32gb micro SD card

Where is the best place to get it what is the best one and what is the best price any thoughts

go to pricewatch- see what you can find.. don't forget to go to resellerratings to confirm legitimacy though

Avoid the Ebay sellers, the fakes seem to turn into mini coasters in no time. Read here for more info.
There may be other non-fake deals out there, but coupon codes and rebates may be the best avenues to search.

I still don't know why they just don't have sd card slots on phones, I mean you could easily fit them in a phone.

It would definitely be nice to have a slot on the side our something. Everytime I take the back cover off I feel like its about to break.

My mistake, Amazon always throws me for a loop with similar deals...but manages to slip full size sdhc cards in there. $149 is the cheapest I have seen for a 32GB MicroSD.

Seems there are not that many out there below $200 from reliable sources. I'd only suggest Ebay if it's someone you've bought from prior and have faith that they're an honest seller.

This looks like a good deal from a reputable company:

I'm gonna wait for Class 6 myself, could be a while though

mine is in OH if u see my above post ull see pretty fast they shipped it for 149 total no shipping charge and they shipped DHL international express so not bad i should have it tomoro or next day
edit: DHL is out for delivery cant wait to get my 32gb then i can put most of my music on finally

A regular SD card is nearly 5 times bigger. That is alot of room in a phone that doesn't have much in the first place.

Just got mine ;-)

Ouch.. I am 95% sure that you just bought a fake. You may want to try to contact San Disk to try to verify authenticity.
Here is a wiki that shows the physical differences between a real card and a fake. If you are able to confirm that the card is fake you may be able to get your $150 back, especially if you paid with a credit card. Although the physical differences are negligible, I have had all three fake Hong Kong sd cards that I bought turn up as duds after 3-6 months of use.

Yeah the fake ones are all over the place due to the hong kong shuffle (where they sell a factory rather than refit it to produce new products). QC goes down but realistically they are the same product. But they do tend to fail and warranties are non-existent, so watch out for that.
But the comment about waiting for a class 6 card... here was my deal. when you read the reviews about the different classes of cards you will find that most of the time the sandisk and really high-end name brand class 2 cards will out perform the cheap class 6 cards. Yeah yeah I know they are given those ratings based on their speeds but in the real world a lot of those class 2 cards will get 8-12mbps speeds in their real world reviews by cnet and others. Just throwing that out there. I myself will stick with class 2 since i couldnt even notice a tiny bit of speed difference in both my hero and evo when switching to class 6 from class 2.

regardless, you should do a check to verify its authenticity. there is a website (in red text and white bg- dunno the name) that you should go see.
DL their software and run it to ensure its not some 8GB hidden with 32GB written on it to cover up.

ummmmm
Ok you can keep spending money on ridiculously overpriced SD cards or you could buy them from Newegg.com I just bought a 32gb Kingston sdhc card Class 6 for 125..... I've bought lots of computer parts from them over the years and they are a great electronic parts site.

16GB MicroSDHC $29

No this isn't one of those 32GB for $20 thread but it's a known MFG at a reputable website (I've ordered from them a number of times). Best deal I've been able to find.

Newegg has this one for $45
And before you get caught up on that Class 2 vs Class X, there is no rigid adherence to this standard. Search the web and you can find examples of Class 2 cards spanking so called Class 6 cards etc... For a phone this is fast enough.

fry's ftw. Thanks for the link

Thanks for the links everyone!

Boy I don't know a class 2 card kinda sucks. Although 30 bucks is a good deal. Thanks OP.

I just don't get it. We all buy a truly awesome phone. (This is my first Android OS phone. I was using Palm Treo's with Windows; 700wx and 800w.) But yet, all the threads about putting cheap components in it. I fully understand trying to save a buck as no one wants to pay full price. I ordered my Sandisk 32GB microSD card on 7/22/2010, when no store had them and most online stores were back ordered, from Verizon. Cheapest price for item was $199.99 on Sandisk.com (and even they were back ordered). I got it for the same price you can today online from Verizon, $99.99. Except, I got it from the local brick & mortar and it's $149.99 via this method now.

I'm not sure these are no name off brand cheap componets. If you search around you'll seen plenty of reviews on respectable sites where so called premium Class 10 cards get romped by less expensive cards. These are quality cards just inexpensive.
From everything I've read your phone can't take advantage of a class 10 anyway so why spend the extra money?
The Fry's is a great deal but I never buy anything based on a MIR price.

lol then you got ripped off.
When it comes to flash memory buy whatever is cheapest. Read speeds hardly vary. Write speeds are what the class is referring to and isn't very important in our phones. You wont notice an apreciable difference. It can use the nand as a buffer if it needs to write faster anyways say for video recording in hd.

