Browsing newegg i found this card, Never heard of this brand. Anyone have any experience before? Class 10 for a 32gb micro sd seems like a real good deal to me.

That's incredibly fast indeed. The class thingy is official, because it's just as an official label as an Full HD TV is Full HD. So you can't doubt about that.
How many formats it will survive is the question, but I think the quality of SD cards doesn't matter so much anymore (except the classes)
I am wondering about that as well. It says it has a lifetime warranty so that's great. Also I found this at Fry's (32GB MICRO SDHC CLASS 10, PATRIOT PSF32GMCSDHC10) for $109.99
I just bought two WINTEC 32GB Micro SDHC Class 10 cards at Fry's Electronics today, and so far they're working very well in both my Viewsonic G-Tablet and Samsung Galaxy Tab.
I haven't had time to benchmark the card(s) yet, but there's quite a noticeable difference in the performance of my Samsung Galaxy Tab.
So Far - So Good...
Well, based on just the reviews I've read on Newegg recently for Wintec-branded cards, I'd have to avoid them myself.
I was looking at the 16GB version of the card you're looking at now (Item=N82E16820161405), from Wintec and a Class 10. The feedback appears mostly negative, with many complaints about the card not functioning at all when the customer received it, several about it's speeds diminishing over time (under 6 months), several more about data corruption and/or complete failure occuring within a few months, and one unsettling one about Wintec blaming the customer for damage/abuse and refusing to honor their "Lifetime Warranty."
I can't speak from personal experience, and customer reviews are not 100% reliable, but there are enough people on Newegg dissatisfied with their Wintec MicroSD card to convince me to purchase another brand.
I have two of the 16GB Class 10 cards and they both are working pretty well. One is in my Nookcolor and the other in my Nexus One. Benchmarks were 18.7Mb/sec sequential read and 16.7Mb/sec sequential write. It's a good price and works well so if you are on a budget or just don't want to spend too much money for a card I would recommend these. Hope that helps.
Saw this on newegg for a pretty good price, a class 10 32GB card for $76 sounded good to me. While there are a few bad reviews I don't hold much stock in newegg buyers tbh. They aren't always the most technically proficient individuals and I always like to try things myself anyway. I'll be more than happy to fight to return the thing if it turns out to be bad. Hard to pass up this kind of thing .
Here's the newegg link in case anyone is interested. Mine will get here Tuesday so I will post back with a benchmark. Fingers crossed.
EDIT: After some google searching about similar cards from this company I found a thread on this forum about the 16GB model: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830491
If you skip to the last page you can see the OP and others had some problems with it. I figure I will stress the crap out of it when I get it, try and find any problems before the clock runs out on returns. I'll probably just write to the the entire card, read it all back, then erase and repeat until something bad happens. Im sure doing it this way I can recreate a month or two of use in just a day or so.
I just ordered on of these yesterday from newegg, I'll be sure to report back how well it works in my SGS once I receive it!

What file system did you use for those devices? I'm not sure what I should format my 32gb card as for my Droid 2. So far from what I have read from google searches it seems android doesnt support exFAT or NTFS which means no large file support :/. I could format it to ext3 or something but that would mean I couldnt use it on windows. Not sure what to do.
EDIT: Well I've been reading and writing to the whole card all day and so far no problems. Writes at 15MB/s and reads back at 20MB/s, pretty good. No corruption or slowdowns at all.

Just wondering, how much did that run in USD?
its already stated in my previous post.
Damn, I guess those reviewers were right. Phone is crashing alot, all apps that use the SD card freeze up the second they start. It was working fine on my PC but my Droid 2 Global doesn't like it. Lame. Thank god for Youtube's return policy.

sandisk
adata
kingston

pny

transcend etc.
and stay away from ebay.
I have been running one and while it is not stellar I get decent speeds with it. The write speed is 9.4 MB/s and the read speed is 19.9MB/s according to the sdtools app. It is noticeably faster than the class 2 card I was using. I have it formatted with fat32.

