64gb? For what, full length movies? 150$ ? I have seen class 10 (isn't that the fastest) 32gb for as low as $35.99 on Amazon. I'm interested to see if anyone is using these as well....
I bought it for the space. Movies and music. I know I could have picked up a class 10 cheap but I was more interested in the space.
Many people need 32gb or 64gb because they have lots of music. 2 years ago it was alot harder to fill up a phone's sd card. Today how ever if you take a couple hundred pictures a couples 20minute videos and you have used several GB of data. Throw in your entire music collection and a 32gb sd cards maxxed already
Sent From My Epic Touch 3g
So far so good with mine, had it for about 3 or 4 weeks now. I'm using it for all of my Spotify/local music needs as well as the massive amount of pictures I take. Speeds always seem to hover around 6 mb/s write and 8 mb/s read (measured every once in awhile with SD Tools).
The first time I loaded this card into my phone it wasn't recognized right off the bat (never happened with any of my other microsd cards), but a quick format fixed that.
I didn't know that are phones would take a 64GB card. I thought it would max out at 32?

officially no it cant
unofficially you bet your donkeys rear end it can!!!
That is awesome!!! Can't wait to get one
I have one, but can only seem to get it recognized with a FAT32 partition which kind of sucks because FAT32 is limited to max 4GB per file (which means no 720p/1080p movies loaded on this thing). My Asus Transformer Prime also has one of these, but the Prime supports NTFS so I can go hog wild on file sizes.
no offense, but do you REALLY care about watching a 1080p movie on a 4 inch screen?

No, but I do REALLY care not having to wait several hours while the movie re-encodes to a smaller resolution and/or split file that can fit on my phone. And you do realize the Epic 4G touch has HDMI out which outputs to TV quite well, right?
I got mines last week
but the write speed is soo slow
I get about 2mb write speeds on my stock rooted ET4G Ek02
I formatted the card directly thru the phone
could the slowdown be because I rooted?

With an MHL adapter. I might get one for my transformer prime as it has a micro hdmi port on the side. I use google music on my phone so I don't have any use. And even if I do cache with Google music, the damn app defaults to the built in memory.

just a heads up... did a search on this forum for "32GB" and didnt find anything. didnt bother searching "microsdhc" since so many people would have a different way of typing it out that it would be near impossible to find on a search.
anyways, Verizon Wireless seems to have the SanDisk 32GB microSDHC cards IN STOCK and is selling them for $99 online with free overnight shipping. most places havent had stock EVER since it was released a couple of months ago. original retail price on them began at $240 or something.
unfortunately, these are Class 2 only, but generally it's not the card that's the bottleneck when it comes to speed on your device. i popped mine in this morning when it arrived and have had no problems with reading at all; 350mb XviD avi rips of TV shows like Rescue Me and 550mb XviD avi rips of Top Gear all play back flawlessly on my Samsung Vibrant.
write speeds have a bit to be desired, but i cant complain due to faster cards being unavailable. compared to my Class 6 16GB card, it has no ill effects from what i have so far observed while in the device.
cliffs: $99 for a SanDisk 32GB microSDHC from verizonwireless.com with free overnight shipping. normal price from them is $150, but is on special for now... the original deal was $50 off with the purchase of a Droid X, but that seems to have changed for a limited time. cheapest i can find it anywhere else using Google Shopping is $140 before tax+shipping.
Thanks for the heads up. Do a search on Engadget for an article on it (I can't post the link). Apparently it just hit the store 8 days ago.
Still, I dunno. I'm kind of on the fence about getting it due to the price (just dropped $550 on the phone itself).

I think they meant to point out that unless you want to carry around a tiny breakable easy to lose 16gb card in ur pocket or bag and switch out when you need to, having 32gb in one card is more convenient which combined with how newly available the card is, it is quite cheap for the price. You only pay a bit more per GB in this case, normally you'd pay 2-3x more in the beginning for the new highest capacity in flash memory.