WOW that right there has got to be the most incompetent statement of the day. No I am not calling you stupid, I am saying the comment shows lack of flash memory knowledge.
Cheap gets you cheap, and that’s a fact.
Flash memory is very volatile, and when you buy cheap flash, you get cards that die quickly, or are partially dead out of the box.
i have gotten cheap before and every time i got burnt. Most memorable was a 4GB card that would only hold 2 GB because anything past that caused the card to bomb out. Up to 2 GB it worked fine.
Cheap flash will absolutely cause you troubles, and we already know that a goofy or bad memory card in these phones will cause you to have all types of whacky issues. Including but not limited to reboots, lockups, and bad flashes, or inability to flash the phone.

Anybody tried this 32 gb sd card? Awefully cheap, is it worth it?

Found this on Ebay, don't know though. It comes out of Shanghai and the price is cheap. I'm more worried about cheap crap wrecking my phone. Anybody try one of these yet?
http://cgi.ebay.com/SanDisk-32GB-mi...gital_Camera_Memory_Cards&hash=item1e5e54d767

it won't wreck your phone, but it will probably die after a few weeks - if that long. If you but it, be prepared to throw away your money at some point and all the data on the card.
SanDisk probably won't warranty it because it is probably counterfeit.

don't think u ever will get it
last 16gb card i bought over ebay was about 7€cheaper then all the rest and i never saw it - got money back by paypal thats why i tried (and he had about 100 positive votings).
this seems to be about 50€ cheaper then a normal 32GB card and he has 0 votings - so he propably tires to get the money and vanish into dust before Paypal can claim the money from him.
would buy something more recent.

I bought a 16gb kingston class 4 on amazon, it was around 45$, and they had a promo that if you signed up for an amazon credit card you get 30$ off your first bill. so bought it and paid it off for 15$.
Honestly, with Froyo coming soon and apps2sd, Id really reccomend investing in a good class 4 or 6. The faster the speed of the card, the faster your phone will be able to pull and push data to it.
Another note, my class 4 can move large files at about 8-9 mb/s, but if there are many small files it will only run about 3 mb/s, so Id really recommend a reputable brand. That is not to say the kingston doesnt work good, just to say one of those cheapo 30$ cards advertising class 6 will probably run much slower and break apart quickly

Good point about the speed issue. Can't wait for Froyo.

Class ratings apply to write speeds not read speeds. Theoretically you can write faster to higher class cards, but this usually applies to direct writes on the device (camcorder recording to card) not USB between phone and PC. The USB copies (PC to phone) may be faster, but you have a additional overhead of the USB bus.
Buy a name brand card. I have an 8Gb Sandisk class 2 and it works great for Camera, camcorder, and anything else i want to do with the phone software. My 1080P camcorder has class 6 cards, but it requires it.

I'd steer clear from buying memory cards/ usb flash drives on eBay. I've seen way too many people get scammed on getting what they thought was a 16gb flash drive and end up with a 128mb stick with 16gb screenprinted on it. These microSD's are no different.

Actually I tested this using the sdhc adapter directly to the SD card slot. so no USB/phone interface interfering here. And again, thats what I was stressing. Buy a name brand card, probably a class 4 or 6 considering the move to froyo.

So you got the same MB/s throughput with the card reader as well as the phone connected to the PC? Still puts the USB bus in the way. EDIT - NM I see what you were measuring.
I wonder what the transfer rate is on the phone - back and forth between internal SD and external SD.

Huh, interesting concept. I dont even know of a way to test that

I bought a 32gig card from China for 18 bucks shipped. 1st time I've been scammed on ebay. It seemed to show up as a 32gig, but the phone wouldn't recognize it and wanted to format it....sure thing I figured. Now it shows as an 8mb card that won't format no matter what I do. I disputed it to paypal after the auction/seller disappeared on ebay, but they want me to send it back to China to refund. I considered this might happen and was willing to risk 20 bucks, but it didn't end up well. The funniest part was that it showed up in Kingston packaging, but the date was 2008. I'm pretty sure 32 gig microSD's didn't even exist in 2008.