hi, i hope this is right place to put this and also to let you know i did do a search of the forum and couldn't find an answer...
i just bought a 32 gb sandisk micro sd card and inserted it into my galaxy s, i have tried to add thing to this via my pc and also via astro on my phone, each time it seems to get a little of the way and then the external sd card unmounts its self (at least i think thats whats happning ) and then i get an error on my pc saying the read/right disc was unreadeable, then my pc says that the external memory needs formatting before i can continue use, if i then go back into my phone i notice te external memory is no longer mounted, this is driving me mad, if anyone can help please do before i throw my phone out the window lol....i am using a rooted galaxy s with 8gb onboard memory
It sounds like you have a bad card. I would return it for a new one.
Let me guess, eGay. . . . .
I have 2 fakes sitting right here. . . . This is a huge scam.
Buy memory from reliable sources only.
my 16Gb card is a 1Gb in reality.
Hmmm...did you make sure that the USB mode is set to debug and then the dial up mode is off. This same thing happened to me last night. Make sure that's done. Restart the phone and THEN plug the cable in. I'm guessing it keeps flipping out and there's a red pyramid in the upper left hand corner?
Bad Memory
I believe you got a "fake" memory. I have experience of this before. A lot of programmer will be able to re-program the card from 2G to 32G or whatever the capacity they want. just google it, there is a free program will be able test it and tell you the real capacity your card has it. if the price is incrediblely low, there will be a problem. if you got it from ebay, just dispute it and get your money back.
Look for the program h2testw, it will tell you actual capacity of your card, likely 64-512mb only.
Yes, scams. You should only buy to respective shops. Sadly some of my friends bought things like 10pcs. Too bad they got scammed. I learned my lesson and it is just somehow like 3-5$ difference.
I'd say stick to Newegg and Amazon for memory purchases.
Which is the best company for 32 gig class 10's
I've bought 8GB and 16GB cards from those Chinese deal sites. They worked out alright. They weren't too experience. But I agree, if you want a 32 GB card, go buy a reliable brand from a credit-worthy source.

I'd say Sandisk is the best quality memory card you can buy. Class 2 and 4 Sandisk work great for WP7 or for running Android off of on a HD2. Class 2 and 4 cards generally have a better random access speed than class 6 or 10 cards. You only want higher class cards for digital cameras where you are writing a lot of file sequentially. For running operating systems where itneedsto read small amounts of data from many parts of the card quickly, a quality class 2 or 4 card works best.

You should test the card with CrystalDiskMark and HD Tach to get the random read and write speeds and random access time. I'm curious as to how the class 10 Lexar rates in those speeds.
If you're looking for a decently priced 32GB class 4 Microsd card backed by one of the biggest and most respected retailers in the world, you can do much worse than this:
http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Class-microSDHC-Memory-TS32GUSDHC4/dp/B004R7P28W/ref=pd_cp_e_1
This is sold by Amazon... not "fulfilled by Amazon" but actually sold by them. So $55.00 buys you the peace of mind of knowing that if there's anything wrong with the card, you can always get your money back. Plus, this is about as cheap as I, personally, have seen legitimate 32GB cards sold for.
Also, buy with Amazon's Super Saver shipping and shipping is free (does take a bit longer, though.)
In any case, this is probably what I'll do when I get around to upgrading my 16GB card for a 32.

The higher the number, the faster the write speed. Class 10 is the fastest I have seen in a 32GB MicroSD card. Here is a link on the class differences:

I ordered mine last night and can't wait for it to get here!
I bought a Patriot 32gb Class 4 for $39 + 1.99 shipping from Frys.com. It was a weekend only sale and I ordered mine like 30 minutes prior to the sale ending that Sunday night (so I didn't have time to mass post the deal here). I've since received it and it works great. I'm using it in my Acer Iconia A500 tablet instead of my Evo though. You'd think that watching hi-res movies on the larger screen of the A500 would put the read speed of this Class 4 card to the test, but the whole experience has been flawless.
If you're in the market for a 32gb card, I'd keep an eye on the usual websites (Amazon, Buy.com, Newegg, Frys, etc.) because they Class 4 cards are starting to get rather affordable. The Class 10 cards are still a bit too pricey for my wallet.

My understanding is that the read speed on most of these cards is going to be fine. It's the write speed that varies most and which is dependent on the Class rating of the card. I've got a 16GB class 2 card in my Nook Color and there's no lag watching movies.

The read speed varies significantly between the card classes as well. The big question is whether or not the hardware (which typically trails behind the media) can take advantage of a card with faster access/read times. I haven't found a utility that can speed test the external SD card in my Tegra2 based Acer A500 tablet, but in a thread on another Android forum, the Evo hardware was shown to take advantage of the significantly faster read times in Class 6 & 10 cards.
All that being said, how fast a read time does anyone really need? I've never felt the need to date to go faster than Class 4 card in any of my devices, for both read and even write times.

