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

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.

looking to buy 16GB/32GB micro sd card. Suggestions?

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.

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.

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...

We looked them up because he is an XDA lover and wanted to know himself. 32 gb are not on sale and they only have class 4 available. They just started getting class 10 of pny for 32 gb.

Why don't my photos seem to save to the new card?
It erases the pictures as it's running the media scan. Any ideas why? Bad card?