I know at least for me, there's never enough space. Unless they somehow manage to offer Terabyte microSD cards. Even the, I'm sure I'd find a sure for it.
Music, movies, games, ebooks, audiobooks, work files, space for pictures and videos, etc.
Do you NEED to have that much stuff on you? No, but it's nice to have access to everthing and worry less about space.
I know I have 14gb of music on my card and that's mostly just ONE genre of music. I have over 150gb of music. And yes, I do listen to all 14gb that I do have on there. It's good to have access to lots of music for parties and get togethers. Remote access is not always a perfect solution.
Again, I don't NEED all the space, but I sure as heck will use it when I have it.
If I had more space, I'd also partition space on my phone for portable apps. Having access to FireFox, GIMP, Openoffice, 7zip, etc wherever I go is a huge plus.

Do you need to be plugged into the PC to get the files off of it? I assume you do, but even if you didn't, think of all the battery power wasted to get the files when you want them. e.g. let's say I am on a bus or stuck waiting for something and want to watch a show or movie on my pc on my phone. I'd need to get on 3g, hope it can all stream fast enough, and the battery would run out super fast using 3g and playing a video all at once.
Also as for the 32gb 16gb argument. I might be able to work with limited storage, but I personally could fill about 5tb or more with anime and movies and tv shows that I'd like, and if I could carry all of that on my phone, and be able to select anything I want immediately and have it right there, that would be amazingly convenient. Therefore as far as I am concerned 16gb, 32gb, it's never really enough, people can always fill more space. However I will deal with having only a 16gb card on my Epic 4G when it comes out.
I thought the max microSD card the phone accepts is 16 gigs as per specs supplied in the manual. Guess those are wrong then? Good to know! Thanks for posting this topic!!

i can fit 20GB of movies, TV shows, and music on a single card without having to connect my phone to a computer to add more.
THAT wont fit on a 16GB card. i dont carry my laptop wherever i go, therefore i dont really have access to any data beyond the 16GB card. maybe you are always near your computer, but i'm not.

none.
i set the removable card slot as the save point for the camcorder app and recorded nearly 7 minutes of video with lots of movement. no issues when recording.
i then played it back using both the built-in video player and eStrong File Explorer's built-in video player and experienced no dropped frames, freezing, or slowdowns, nor did the audio and video go out of sync.
i'm a hobbyist photographer so reliable, fast memory cards are something i'm always on the lookout for. because of this, i've sampled a lot of different brands in the past (i'm always testing different brands to try and find cheaper alternatives for my camera) and have found that SanDisk flash memory cards are consistently much faster than their rated spec. this result with the 32GB microSD is probably no different nor that unusual, based on my previous experience.
if i have some free time this morning and will do some read/write tests of the SanDisk 32GB Class 2 card alongside the original Samsung 2GB card that the Vibrant came with, a SanDisk 2GB Class 2 card, and a SanDisk 16GB Class 6 card i used in my HD2.

i really dont understand how anyone can manage to COMPLAIN about more data space, or that someone bothered to share a good deal they had found. either you people lead unhappy lives or you're lashing out because you're unable to afford one... because there's no logical explanation you can create to support an argument against a 32GB card except price.

the microSDHC spec allows for up to 32GB. it's just taken this long (released in the beginning of this year, or so) for a company to create a chip dense enough to reliably manufacture a 32GB microSD card.
the new spec, microSDXC, will cover sizes ranging from 32GB up to 2TB in the Secure Digital format. 64GB SDXC cards are already available from Panasonic and SanDisk.
Going on a long long trip and only have room for my Dinc.... Will a class 4 card get the job done or do I need to get a class 6?
Thanx!
That really just matters when copying/writing the initial file and on read times.
For video saving or video playback, it might save you and extra few seconds during the save or load times, but it shouldn't matter at all.
I have a 16GB class 2 card, ran the SD card speed test app, and it came out as a class 4 card.
I notice perfectly fine speeds on my card. I never seem to think to myself, "this thing is damn slow." If you do something like sync 500+ songs to the card at one time, sure it may take a little while to initially find them, but after that there's no wait.
Hope that helps.

