I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good 16 gig memory card for my EVO? I am not to sure what it is I need spec wise to have basically optimal performance.
I don't do much camera or camcorder stuff. I would like to have it so I can run apps off my memory card if the program is capable to free up internal memory.
Thank you,
Whiteice
Take a look around new egg. Go off of the reviews, they are often a good guide to which cards are reliable
Bought mine, Polaroid 16gb, at Fry's for $29 last year http://www.frys.com/product/5885833?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG It has been very reliable and fast.
Patriot is not bad either...

Thank you for the information on the cards. Unfortunately I do not have FRY's near me.
I bought one of the 16GB class 10 Wintec cards off Newegg and it has been really reliable for me. There is a thread about them and some folks had some problems with them, but Wintec is good about replacing them if you do. I have had mine for 2 and a half months and no problems so far. Right now they are on sale for $23.49 + free shipping. Pretty good deal if you ask me. Wintec 16GB c10
If you want a bigger card, Fry's has a 32 gb Kingston for $47 with $13 mail in rebate makes it $35.

I bought the wintec of newegg and it had been pretty good for almost 3 months now and then last night it took a dump. I was able to format and the phone and pc could read it again but I lost over 9 gigs of stuff. And there have been several others on xda that this had happend to. So if u get this one make sure u keep it backed up somewhere just in case.

Do you have the product number on that card? I couldn't find it on fry's website. Thanks.
Edit: It wasn't a micro sdhc card for $34. It was a regular SD card.

Ok so after buying a off brand but legit 16GB card off ebay it failed after a couple months. Since there doesnt seem to be an abundance of 32gb cards and they are currently at a major premium I went with this for $30 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220524. I am happy to report this card performs well above class 4 ratings. Here are the results from Atto:

Newegg dropped the price to 23.99 after a $5.00 mir and free shipping.

I ended up getting this card for free due to some shipping mistakes from Newegg, so I returned my Wintec 16gb which happened to arrive just 1 day later.
So far, it's seems to be pretty good. I had a Transcend 8GB Class 6 micro I was using before this, and the Patriot definitely loads pictures and movies faster.
Great find......just ordered mine.
I figured someone would get a good chuckle out it.
Got my 16gb card in the mail today. Getting ready to install it now.
So far so good. Haven't done the speed test to see the specs but I don't really care. It works good and it holds a lot of data. I'm very happy with it so far.
I was reading another thread and it sounds like a lot of people are having issues with their Wintec card.
Got mine yesterday and works flawlessly. I just ran a write speed test on it and it was consistently writing at 7-8 MByte/s. Not bad at all for a class 4! I'm very happy with it.
Microcenter has these cards in the store for 29.99

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 the stock MicroSDHC card in my Evo at the moment.
I am looking to purchase a Sandisk microSDHC 16gb class 4 or 6 card.
Class 4 would most likely be fast enough for me.
I have been searching around but have heard alot about counterfeits, etc.
Looking to purchase in a blister card as this appears to be the best way to be assured you are purchasing a legit card.
Any recommendations are appreciated.
Kingston is an option as I have also read good things about it.
Again, Legitimacy is a top priority.

This is just my opinion but I only use a-data micro sdcards. The 2 class six cards I got for me and the wife have served me with apps2sd and since before I even had my g1. They are very reasonably priced on newegg.
I just find sandisk cards to be over priced imo. But to be sure you only get quality cards I would buy from either tigerdirect or newegg.

I'll research the a-data cards.
Are they better quality than the transcend cards?
I'm using a 32GB Class 10 from Wintec and it works great. Only ~$85 on NewEgg. With their free shipping, I ordered it Friday morning and got it Monday afternoon.
Wintec Class 10 16GB SDHC for around $27 from Tiger Direct... I can't imagine why you'd go 4 or 6...

Heard something about smart phones can't utilize the speeds that class 10 offers, or something to that effect. So it wasnt worth the extra money that a class 10 would cost.
But at the price you mentioned, the cost is a non factor. Just don't know the quality of Wintec vs. the rest.
I've got several WinTec cards - even have WinTec PC10666 (1333) memory in my desktop - always been happy with the quality.
As far as speed - I'm VERY new to the EVO so I can't speak to whether or not the phone can utilize the extra speed.. But as you mentioned - at that price, who cares... And I will say this - putting large amounts of stuff onto this card vs my older class 4's and 6's via computer is *way* faster.
You can utilize the speed by changing one value in your system files

I agree. One time I bought a 8GB Memory Stick Pro Duo on ebay and everything was looking exactly the same as the original, but it wasn't a authentic memory card. It stopped working after a few weeks and when I started searching I quickly found out that it was a fake card looking at the serial number. The production date was a date way in the future.
Dude I bought a generic card last week on eBay and it failed the first day I bought it. Then eBay removed the listing for some security reasons so I will be getting my money back. Worst piece of crap I have EVER bought. Took photos and instantly corrupt. I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a sandisk. Does the class matter?

Live in France/Netherlands. Tried shipping to europe from US (cheaper with exchange rates but not possible), than UK, in the end they added 15 pounds for shipping. (Micro sd fits in an envelope, why 15 pounds?) Anyway, total is 70 euros.. If anyone had a better suggestions for a sandisk 32 gb card in Europe, please tell me!
Thanks
Edit: many of the reviews on amazon are implying its a knockoff as well. My budget is around 60 euros, for a class 2 or higher sandisk. Should be possible right?

Got a sandisk class 4, which does everything, even full hd recording and playing. Random writes are better than class 10 cards. So overall its the best choice. Got it from an official reseller in Holland for 43 euros. Overall very very happy with it!
I would stick with the amazon one's, They are too many fake one's on ebay..

Its very weird, the class 4 is cheaper than the class 2, but it is an offcial one, official package, official speeds (a bit more actually) and a real 32gb card, no ripoff. I think they made a mistake with the pricing and switched the class 2 and the 4

Actually it's "Recertified". Meaning that it was returned for reasons other than a defect (most likely incompatible purchases by customers). In order for them to re-sell an open-box item, they need to Recertify the product. They are most likely new, or used once or twice then returned.
"Refurbished" items are items with defects returned, repaired, then resold.
Got one... been meaning to replace my 8GB card in my phone now. Thanks for the link!
sssswwweeettt!!!!!!thanks, man!!!
Killer deal! Ordered mine. Thanks so much!
It is an "alright" deal, the 16gb is great but the class 4 part is kind of a let down.
All in all great post and I ordered one anyways lol but I got a 16GB class 10 from Frys for $19.99.
Every SanDisk card I have tests above the rated speed. Every non-SanDisk card I have tests below the rated speed. I don't put too much stock in the class ratings as most manufacturers (except SanDisk) inflate their card's performance.
its a card FOR YOUR PHONE
as powerful as our phones are trust me the OS will be the bottle neck before a class 4 card is the bottle neck

What do you guys think is the best combo of space / speed / price? Basically is a class 4 card going to be indistinguishable from class 6+? How many if you actually use more then 16GB?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
class 4 is PLENTY for a phone. the only think you should be looking for is best bang GB per buck.
$8 for 16gig shipped "AND" a reliable quality name brand (sandisk) is a no brainer.
the only time you really need more speed is if your transffering massive content VIA A READER to the card daily.
if your TX'ing through the phone's USB card speed over 4 does not really matter since your bottle neck will be the phone hardware not the card hardware.
This was a decent deal but kind of disappointed in the fact that mine hasn't shipped yet and I ordered it last week. Not that I really care because I have a class 10 16GB in my E4GT now.
WTF lol.
