Any lower?

beware of fake one's on ebay.. I'm just saying...

What's the difference of the fake ones? Life expectancy? Reliability? I was looking at maybe a little over $100 dollars. I don't understand why they are so expesive. I purchased a 32GB SD card for my Netbook for $60 made by HP. Hasn't failed me yet.

From what I've read, the fake one is actually a 4gb or something, and then changed the info to show 32gb. So you copy data to it, looks like it will work, but when you try to access it, it will show corrupted files.
I wouldn't take a chance on corrupted files

Before I jump on this what are you guys input. Check out the link. Looks fishy to me. I'm pretty sure it's a knockoff Sandisk.

I'd recommend getting a 16GB Class 6 for around $60. When faster, cheaper 32GB cards come out, then upgrade to that.

yea i agree i just did a quick ebay search...prices should come down soon

i am getting a 16gb for now. my 8 barely has 5 GB on it, but i know i will shoot more video and play more music with the evo. just pulled the trigger... new egg has transcend 16gb class 6 for 69.99 shipped. when the 32s come out, i will pop the 16 into my wife's phone or our digital camera

What do you guys think of that "Sandisk" 32GB card? Should I buy it or are you guys a little skeptical?

I actually bought three Sandisk 32gb on ebay the other day, kept two and sold one. I was skeptical because they were fairly cheap, but they came in what looked like official Sandisk packaging and I was able to transfer 26gb of data, movies, etc and accessed all info perfectly on both my HD2 and Nexus One. I would not even think about touching the $18 ones...

Wait.. So is it a YES (I should buy it) or NO I shouldn't.

What I was saying is that the ones I'm selling are legit and cheaper than the guys selling for $385 and $395. Go look at the completed items and you will probably see the one that seems like a fair price. I would not purchase one if anyone is selling them for less than the $199 MSRP because they are probably fake including the $18 ones.

I'll throw $60 your way and a bunch of high fives if I can have it for that price. Hell I'll throw high fives for everyone.

Do not buy the 32gb cheap knockoff on ebay. Ask them what is the formatted size and what class it is and see if you even get an answer back.

weedahoe, I agree, definitely ask that first. The ones I bought/sold were formatted to 29.7gb and class 2...

What does class 2 mean? How is it different from class 6?

Kingston 32GB microSDHC (class 6) - is it real?

I have just bought this for my Desire:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/32GB-KINGSTON...AsAccessories_MemoryCards&hash=item230c6c00d1
(scroll down a little cuz the listing is over, but u still can see the description)
It says that it's a brand new 32GB class 6 microSD card by Kingston, but I could not find anything about it on the net. The only 32GB Kingston cards I could find were class 4.. so, can it possibly be a fake? The seller is with 100% positive and is from UK.. What do you guys think? Maybe it's sort of a new product still to be introduced or something?

Chances are is it not a class 6 as Kingston does not list it as a product available from them.

10 Year Warranty ? I 've never heard As far as i know here we only 've 5 years Warranty for SDCards I don't know much about UK One

Well, I'd take it even if it was a class4, I would be disappointed though. I'll of course let you know about how it all went when the card arrives.
More opinions perhaps?

Sounds like a scammer.
Most high classed cards on eBay that are sold cheap usually are scams.
Say like you bought a 16gb card.. It would come as 3gb.

Well, then I just return it, and eBay offers buyers' protection, so I don't think I will lose a lot. Also, that seller really has sold a lot of things, has been on eBay since 2008 and has 99% positive feedback.. Do you really think he could be a scammer?
Also, 30 pounds is not THAT cheap, is it?
Here is feedback on the seller: http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=viraldarshna&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller
As you can see, I'm so hoping this is actually a good deal and not a problem sending things back and so on..

That is extremely cheap.
16gb cards go from 70+ USD (52 euros)

I bought one as well - mine is coming from Japan however =)
Ebay item=220707787049 (I'm not allowed to post outside links yet since this is my first post.
True though that Kingston does not seem to have such a product... we'll see when it gets here =) If you get it sooner, could you post a speedtest?

Yeah, I'll do that. Hope we both get lucky with these cards..

Yeah me too. Mine has just been mailed, in about a week I'll report back =)

well.. I bought a similar item, a Kingston 32gb Class 6 SDHC. It was cheap, so I had to try. Got it today, and tried a few speed tests, and only got about 2 mb/second
made a complaint on ebay, and the seller is now offering me to send him the card back, so I can get a refund... I'm more interested in seeing, if this really is a 32gb card.. so I start to copy... this is going to take a while, so I will be back with more results later

So, is the capacity real?

