If I am not mistaken, that is a standard SDHC, and not the micro SDHC that our phones require.
I got this one and works fine:
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-micro...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1281392547&sr=1-1
^That's what I have,
formats to about 14gb of space and is pretty snappy
There are a couple of off-brand class 6 cards that have shown up on ebay and Amazon called TopRam and 3C Pro. Anyone have experience with these?
I am familiar with the usual suspects (i.e. Sandisk, Kingston, Patriot, A-Data, etc). but was wondering if there have been any positive reviews with the ones above since then do tend to run substantially cheaper.
*Edit* Doh, not microsd!!

I'm going to get this and see how well it works. AData is a good company (bought some ddr2 for my media computer). The one from the Amazon link (SanDisk) is only a class 2 while the adata is a class 6 and a good price

The card you linked is SDHC, not microSDHC, won't fit. Wish you could get microSDHC class 6 for that price.

Just noticed that and was about to edit. That's what I get for surfing while working!
If you're lucky to have Micro Center stores in your area, their house brand 16GB microSD card is not bad at all. For $34, you get a card marked as class 2. But I've tested mine on my PC and its write speed is around 7 MB/s and read speed is around 14 MB/s, practically a class 6 card! No wonder this card always seems to be out of stock quick.
dang before when i checked it it was a micro sdhc weird

Class 2 = 2MB/s. The review I saw show the Sandisk can be as fast as 4 to 5 MB/s.

i know what class means. There have seen a few reviews stating 6+ writing. Sandisk is about as as good a quality chip that you can get so paying less and getting quality is a win win.

I tried my luck with a TopRam 16 GB class 4, and I have transferred a little over 8 gb of files onto it and use it daily with no complaints.
I purchased mine on Buy.com because it was a little cheaper there a few months ago when I ordered it.

i'm also looking to get at least one lexar 32gb class 10 micro sd card. the only thing i'm worried about is the compatibility with my vibrant. is lexar a safe brand to use with it? (i've read that there were problems with the Kingston micro sd cards)
Preferably class 2+ but compatible. Anyone have any links or recommendations?

I found that Wintec 16 GB C10 on Newegg for $29.50 which many people seem to say decent things about but I've never heard of Wintec so I'm not exactly too sure about buying one of those.

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 just ordered this last night:

Good call, I'm waiting on a replacement for my 16GB Wintec right now, it died on me after about a month.

Well, crap... My 32GB Wintec is in the mail right now. I hope it lasts longer than yours did.
So far, my Wintec 16GB has been working as advertised. As of right now, I would suggest it to anyone looking to upgrade their SD card.
I had to return 2 Wintec's b/c of poor performance. I Then tested a cheap Kingston and Sandisk (whch were both faster then the Wintec at most file sizes) but not where I wanted it to be. I have a a couple of high end cards for my dSLR but I didn't want to spend that much for my phone. I finally settled on Patriot LX for price performance.
If you have a Micro Center in your area you can pick up a "Micro Center Branded" MicroSD card there for dirt cheap.
I bought 2 8GB class 2 for $13.99 each and a 16GB Class 2 for $27.99
Heres the kicker. The supplier they get them from marks them as class 2 but they are Class 6.
All three cards have a write rate or 6+ MB/sec and a 13 MB/sec read. Tested on a 2 different windows machines and the SD Speed test app from the market.

I have a scan disk 8gig sd card, the one that came with the phone. I'm looking to upgrade the sd card. I have two questions (I did search on xda sorry if I didn't see this question answered already)
1) What's the highest gig the Evo 4G will support?
2) What type of sd card should I get, like company name and all that?
Thanks.
32gb, san disk class 6
There really isnt a best card, just get the highest class you can afford.
The one piece of advice though, do NOT buy memory cards off ebay. 80% of the cards on there are fakes. Purchase from an authorized retailer, like newegg.

The company that has had the most positive results is SanDisk. Not all packages will say what class the card is so look for a "C" with a number inside of it. 10 is the best right now but SanDisk ones are hard to find. Like a previous poster said, Class 6 is the most popular and fairly nicely priced.

Unfortunately, it's not just eBay. Both CircuitCity (when they were in business) and most recently BestBuy have actually had fake SanDisk cards ON THEIR SHELVES. That's pretty brazen by the forgers.

Because SanDisk seems to be such a big target for forgeries, I switched to Kingston for my memory cards in my phone, tablet, camera, my kids' Nintendo DS, etc. I've been very happy with them.
Just recently I got a 32gb Class 4 Patriot for under $40 (for my Acer A500 tablet) and I'm very happy with its performance. So don't overlook Class 4 if money is a bit tight because it will get you a much bigger card for the money that still does the job well.
I have a 16GB Class 4 Kingston in my HTC Evo 4G and currently have it partitioned for running Synergy RLS1, which is also performing very well.
Best SD card recommended for SGS III

Erm Sandisk's Mobile Ultra UHS SDXC cards are temperature proof, waterproof, shock proof, xray proof etc as well and still just as fast and not limited to 32GB max like Samsung's current cards.

I just looked into them - but they are class 6's right?
I don't really need all that protection - it stays in my phone and is a happy bunny in there, if it gets water on it, then my £500 phone goes with it.
I' more interested in speeds - and I need nothing more than 16GB.
Have enough space with 8GB INT + 16GB EXT on my S1 - I;ll have an additional free 8GB with the S3. I don't see me filling it up any time soon.
Could you please tell me, speed only wise, the difference between the SDXC's and the SDHC's?
Considering I don't need to spend £45 on an microSD card - I'de be looking at the 16GB variants which in sandisk's case are SDHC's , equally on par with the Samsung cards.
Only difference is, the samsung ones are class 10 and the sandisk ones are class 6.
Am I wrong?
The class system is the mimimum speed at which they operate are expected to. The Sandisk one is class 10 and you will find Sandisk cards outperform their class specification almost all the time anyway.

No it isn't.
Only the 64GB model, the SDXC is a class 10, the other models, the lower space models, like the 32gb and 16gb are class 6 and denoted as SDHC
And I'm on about the 64GB model and have always been in this thread...!

I ordered this one and have just had an email from Amazon that it is due to be despatched on 17 May. A little more expensive than Play but should definitely have it in time and I have an Amazon gift certificate to use up.
---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------
I have just noticed that the Amazon one is called Sandisk Ultra but the Play one is called Sandisk Mobile Ultra and specifically mentions Android. Are these the same item or are their two versions of the 64Gb SDXC card?
Anyone know?

samsung is a class 10, sandisk a class 6.
I never was a SD card pro, until now
Upgraded from a 8GB Class 2 on my SGS to a Class 10 32GB from Samsung. More space for MKV movies ;]
Mine arrived class 10 "extreme speed"
I'll post speeds when I get back to the UK in around a week or so.
what would one recommend between a class 10 SanDisk 32gb and a class 10 Samsung 32gb? both very similarly priced
