Hi everyone. I'm looking to buy a 32GB microSD card to store some music and ROMs and I need some advice on how to find good ones for cheap. I don't really want to go over $25 really so I'm not really looking for Class 10 or anything. But what I don't want is a Class 2. I have found 2 cards that may be good. Can anyone recommend one of these or possibly even something else?
SanDisk Class 4 - $19.99
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004G60AD6?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Polaroid Class 10 - $24.99
http://m.bestbuy.com/m/e/product/detail.jsp?skuId=5559941&pid=1218660314316
Kingston Class 4 - $24.99
http://m.bestbuy.com/m/e/product/detail.jsp?skuId=2603545&pid=1218354912613
Why is the Class 10 Polaroid so cheap? I'm inclined to go for the SanDisk because it's cheap and a good brand and I've also heard that SanDisk is known for having higher write speeds than advertised. Any advice is appreciated.,

About 6 months ago i sprung for a genuine Samsung class 10 32GB SD for my ET4G and i paid about $40 with free shipping from amazon. I got the class 10 because i shoot HD video in 720 and 1080 and i wanted to make sure it had the xfer rate to handle it. If all you're doing is storing files like music and pictures or roms then class 4 is fine. I just bought that SanDisk 32GB for my OG Galaxy tab and its working great. Granted i only read books/manga and listen to music with it and they work great.
I hope this helps in some way towards your decision.

Thank you very much - it does help with my decision. I just want to store my music and some root stuff on it. I'm sick of using Google Music because it drains my battery life streaming from the cloud.
I'd highly suggest going with the absolute fastest you can find.
Why? Because media scanner will run and run and run and run and run, forever, sucking up your battery if you have lots of music files.
I went from a class 4 to a class 10 and it was a huge difference with many photos and MP3 files.
I got 3 of the Polaroid class 10s on sale last month for 19 each. Running fine on my s2 and wife's s3.
I'll just leave this here...

This is the creme de la creme of SD cards. The best deals can be had on ebay for around 30 bucks. If you get it off ebay, make sure the seller has a good rating and it says OEM, because many people try to sell fakes.

What type of speeds are you getting? Trying to figure out if it's genuinely Class 10 or if the SanDisk Class 4 is better
i have a patriot 32gig class 10 using the sdtools from google play i get a bench mark of 6mb write, and read of 11mb/s
i just got my brand new Sandisk 32gig U1 series.. its suppose to be fast.. But

I picked up a legit Samsung class 10 32 gb card off eBay a month or two ago for $26 shipped, I would keep an eye on eBay were I you, I got a great deal and am very happy with the card, I'm glad I went with class 10 as well, I've developed an obsession with fpse and roms copy over to it like instantly and I can store a ton of em

I had a class 2 sandisk 16 gb- bought a sandisk class 4 32gb for 11.50 on ebay- GENUINE- in an auction- free shipping- Its good enough- then get the app rom toolbox- speed up your sd reader to 2048- and now you have all that you could ever need- unless you shoot hd video- then get class 10- ( stay away from cheesy brands- the rating may be fudged.. pay for class 10- and getting a lower rating and quality.
I have been using a TOPRAM Class 10 32GB micro SD for about 2 years now, and I have had ZERO issues. I have used it in three different phones, it has been partitioned and formatted many times, wiped, and had a constant amount of data going on, and off of it during the period I have had it, and It still continues to serve me perfectly. they run around $30 with free shipping on Ebay. i was skeptical at first, but after a couple years, it is still the best micro SDHC I have ever owned.
Thank you guys for the advice. I know it sounds stupid but I don't really want to pay $30 for a microSD card, even if it is Class 10 and only $10 more than what I'm looking for. I think I'm just gonna get the SanDisk Class 4 because I'm mainly using it just music storage and ROMs. I'm still keeping an eye out for good deals on eBay though for Samsung Class 10's but most of those seem fake coming from Hong Kong lol.
I just had my 16gb PNY class 10 fail on me, taking out about 200 pictures since I procrastinated on regularly backing it up. I don't think I'll ever use PNY again, beware if you do. When this card was being on sale at bestbuy last year, other people had reported odd issues with theirs but I thought it was just a coincidence. Guess not.
NOTE: Polaroid memory cards are made by PNY.

Little of both. He is not listed and has been doing EBAY for over a year. Thats a good sign. The better sign is all 4 I received test perfect and do not show the poor ink blotching and off color plastic as fakes. So I feel fairly confident. When fakes are being sold the negative reviews stack p fast. I just looked and it said 3 left? He may get more I hope.
I did search and another seller with them at 23.95 and they are not on negative list. I have not seen them so do not want to refer you if fake. But no negative reviews and also solid account.

I'm looking at upgrading the stock 8GB class 2 card that came with the Evo. 32GB are a little pricey still, and I'd like to have a little more storage since I'm upgrading, so I'm looking at 16GB cards. I saw this from Amazon. Decent price too. Any suggestions out there? I'd like something that would be fast enough for if/when the video recording issue gets resolved. I'm not sure about ebay because I've read that people get crappy cards that don't write to said capacity and poor write/read speeds. But if you bought from ebay and it worked out for you, post a link of what you bought!
I recommend this card. It is rated as a class 2, but performs better than most class 6 cards. It has impressive benchmark results and works well in dedicated HD camcorders. Check the link in this thread to Slickdeals for review: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715012

Nice find! Benchmark on it basically doubles that of the Sandisk 8GB CL2 that came with my EVO benched @ Write: 2.8MB/S and Read: 6.6MB/S.
In addition, I still have a store credit of $17 from 2007..basically free after rebate. Lol.

