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

hate dealing with rebates etc.
how are the ebay sandisks/panasonics that go for $25ish?

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.
i bought this one:

and have had no issues. and im running apps2sd also.

I bought the Transcend 16GB Class 6 one. No complaints.

$90 bucks, no thanks. Especially when a decent Class 6 is $40.
I bought the pny 16gb class 2 from best buy. I'll find link later. It writes at about 7.5 mbps, and sdcard test rates it class 8.

Bit of a random question, this. I'm in the market for a new micro SDHC card, and was looking at Samsung cards - my Desire came with one (so they're good, from experience) and quite cheap too, but not so cheap I'm worried.
Anyway, this one: Samsung Essential 8GB Class 6 is, as it says, 8GB and a class 6. It's £9.99.
This one: Samsung Extreme 8GB Class 6 is also, as it says, an 8GB card with class 6 spec. It's £13.99.
Now, they're both the same class and both the same size and manufacturer. Are they essentially the same, or does the Extreme (other than the weather protection) do something that the Essential doesn't? (Which also lists all the same hardcore protection features the Extreme does)
I'm just a bit confused. Is there even a distance? Surely they'll perform the same? I'm aware classes is minimum speed spec but still.
Hopefully one of you will know!
Thanks!
I don't really know about samsung.. but I used to use a SanDisk Mobile Ultra 8GB Class 6 and I got R/W speeds of about 15mb/s! which is twice than what it *should* be.. it's actually the best sd I've ever had lol, would be a good thing to look for. It is abit more expensive though
Hehe, yes - I'd love to go Sandisk but I'm asking myself if I can even justify the £10 on the cheaper one. In the product description - and I'm not sure if this really /means/ anything in the real world, it says "24MB/s read speed is fast enough to satisfy even the most impatient data fiend."
I'm tempted to just go for the cheaper one to be honest!

wow an advertised 24mb/s speed is awesome. I'd go for it!
I went for it! Here's hoping it performs as well as they say it does.
I've got Data2SD on my Samsung class 2 card that came with the phone at the moment, so I'm expecting to see an improvement. It's bearable as it is, but lags a bit too often!
Anybody know where to find a good 64gig sdcard at a pretty good price thinking round 40 to 60$?

if u give it another month or so then u might start to see some good deals going around, specially drop in prize for the 64 gig, i woudnt trust ebay too much as it has a big reputation of being scammed with phony memory cards and they dont have a very well built system, not like before where u could trust the seller now u cant even trust anyone on ebay.......but like they said if ure lucky u might just come across 1.
confused????
Im getting galaxy s3 today. I been reading threads and searching within the tread but someone say something some one else says something else. so Im confused! especially since im noob. Which one is it for god sake!!! lol
Q. Which is class is better? I hear on other threads a class 2 or 4 is good but a class 6 and 10 is not necessary because for a higher speed the manufacturer use the randoms speeds, access speeds to make it faster. That class 10 don't necessarily means better,class 10 is too fast for for the phone that it will freeze or ppl having problems. You need a class6 for apps2sd or Data2sd.
So im thinking a class 6 would be good for me since I use apps2sd alot, roms, I will download some music, vids and movies. 32gb class 6 SanDisk - Mobile Ultra 32GB microSDHC Class 6 Memory Card bestbuy sale 4 $30 has anyone body tried it?
Can someone who really knows tech stuff about sd cards answer plz
Thank you, sorry for all the questions...

Hey neighbor, great choice on the S3, congrats! Apps2sd doesnt work on the S3, instead look into these links: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ight=app2extsd or even https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&hl=en Dont forget to hit thanks if thats what you are looking for...
I also use a 32GB Class 10 card, I feel 64GB a bit of an overkill.