Ok, so I got the card. The markings look cheap and fake, the packaging - too. But the card is indeed 32GB. And, of course, not class 6. Mor like class 4, though at the very beginning the writing speed was less than 4MB/s. I can't make up my mind if I should keep it. If it's really a class 4 card, it's okay. But I'm afraid that it may corrupt my data or eventually go bad.. So, is it safe to call it a class 4 card? What would you guys do, would you keep it? Rememeber, it's price was under 50 bucks, so maybe it's worth the bet?
I attached the benchmark of it.

Ok so, isnt there some benchmark that tests if the full card is undamaged and writable? If it isnt, you still got a cheap 32 gb card... right?

Don't know if this test tests that. Dunno any other tests u can run on Ubuntu either.

It turned out to be a complete fake with less than 5GB available.. He is not getting his money. And nor is he getting that piece of **** back, for it belongs in a trash can.
I hope those *****es rot alive.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully I will be a bit luckier. I'll report back when I've received mine...

I bought that exact same card.
When the card arrived it was slow (around 1-2Mo/s instead of 6+) but after only 3 days of regular use it stopped working.
It wasn't recognised anymore by any reader (tested in PC, Wii, camera and Android phone) and I couldn't even format it.
So I had a close look at it and noticed the product number was SDC4/32GB which is in fact the product number of Kingston's class 4 32GB micro SD. (since they never produced any class 6 32GB micro SD, only class 4 and 10). Also the inscription was a bit different from what I could see on goole image for Kingston microSD.
Finally I sent it back to the seller who gave me back my money.
Here's a pic of the card: http : // hpics.li/09be9f2
Edit: As far as my opinion goes: this card was a fake, although it's just me and I can't really prove it.

Your picture is a proof.

So I just received mine as well, package looks real but no idea if it is... Will test it tonight, no computer nearby...

Does class 10 micro SD speed up my device?

Hi friends,
I want to buy a 32gb micro sd card but didn't decide to its class. As you know most of our sd cards have class 4 speed but i wonder if class 10 speeds up my desire z. I think i will move all my apps to sd. Would you buy class 10 and pay more or class 4 and pay less?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speeds
So no, in our case, there won't be a difference between using a Class 10 vs a Class 4. It would be in your best interest if you got a 32GB Class 4 and save the cash then get a Class 10 and not use the speeds you paid for.

So which brand is the best for us? I don't want to pay more. I have searched eBay and found no brand oem cards which are cheap...

Most electronic components are all made by several manufacturers. Companies buy from them and brand it as their own. Example: all consumer graphic cards for computers are either of nVidia or AMD/ATI. When you go shopping for one, however, there is Zotac, EVGA, Sapphire, BFG, Asus, etc.. but they're all just rebrands of the original.
My point being is that there is no such thing as 'best brand'. Sure some brands give you better warranty/service, but how much warranty/service are you going to need on a SD card? Just find the cheapest 32GB one you can find and take it.

DO NOT waste your time buying a Micro-SD card from eBay. Many of them are counterfeits, and you unfortunately have no way of telling the legit ones from the frauds. The counterfeits are skillfully mislabeled to depict higher Class and GB capacity then they actually are capable of, and will even report the "wrong" GB capacity on your phone or PC. For instance, a 2 GB card will be misrepresented as 32 GB, and even say on your phone and PC that its 32 GB. But when you actually try to move files, it will be okay until the 2 GB is used up, then you will get an error.
If you look around the Accessories subforum, you will find several posts by different folks who have been ripped off this way. Stick to legit vendors. Not sure who you have available in your area. But Newegg is reliable, does not sell counterfeit goods, and have excellent customer service if a return is needed for some reason.

Your video card example is not correct. While Nvidia supplies the GPU chipset and has a reference design for the card, the manufacturers you mention almost always diverge from the reference design, and come up with their own card layout, cooling solutions, and do the remainder of the manufacturing.
And while SD memory is probably only actually manufactured by a finite number of several companies, it doesn't mean that they are all the same quality. I've used at least 3 different cards from Sandisk, with no issues, and many other Sandisk buyers will tell you the same. If you read posts from people with SD issues, its almost always from the lesser known, cheaper brands (or counterfeits bought on eBay, as I mentioned in my post above). My recommendation is Sandisk.
You can try for cheaper brand to save a few bucks, and you will probably be fine. But the difference in cost is not significant to me, compared to the potential hassle of losing my data and having to exchange SD cards due to problems. Better to spend a little more, and never have to worry about such things.

Lexar 16 gig Class 10

So I just ordered a Lexar 16 gig Class 10 SDHC off of Ebay. It cost 20.50 with free shipping and handling. It had some pretty okay specs listed. Has anyone every tried this brand of sd card? I figured for the price it can't be that bad

Haven't heard anything really negative about Lexar, so hopefully it's good.
But you have to be careful with those cards off of ebay, you can often get fakes. Make sure you check it right when you get it (use something like what's discussed here: How to spot a fake SDHC card... I believe there are also apps in the market).
Again, hopefully it'll be all good, but if there's any trouble, hopefully you can report it to ebay and get a refund.

