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?
what do you guys think about this Sandisk with a 95MB/s speed:
http://www.adorama.com/IDSIUMS64GB.html
is it overkill? can the S3 even handle this card? i'll be using the camera a lot, if it makes a difference, as it's my only camera. i'll also be moving music in and out frequently.
i've seen it sell for much more on other sites, so i thought that $99 price isn't too bad. i live near the store also, so i could go pick it up today.
do you guys think it's worth it? thanks!
I think I'm blind. Where do you see the 95MB/s write speed?

oops. i guess i read the image wrong, as the specs read 30MB/s, but the pic says 95MB?

Yah I think that's wrong. Looks like the adapter is rated for 95MB/s.
Even though it says "microSDXC" that's a regular sized SD card in the photo, it looks shopped.
The correct card/option should be SanDisk Ultra 64GB microSDXC Card Class 10 UHS-1 Plus Adapter $59.95
It's a 64GB Class 10. I may just walk over to the store and get it. $99 seems reasonable for it right? I don't think I can wait 2-5 weeks for the Amazon deal.

They charged me wayyy too much for shipping last time I bought from them. It was something like $10 and the envelope with my sd card in it (from USPS) said in the corner the cost was less than $2.
On the plus side, though, the shipped me a class 4 card when the description said class 2.

I bought that exact card from Amazon for my SGS3, the phone can handle it just fine. Just make sure you reformat it as FAT32 or it will be useless in recovery if you're using CWM. Once reformatted CWM recovery can see it just fine.

As of now they don't have any class 10 in stock only clas 6 for 59.99 and those are on delay for a couple weeks as someone above mentioned. I'm just trying to help folks out as these cards are up now for $100+.
Ordered my sandisk class10 off ebay a month an a half ago when I pre-ordered my S3. Got it for only $64 with free shipping. Glad I bought it then, too, because the price jumped up $10 - $15 everywhere else a week later as demand picked up, and it hasn't gone back down yet.
I bought a couple of these last month for 59.99, and I've seen them on Best Buy daily deals twice this month for several dollars less than that shipped. Just keep your eyes peeled. Working great, with tons of space considering the apps aren't taking up space on the card.
All of you guys are getting 10's correct?
i just bought this card on Amazon for 59.99, 64.93 with tax, just have to click the little thing saying others for the different prices. its back ordered for 1-2 month but not much you can do if you want the best for you phone.
here is the link that shows the different offerings for the card i ordered(cant make an actual link since im too new):

Took about two weeks. Heck of a deal.
Got mine from Amazon (SDSDQUA-064G-U46A) during the sale.
It's beginning to show some corruption problems. File extensions are getting changed and other issues.
This is happening on 2 separate devices S3 and Nook Color.
I have a tech request with Sandisk and am waiting to see what they say.
Update:
Just RMA'd mine and am awaiting replacement.

Class 10 cards are fast but not reliable like class 4-6. That's more than likely the reason for corruption happening.

yeap class 10 uhs-1.
I ordered from amazon $59.99 1-2month wait time. They lied, it only took them 5 days to ship my card. Only problem i had was that EXFAT did not work right out of the box. had to reformated to Fat32, This card is even faster than the samsung 32gb class 10 i had which goes on sale for $30 all the time.
I found this in the S3 forums. I am certain it is a fake but if the size is close and the speed is around 4 or better it is still worth it IMO. So if you like to gamble here is your chance

If it is actually the SDXC, I have a 64Gb one in my E4GT right now and it works great.
This exact MicroSD card is going for $99 on Newegg so there's little doubt it's counterfeit. For another $10 I'd rather spring for a 32GB card that comes with a warranty and hassle free return. Also I heard with the 64GB card the media scanner takes forever to process it.

