32gb MicroSD card < $20

I was looking into cheap 32 gb cards and found a website called DHGate, a chinese bulk supplier.
Anyways...
Link
I was thinking of buying around 10 and reselling 8 or 9 online/locally.
What does everyone think?

Most likely fake, try ebay instead. At least you will get ebay/paypal protection

I've purchased from them before. There a wholesaler so you're right you have to buy in bulk. There just like Alibaba. Those are only class 2 cards too. I found lowest price 32gb > class 2 for $72 on NewEgg and those others are $188 for 10. I would turn them over for $50 a pop and make a killin'.

Why not make some cash I was thinking the same thing about the battery and charger thread ha ha.

Hey guys, I would read this:
http://www.419legal.org/fradulent-website/16378-dhgate-com-official.html
It looks like nothing but headaches from this company. Also looks like most/all stuff is counterfeit.

That's strange. I ordered a bunch of memory from them before and I received it no problem. Of course it takes almost a month to reach you because of customs. I'll make sure not to do business with them again after seeing that. Thanks for the heads up.

I just ordered one of these today:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260631752949
At best it's an incredible deal. At worst, I find out what it's like to go through the Paypal protection policy.

Nice, they even brand it as Sandisk. I have found that Paypal protection is excellent the two times I have ever had to deal with the,.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, however, for $21 and a guarantee from both Ebay and Paypal...you really have nothing to lose.
The model number they quote on the page is the model number of the actual Sandisk chip, though they could have easily pulled that information from the website for their fake product. They also say it is a class 4 (yay!)
I'm thinking of trying them out just for the hell of it!

Anything coming from china is fake. Thats why everything they sell is so cheap. If you think its real then your on crack. Dont buy anything from china.

amazon usually has pretty good deals on sdcardds

Either way, I don't feel I have much to lose at 20 bucks. Even if PayPal falls through, my credit union will refund me outright because it's under 25 bucks and I wouldn't even have to return it.

So how would we be able to tell if this is fake anyway?

I just got mine in the mail. Will update with transfer speeds and impressions once I get home tonight.

If you bought one of those $30 32gb MicroSD cards it is likely fake. It may appear to be 32gb when it is placed in your pc/phone but it will not correctly store data over its true capacity. If you could please use h2testw (google it) and run the full test to verify the authenticity of your card. I bought a Sandisk 32gb MicroSD from expansys and verified it using this program.
I would recommend you guys don't waste money on these cards as counterfeit items are huge in China. 32gb of the memory used inside these cards would probably be close to if not more then the cost you are paying. So apply a little common sense here.

Ive never had any issues with china. Bought a kingston cruzer 200 128gb usb 2.0 drive for 29 dollars and it works as needed. 19 mb/s write speed and 25 read. Its a beast. And yes Ive tested its full capacity on multiple occasions. Works great.
As to your question, I have download your test software (h2testw) and am running it now. Will report when finished.
Initial tests with sdcard test on evo reports it as class 2, 3 mb/s write (not great, but it is large enough to compensate), but still getting a 12 mb/s read.

Once you get over 2gb of stuff on the card report back if the files are broken or not.
I have heard that they show as 32gb, but once you pass 2gb the files become broken, and if you format the card it formats to 2gb.
It's a rip off.

at 9 gb so far on the h2test2 program. no issues.

Where exactly did you order that card from though? Was it the ebay link provided in this thread?

Looking for a 32 GB MicroSD card for my Evo....

Preferably from Amazon as I have prime and it'll deliver quickly.
I'm not looking to spend anything more than $70-80, but obviously I'd love something even cheaper. Anyone have any suggestions or anything?
Speed isn't a concern to me as long as it isn't TOO slow. Probably only using this for music.
I'm an FORMER iPhone guy (had a Nexus One, but not for too long - bought it when it first came out exclusively for T-Mobile's 3G network and I had AT&T.... loved the phone, but couldn't stand Edge) who doesn't have much experience with expandable memory. I don't really know what to look for! Thanks.

Just a laugh for you, but being a former dual iphone family I went into a AT&T store (I wanted a 32GB card then...that moment and locally) and asked if they had any in stock. Salesman rung up my purchase and asked my phone number...I replied I used to be with you guys and switched over to Sprint and sold my etch e sketches.
He replied its ok and off I went.
Granted I paid 150+ then, they are available just about anywhere for the price range you are looking in.
I got a SanDisk. I do recommend however you get one with an SD/micro sd card adapter and USB for microsd as it was so simple to move everything from one card to the other in one shot.
You dont have to have these, just really makes it easy to move all from old card to card in one click.
Here is the the one I got and its $94 and 5 stars by all 4 people at amazon.