I wouldn't mind faster write times on my Nook Color if only to be able to copy movies on and off faster (on my current card it takes between 3 and 5 minutes per 1.5 GB title.) Other than that, yeah... not much reason. I've made lots of videos on my Evo and never noiticed any issues with write speed on my Class 4 card.

Thats not a micro SD
I've got a class 10 16GB card in my evo. AND I CORRECTLY did speed tests through my computer and through the phone. and with the class then, there was a huge improvement on speeds even while it was installed in the evo. Professionally speaking.. I think they should install class 10 in all mobile phones. :-D it will only go as fast as its slowest connection.

so, which would be the best, most stable class 10 micro sdhc card? i can't seem to find a definitive answer, as everyone seems to complain about the cards not being a "true class 10", etc. there are only a few reviews on newegg,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... 600006235 600082443&IsNodeId=1&name=Class 10
and amazon, a bunch of people complain about the speed ratings mot being true.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...32gb+micro+sd+class+10&ie=UTF8&qid=1318260310
which one do you guys have experience with, and would recommend? the kingstons are just out of the question, as i doubt that they'd be worth twice the coin.
It would be nice if you narrow it down to specific cards.
Although there is to note that most people do not need anything past a class 4 which is more than enough to handle day to day transfer between phone and card.
Sandisk seems to be a darkhorse here since they don't really show you a class number and it ranges from 2 - 6 mbps. The best way is to simply test it out with a SD card testing program.
thanks for the response. specifically, i like the PNY and SanDisk, but like you said, sandisk is secretive about their speeds. i don't want to buy, test the speeds, and return if i'm not happy with it. and is class 10 not required for recording HD video on our phones? thanks again
nah, class 10 is not required to record HD video. besides if i remember correctly, the dz only records up to 720p. you should still be fine unless you're shooting a 20 minute video.
There are some reports from people with various issues with Class 10 cards. Its not widespread by any means (plenty of people here seem fine with their Class 10), but it seems that Class 10 have more issues than lower Classes. So some here will recommend Class 4 or 6 (can't remember which) as the highest you should get.
I'd stay far away from PNY if I were you. I've owned 2 PNY products. Not Micro-SD, but an SD card and a USB thumb drive. On the thumb drive, the USB port and memory chip pulled/broke right out of the plastic casing with regular use (not damaged in any way). The thing just looked and felt flimsy. But I needed one in a hurry for a business trip, and I bought what the store had. I figured, its a USB thumb drive, you can get these things for free. How bad can it be? And I was shocked when the thing actually broke apart after a few weeks.
Similarly, the PNY SD card I have split into 2 pieces (along its seams). In both cases (PNY thumb drive and SD card), the memory chip itself still worked fine, and it was just a matter of using some super glue to hold together the plastic casing that failed. But it just displays shoddy and cheap build quality. I own 3 Sandisk Micro-SD cards, and a couple Sandisk SD cards and thumb drives. Never had an issue with any of them, and build quality is much better than PNY.
There is a long thread in accessories with SD recommendations:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042324
DUDE! I had the same problem with the PNY thumb-drive! It was the attache series I think. Anyways yea stick to well known brands that are consistently rated high, sandisk, kingston, adata, etc. Honestly though, class 6 would probably be the fastest you'd need unless your gonna be taking extremely high quality pictures at a very fast speed lol aka multi-shot. But then again I'm not sure our phone is even up too that anyways lol.
I have an ADATA 16GB Class 10 from newegg. Has given me zero issues. I would imagine this is probably the same for the 32gb version.
Not sure if the 32GB would hold up. I found out that I'm not that big of a packrat on the size of the SDcard, so I went with a 16gb instead of paying more for space I'd never use, or take years to accumulate.
h2testw 1.4 log after testing it out when I received it:
Warning: Only 15786 of 15787 MByte tested.
Writing speed: 15.1 MByte/s
Reading speed: 18.5 MByte/s
It was definitely a step up from the 4GB class 4 kingston I was previously using, which was getting write speeds of around 5-6mb/sec. After moving onto the Adata, I noticed speedier loading in the photo gallery like night and day. It used to take 2-3 seconds to load the gallery, especially if it was a big picture folder. Now it takes literally milliseconds to load the content. Of course, this may just be anecdotal and placebo effect, but my general experience with android and sdcards for the last 3 years is on the line about it.
actually i retract the kingston comment, i think they had problems with 32gb class 10 cards specifically now that i recall...