Thats terrible!! well good luck getting your money back... Lol so I guess if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Id just stick with trustworthy sellers, brands, and sites, and look for good deals!

I am not sure where you found this - but the official specs call for up to 32GB card:

Many people are using 32GB cards. It is the limit of the SDHC spec, so the 16gb is probably a typo from somewhere.

Whoa. My quote was from page 34 of the user manual. It's crazy to find that download on the Samsung site. Here is the link (I can't post links yet in this forum):

Not sure if the one I purchased is the same because the item post has been removed but mine came from Beijing I believe. Came in a Kingston package which was obviously fake. Put it in my phone did a format and it showed a 32gb card. Writing files takes forever directly from the computer but everything looks good so far. Mainly using it for music.

Beware of sandisk microsdhc products

I recently bought a sandisk microsdhc 8 gb class 4 card from a reputable seller in my country, and this is a genuine sandisk product, NOT a counterfeit or fake
product
These are the pictures of the product
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
The serial number is SDSDQM-008G-B35N
The label on the card has a number "4" in a circle, so people would think this is a class 4 card, BUT this is not a class 4 product !
This is ACTUALLY a class 2 products
Proofs:
I tested it using a card reader
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Furthermore, on googling the serials "SDSDQM-008G-B35N", showed the original product's label, which is class 2 !
http://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-Sdsdqm008gb35n-Microsd-Capacity-Reliable/dp/B005177GZE
Even my "no name" cheap chinese brand microsdhc of unspecified class performs faster in writing operation than this sandisk microsdhc !
The same people that got tricked into buying fake class 4 sandisk products
http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Mobile...-SDHC-8gb-Class-2-printed-class-4/td-p/224410
I used sandisk products for years, for almost all of my gadgets, BUT now I am very dissappointed, I never thought a reputable company such as Sandisk would do this kind of scam
But seeing is believing
I don't even bother to email sandisk support nor complain to sandisk in my country, since the product isn't a defect product, nor it is a counterfeit product, BUT it is a genuine product with an intended false specifications in order to cheat consumers
I'll make sure that any sandisk products which I used are the last, never would I bought anything from sandisk again
I sincerely hope this kind of scam would increase sandisk sales
Oh BTW, this is the specification of different classes of speed in SD card
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating
I regret not buying transcend microsdhc but buying sandisk instead
Hope this will be a valuable lesson for me and the others who tricked too, also an info for readers
Thanks

That's really interesting. Wouldn't have expected that from a company like Sandisk...
Sent from my Inc using Nil's Business Gingersense. Now that's Incredible.

I have a 16GB Class4 Sandisk MicroSD as well, it performs like a Class2 card, the maximum writing speed I could get is about 3.2mb/s, and it went to 2.0mb/s after a while. Tested using card reader, SD adapter and also directly through phone USB.
I'm going to get a 32GB MicroSD by this month, don't know whether should I trust Sandisk or not or get a Class10 DNA instead.

so thats why my 16gb felt like turtle? zzz

i just tested my 16gb Class4 Sandisc microSDHC with sd tools on my HD2.
dunno, but my class4 beheaves like a class4 or even class6.
i got 5.9MB/s writng speed and 23MB/s reading speed
this without modding the cache file

Maybe they just cocked up with the labeling?

I am going to have to check on mine now.

Just checked my 16gb that I got a few backs back. Same thing reputable dealer retail packing not tampered with and just tested getting 2.35 mb/s write speed and it can't in the wrong package as the card has a 4 stamped on it. Not impressed at all. I have always trusted sandisk but I think I may have to drop them a message and see what they say.

look inside this link
http://www.sandisk.com/products/mobile-memory-products
can u see any Class 4 card? yes, the one labeled "Ultra", but there is no 32bg ultra mobile card, so my guess is that the card you bought is a fake Class 2 one.
Who is that reputable seller? I hope u dont mean Amazon.
Anyways if u pay something like $50, u r fine.
@D4rkSoRRoW: since your card is probably fake too, i would appreciate that u tell us your amazon or ebay seller. Thanks

luckily I don't use sandisk..

Hi what program do you use to test your cards speed? thanks

Interesting thread, I've always been a little iffy on Sandisk.

in same lot, some of them have better speed than class number some of them have worst speed.
just use your luck.

wow, are you real sure you bought it from a honest seller? Because the middleman can always get a bulk for cheap if the original providers sold for less because of defects or human errors from the factory plant.....

SD Tools on the market is pretty good for testing read / write speeds of SD cards.