I need to buy a 64GB. Do those links actually answer the part of his question concerning the actual class/speed the phone can even use?
Also, I'm now assuming higher class=faster?
.FLAC man...... SO MUCH SPACE. It took me all of 2 hours to fill the ~28 gigs actually availible to me.

lolz why do u think i went with the class 10 64 gig, because 32 gigs isnt enought, specially for nandroids and games etc that use large amount of files, someone said it was overkill well i beg o differ, when it comes to downloading large files nothing is overkill specially with a smart phone.....
Hey guys,
Thought I'd share this with you guys:
http://www.ibood.com is having an offer for 2 16GB Class 10 MicroSD cards for just €22,95 (offer only valid 10/01/2013)
Thats just €11,5 for one card and you'll still have a spare one.
I think it's a pretty good deal (if 32GB is too much for you).
It's not available in all countries so check it out!
(Btw, I'm not affiliated with ibood.com whatsoever)
Cheers!
Up. Valid until 23:59 tonight.

Nice. Btw I just bought a 32gb from ebay and wow there are alooot of fake ones. Gotta be careful. Good thing I researched before ordering it. Just a heads up.

Not bad! Although personally I would rather spend a little more and get 32gb in one card rather than having 2 to switch between. I have this card which is a pretty sweet deal! http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-SDSDQM-032G-B35A-microSDHC-32GB-Card/dp/B003HIWHN0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357931510&sr=8-1
got some weeks ago a 32gb class 10 (ums-1) micro sd card from sandisk, for my note 10.1, works flawlessly and is pretty fast. The price was 21,99€, what is actually pretty cheap here in germany^^
Update: the offer is no longer valid.

Yeah, there are. I remember back in the days I would buy fake chinese memory cards for my PSP. They were so incredibly cheap.
For my phone I want the real deal though, don't want to lose the pictures and the data, as for the PSP there were only ISO's on there.
(FYI; the fake ones still work, even after 7 years of which they were used constantly for 5 years)

Yeah, so do I but I figured there are some people out there that only need about 32GBs of storage (16+16, in theory that is - haha).
It's a pretty sweet deal for those people IMO.

I've got a Class 4 TDK 32GB one at the moment. Picked it up for 25 euros in a Media Markt here in Belgium, it was one of the best deals there was at the time.
Sucks that we have this extra 'Data Copy Tax' that makes storage so much more expensive in Belgium!
Just found this, figured I'd share. Definitely ordering a 64 for my c6906!

If it's from ebay, my bet would be its a knockoff for that price. Post up some read write speeds, if there legit I'll be 3 for that price!

What are you ready to bet ?
Tell me how to do the write/read speed test and I'll post it. But for how it works for me, it is not a defective unit nor a copy. Files transfer operates flawlessly, recording videos and taking pictures works like a charm. Mounting a 1go iso file in ppsspp is instant loading, no delay or lag.
I got it from Ebay France (usually run through fr, UK and DE) by auction. Brand new and sealed. That's why I was saying that I don't know if Amazon was making a good deal or not.
To let you imagine, I paid 100 euros for an Optoma Hd700 worth +-700€ back then, and whenever I search something I get my hands on bargains almost every time. Getting a Micro SDXC UHS class 10 for 15$ is like daily route

I use ebay all the time but for easily replica table things I stay away. I bought my canon t4i an tons of other goodies on there
The problem with knockoff sd cards is they work but not at high functioning speeds. I run my micro sd's in my go pro all the time, the fakes can't handle the speed an they cut out at higher resolutions and frame rates. Same goes with the dslr, I can't shoot high speed shots consistently. That's why genuinely are important :laugh:
Download sd tools on the App Store, that should tell you.

Damn I'm so red right now, my R/W speed is stuck at 20Mo/s max, you're right I got a fake luckily I didn't pay more for this, I would be mad! I just checked and it says Taiwan, I will contact the seller to tell him what I think.
Gotta search another one now, a true one! I want my 70/40 R/W speed!

Yup, it happens all the time.
I ordered this one, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E1XI5ZO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got for less on the sale yesterday but still worth it, even at that price. It all depends on what you use it for. Like I said, I need cards that read fast. If you just using it to store data then write speed isn't that big of deal unless it's under 15 a second (hd playback will have a tough time).