I'm thinking of getting a class 4 myself, don't feel like paying almost +100% for class 10. I'll probably get an A-Data, as it gives a decent price per GB. I'm just torn between 16 and 32 GB
As for Kingston, I think the quality of their products went down a lot in the last two years.

If you look through the thread I linked on my previous response, you will see there are some folks that claim more data corruption issues with 32 Gb cards versus smaller capacities. It seems purely anecdotal. But my point is, don't assume.

For me I bought this off ebay ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/380405008880?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 ) and it has been working great for me. I loaded it up to about 28Gig and had no trouble. Currently I have 10gig free.
I've got the Sandisk 32gb class 10.
But the one from Samsung seems great.
The SanDisk 64GB MicroSDXC is also fully compatible despite the device being a sdhc device. Apparently the protocol differences lie on code and not on hardware.

I agree with Pheno.menon but the price might be worth the shot. Just make sure you use Paypal. I have tried a few of these even named brand and had the file with Paypal to get my $ back. You also want to test the speed if you get get one. I had one marked as a class 6 but wasn't even a class 2. Made the phone freeze up.
I remember reading about a delay when unlocking the screen whenever an SD card was installed. Can't seem to find anything about it now though. Anybody know what I'm talking about?
I get the slight delay but the thing with mine is i get the delay whether my sd card is in or not.

as stated in the op, im a new sd card buyer, so dont bash me lol.... what programs are used to check the speed? ive read on how to see if its legit but not the programs that check them
I remember back in the day on the G1 when you had to run apps to sd and partition your card. I bought a supposed class 6 8gb card on eBay for cheap. It was definitely slower than my Sandisk class 2. I'm using a 32gb class 4 SanDisk I conned my buddy out of his Thunderbolt. Must say so far I like it. Try craigslist. I know I picked up a 16gb for cheap a while ago...
I bought this one from ebay.

I like it so far, when phone boots up it takes about 4-5 seconds to finish scanning the internal and external storage.

so then you got errors using a class 10?
I recently purchased a PNY 32GB Class Ten MicroSD card with SD adapter for about $65. Pretty damn good deal considering the class speed of the card and the SD adapter being thrown in. Been rockin' it for about two weeks and haven't had any problems whatsoever

higher class number means higher write speeds, but that doesn't always mean better read speeds.
IMO higher class cards are better when your doing photography and video stuff
I read my card more often than write to it so a lower class card with better read speeds is better for me.

I got a sandisk 32GB class 4. It is plenty fast enough. I record pics/video to onboard phone storage anyways. I store vids, music, etc on the sd card and it reads very fast. I haven't move any apps to sd card because we have plenty onboard memory.
what's a good price for a 32GB class 4 microSDHC? i've been waiting for about 2 weeks for a deal to be posted on SD, but haven't seen one yet.
amazon is selling a sandisk for $37. i'm wondering is i should just buy this?
Bestbuy has the Kingston class 4 32gb for 42.99? Do you all think that's a good deal? I know amazon has the Sandisk 32gb class 4 for 37, but i has mixed reviews.

Yeah just came across that on slickdeals.
Is the 1saleaday site legit? As far as this being a actual SanDisk card?
Hi everyone. I'm looking to buy a 32GB microSD card to store some music and ROMs and I need some advice on how to find good ones for cheap. I don't really want to go over $25 really so I'm not really looking for Class 10 or anything. But what I don't want is a Class 2. I have found 2 cards that may be good. Can anyone recommend one of these or possibly even something else?
SanDisk Class 4 - $19.99
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004G60AD6?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Polaroid Class 10 - $24.99
http://m.bestbuy.com/m/e/product/detail.jsp?skuId=5559941&pid=1218660314316
Kingston Class 4 - $24.99
http://m.bestbuy.com/m/e/product/detail.jsp?skuId=2603545&pid=1218354912613
Why is the Class 10 Polaroid so cheap? I'm inclined to go for the SanDisk because it's cheap and a good brand and I've also heard that SanDisk is known for having higher write speeds than advertised. Any advice is appreciated.,

About 6 months ago i sprung for a genuine Samsung class 10 32GB SD for my ET4G and i paid about $40 with free shipping from amazon. I got the class 10 because i shoot HD video in 720 and 1080 and i wanted to make sure it had the xfer rate to handle it. If all you're doing is storing files like music and pictures or roms then class 4 is fine. I just bought that SanDisk 32GB for my OG Galaxy tab and its working great. Granted i only read books/manga and listen to music with it and they work great.
I hope this helps in some way towards your decision.