I just made a post about class and brand in the accessories section. Take a quick look at that. But class shouldn't really save much time unless you are recording really long videos, the most it will save you is maybe 2 seconds TOPS after finishing video recording. My sandisk 16GB class 2 saved videos in 2.5 seconds or less.
ok, thanks for that info. i was under the impression that the write speed of the card was a limiting factor in bitrate/framerate. Therefore I would get better video quality using a faster SD card. I have seen posts where peeps complain about jerky video @ 720p and the class 2 card is most always the culprit.

Well considering it isn't attempting to write the video as it is recording, class does not apply to this. Framerate/bitrate is controlled by the recording software and the camera itself. SD card just stores the finished product.
More for less, or same for more?
Rather than pony up the extra benjamins for a higher class card, why not get the/a bigger 32 Gb class 2 card, like the one from Verizon?

Well it depends if someone needs faster transfer rates or higher capacity, as well as cost difference. 32gb cards are going for 75 to 90 bucks still being that they are still relatively new, while a 16gb class 10 from kingston is about the same price, maybe even cheaper with transfer rates at least 3 times faster than any class 2. All in preference.
So as far as media playback goes, will I notice much of a difference on class 4 vs class 6 on a 32 GB card? The speed difference is really in file location, not playback right?
Basically, yes.

Of lexar, patriot, and topram. I would assume patriot is at least equal to lexar since they make RAM for computers. I know lexar is like a huge flash memory manufacturer though. It's $20 more than the patriot one though. I'm looking at 32GB ones because my FLAC music doesn't like fitting on 22GB between my phone and 8gb microSD card I have now. I'd probably still need a 64GB one if they ever come out though, FLAC is unforgiving in its size, that's the price of quality though.
Funny thing is all the music I'm putting on it is only 18.5GB (and I even added a few bands' discographies worth of music to the list to check size) on it and.. it doesn't really even fit half of it?... Anyway, that blazing 2MB/s average 5MB/s peak transfer speed to my infuse is just incredibly annoying so I'd love to just have a removable SD card with all the stuff that's subject to future hate, such as music.
usually sandisk products are extremely fast and good quality however with your choices, patroit is decent in it quality though.hope i helped.
that's really odd . . .
Kingston works fine for me, but maybe its just my experience
i definitely recommend sandisc. they're awsome
using a 16gb sandisc in my phone, never had problems, and as much as i know they got lifetime warranty?
but srsly, the 32gb products are just too expensive right now. so lastly, i bought a unknown 32gb card for around 40$.
i think its some chinaware, but still i can play flac files from it without problems and no quality loss (i dont hear any quality loss with my UE TF10)
well so, for music only, this unknown 32gb microSD is enough with my cowon j3 so i have 64gb in total for my flacs, but i would never use it in my phone.. i just dont trust it enough.. only sandisc for my phones
Nonononono. I can't buy sandisk because they don't make a class 10 32GB microSD card. I can NOT sit through another 5 hours of transferring my songs to my phone. 10 would at least half the time.
But the weird thing is the media player that came with my phone was playing FLAC songs fine until now and now it's all "This file type is not supported"
Edit: a reboot fixed that... weird

Most of these cards comes with an SD Adapter which you can plug in your laptop, otherwise there are also microsdhc to usb adapters available if you don't have access to a laptop with an sd card reader.
then again there are also options for for multi card readers which are pretty cheap.

Basically, stay away from the cheap eBay auctions for them. You'll often get a fake-brand claiming to be SanDisk, but it's really not.
Stick with legit SanDisk or Transcend.

