Sandisk Extreme III SD Card Compatibility? - General Accessories

Can anybody let me know if the Sandisk Extreme III SD Card (1GB) is compatible with the XDA2 (Himalaya).
If so, is this a good card to get?
Are their any good alternatives with speeds comparable to the Sandisk Extreme III series (x133)?
TIA

Yes, very good card. Works perfectly. Good warranty and 100% functional. No blemishes. Its only the ROM that shows it as 2GB but you can hold 4GB of data on it. The camera only writes images to the card if there is some data on the card first. My Universal also recognises 8GB SD cards from Samsung which are also amazing. I can watch DVD's on my Universal with the 8GB card, all i do is copy everything from the 4.7GB DVD and paste it in the 8GB card and pop it into the Universal and use some DVD video player i have,,, i think it was tcmp. Amazing quality and sound on headphones and speakers.
In 4GB as you mentioned these Q memory cards are really awesome. Another good one would be 4GB SanDisk Extreme 3 which is very fast. 4GB in mini-SD also works on the Universal.
I prefer 8GB SD from Samsung the most. It can be purchased for less than $200 in Shanghai and HongKong and most of Japan.
By the way please take note that Samsung and Sony are collaborating to make a 32GB card... i dont know if it was SD or what. Anyways keep looking and you will find interesting things every day.

I got my SanDisk Extreme 3 4GB SD card for $80. A very good price because 2GB SanDisk Extreme 3 from Sandisk's website costs $100-120 or something and some places $200. mini-SD at 4GB is $170 or something.
8GB Samsung price won't fall buddy. It will remain above $200. It is unique and rare item and not available in stores. Only available in Shanghai, HongKong and Japan. Place your special order from eBay or any other website, you wont regret it.
I regret one fact that I came to North America and this small continent is isolated from the rest of the world in terms of development, technology, society and economy. Asian and european countries have the best in technology and we always got to get stuff shipped from there. Infact stats from Unicef show that Canadian and American economies will rapidly fall compared to the rest of the G8 countries.
WoW!!! The Q Memory 4GB SD Card works well with Helmi's AKU 3.5. The camera application works and stores the pictures directly to the card.

>.< Didnt i already tell you that. Anyways i dont like keeping many cards and swapping them all the time. Right now i have 4 cards adding up to 16GB of memory... grr i wish i could have done that with 2 x 8GB. I was concentrating on getting mini-SD cards and forgot about the 8GB SD cards. I have 2 x 2GB mini-SD, 1 x 4GB SD and 1 x 8GB SD. I wonder if there is any other type of memory that can be used with an SD card adapter. Micro-SD is way too expensive and not required.

Just get them from ebay. Search on ebay for "8GB SD" or call Samsung and ask them. Pictures dont mean a lot. And you wont be able to find it in 90% of stores in democratic countries because the price is inflated 100 times the original price. Probably like $500 in US.

Hi speed Micro SD card?

Hi there,
Bro has just picked up an Xda Orbit and I wanted to know if there are any high speed Micro SD cards at 1GB or 2GB available?
Since my Xda2i days, I've been impressed with the Transcend range but they dont seem to do any hi speed micro sd cards - or at least I can't see them listed !
I'm open to other's Sandisk etc but I'd like them to be hi speed cards
Can anyone point me to sites which have them please?!
Cheers!
Dennis! West London UK!

Right hand side 2gb £49.99 +postage, I bought one just before Christmas all cool.
But note the thread on MicroSD issues on the Artemis/Orbit in other thread - issues with the PDA not SD card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285511
i can only recommend the card mentioned by ricardoC above. have been using it for about twelve weeks now and had no issue with it at all. you should keep in mind though, that afaik,the speed of a card INSIDE a ppc device is purely dependant on the speed of the device. therefore the stated read and write speeds not applicable. nevertheless i FIND the card to perform faster in my hero in comparison to sd cards inside my mdac one.

got mine here: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270057565199
SanDisk memory products have never given me any problems, plus there is 5 year warranty here in Switzerland.
I used a "standard" SD in my old BlueAngel and when I changed it for an UltraII Sandisk SD TomTom map access/scrolling was a LOT faster. Its true the card is only as fast as the interface but you want to get the max out of it so fastest card you can get is best.

It might be true on a Blue Angel but the standard SanDisk SD card is more than fast enough for the Magicians SD interface so buying an Ultra version is just a waste of money.
Disregard my reply, I thought I was still in the Magician forum.
It might be true for the Artemis though.

high speed micro sd card - update
Hiya
I ordered a 1GB Sandisk Ultra 2 card for my bro's orbit and hopefully it'll work without hiccups and possible corruptions!
My bro's Orbit will be my little test unit and if all is well, I'll get one too ! and the same micro SD card of course!
thanks for the pointers
Cheers, Dennis! West London UK!
Depending on what you want it for note that TomTom's single map of western europe is 900mb - so it will nearly fill a 1gb card, just thought I would mention it.
I use transcend never have any problem with P800w or Artemis
i'm using this brand since Dopod 818Pro or XDA NEO

Premier microSD vs microSD

Has anyone tried the new Premier microSD card from Sandisk?
I'm interested in buying a new card for my Artemis and recently I discovered this new type of microSD. Does it offer any advantages comparing with the plain microSD? Is it faster or anything?
Any help would be appreciated

I bought the SanDisk Ultra if that's what you mean by premier microSD. And yes, it is much much faster interms of transfer speed. Other thing noticed is TomTom does much faster searching when you enter street names. It is worth the extra money.
I second that. I have a Sandisk Ultra 2GB in mine and it performs very well with it.
I wasn't talking about Ultra but nevertheless thank you for the info. Maybe I should go for the Ultra card afterall. I really like a fast memory card!!

I've recently been researching into this. Consensus is either the Samsung Evo Plus or SandDisk Ultra. Both priced about the same.
128GB for around £35, 64GB around £17.
Also make sure it's class 10.
New SDcards will have A classes, they are meant for installing apps on them, meaning they are optimized for smartphone usage. SanDisk already announced one in A1 class.

Memory cards supported?

Hey guys,
I can't seem to find any detailed information about memory card support on galaxy A5 2017. I was thinking about buying a microsd UHS-3 class 10, is it supported? or waste of money? i heard good opinions about this specific one: Samsung 64GB 100MB/s (U3) MicroSDXC EVO
but again, i'm no expert in the matter. My goal is to install apps on it, not much photos. I want the fastest card, i hate lag
thanks in advance
Well there are 2 slots on the phone : one for the sim card (obviously) and the other one for the memory card.

Yes @amithiel A5 2017 supports UHS 3 memory card and the limit is 256gb. However I wouldn't recommend spending so much on UHS 3 as these cards are useful only for high end cameras like go pro and security cams. On phone you wouldnt find much difference. Telling from experience. I am using 64gb UHS grade 3. And it give me 25 mpbs transfer speed when transfering files from pc to sd card when it is connected through phone. And gives 35~38mbps speed when directly connected to pc through card reader.

I generally get 128g SD chips for my phones. Haven't filled one yet!

If you want to use adoptable storage, you would need the fast class 10 card, slower cards simply don't work well enough. Even if you just run apps off it, the extra speed is worth it. <It is not that much more than slower cards, maybe 10-20% more ... in Canada at any rate.>