[Q] Is it a best deal on ebay for 32GB Micro SDHC???

I just found an ebay.com seller listed a kingston 32gb micro sdhc (class 4) card for just $16 ...I dont whether its a genuine deal or not but till now has already sold more than 80 cards (within 12 hrs)....
here's the link http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270781614305&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Last week I saw a similar deal (32gb kingston for $20) I purchased 3 .... although paypal refunded all my money today when i raised a claim but it's such a waste of time....
Can anybody confirm whether its a genuine deal? ALso can anybody suggest a best deal (with worldwide shipping) for buying 32gb micro sdhc class 4 (or 10) card

Nope they are fake. when you plug it in it will show 32gb but in reality they are 1-2 gb cards. I once bought a 16gb flash drive which turned out to be 2gb. never buy flash memory on ebay esp from china. Buy from trusted sellers only.
the money for the "16gb flashdrive" was refunded to me.
Edit:
Same seller look at this auction:
http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270781633716#ht_1367wt_1139
How the hell can a 256 gb flash drive cost 9 euros.
If anyone did get their flash memory on ebay and its always corrupting, Run a test with a program.

If he sends the same kingston card as shown in the pic.... is thr any chance of gettin fake ...
I hv seen many loose or unbranded cards as fake ....hv u encountered any fake card in kingston's retail packing?

Yes they are fake. Fake packaging. Made mostly for schmucks like you who think they are real because of the box they come in. If you put a Lamborghini logo and a ford, Its still just a crappy ford.

Anyone can duplicate packaging even if it has holograms. Everything is easily duplicated. Also the card they state is a class 4, Which I doubt. Its most likely a class 1. Either way Class 4 is useless. Get at least a class 6 card or class 10 which is best. If you care at all about watching movies or recording in HD onto the card.
LESSON OF THE DAY:
IF IT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.... IT IS!

Thanks everybdy... anyway the listing removed by ebay ...
Mods can close this thread...

If you need a 32GB class 4 - THIS is the best deal.
I have got the same one, and I can guarantee it is genuine. And I am having no problems whatsoever.

Recording and playback will be fine with a class 2 card. You certainly don't need anything faster than class 4. The only advantage a class 6 or 10 card has would be faster transfers between your pc and the card.

I have both...I can claim without a doubt my Class 10 32GB Patriot is a lot faster than my 16GB Class 4 Sandisk.
Where do I notice it most besides PC transfers? Media scanner.... the 32GB scans more than twice as fast as the 16GB on reboots after changes. Well worth the $86.

So it scans a bit quicker and costs nearly twice the price of the class 4....
I'd rather have the extra money in my pocket and wait a few extra seconds for the scanner to finish.....

It scans far more than a "bit quicker". It scans faster then the internal SD card!!
No matter.....I paid $600 for a phone...and am flashing custom ROMS and Kernels and donating to the developers and this site supporting them for more speed with stability, I am not going to cut corners in the same arena to save $40 on a lesser SD Card. I want to get the most out of the handset on all fronts. In that regard the class 10 card makes sense.
Then again people will pay $600+ for a handset, $300+ a year for a data plan and balk at paying $3 for a helpful app or donating to a developer. Strange world this mobile phone world indeed.

Not to sound dumb, but how much is "Rs. 2500"?

Try searching 3C Pro 32GB Class 6 micro SD. I bought one of ebay it was from TOPRAM. 3C has 10mbit speed and is a real Class 6 and 32GB I have one myself and it is legit. Made in Korea. Not China like SanDisk. Doesn't fail. HIGH TRANSFER SPEEDS!

Nope they are fake. when you plug it in it will show 32gb but in reality they are 1-2 gb cards. I once bought a 16gb flash drive which turned out to be 2gb. never buy flash memory on ebay esp from china. Buy from trusted sellers only.
the money for the "16gb flashdrive" was refunded to me.
Edit:
Same seller look at this auction:
http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270781633716#ht_1367wt_1139
How the hell can a 256 gb flash drive cost 9 euros.
If anyone did get their flash memory on ebay and its always corrupting, Run a test with a program.

Happy to say that my 32gb Kingston drive from HK is completely functional with full capacity and fine transfer rates. Thanks for the link.

Just want to say that remember that Hong Kong is not China even if they are connected and the people look alike. Hong Kong has been a British ruled colony until 1995. China's government tried to make villagers make steel made in the villagers backyards. Do the math.
HK>China