Thank you very much - it does help with my decision. I just want to store my music and some root stuff on it. I'm sick of using Google Music because it drains my battery life streaming from the cloud.
I'd highly suggest going with the absolute fastest you can find.
Why? Because media scanner will run and run and run and run and run, forever, sucking up your battery if you have lots of music files.
I went from a class 4 to a class 10 and it was a huge difference with many photos and MP3 files.
I got 3 of the Polaroid class 10s on sale last month for 19 each. Running fine on my s2 and wife's s3.
I'll just leave this here...

This is the creme de la creme of SD cards. The best deals can be had on ebay for around 30 bucks. If you get it off ebay, make sure the seller has a good rating and it says OEM, because many people try to sell fakes.

This one looks pretty good. Idk if I should spend on getting the top of the top though... I only need something for music/file storage.

What type of speeds are you getting? Trying to figure out if it's genuinely Class 10 or if the SanDisk Class 4 is better
i have a patriot 32gig class 10 using the sdtools from google play i get a bench mark of 6mb write, and read of 11mb/s
i just got my brand new Sandisk 32gig U1 series.. its suppose to be fast.. But
using the same app
my write is still 6 but my read is at 8
I feel i wasted money...
Saw at walmart class 6 32gb for 33.88

I picked up a legit Samsung class 10 32 gb card off eBay a month or two ago for $26 shipped, I would keep an eye on eBay were I you, I got a great deal and am very happy with the card, I'm glad I went with class 10 as well, I've developed an obsession with fpse and roms copy over to it like instantly and I can store a ton of em

I had a class 2 sandisk 16 gb- bought a sandisk class 4 32gb for 11.50 on ebay- GENUINE- in an auction- free shipping- Its good enough- then get the app rom toolbox- speed up your sd reader to 2048- and now you have all that you could ever need- unless you shoot hd video- then get class 10- ( stay away from cheesy brands- the rating may be fudged.. pay for class 10- and getting a lower rating and quality.
I have been using a TOPRAM Class 10 32GB micro SD for about 2 years now, and I have had ZERO issues. I have used it in three different phones, it has been partitioned and formatted many times, wiped, and had a constant amount of data going on, and off of it during the period I have had it, and It still continues to serve me perfectly. they run around $30 with free shipping on Ebay. i was skeptical at first, but after a couple years, it is still the best micro SDHC I have ever owned.
Thank you guys for the advice. I know it sounds stupid but I don't really want to pay $30 for a microSD card, even if it is Class 10 and only $10 more than what I'm looking for. I think I'm just gonna get the SanDisk Class 4 because I'm mainly using it just music storage and ROMs. I'm still keeping an eye out for good deals on eBay though for Samsung Class 10's but most of those seem fake coming from Hong Kong lol.
I just had my 16gb PNY class 10 fail on me, taking out about 200 pictures since I procrastinated on regularly backing it up. I don't think I'll ever use PNY again, beware if you do. When this card was being on sale at bestbuy last year, other people had reported odd issues with theirs but I thought it was just a coincidence. Guess not.
NOTE: Polaroid memory cards are made by PNY.
I have bought 4 of these from this seller. He is not on known fake sources even though in China. Great feedback score and only 15.99 SHIPPPED! He is almost out!

Listing has ended And by known fake sources do you mean that he is for sure not fake? Or are you just saying that he is assumed to sell legit ones because he is not on the list?

Little of both. He is not listed and has been doing EBAY for over a year. Thats a good sign. The better sign is all 4 I received test perfect and do not show the poor ink blotching and off color plastic as fakes. So I feel fairly confident. When fakes are being sold the negative reviews stack p fast. I just looked and it said 3 left? He may get more I hope.
I did search and another seller with them at 23.95 and they are not on negative list. I have not seen them so do not want to refer you if fake. But no negative reviews and also solid account.
