One Day Sale microSD 32GB SanDisk Class 4

Great deal on www.1saleaday.com ....$29.99 + $5 for shipping ~= $35
its only a class 4 so not the best but for anyone who needs a lot of storage on their phone/tablet, its a great deal! Get it while you can ....its only good for 1 day.

Yeah I'm getting one of these.

Anyone know what is the fastest and largest SD that will work with our phones?

32 gb is the biggest right now, class 10 would be the fastest.

Shoot I just got my 20 dollar 16gb card today top

Actually that's incorrect I found out the other day. Sandisk has released a 64gb microsdxc card that has apparently been found to be compatible with the sgs2.

Copy pasta:
Class 4 or Class 10? Depend upon what you want it for
Class 2 and 4 cards have better random access speed and random read/write than class 6 or 10 cards in general. To get higher sequential write speeds, manufacturers sacrifice the random access speeds. That's just how it is.

So if you want to use the microSDHC card for photos, music, or video, then you may be better off with a class 10 card. If you want it for Readyboost, smart phone, Nook Color running Android OS, or other device that requires fast, ramdom access, then you should buy a Class 2 or 4 Sandisk flash card.

I picked up 3 sanDisk 32gb class 4 cards on amazon the other night for $16.40 a piece. I thought I would never see them and would end up getting a refund, but they showed up two days later. They were sold out from that seller (he had 20) within minutes. Right time at the right place i guess.

good 32gb memory card?

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

Looks like garbage. Stick with trusted brands like SanDisk, Transcend, Kingston, PNY, etc..

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.

as stated in the op, im a new sd card buyer, so dont bash me lol.... what programs are used to check the speed? ive read on how to see if its legit but not the programs that check them

I remember back in the day on the G1 when you had to run apps to sd and partition your card. I bought a supposed class 6 8gb card on eBay for cheap. It was definitely slower than my Sandisk class 2. I'm using a 32gb class 4 SanDisk I conned my buddy out of his Thunderbolt. Must say so far I like it. Try craigslist. I know I picked up a 16gb for cheap a while ago...

I bought this one from ebay.

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.

I got a sandisk 32GB class 4. It is plenty fast enough. I record pics/video to onboard phone storage anyways. I store vids, music, etc on the sd card and it reads very fast. I haven't move any apps to sd card because we have plenty onboard memory.

what's a good price for a 32GB class 4 microSDHC? i've been waiting for about 2 weeks for a deal to be posted on SD, but haven't seen one yet.
amazon is selling a sandisk for $37. i'm wondering is i should just buy this?

Bestbuy has the Kingston class 4 32gb for 42.99? Do you all think that's a good deal? I know amazon has the Sandisk 32gb class 4 for 37, but i has mixed reviews.

if you are like me, that can easily fill a 16GB, you'll quickly fill up the 32GB as well, so might as well aim higher for a 64GB instead

thanks for the links guys. i was about to say after some research a 64gb micro sd might be overkill for me atm.
any big difference between a class 4 32gb, vs a class 6 or 10?
i mostly plan on having old pics/vids + music on my 32gb micro sd, and having all my new pictures/videos recorded to my internal memory.

The class dictates read/write speed, with the number representing megabits per second.

best class of SdCard to get

Hey everyone,
I'm thinking of getting a 32 microsd. Card for my S3. I was wondering if a class 10 is necessary or would a class 4 or 6 be sufficient?
Thanks.

Class 6 is sufficent I read somewhere that class 10 is good for taking pictures or something but for this phone class 6 is enough.

It depends on what you'll be doing. Personally, I'd go for a UHS-1 class card. They're just above class 10. Sandisk has a 32GB one for about $40 on Newegg.com. That's what I'm using right now. It has been awesome thus far.

uhs are useless for this phone, no phone on the market supports this feature.
just get the best you can afford, anything above class 4 is enough, but prices aren't much different, so a class 6 or 10 can be in reach.

That might be the case on the international version, but when I'm taking pictures my UHS card it certainly seems to record them faster on my US - AT&T version. I wonder if anyone has done any any read/ write benchmarks to see for sure.
But I do agree, unless you have a need for speed, anything over class 4 should be good for everyday use.

i standby what i said, no phone supports uhs, unless you can prove otherwise.

