Hi,
I have a 32GB class 10 and want to upgrade to 64..
I tried to search in ebay on my own but found so many different prices (ahm fakes ahm).. that I'm afraid to do it on my own..
I was struggling with these fake cards 2 years ago when I was looking for a 32GB.. I don't wanna fall again..
Could you please help me find a fair decent honest seller on eBay that sells a 64GB class 10 MicroSD card for mobile (Xperia Z)?
I don't care for brand.. as long as its known one like Samsung/Sandisk.. and not some chinese 1 day old company...
I don't block the price as for I don't really know how much it really costs..
I saw some 20$ cards and also a 100$ cards.. I don't want to empty my wallet for a golden master superhero sd card.. but also willing to invest to get a life-time memory card that won't die after a week..
Your help will be much appreciated !

I will use a micro-SD in my Sony Xperia Tipo Dual. As far as I understood will I have to make a partition for android.
Which maximum size android is able to deal with?
Can I make more than one android-partition for the mobile? One for apps one for extra RAM?
Which formatting is best? Fat32?
Would it be better to use a smaler SD than 64 or 32 GB?
Please recomend me a very fast micro-SD.

unfortunately my english is prety poor - what do you mean with over-ask?
How I can realize that SD Card is fake or not ?
Sorry
@mcjordan92: Sorry - I now understand what you ment with 'over-ask'.
@vntrann: We both should open new threads for our questions isn't it.
.... but - maybe - some readers of this thread could by the way give us some hints.

I used buy one in a Chinese online store, name"aurabuy", maybe you can have a try
I'd really prefer better a quality; known by public; guarenteed one rather than trying my luck with some chinese one..
Could any one please point out some? share your experience and knowledge..
What might seems too basic info for you might be my biggest helpful tip..
Amazon.com
Amazon has all the name brands at great prices. You won't have to worry about it.

I believe there is some applications and tools set that can help you test memory cards and pen drives to check if they are true or fake... A simple Google search can show you allot of bloggers talking about it

None, they're all expensive... Ball park numbers 100 bucks, save yourself money, buy a wintec 16gb for 29 dollars...best thing I ever bought, class 10 and if it goes bad or comes bad, you exchange with the given warranty, you can't lose out...fortunately my first ones been great for 4 months now
Microcenter has a patriot lx class 10 high speed micro sdhc for 69.99. I can't post a link because I don't have enough posts yet , but pretty easy to find at their site.

Check ebay.. I just purchased a 32gb Class2 from there for 40$. That was including shipping. It was brand new in box never been used. Seller reported he opened and formatted for his and buyers protection. Been using for a week and its reacts better then the original 8gb card that came with my evo.. So.. I mean you just really gotta look around..
FYI, its a cell phone you really dont need a HIGH class for it. Your not going to NEED mass data movement speeds.

Really? If all you needed was a "phone" then why don't you have a flip phone? The faster cards will come in handy when using apps you've stored on the card. If you decide to do that in the future.

Exactly. And eBay is the worst place to buy a card, scammers all over

Ive owned many phones. And the phone and card does what i need ty.. And i know how to look at a sellers rating on what to buy..
FTY forum rules pretty much say live and let live.. If you dont got nothing nice to say then dont say anything at all.. I was putting positive information towards the discussion. Id appreciate in the future if some people would have some common sense before posting.
can I use a 32gb SD card in my device ?
thanks ^^^
you sure can! i am using one now. sandisk class 4. bought it for 29.99 and a 1 day sale! works great along with my internal card!
I'm using one too. Just a note, the internal memory registers to apps as the SD card, while the SD card is located as a folder inside that marked External_SD. I had to redirect a few apps to there to find their data.

Yeah it's really expensive here is the price:
64GB $219.99
but are you sure it can? cause from what I've read SGH-T989 is designed to take up to 32GB's only... I'm curious if it can really take more than that set value of 32GB's. You will see this if you read the owner's manual of the phone
there are many confirmations and videos that have shown it can, even on old HTC and Samsung devices, or many other phones
as for the price, if you think about it
2x 32GB $100 = 1x 64GB $200
so it's just like buying 2 card, but you can use them together at the same time instead of having to take out the back cover + case to swap the SD cards

I bought this and I couldn't be happier. Media loads instantly in the music player as well as gallery. If you look around on our forums there's a speed study where they found that this was the fastest card (for random access). Even better value than the class 10.

straight from Sandisk website
none of the Warehouse Suppliers / Dealers carry them, not in USA not in Canada
probably they figure no one is crazy enough to pay $200+ for a SD card

basically, with a format of the card, its possible, however the speeds may be bottlenecked by the device itself, not the card.... and from what i read, it should be compatible with ALL micro sdxc cards!! also works on the evo 4g, htc sensation, and galaxy s I

I just bought this from B&H and paid more. Going to partition now and set an ext.3 for a2sd.
I suspect that it will be fine since these companies buy from the same source and brand it for themselves. My thought was that Samsung probably one of the main sources and I trust their QC since they make some of the best phones on the market.
but will see...I'll report back if something remarkable happens.
I change out cards every 12 months anyway because I had one fail on me (not Samsung) and it was not pleasant.
how much free space do you actually have on that 32 GB SD card?
That is amazing... I'm going to have to pick one up.

NEVER buy cards from ebay. 99.999999% of them are fake capacity which will report an incorrect size to device/pc etc. When you try and go over the real capacity data will corrupt.
Also we already have plenty of topics on sdcards, your question is already well covered. No need to create a new topic.

Hi guys. It looks like every geek user has to be microsd scammed on his life... and yes, it happened to me!
I've bought a MicroSD card on eBay from an ITALIAN SELLER with LOTS of feedback points... it was listed as Samsung PRO Micro SD 64 GB.
Well...it was a fake! It's a 8 GB card modified to appear as 64 GB to the system.
I tested it with H2testw ...
This time the fake was EPIC. The retail package was REALLY similar to the genuine one (Look the attached photo!)
The only differences where in some graphic details!
I've made a video to warn users about this card and help to spot FAKE cards:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAiqv_QE7NY
Please share it and be careful !!!!! Obviously I had my money back and I reported the user to ebay.

Who buys a Samsung PRO card, is for taking photos or videos....store big files...
Well: imagine that you put this card on your phone and go on vacantion....you shoot photos and.....nothing!
The photos are all lost!
55 GB are FAKE... 8 GB real... it's PURE CRAP !!!
The eBay seller where I bought it, has sold other 7 cards.....and now is selling A-Data cards (maybe fake too)......
Just look on eBay and you'll find lots of Samsung Pro fakes... :crying:
Thanks for the heads up!!! As a matter of fact, I remember reading in head-fi forum people were complaining about problems with Samsung 64GB card, wonder if it's related to the same thing...

I don't know: the Samsung PRO scam is really new... They used to scam with the Samsung ESSENTIAL series and Sandisk cards.
Samsung has to do something... like some kind of logo/sticker impossible to clone, to certify the genuine product...
thanks I was literally going to buy one on Ebay. Might as well go to Walmart instead <.<

Ment to write "UHS" at both places - but got the order wrong on one of them.
Hard to make a point ...
The difference however were, naturally, that the fake one have got "I" and the original one "1".
Sorry for messing up the post.
Thanks for the warning, I'm about to buy a 64gb microSD.

This card fake or not?
