Hi guys i've a crappy cheap class 6 team group sd card that started failing on me. I've near me on the stores the new sdcards by samsung. Is samsung sd's a good choice ? What do you guys recommend.
Price: 8gb Class6 ( 11€, i find cheap )
( I need a good sdcard class 6! For d2sd and a2sd )
For a phone? As cheap as you can get it, Aslong as it works who cares

Actually thats not really correct. A few of the cheap ones on the market are not the capacity/class they claim to be. Some are corrupted and don't even work. Samsung make good cards, or just stick with a quality brand name, like sandisk, kingston etc and you should be ok.

I got this one about a month ago. No problems and works brilliantly.
I am pretty sure with known brands like A-DATA, Kingston, Samsung or SanDisk you cannot do anything wrong.
yeah Sandisk is pretty decent. I'd recommend it. Specifically Sandisk Mobile Ultra 8gb Class 6

Team had a nice Micron D9 modules back in the day, so I'd hardly doubt they are crappy brand. Hardware fails from time to time no matter who makes it.
I've got a Lexar and it works pretty good. There is a thread in the general section about sd card speeds and it seems to me Sandisks seem to run a fair bit quicker than what they are actually rated.
Sandisk is pretty good.
However, I just got myself an A-Data 16GB class 10 card- pretty satisfied with it.

I have spent the last week looking for a good 16gb class 6 card, but so far everything I find has reviews of them being slow or dying fairly quickly.
Is anything over class 2 just unreliable? Is there any company that makes a decent 16gb class 6?
What are your experiences? Any recommendations?
Any help would be much appreciated.
I've had my SanDisk for about a year and a half with no issue. It's not ridiculously fast or anything but has been reliable.

I have the same one. It's fast enough, but I've only had it a week, so I can't attest to it's long-term reliability yet,
It partitioned just fine and is working perfectly with Fresh and Darktremor Apps2sd.

I've had mine since late June and I have had no problems with it. *knocks on wood*
Thanks Everyone!
I think I'm going to try the Transcend or maybe a Sandisk Mobile Ultra if i can find a good price.
If there's ever a chance you'd want to do apps2sd or apps2ext (on the sdcard) then Kingston is a BIG fail. More times than not it gives issues. I've experienced this first hand and if you Google around for a while you'll see lots of android issues with Kingston's (which I did after running into speed issues with apps2ext).
SpaceMonkey.....
the problem is the very nature of the beast. a MicroSDHC card, at this point in time is just not capable, for the most part, of what we call Class 6 speeds.
I personally have not tried the Sandisk 16gb C6 card but i use their SD and CF cards in my canon dSLR's and though you pay a premium you get what you paid for. if you can handle the $60 bucks for one grab the one from Newegg.
i highly highly doubt you will see C6 speeds, the technology of C6 mSDHC just isnt there, but i would wager it is faster than all the others. and more reliable.

do all brands have to conform to the class 6 standards?? b/c topram class 6 cards (16gb) are ridiculously inexpensive...just check out amazon or elsewhere.
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.
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.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...11&cm_re=micro_sd_32gb-_-20-161-411-_-Product
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.

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.
what do you guys think of this brand? decent? new time sd card purchaser...

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.

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.

amazon is selling a sandisk for $37. i'm wondering is i should just buy this?

Hi I've been looking on amazon, play.com etc for a 32gb sd which will make my desire fastest to try and keep it feeling new and not like an old phone.
There's so many different manufacturers of cards and types, like SanDisks ultra series which comes with some kind of acceleration yet is only class 6, but may not be as good as a class 10 of another brand. All the different options are confusing for me so I was wondering if I could get some advice from you guys please?
Many thanks!
i have a Samsung 16GB sd card and it work fine
i buy it on ldlc 35€

but on desire its slow write 7,8 mb/s read 18 mb/s
I have two from play.com first card I used was PNY 16GB class4 witch worked great, but then wanted a class 6 and I got the Samsung 16GB class6 witch using now its superb. 7-8 write and 22mbs read.
If you want a cheaper one, go for A-Data.
any class 10 should be fine. I am using the one in my signature, no probs at all, pretty speedy and was cheap too as terepin wrote
I'm using a class 4 8 GB Kingston Japan and it works very well (I get about 8 MB/s read/write). I guess I got lucky
My A-DATA 16 GB Class 6 also working very well in desire.

Question is: What is your average use? Music, clips, pics, programs etc. And if you sync your phone and move extremely large files, I would definately go for a faster SD-card. When moving huge files, it takes alot space _and_ time, so a fast SD would be pretty relevant. They go for pretty cheap prices as well on Amazon If you look.
