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.

Micro SD cards

Just wanted to share this with you guys. Found it while browsing through my local craigslist. It has 16GB class 4 for $24.99 and 32GB class 4 for $39.99.
uvantis.com
this uvantis.com was just created 12/10/10 dont know if id jump just yet.
It accepts payment through paypal I see, I am also looking to buy the 32gb for 39.99. Free shipping as well. Seems to good to be true. I recently got ripped off from some stupid chinese website selling electronics, at least this website will take paypal I am figuring.
paypal only gives you the money back if they can get it back from the seller, and im guessing they won't be able to. I dont agree only shady companies advertise on craigslist, but it seems this one is.

There are several threads on here for Micro SDHC cards. There is a 32GB Micro SDHC Class 10 card by Lexar. It's $108 on Amazon, but someone found a link to a different store out there for $88. Check this thread.
I'll take some thanks too, iitreatedii.

No way. I hate swapping out my 4gb and 8gb now, as it is. I'd much rather have a 32gb and have it all on one card.

ummmmmm 109 vs 60, that's almost double, now im not poor, i own gucci t shirts and dolce and gabbana t shirts, a bunch actually, money has nothing to do with it, its the value you receive, 109 dollars is not worth 32 gigs of memory when 16 is plenty and if you need that extra little boost, either free some of the junk you shouldnt have on there, or buy one more, you shouldnt need to change a 16 gig 5 times a day...if you need it its there but there should be no reason why...nothing can justify 109 dollars for a memory card, im sorry if you feel otherwise
and the reason you must swap so much is bc you have a 4 gig and a 8gig...theyre small and probably slow...

lol its all good...and you shouldnt have to switch all the time, tell me what takes up so much room on your sd that you need 32? and if it came to say 21 or so, for the justification of 30 dollars to 108...you cant figure out a way to downsize or delete some unused files, i mean be realistic...

Why would you not get the 32GB if you can afford it. Not having to worry about running out of space is more realistic that having to worry about what files I have to delete.
So... you know how much storage I need and how I use it? To clear things up, I have been waiting on the 32gb card to come out because I wanted to replace my iPod. I didn't want to purchase a 16gb card because that wouldn't have been enough storage for my music collection and the occasional TV episode or movie. Two or three 16gb cards would mean I would have to put my music and videos on multiple cards and swap them depending on what I wanted to listen to or watch at the moment.
And it has nothing to do with the speed. I'm not doing apps2sd. I simply need more storage on one card. I'm surprised it's that hard to understand. Talk about fail...

{ Can I } extend to 32GB SD ?

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.

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.

Looking for a 64GB class 10 MicroSD card

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.

I'd really prefer better a quality; known by public; guarenteed one rather than trying my luck with some chinese one..

What might seems too basic info for you might be my biggest helpful tip..

FAKE Samsung PRO 64 GB MicroSD SCAM ! WARNING!

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:

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...

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.