Definitely not worth the risk. I've read a lot of mixed reviews from the card only reading 2GB, to constant errors, and eventually failure within weeks/months.

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.

its already stated in my previous post.
Damn, I guess those reviewers were right. Phone is crashing alot, all apps that use the SD card freeze up the second they start. It was working fine on my PC but my Droid 2 Global doesn't like it. Lame. Thank god for Youtube's return policy.

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.
If you're looking for a decently priced 32GB class 4 Microsd card backed by one of the biggest and most respected retailers in the world, you can do much worse than this:
http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Class-microSDHC-Memory-TS32GUSDHC4/dp/B004R7P28W/ref=pd_cp_e_1
This is sold by Amazon... not "fulfilled by Amazon" but actually sold by them. So $55.00 buys you the peace of mind of knowing that if there's anything wrong with the card, you can always get your money back. Plus, this is about as cheap as I, personally, have seen legitimate 32GB cards sold for.
Also, buy with Amazon's Super Saver shipping and shipping is free (does take a bit longer, though.)
In any case, this is probably what I'll do when I get around to upgrading my 16GB card for a 32.

I ordered mine last night and can't wait for it to get here!
I bought a Patriot 32gb Class 4 for $39 + 1.99 shipping from Frys.com. It was a weekend only sale and I ordered mine like 30 minutes prior to the sale ending that Sunday night (so I didn't have time to mass post the deal here). I've since received it and it works great. I'm using it in my Acer Iconia A500 tablet instead of my Evo though. You'd think that watching hi-res movies on the larger screen of the A500 would put the read speed of this Class 4 card to the test, but the whole experience has been flawless.
If you're in the market for a 32gb card, I'd keep an eye on the usual websites (Amazon, Buy.com, Newegg, Frys, etc.) because they Class 4 cards are starting to get rather affordable. The Class 10 cards are still a bit too pricey for my wallet.

My understanding is that the read speed on most of these cards is going to be fine. It's the write speed that varies most and which is dependent on the Class rating of the card. I've got a 16GB class 2 card in my Nook Color and there's no lag watching movies.

The read speed varies significantly between the card classes as well. The big question is whether or not the hardware (which typically trails behind the media) can take advantage of a card with faster access/read times. I haven't found a utility that can speed test the external SD card in my Tegra2 based Acer A500 tablet, but in a thread on another Android forum, the Evo hardware was shown to take advantage of the significantly faster read times in Class 6 & 10 cards.
All that being said, how fast a read time does anyone really need? I've never felt the need to date to go faster than Class 4 card in any of my devices, for both read and even write times.

I wouldn't mind faster write times on my Nook Color if only to be able to copy movies on and off faster (on my current card it takes between 3 and 5 minutes per 1.5 GB title.) Other than that, yeah... not much reason. I've made lots of videos on my Evo and never noiticed any issues with write speed on my Class 4 card.

Thats not a micro SD
I've got a class 10 16GB card in my evo. AND I CORRECTLY did speed tests through my computer and through the phone. and with the class then, there was a huge improvement on speeds even while it was installed in the evo. Professionally speaking.. I think they should install class 10 in all mobile phones. :-D it will only go as fast as its slowest connection.

Here you go people! DailySteals.com has 32GB SanDisk Micro SD Class 4 cards on sale for $19.99 plus 4.99 S&H until midnight tonight!
I haven't got enough posts to post outside links so I hope you can decipher it.

thanks but not really worth the money for class 4..
Now it's the common price for 32GB and especially for SanDisk.

It's not all about the class rating.
Nothing can beat the Sandisk cards on random read and write speeds.
I just bought 2 for 18.48 each..thanks for the tip!
As fast as this phone is, it doesnt matter what class card you use; also, just tweak the read ahead speed with rom toolbox or one of the other programs that tweaks that, and you will never know the difference between a class 4 and anything else...

Not know the difference? There is a Huge one...especially when your copying things over to it. Class 10 all the way.

Seems like a good deal. Might have to jump on a 32gb card in the next couple weeks. Don't think I will ever use that much space but I guess I could use it to put some movies and tv shows on my phone.
Anyone have any experience from the Sandisk 32GB Class 10 from DealExtreme?
I'm looking for a good sd card and I think this one fits my needs.
I have ordered from DX a long time ago when they had flashcarts and a flashlight, but I have no expereince with buying an microsd card from them.
There's a chance it is fake, but as long as it works it doesn't bother me at all.
Looking at the reviews it seems good and I'm about to order, just want to see what you guys think of it or if anyone of you guys have bought an sd card from them.
Here's the link: http://dx.com/p/sandisk-micro-sd-tf-memory-card-w-sd-adapter-32gb-class-10-139290
It's for $28.70
Thanks!
If you don't need the adapter thingy, they're a couple of dollars cheaper for the same card at amazon. Also less of a chance you'd get burned by a fake.

I'll go check it out, thanks!
Now is a class 10 even necessary for a S3?
Probably not absolutely necessary but the price differential between that and a lower class (speed) one isn't that great (couple of dollars) to make the cheaper one a 'bargain'.

You will be surprise. It really makes a difference when browsing through my gallery. All videos and photos are stored on my external SD.
I had a San disk 64 gb extreme card for a year and my media scanner service was always in the top three for battery usage. I have a transcend 64 gab class 10 and media scanner is now in the lower five.