I'm curious: where would we see the advantage of a Class 10 card on our phones? Outside of copying files to/from them faster, I'm not sure there's anything we're doing on them that would benefit from it. Anything concrete anyone can suggest that I'm not thinking of? The photos aren't anywhere high-res enough to require it, and the camera's not capable of taking them in a fast enough burst mode to need it, and I'm assuming even the 1080p video capture doesn't need it or Samsung would have had an * in their advertising to let us know. So that leaves me to assume I could probably save some money on a lower class and be just as happy...

Class 6 will do just fine. The extra expense of the Class 10 is not worth it right now. As a previous poster hinted to, the phone does not do anything fast enough to take advantage of the full Class 10 speeds.
It might help for initial file transfers if you transfer Movies to it or something like that, but how often do you really do that?

Okay Thanks... should be easier to find that lol. But I don't, I just like the best of the best p
I have also looked around the net quite a bit regarding this issue (is how I came to my conclusion above). One more thing I would like to add is to make sure you buy Retail or from a known good supplier to be safe ... like Newegg... not Ebay or Amazon.
Most quality brand name cards will perform their benchmark tests at or above their ratings. This is why Class 6 is good enough for our uses right now until something better than 10 drops and pushes the 10's down in price. (Look to the future whenever you can get a deal)
Here is Sandisk's information on classes:

I doubt the cameras on our phones are recording at more than 6MB/s.
I would love to see some stats on this though.. you know, in case I'm wrong.
(which I don't think I am)

Sighs, Just might have to drink some wine to help with the pain. Letstalk SUCKS!
It speeds up everything. Application manager loads faster, faster scan at startup, apps in microsd will load faster, transfering/copying files from or to pc/internal memory, ect...
Just saw the new microsd cards rated at class 10 with UHS-1. I know these have been out for just a bit but how many people are actually using these cards? Any success stories or most noticable differences that outway the cost?
"Get faster app performance and advanced photo and video capture for Android™ powered or other smartphones and tablets with SanDisk's Ultra 64GB microSDXC UHS-I Card. With speeds up to 30MB/s and highest available Class 10 speed rating and UHS Speed Class 1 (U1) for recording uninterrupted Full HD video, it's the perfect choice to store your mobile life."
UHS-I is the fastest category of card available today with a bus interface speed of up to 104 MB/s.
Anyone rockin' these?
I've had a UHS-1 64GB microSDXC since it was publicly available. I have a hard-on for extra storage and it's great - It's extremely fast when transferring files and because of exFAT, I can store 1080p 5GB+ movies on it. It's pretty amazing. I do a lot of movie/tv watching with MHL and just on my phone and it works very well. I'm almost full though...
Related story: I have a friend who works at SanDisk who was able to snag one of their prototype 2TB microSDXC's for $1,500. Sadly, they won't be available for consumer purchase for a few years but it still works on his International SGS3. I'll ask him for pictures of the card and a screenshot of the storage space next time I can contact him and put them up in a new thread here.

Did you notice any different load times with external apps? Think I just had a heartattack lol. 2TB?!?! That's more than I have on all my harddrives at home. To be able to put that on my phone... wow.
Thanks for the headsup, can't wait for those!

I never asked him about the read/write speeds of it. All he showed me when he came to my house was that he had the card (it was unlabeled except for texting saying 'SANDISK' and 'A-053' under it) and when he put it in the phone, it said 1996.4GB available in settings>storage. I think if I can ask him to take a video and send it to me and then I secretly upload it to youtube, I'll get a lot of views.

So sad :crying:.. I'll keep dreaming. That brings me to the question of how the heck do you do that? I want to freak out my coworkers ahahah.
Edit: Googled it, could be up to 300mbps, not 30. Also, it should be noted, that was from an article from 2009 that also said that they were, "coming soon." lol.
I believe the current speeds on the 2TB cards are 30mbps data transfer. I just wonder what the price is going to be when they're introduced to the general public. I'm not sure how much I'd be willing to pay...
Look at it this way: If, in a year or two, a 2TB microSD and the PS4 is released, and they're the same price...
I'll be playing my PS4.