Thanks bud! Will do! I heard of fake items like SD cards and batteries on there but the seller seemed pretty authentic. Worse comes to worse I'll return it

Thanks for the link, definetly good info. I'll be checking my card tonight.

Finally came in today at about noon. So far so good. Seems snappy. I'm going to run a speed test and post the results

So it is a legitimate learn card? I got 16gb class 4 thinking it'd be fast enough but it's not. Time to upgrade again
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

I am looking into one of the class 10 as well, currently on a 16gb class 4, and i cant tell a speed difference from the Class 8 i had in previously, i think its worth the investment, just makes things like the gallery and titanium run faster

[Q] sd cards dilema

hey guys am looking to purchase a memory card but ive ran into a bit of a problem
these are the memory cards ive been looking at
this one is a sandisk ultra micro sdxc
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-mic...keywords=sandisk+micro+sd+64gb#productDetails
and this one is a sandisk extreme micro sdhc
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-SDS...sr=1-5&keywords=sandisk+extreme+micro+sd+64gb
now the ultra is 64gb and the extreme is 32gb as thats the price range am willing to spend now the question is, is it worth it getting the extreme card as at the end of the day yes it has a higher transfer speed but its smaller than the ultra and for a mobile phone will i notice a difference in the transfer speed is it worth it getting the extreme one over the ultra? what do you guys think? as i carnt really afford the 64gb extreme memory card at the moment

micro SD
Currently I'm running on 64gb ultra from SanDisk, and it is fast enough for everything You would do on mobile device such as HTC One M8. If I was You, I would go for 64gb if You have them in more less same price range.
Two days ago I brought on popular auctions site extreme ver. of same 64gb micro SD I'm using currently, still waiting for parcel. It is from HK, so it might take up to three weeks to arrive, but if You want I can report back here (compare them both in every day use), price was very tasty like for 64gb.
The bottom line is, it all depends what You will use that card for. Do You need 64gb of extra storage, will You have dual boot, etc. I can't really see much difference between ultra and extreme in every day use.

no worries buddy il be using the memory card for storing pictures on and playing music that will be stored on the memory card am not doing fancy things with the phone like dual boot or custom roms or anything as am happy as the way it runs stock tbh

I'd probably go with the same advice. As long as the card is fast enough for Zoes (which Class 10 should be) its good for anything on the phone. And double the capacity for £7 looks like a good deal.

I'd be very cautious about buying SD cards from auction websites, or any source where the reputation is at all questionable. Sites like eBay are awash with counterfeit SD. Its just too easy to mark a card as higher capacity or speed class and jack up the price. The cards will even read the "fake" capacity on your device, but fail when you try to move files exceeding the actual capacity.
Personally, I would rather spend a bit more at a reputable vendor like Amazon or Newegg rather than worry about such things. Vendors that reliably deal genuine goods; and have a solid customer support reputation on the off-chance that something does go wrong.

Well, still looking for 64gb one due to eBay member I brought them from was thrown out from site. Had my money back. Personally I like to buy things like SD cards from countries where they are made, in most cases You will have free P&P, and if You not tight with th time it is the best deal out there. This time I went for bit dodgy seller only because the price , it was very low - so I was prepared to loss all money. But if You have some sellers there who after 5000 - 10000 of sold items still have 100% positive feedback - You can't go wrong there. I used to sell on site like eBay, and I know it is very hard to make some people happy, even ed hen You will do everything right.

I have an unbranded 64gb class10 I got on eBay for about 10$ and its fantastic, the transfer speeds are are expected for a class 10 too.
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=151417801693&alt=web Plus the seller says they will replace it if it doesn't work properly. I have mine filled to about 75% about 47gb and have recommended the seller to at least 5 personal friends who all bought at least one and are satisfied. With eBay follow the seller rating if a seller has 500+ reviews with only a few naysayers then you should be fine, also look into return policies pick a seller who has a good rating, good return policy and good prices and your golden.

I'll agree with that (as well as some of the similar statements in the post above yours). I mentioned being cautions buying from vendors with questionable reputation. But obviously, eBay rating (especially very high, with a decent number of transactions) qualifies as "reputation".
And yes, I would not even bother buying products like this unless their is a good return policy. You also have to weight in the time/hassle of such returns, particularly for foreign sellers (not applicable in your case). For me, I'd often prefer to just buy from a vendor like Amazon or Newegg, where I know the probability of even needed to utilize their return policy is low. Just my preference, I'd rather spend a little extra to not have to worry about the time and hassle of a return. But I also recognize that everyone has different preferences in that regard.
