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...

Lexar 32gb micro SDHC class 10 card...failx2

ok so I am now about to be on my 3rd 32gb Lexar class 10 micro sdhc card. I am thinking that the first two since they were in the same shipment batch that they were just a bad bunch of cards. Just wanted to put the warning out there to you guys. My cards will just show up as corrupted and will not mount. Having to use a forensic software to pull all the non-backed up stuff off right now.
Anyone else having any problems with them?

I havent tried Lexar but I did buy a 32gig Class 10 Patriot and it has worked flawlessly so far

I have the lexar one and it works fine.

just warning you...37 days into this card and it failed....the first one lasted a little over 2 weeks.
back up, thats all I am saying

I got one coming... i'll see how it goes

Thx. I decided to try the Patriot version instead (not that it has any better reviews, but a few Atrix owners have reported success with it). Cheers.

Been running lexar since first week had the phone, no problems yet. What batch yours come out of? Also, ordered from provantage, shipped from new jersey or georgia one, will have to double check.

couldnt tell ya. I do know it was the very first shipment of them that came into our store like a week or two after CES. Im just thinking it was just a bad first batch. 3rd one is going fine so far...

I got mine through Beach Audio via Amazon. It's been working fine so far.

I got my Lexar class 10 a few weeks before the Atrix, it has been in the phone since the first boot and has worked great.

There is a known issue with micro sdhc cards with the atrix. Just like with the windows phone. Motorola is supposed to be coming out with an update to fix the issue.

What kind of prices are you guys finding on these SD cards? It seems silly to me to buy a single 32gb card for $100~ when you can get 3-4 16gb cards for the same price.

I have friends at Moto and this is the first i have heard....
please offer even a shred of proof regarding your statements....
I know many people with Atrix and SD cards and NO issues.
Link to anything that mentions this known issue - this is nothing like Windows 7 -where the SD card slot was blocked at release.

The highest capacity model of any data storage device always has a higher per unit of storage cost than lesser models... but it also holds the most. You've got to pay to play.
If you wanted to have access to 32 gb of data, you wouldn't want to be swapping out two 16 gb cards as needed to get that capacity would you? To me, that seems silly.

And I understand that. For me personally, taking 15 seconds to swap an SD card isn't really a big deal, especially since with this phone (thank science), the card slot is easily available under the battery cover, instead of the battery itself.
But, if I can get a decent price on a 32gb card I'm all for it. The price difference just doesn't seem worth it (to me) to save the 15 seconds

If you want to carry all 32gb with you, where di you put the extra 16gb card? It gets old remembering to put accessories in your pocket.

Anyone else getting VERY SLOW transfers speeds with this card? Average I'm getting is 3.5mb/sec which is well below normal!! Therefore, it takes awhile to transfer a movie from my PC.

Like I said, it's really all about personal preferrence. I carry a shoulder bag around with me everywhere I go, so remembering accessories isn't really an issue. I always have my Lapdock, charger, bluetooth mouse, etc. with me at all times. This phone replaced any need I had for a netbook.
Still no word on prices people have got for these?

32 gb micro sd doesn't work after first try

Hi there,
i bought via internet an 32 gb "brandless" micro sd card,after i put it in my htc desire hd it recognized it...i connected the phone too my p.c and started putting all of my other music and gamefiles on the sd card,after that the connection crashed and it could not read the micro sd card...i have an idea that it is fake...even on a card reader it does not work......afterall i whas wondering if anyone of you experienced this kind of "bull ****"...
greetz from holland to you xda people have a nice day

Yup, sounds like a fake to me - this sort of this is incredibly common unfortunately. IMO you should ALWAYS buy sd cards from reputable dealers - even if it was branded it could have been a fake if you bought it from some dodgy website or from ebay.

Always use what everyone else is using.

Maybe your flash card is much less often you will want the memory, but it is programmed to show you "32Gb", to deceive the buyer. Or just a bad memory chip blocks. In any case, use the program for low-level formatting, such as "SDFormatter"

Mostly brandless micro sd card is bad quality, but some of them is good. I buy brandless micro sd card 16 gb with my friend, mine is good but my friend's one is bad condition, can copy file to it but when put this sd card to phone all files are gone.

Hard to know!
U really got to be cerfull with all the fakes out there buy 32gb sd:Es from well knows stores not ebay

I would also try to format it. If this does not help forget it. It's most likely broken.

You have to trust where you can buy these cards!!! Bought mine from wireless wave. And everything is all good <3

I've seen so many "sd card deals" over the years but never bought one because none of them were worth it. But this one, this is the one.
Awesome find.

I don't get it...there are a few class 10 32GB SDHC cards on newegg regularly priced like this. What's the big deal? Is Samsung normally more costly?