With the exception of a few occasional and short lived deals on the Sandisk 32GB, you're not going to find anything less than $70-80 for a legit 32GB MicroSDHC card. Even $70-80 is a better price than you may find at this moment. Fakes are a very common problem -- smaller cards that have been altered to appear to be 32GB, but won't let you write anything more than the 2GB or whatever they really have in them. So even if you think you've found a great deal, be sure it's from a solid seller (and watch out for Amazon marketplace as well). There was a brief deal from Verizon earlier this year, and one from Sandisk direct a month or so ago that made it available for $50 and $57 respectively, but those are rare.
This Kingston is the card I have. It's sold out in this packaging from newegg right now, but I bought it for about $87 a couple months ago. Prior to sellout, it was going for $95.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139391
This appears to be the same card in different packaging (full size SD adapter instead of a small USB microSDHC reader), and it's also $95:
http://www.adorama.com/KGSDMC432GB.html
As far as I know, the Sandisk and the Kingston are the only legit 32GB microSD cards on the market right now. I haven't looked in the last month or so, but that was the case when I looked a few months ago. But there are also fakes sold as those brands, so be very cautious on any deal that looks too good to be true. Odds are very high it is.

I'm waiting for a steal of a deal on one of these 32GB cards also... my 16GB one is almost done for

I've been looking and waiting for a deal on one as well. My best advice would be to register on a site like slickdeals.net, setup an email alert for 32gb micro sd, and wait for a deal.

Here is a class 4 from Kingston for $105. This is the one I'm getting.

Or, even better, here's a thread about the 32GB Class 10 by Lexar for nearly the same price. Some of the links provided are even cheaper!

I got one off E-Bay for about $55 and it works fine.
Edit: Also check this out. I don't know if the code is still good or not. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852567

Personally, my advise would be to stay away from Ebay. I got 3 counterfeit cards there in the last couple of months. I got refunds for them all, but shipping one of them to China set me back about $25, and in each case I had to open a dispute before they'd provide me a refund. Now I'm trying to decide if I've got the money to splurge on a legit card in the $90 range, or if I'm going to wait and hope they come down in the next couple of months. No more eBay for me!

Ebay 32 GB Micro SD card

Has anyone tried any of the generic 32 GB cards from ebay? I was looking into getting one.

I bought this one...more of a trusted source

i spent the cash and got the confidence of buying legit, $95 for a Lexar 32 GB class 10 card with USB adapter. worth it

I just bought the same one! You can get 10 dollars off (to make it $39.99) if you buy it with a new account. Use the promo code NEWCUSTOMER10. You have to add something small to the order to get it over 50. I went to Newegg gear and added a Newegg wristband, as it was the cheapest item with free shipping.
I wouldn't buy any cards off Ebay. There's as much incentive to sell rigged cards as there is demand for high capacity. My roommate just bought a 32 GB off Ebay and he got lucky. Make sure that the seller offers returns and when you get it immediately run h2testw.
I just have one question for the OP..
Are you feelin lucky?

My wife and I picked up Patriot sd's from Micro Center... I think they were $39 they work pretty awesome. Price wasnt bad at all compared to online prices. it seems like it is luck of the draw on the Generic ebay ones so we stayed away from those.

Fakes are extremely common for flash memory on ebay, especially on any kind of "OMG WHAT A DEAL!" type of things. The fakes are usually a 2GB card that's had a 3 painted on it in front of the 2, and hacked firmware to make it appear to be 32. But when you try to fill it, it won't let you, because it's still just a 2GB card.
Basically, if it's substantially below the going rate from reputable sources (looks to be roughly $60-80), you're going against probably 80-90% odds that you'll get a fake.

I made the mistake of buying one and I can put 32 gb worth in info on there but when I put it in the phone it can't access it.

I wouldn't buy from anyone but a trusted source and right now I wouldn't buy one for less than about $50.00.
In a year or two they'll be going for $25.00, but right now anything that cheap is bound to be a fake that doesn't actually hold anywhere near 32GB.

true story

16gb class 10 (14.8 formatted)- ~$35
32gb class 10 (formatted size unknown)- ~$82
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004H8FTCK
i bought the 16gb c10 and it shipped fast and works perfectly for me. it is a real card, not a rip off too. sdtools (i think its called) for android said it has a r=10-12.5mb/s w=20-25mb/s or something in that range (been a while since i uninstalled the app). never had a problem and i highly recommend it, the 16gb one atleast since thats the only one i can speak for.

Patriot class 6 32gb micro SD card from Fry's for $69 about 3 months ago.
It's legit, not like the fakes on Ebay. Google it. You will find out the truth. Even if you pay near to the going price, you run the risk of getting a fake. IMHO, it's just not worth the hassle.

Got one it works pretty good..

I got one off Ebay for $39.99 and its totally legit. I got lucky I guess... this time.

Got to be careful with SD cards on eBay. I got a fake. I tested it with a program called htest or something like that. Seller did refund my money before I sent back the cards which was quite nice of him. I ended up biting the bullet and bought 2 from best buy.

[Q] Is it a best deal on ebay for 32GB Micro SDHC???

