Micro SD cards

Just wanted to share this with you guys. Found it while browsing through my local craigslist. It has 16GB class 4 for $24.99 and 32GB class 4 for $39.99.
uvantis.com

this uvantis.com was just created 12/10/10 dont know if id jump just yet.

It accepts payment through paypal I see, I am also looking to buy the 32gb for 39.99. Free shipping as well. Seems to good to be true. I recently got ripped off from some stupid chinese website selling electronics, at least this website will take paypal I am figuring.

paypal only gives you the money back if they can get it back from the seller, and im guessing they won't be able to. I dont agree only shady companies advertise on craigslist, but it seems this one is.

There are several threads on here for Micro SDHC cards. There is a 32GB Micro SDHC Class 10 card by Lexar. It's $108 on Amazon, but someone found a link to a different store out there for $88. Check this thread.
I'll take some thanks too, iitreatedii.

No way. I hate swapping out my 4gb and 8gb now, as it is. I'd much rather have a 32gb and have it all on one card.

ummmmmm 109 vs 60, that's almost double, now im not poor, i own gucci t shirts and dolce and gabbana t shirts, a bunch actually, money has nothing to do with it, its the value you receive, 109 dollars is not worth 32 gigs of memory when 16 is plenty and if you need that extra little boost, either free some of the junk you shouldnt have on there, or buy one more, you shouldnt need to change a 16 gig 5 times a day...if you need it its there but there should be no reason why...nothing can justify 109 dollars for a memory card, im sorry if you feel otherwise
and the reason you must swap so much is bc you have a 4 gig and a 8gig...theyre small and probably slow...

apparantly he does with a 4 and 8 which would prove him wrong becuase 4+8=12...<16, so a 16 would be fine including an extra 4 gigs for him just a reference not as a generalization...

That math makes no sense, 2 cards, 60 each=120 or 1card for 108.../did I miss something

lol its all good...and you shouldnt have to switch all the time, tell me what takes up so much room on your sd that you need 32? and if it came to say 21 or so, for the justification of 30 dollars to 108...you cant figure out a way to downsize or delete some unused files, i mean be realistic...

Why would you not get the 32GB if you can afford it. Not having to worry about running out of space is more realistic that having to worry about what files I have to delete.

So... you know how much storage I need and how I use it? To clear things up, I have been waiting on the 32gb card to come out because I wanted to replace my iPod. I didn't want to purchase a 16gb card because that wouldn't have been enough storage for my music collection and the occasional TV episode or movie. Two or three 16gb cards would mean I would have to put my music and videos on multiple cards and swap them depending on what I wanted to listen to or watch at the moment.
And it has nothing to do with the speed. I'm not doing apps2sd. I simply need more storage on one card. I'm surprised it's that hard to understand. Talk about fail...

Lexar 32gb micro SDHC class 10 card...failx2

ok so I am now about to be on my 3rd 32gb Lexar class 10 micro sdhc card. I am thinking that the first two since they were in the same shipment batch that they were just a bad bunch of cards. Just wanted to put the warning out there to you guys. My cards will just show up as corrupted and will not mount. Having to use a forensic software to pull all the non-backed up stuff off right now.
Anyone else having any problems with them?

I havent tried Lexar but I did buy a 32gig Class 10 Patriot and it has worked flawlessly so far

I have the lexar one and it works fine.

just warning you...37 days into this card and it failed....the first one lasted a little over 2 weeks.
back up, thats all I am saying

I got one coming... i'll see how it goes

Thx. I decided to try the Patriot version instead (not that it has any better reviews, but a few Atrix owners have reported success with it). Cheers.

Been running lexar since first week had the phone, no problems yet. What batch yours come out of? Also, ordered from provantage, shipped from new jersey or georgia one, will have to double check.

couldnt tell ya. I do know it was the very first shipment of them that came into our store like a week or two after CES. Im just thinking it was just a bad first batch. 3rd one is going fine so far...

I got mine through Beach Audio via Amazon. It's been working fine so far.

I got my Lexar class 10 a few weeks before the Atrix, it has been in the phone since the first boot and has worked great.

There is a known issue with micro sdhc cards with the atrix. Just like with the windows phone. Motorola is supposed to be coming out with an update to fix the issue.

What kind of prices are you guys finding on these SD cards? It seems silly to me to buy a single 32gb card for $100~ when you can get 3-4 16gb cards for the same price.

I have friends at Moto and this is the first i have heard....
please offer even a shred of proof regarding your statements....
I know many people with Atrix and SD cards and NO issues.
Link to anything that mentions this known issue - this is nothing like Windows 7 -where the SD card slot was blocked at release.

The highest capacity model of any data storage device always has a higher per unit of storage cost than lesser models... but it also holds the most. You've got to pay to play.
If you wanted to have access to 32 gb of data, you wouldn't want to be swapping out two 16 gb cards as needed to get that capacity would you? To me, that seems silly.

And I understand that. For me personally, taking 15 seconds to swap an SD card isn't really a big deal, especially since with this phone (thank science), the card slot is easily available under the battery cover, instead of the battery itself.
But, if I can get a decent price on a 32gb card I'm all for it. The price difference just doesn't seem worth it (to me) to save the 15 seconds

If you want to carry all 32gb with you, where di you put the extra 16gb card? It gets old remembering to put accessories in your pocket.