My last one cost about 65-70$ from Amazon (so you can definitely get them cheaper than Newegg,) but I do agree that these are likely counterfeit (or stolen... muhahahaha)

Here is an interesting article with some very interesting insight into the world of "fake" microSD card manufacturing in China... written by an American(?) who works at a factory in China. Apparently some "fake" cards are just substandard cards that flash memory makers dump on thesecondary markets...
You can find the article via Google. Search for "On MicroSD Problems bunnie's blog" it should be the first one that comes up
The article was very long and nearly put me to sleep... but still very interesting read.
This is the reply I got from him regarding the query of the card .
Dear ********,
YES, I hope you can wait your product if you receive the product can not be used, I will refund all your money will not be returned to me, Thank you very much!

Ok well i went ahead and ordered This & This.
After reading the thread from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568968 i was on a mission to have a huge ammount of storage space on my phone (huge app junky) I will definetly report back on how things work out(really was skeptical on that 50 dollar 256gb sdcard) but if it holds out to being legit im gonna be ecstatic as hell and its even a class 10! If anything and it turns out to be some sorry 32gb sdcard i can always get my money back from paypal anyways it's worth a shot. That type 8 microsd to sd adapter is nice too as it should be lengthy enough to bend/fold over my zerolemon battery, might have a small growth on the back of my phone but it will be worth it
Ordered it today and should have both parts in about a week, seen this work before on the note 2 so as long as this sdcard is a go... i'll be getting a hell of a deal and so will anyone else wanting to do the same after i report back that it's legit :good:
Can these phones Handel all that
It is most likely a legit card. Hopefully it lasts though. Adata makes a ton of cards, but about 40% I would guess are crap. And if course every one I have gotten from them ended up being in that 40%.
Edit: clicked the post button too soon.
Take some pictures if it, and which zero lemon you have, the 10000 ma one? I was thinking of doing the exact same thing, so I am very curious how this will turn out. Good luck.

I am actually quite used to it. I was (am) the kid who could never even win at bingo. So my luck with bad cards is nothing new to me.
Other people, like you, swear by them. But for the life of me, I could not get one to last over 1 week. 3 of them were within the last month. I kept returning hoping the next one would work.
And no, I am not hard on them. I have 2 other ones, sandisk and some unknown brand and I have had those for 4 years...

I just couldnt believe 256gb for 50$ Sold!!!
I hope you guys are right about being a decent enough card, i've been very loyal to Sandisk but they were going for $200+ compared to Adata's. I have the Zerolemon 10,000mah and Otterbox like case, I'm hoping the sdcard adapter wont leave a huge added bulk on top of the battery so the casing can still fit. Otherwise i might just rock my stock battery and use the foam casing with otterbox to hold the adapter still.

Update: Got back from the hospital today had a lower back surgery due to a ruptured disc putting pressure on my nerves and sending all kinds of hell down my leg(living with it for about 5 months) Luckily i was only in the hospital for 24Hrs it was a microdisectomy- whew glad that's over! Now i just got to deal with the pain which feels like someone threw a fireaxe into my lower back, my wife is taking care of me.
So i came home and she said i got some kind of sdcard in the mail and sure enough it was the 256gb ADATA sd card, i quickly as i could put that sucker into the sdcard reader of my pc and sure enough........
244gb formatted to fat32!!!!!!!
Not everything is a scam, you just really need to check user reviews and feedback on the seller, if it looks fake(i almost didnt order it but i thought what the hell its paypal i'll get my money back) just keep looking around i got lucky with this card but they are out there!
Pics below for proof. I'm still waiting on my type 8 microsd to sdcard adapter so i can try it on my Note 3. I will update this thread again once i recieve it
http://m.ebay.com/seller?itemId=331120769845&sid=soopereronphoto
I advise anyone wanting a 256gb card like the one I got hit the link above and ask the seller if there's any left, I got mine for 50! I got it quick too as he shipped from NY and I'm in CA. All I'm waiting on now is my type 8 microsd to SD card reader to try out on my note 3.
Goodluck!

Have you tried copying a large amount of data to the card? From what I've read, fake cards will often format to their full capacity but fail when you copy an amount of data which exceeds their true capacity.