I just found an ebay.com seller listed a kingston 32gb micro sdhc (class 4) card for just $16 ...I dont whether its a genuine deal or not but till now has already sold more than 80 cards (within 12 hrs)....
here's the link http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270781614305&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Last week I saw a similar deal (32gb kingston for $20) I purchased 3 .... although paypal refunded all my money today when i raised a claim but it's such a waste of time....
Can anybody confirm whether its a genuine deal? ALso can anybody suggest a best deal (with worldwide shipping) for buying 32gb micro sdhc class 4 (or 10) card

Nope they are fake. when you plug it in it will show 32gb but in reality they are 1-2 gb cards. I once bought a 16gb flash drive which turned out to be 2gb. never buy flash memory on ebay esp from china. Buy from trusted sellers only.
the money for the "16gb flashdrive" was refunded to me.

If he sends the same kingston card as shown in the pic.... is thr any chance of gettin fake ...
I hv seen many loose or unbranded cards as fake ....hv u encountered any fake card in kingston's retail packing?

Yes they are fake. Fake packaging. Made mostly for schmucks like you who think they are real because of the box they come in. If you put a Lamborghini logo and a ford, Its still just a crappy ford.

Anyone can duplicate packaging even if it has holograms. Everything is easily duplicated. Also the card they state is a class 4, Which I doubt. Its most likely a class 1. Either way Class 4 is useless. Get at least a class 6 card or class 10 which is best. If you care at all about watching movies or recording in HD onto the card.
LESSON OF THE DAY:
IF IT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.... IT IS!

Thanks everybdy... anyway the listing removed by ebay ...
Mods can close this thread...

If you need a 32GB class 4 - THIS is the best deal.
I have got the same one, and I can guarantee it is genuine. And I am having no problems whatsoever.

Recording and playback will be fine with a class 2 card. You certainly don't need anything faster than class 4. The only advantage a class 6 or 10 card has would be faster transfers between your pc and the card.

I have both...I can claim without a doubt my Class 10 32GB Patriot is a lot faster than my 16GB Class 4 Sandisk.
Where do I notice it most besides PC transfers? Media scanner.... the 32GB scans more than twice as fast as the 16GB on reboots after changes. Well worth the $86.

It scans far more than a "bit quicker". It scans faster then the internal SD card!!
No matter.....I paid $600 for a phone...and am flashing custom ROMS and Kernels and donating to the developers and this site supporting them for more speed with stability, I am not going to cut corners in the same arena to save $40 on a lesser SD Card. I want to get the most out of the handset on all fronts. In that regard the class 10 card makes sense.
Then again people will pay $600+ for a handset, $300+ a year for a data plan and balk at paying $3 for a helpful app or donating to a developer. Strange world this mobile phone world indeed.

yes there are different speeds. the class is the speed. so there is class 2,4,6,10 and i think thats it as far as i know. so class 2 would write = 2mb/s, class 4= 4mb/s, class 6= 6mb/s and last class 10= 10mb/s. that is there write speeds. so the one in ur link is a class 4 so 4mb/s. i notice it when transferring files from my pc to the micro sd card

Are the 16gb, class 10 Samsungs that seem to be flooding ebay in their bulk packaging form with the Blue lettering genuine? How are their benchmarks compared to the white lettered ones (and are they genuine, too)?

I bought a bunch in bulk packaging due to the price a few months back. Haven't run into any noticeable problems as of yet.

From my understanding, the bulk packaging may seem like illegal counterfeits, but are not. They are sold in bulk packaging to manufacturers who claim they will use them in their devices. The excess ones are then sold through retail venues (against the agreement they have with sandisk).

I bought one of the white lettered ones from a US-based seller (nextwebsales) via an auction for 10 bucks. I'll post the benches on here when I receive it.

I received the card today and it was NOT the white lettered card shown in the picture, but rather the blue lettered one. I attached a couple of pictures. The card checked out in h2testw, so no problems with the capacity. I did a few benchmarks with crystaldiskmark and attached one that seems representative of the performance. Mind you, this was done with an integrated SD card reader (so using the included adapter) on a 6-year old dell laptop running Vista 32-bit, so until I finally get an android phone (soon, my precious, soon) or a card reader for my new PC, I can't be sure these benches are completely accurate. The sequential read speed seems a bit low and nothing else looks particularly spectacular. I'm not so sure this is genuine Samsung OEM, but for 10 bucks it seems decent until I actually invest in a real 32GB card when I replace my iPhone with an android counterpart.

Best Buy also has a lot of their micro SD's on sale this week. Picked up a SanDisk 16GB Class 10 for 17.99 last night.

Nice! While I can't say I recommend buying one of these sketchy cards from eBay, I will say I don't think I got ripped off. For the performance, reliability, and warranty of some of the name brand cards it's definitely worth the premium.

Only $12.99, Super cheap if you could pick it up. I just grabbed one myself.

Well, I may have to amend my previous statements about this card. I just received a $0.99 microsd card reader from eBay and let 'er rip on my desktop (Windows 7 64-bit) and it yielded much different results. This was after a quick format and plugging in the reader into a front I/O port not directly soldered to the mobo. It looks like the laptop reader/Vista was throttling the performance. If it holds up, it may be a good deal.