Anyone else getting VERY SLOW transfers speeds with this card? Average I'm getting is 3.5mb/sec which is well below normal!! Therefore, it takes awhile to transfer a movie from my PC.

Like I said, it's really all about personal preferrence. I carry a shoulder bag around with me everywhere I go, so remembering accessories isn't really an issue. I always have my Lapdock, charger, bluetooth mouse, etc. with me at all times. This phone replaced any need I had for a netbook.
Still no word on prices people have got for these?

[Q] Memorette 32GB micro SDHC?

Are these cards junk or worth buying? Never heard of the brand, assume its a Chinese manufacturer.

Memorette has been around for a while. They made blank cassette and video tapes, and now also make blank dvds and cds.
I have Clear & Present Danger and The Rock recorded on a Memorette video tape. I don't have a VCR though..

Anyone else have any experience with the company and/or specifically their micro sd cards?

Do you still have it by chance? Did you try reformatting it other than FAT32? Did it read the total capacity correctly?
Thx yes i do NOT mean memorex, they are relatively speaking a name brand. The brand is Memorette, which im sure is some chinese stuff...considering buying them but want to make sure they are worth buying.

They are a South Korean manufacturer of all sorts of data drives etc.

I always stick with high quality Panaphonic products. Or Sorny.

Yes, it's a well-known Korean manufacturer. The only question is: will you get original product of fake. I don't know how to see the difference when buying online.
Original Memorette cards should give you 11Mb/s write speed. Friend of mine bought this for $99 a time ago. You can find such cards for $45 on eBay but are they original...

Memorette 32GB
The 32GB MemorETTE cards can be purchased online for about $10 per card in quantities of 15.
How many people think that a $10 card with that capacity/Class 10 can actually exist in the year 2011?
I tend to think these are knock-offs.

Yeah at that price, what you are getting is most likely a 2 gb card that has been hacked to read 32gb. When you go to add your media or whatever, everything after 2gb is currupt and not really there since you ran out of space after the actual card size.

I have a 32 GB Sandisk class 10 in my EVO and it works badass.

Just FYI I bought this card off ebay and I have to say DO NOT BUY!! As it was mentioned some where else. it will write like 2 or so GB then all the rest of the data becomes corrupt. I am now currently in a depute about this card and all in order to get my Evo to be my end all MP3 player (which it already kinda was) with Google Music.

Hey, I bought this one as well, fake as it can be. I have also ongoing claim with Paypal regarding this. Looking at it afterwards it was too good to be true anyway.

I also had a bad experience with this product. I could put 32 gb worth of info on it but it would never read all of the info. I mostly used it for movies and I would put about 10-15 movies on it ( each movie about 1gb) but I would only be able to watch the first couple of movies once I put the card in my tablet. My computer and tablet would show that it had 32gb on it so I just though it was my device and not the card. I think I am screwed because I bought it 3 months ago. What Ebay seller did you Buy it from. Maybe if we all bought it from the same person then Paypal will allow me to open a case.

I just thought that My G-Tablet wasn't reading the card correctl or the format of the movies wasn't working so I kind of gave up. I should have done a search to see if others were having problems.

I have one of these - 32gb memorette sdhc. Does not work well in my HTC Sensation. pictures start disappearing, video doesn't play back, carded apps begin to fail.
Now here's the odd bit - seems to work fine in Lumix G2 camera. Pics, video all stay just fine. Even when i put this in my phone after - the lumix G2 pics stayed on the chip and could be viewed on the phone fine but anything taken on the andriod phone started to become corrupt after a hour or so.
Can anyone else do this test??
***** I now think this is because the camera does add extra data so its not going over the 2gig which these cards are most likely to be. Got refunded anyway *****

{ Can I } extend to 32GB SD ?

can I use a 32gb SD card in my device ?
thanks ^^^

you sure can! i am using one now. sandisk class 4. bought it for 29.99 and a 1 day sale! works great along with my internal card!

I'm using one too. Just a note, the internal memory registers to apps as the SD card, while the SD card is located as a folder inside that marked External_SD. I had to redirect a few apps to there to find their data.

Yeah it's really expensive here is the price:
64GB $219.99
but are you sure it can? cause from what I've read SGH-T989 is designed to take up to 32GB's only... I'm curious if it can really take more than that set value of 32GB's. You will see this if you read the owner's manual of the phone

there are many confirmations and videos that have shown it can, even on old HTC and Samsung devices, or many other phones
as for the price, if you think about it
2x 32GB $100 = 1x 64GB $200
so it's just like buying 2 card, but you can use them together at the same time instead of having to take out the back cover + case to swap the SD cards

I just bought this from B&H and paid more. Going to partition now and set an ext.3 for a2sd.
I suspect that it will be fine since these companies buy from the same source and brand it for themselves. My thought was that Samsung probably one of the main sources and I trust their QC since they make some of the best phones on the market.
but will see...I'll report back if something remarkable happens.
I change out cards every 12 months anyway because I had one fail on me (not Samsung) and it was not pleasant.

how much free space do you actually have on that 32 GB SD card?

That is amazing... I'm going to have to pick one up.