I ordered one maybe because my phone samsung too. Lol

Generally, Samsung cards are of very high quality. Not sure if you've ever used one but they are very reliable and are made to work. The class you pay for is the class you get.
There are other reputable card manufacturers of course, but with the widespread availability of them now, there is a much higher risk of a fake or being duped with a low class one.
As far as I know, rip off samsungs are rare if even in existence. I could be wrong.

As someone said Samsung makes good quality card, and this one is Class 10 so its speedier. I don't understand the shock/water resistent bit. Isn't flash memory shock resistent by nature?

I own this card and it is specifically rated for 1080p vid plaback and top transfer rates. You have to look beyond that someone stammped "Class 10" on thier card. If you don't believe me, buy a Wintech card and tell me how its treating you when your data is just gone one day and the card cannot be reformatted.
I payed $50 for this card and it is worth every penny.

Aside from phones, Sdc cards are used in cameras. Some of those cameras go unser water and some are mounted on the helmets of xtreme sports participants.

Got my card in the mail today. What kind of speed test results do you get (using SD Tools)? I'm showing 5.1MB/s write and 8MB/s read. I also don't see any "card info" when in SD Tools. Was hoping I could see manufacturing information and a serial to prove this isn't a fake Samsung...
Real-world writing yields about 10MB/s write.
I always thought Micro SD cards were faster... then I remembered that just full-sized SD and CF are even remotely fast!

Be careful with this item!! Just read the reviews and it's apparently a fraud!

Fantastic find, I'd buy it if I didn't already have a 16 GB SD card...

Got my card today I am really happy that I bought this. It came unopened with it's original samsung packaging. Comparing with the one I bought from amazon... check the pics below.

Mistaken entry.

Ordered mine about 4/5 days ago and received it today. Although I had a 16GB (not from Samsung) and didn't use all of it up, I still went ahead and got this. Can't go wrong with it, glad I got it.

I got 10.22MB/s writing and 32.16 MB/s reading using the SD Card Tester app.
Transferring music over seems to be a lot slower than it was using my 2gb card though. Is there a preferred way of introducing a new sd card to the android operating system?

SanDisk Ultra 64GB microSDXC ($47.99)

I have ordered the 64 GB from Amazon twice and they both failed at 12GB, so I returned them. I saw this sale at BUY.COM and it says they are an authorized reseller, so I ordered one. It is only $47.99, shipped.
http://www.buy.com/prod/sandisk-ultra-64gb-microsdxc-card-with-adapter-class-10-u1/230276145.html
They also have a 32GB for $21.68
http://www.buy.com/prod/sandisk-32g...-sd-sdhc-card-with-card-reader/217036937.html

Did you buy an item that was sold by Amazon of from another vendor on Amazon? Did you suspect that the cards you bought were fakes or did you just get bad ones. I would be wary of buying this card again if I had two failures unless I could attribute the failures to being a fake Sandisk and I was sure that the 3rd was the real deal.

Nothing about the first two gave me the feeling they were fake. The first one I purchased from the Amazon Market, the second direct from Amazon. While copying files on my PC, they both started out at the same speed as my old class 4 16GB card. by the time they made it to 12GB, they had slowed to a crawl and then completely failed. At that point, they both died and couldn't even be formatted.
I will give it one last try with BUY.COM, if I have the same issue again, I am sending it back and buying a 32GB card.

Hi there,
if you like to know I am right now in the same situation. I buy a Sandisk microSDXC 64GB and the first time I put that card in my OLD card reader the PC recognize the card immediately, so to test the card I start copy a file .iso of 6.5GB into the card and then completely failed less than 6.5GB. Now I can't format the card, no way. I try with SD Formatter 3.1, HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.1.8, Gparted Live, CMD from Windows 7, no way to format the card. I can only delete the wrong partitions. All the app see the full capacity card but I can't format the f....ng card. I made few research and somebody said I have to have Card Reader fit in with SDXC. All the devices which you use have to be compatible with SDXC, if not you have problems. That is not what I say, that is what the other people saying. I just don't understand why my PC recognize the card with my old card reader and then failed to copy the file and now I can't format the card, something wrong with this stuff.
Anyway, to be fully sure I buyed the Mobilelite G3 Kingston Card reader so I let you know when I get it if something change!
I hate this stuff, but I need this stuff!

Today I received the reader SDXC, no luck, all the same, I have to send back the card, so probably was not the reader the problem, this cards are **** and I don't know why?
If anyone know something about this cards, please let me know, thanks.

which device do you use? Do you formatted the card in different system file (NTFS, FAT32)? The old device see the card?

I purchased the 64gb card. used the adapter that came with it and it was recognized by my PC immediately (used the PC to format in exFat).
I also had another USB style adapter that I used to plug my old 32gb class 6 card into. I had that connected to my PC as well.
Then i just transferred all the files from the 32 over onto the 64 using my PC, and popped the 64gb card into my phone after the files were all transferred.
I can plug my Galaxy 3 into my PC using USB and it'll recognize by my card memory and phone memory separately.