What about if you use it as USB mass storage? Or making backups
of it? Or it's still limited even though that?

i personally have about 10 class 10 16gbs, and around 12 class 10 32gb, and 4 class 6 64gbs. granted i use only 3 or 4 of them i just have a alot extra. i sued to work at best buy mobile and came up on a lot. couple months ago best buy sold a class 6 64gb online for $45. keep an eye out and look for deals. i do see a big difference in the class of cards. i usually have music and various roms and what not.

What about playing roms saved on sd cards would you notice a difference between class 6 and 10

it's not the card, it's the phone thats preventing the card to reach the limit.
a class 4-10 will work on the s3, you won't notice much of a differences.
---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------
if you want the fastest card on the market, but not for the S3, you only choice is the sandisk microsdhc extreme pro with upto 95mb/s transfer speed and only available so far 8GB and 16Gb.
or you can consider the adata microsdhc premier pro read 45mb/s and write 40mb/s available in 8gb, 16gb and 32gb.
as with both cards you need a uhs reader to reach the stated speed, otherwise you will only get max read 25mb/s and write 23mb/s which is the standard speed set for sdhc.

Class 6 is the sweet spot

Class 4 should be sufficient enough for normal phone use tho?
unless you are using DSLR perhaps?

class 4 has faster ram, class 10 has faster sequential write speeds
class 4 is better for every day, random use
class 10 is better for downloads and recording/playback of large files and HD movies

Upgrade my microSD card

Looking to upgrade need more room! I have the standard 16 gig. Can I swap my 16 for a 64????
If so which card do I look for?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Yes, you can. You can get one from any of the trusted companies, just search for the one with the best price. Also make sure you get a class 6 or class 10. It's going to be expensive for a 64 GB class 6/10, but if you're going for such a high capacity card then you should definitely get one with a higher class rating. Class rating is nothing but the minimum write speed that the card can achieve. You can see the difference while transferring large files. If you get a class 2 or class 4, your write speeds will be low. Imagine transferring ~58.5 GB (which is the actual capacity you'll get with a 64 GB card) at such low speeds. It'll take forever. The microSD cards that come shipped with phones are usually class 2 or at best class 4. It's always better to get a higher class because the performance will be better, especially during large file transfers and when the phone is accessing the SD card.
According to your phone's specifications on gsmarena, it supports cards up to 64 GB, so there's no problem of compatibility.

the 64gb microsdxc will work in the s3... i got mine from amazon for like 40 bucks when it went on sale. great investment

Ok perfect. One last question....
My sgs3 is the 16 gb but after I opened it there is no card in the slot. Im guessing that means I have been using stock internal???? When I purchase a 64 gig I put that in the empty slot... will I have 64 + 16?

The Sandisk 64gb SDXC it's working well for me over the past month. I did follow the recommendations of formatting it as FAT32. The read/write speed of this card is much much faster than SDHC. Look for specials on this card. Got mine from tiger direct for $49 about a month ago shipped free. Just looked on Amazon and see the price is now $49.
That said, I have had issues with older/slower Sandisk cards failing on two occasions in the past. Sandisk will swap them out but it's a pain.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Just put the card in your phone, go to Settings>Storage and format it there. Also, the Galaxy S3 supports the exFAT format, which allows for single files larger than 4GB to be stored. Fat32 has a 4GB limitation. You can also get a card reader for your computer, put this card in it and format it just like you would do for a flash drive. You can either format it as Fat32 or exFAT, as both will work. Depends on your usage i.e. if you plan to keep files larger than 4GB (like HD movies). Since you got such a huge card I figure that's your purpose anyway, so format it as exFAT. If you're using Windows, do a quick format rather than a full format (will take forever).

There are some kernel that supports exfat. You can just flash the kernel.

Not that it matters much, or maybe it will. I bought this one for my phone, also have it in my DSLR. It's a class 10 card which means it's super fast. Allows me to record 1080p HD video on my camera with no lag. So I picked one up for my phone as well. Bit smaller storage space than what you wanted, but I have never come close to filling it.
