time.
I never considered any of the thoughts surrounding that revelation, or I would have made it known up front.
My apologies.
(still a rockin' card though)
I'm happy with mine. Can't beat the $17 Amazon/etech charged. Aside from the shipping envelope it came in, packaging looks just like I'd see it on the shelf at walmart...
Works great too!

I bought this one to use it in the NC. Very fast, comes with adapter.
Free shipping. The store itself is very good, respectable. I have bought laptop from them before.
I get all my electronics online, almost always from Amazon.
The size sd card you should get depends on what you want to keep in your nook.I don't store music our videos on mine so 8gb us plenty for me.

So, my son is running out of room on his 8gb card and I recently upgraded to a 16gb and now he wants one too LOL. I figured since I am now playing around with ROMs and need more backup space I'll just give him mine and pick up a 32gb.
So, my question is... Kingston, Transcend, or Sandisk? I'm looking at Class 4. Thanks!

I have a spare 64 and 128gb card waiting
I have a 64GB Silicon Power Superior Pro UHS3 in mine, it seems to working quite nicely so far. I've had a lot of SD cards go back, so I really hope this one lasts a little longer. I have a Mixza Ocean Series 128gb on its way, really hope that one works!

Adoptable storage on or off?
I never use adoptable storage now. I figured that may be the cause of death of a couple cards I had. I just use it for music a yeah.

I'm also using a 16gb sd card on my xt1609 as well.
Working fine for me. Not using adoptable storage as I think it slows the phone down.
I'm using 32gb working perfectly for me not using adoptable storage.
It's been almost a month now and I can say my 128gb Mixza shark is still working nicely. Hopefully I didn't just jinx it.

I'm currently using a 64 GB MicroSDXC UHS-I Card from the relatively unknown manufacturer 'QUMOX'.
I was pleasantly surprised.Particularly with regard to the comparatively low cost.
In any case is the performance as every bit as good as the from SanDisk based on my experience.
I've looked up the actual price for the SDXC Card, which is ~€ 22 for 64 GB and just ~ € 28,50 for the 128 GB variation.Amazon has those on stock.
In the tech-section is as known man inferior products, but renowned manufacturers aren't a guarantee for a proper device!
