Any lower?

beware of fake one's on ebay.. I'm just saying...

What's the difference of the fake ones? Life expectancy? Reliability? I was looking at maybe a little over $100 dollars. I don't understand why they are so expesive. I purchased a 32GB SD card for my Netbook for $60 made by HP. Hasn't failed me yet.

From what I've read, the fake one is actually a 4gb or something, and then changed the info to show 32gb. So you copy data to it, looks like it will work, but when you try to access it, it will show corrupted files.
I wouldn't take a chance on corrupted files

Before I jump on this what are you guys input. Check out the link. Looks fishy to me. I'm pretty sure it's a knockoff Sandisk.

I'd recommend getting a 16GB Class 6 for around $60. When faster, cheaper 32GB cards come out, then upgrade to that.

yea i agree i just did a quick ebay search...prices should come down soon

i am getting a 16gb for now. my 8 barely has 5 GB on it, but i know i will shoot more video and play more music with the evo. just pulled the trigger... new egg has transcend 16gb class 6 for 69.99 shipped. when the 32s come out, i will pop the 16 into my wife's phone or our digital camera

What do you guys think of that "Sandisk" 32GB card? Should I buy it or are you guys a little skeptical?

I actually bought three Sandisk 32gb on ebay the other day, kept two and sold one. I was skeptical because they were fairly cheap, but they came in what looked like official Sandisk packaging and I was able to transfer 26gb of data, movies, etc and accessed all info perfectly on both my HD2 and Nexus One. I would not even think about touching the $18 ones...

I can confirm its legit and much cheaper than the real one others are selling. I would not even think about touching the $18 ones...

Wait.. So is it a YES (I should buy it) or NO I shouldn't.

What I was saying is that the ones I'm selling are legit and cheaper than the guys selling for $385 and $395. Go look at the completed items and you will probably see the one that seems like a fair price. I would not purchase one if anyone is selling them for less than the $199 MSRP because they are probably fake including the $18 ones.

I'll throw $60 your way and a bunch of high fives if I can have it for that price. Hell I'll throw high fives for everyone.

Do not buy the 32gb cheap knockoff on ebay. Ask them what is the formatted size and what class it is and see if you even get an answer back.

weedahoe, I agree, definitely ask that first. The ones I bought/sold were formatted to 29.7gb and class 2...

What does class 2 mean? How is it different from class 6?

Kingston 32GB microSDHC (class 6) - is it real?

I have just bought this for my Desire:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/32GB-KINGSTON...AsAccessories_MemoryCards&hash=item230c6c00d1
(scroll down a little cuz the listing is over, but u still can see the description)
It says that it's a brand new 32GB class 6 microSD card by Kingston, but I could not find anything about it on the net. The only 32GB Kingston cards I could find were class 4.. so, can it possibly be a fake? The seller is with 100% positive and is from UK.. What do you guys think? Maybe it's sort of a new product still to be introduced or something?

Chances are is it not a class 6 as Kingston does not list it as a product available from them.

10 Year Warranty ? I 've never heard As far as i know here we only 've 5 years Warranty for SDCards I don't know much about UK One

Well, I'd take it even if it was a class4, I would be disappointed though. I'll of course let you know about how it all went when the card arrives.
More opinions perhaps?

Sounds like a scammer.
Most high classed cards on eBay that are sold cheap usually are scams.
Say like you bought a 16gb card.. It would come as 3gb.

Well, then I just return it, and eBay offers buyers' protection, so I don't think I will lose a lot. Also, that seller really has sold a lot of things, has been on eBay since 2008 and has 99% positive feedback.. Do you really think he could be a scammer?
Also, 30 pounds is not THAT cheap, is it?
Here is feedback on the seller: http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=viraldarshna&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller
As you can see, I'm so hoping this is actually a good deal and not a problem sending things back and so on..

That is extremely cheap.
16gb cards go from 70+ USD (52 euros)

I bought one as well - mine is coming from Japan however =)
Ebay item=220707787049 (I'm not allowed to post outside links yet since this is my first post.
True though that Kingston does not seem to have such a product... we'll see when it gets here =) If you get it sooner, could you post a speedtest?

Yeah, I'll do that. Hope we both get lucky with these cards..

Yeah me too. Mine has just been mailed, in about a week I'll report back =)

well.. I bought a similar item, a Kingston 32gb Class 6 SDHC. It was cheap, so I had to try. Got it today, and tried a few speed tests, and only got about 2 mb/second
made a complaint on ebay, and the seller is now offering me to send him the card back, so I can get a refund... I'm more interested in seeing, if this really is a 32gb card.. so I start to copy... this is going to take a while, so I will be back with more results later

So, is the capacity real?

Ok, so I got the card. The markings look cheap and fake, the packaging - too. But the card is indeed 32GB. And, of course, not class 6. Mor like class 4, though at the very beginning the writing speed was less than 4MB/s. I can't make up my mind if I should keep it. If it's really a class 4 card, it's okay. But I'm afraid that it may corrupt my data or eventually go bad.. So, is it safe to call it a class 4 card? What would you guys do, would you keep it? Rememeber, it's price was under 50 bucks, so maybe it's worth the bet?
I attached the benchmark of it.

Ok so, isnt there some benchmark that tests if the full card is undamaged and writable? If it isnt, you still got a cheap 32 gb card... right?

Don't know if this test tests that. Dunno any other tests u can run on Ubuntu either.

It turned out to be a complete fake with less than 5GB available.. He is not getting his money. And nor is he getting that piece of **** back, for it belongs in a trash can.
I hope those *****es rot alive.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully I will be a bit luckier. I'll report back when I've received mine...

I bought that exact same card.
When the card arrived it was slow (around 1-2Mo/s instead of 6+) but after only 3 days of regular use it stopped working.
It wasn't recognised anymore by any reader (tested in PC, Wii, camera and Android phone) and I couldn't even format it.
So I had a close look at it and noticed the product number was SDC4/32GB which is in fact the product number of Kingston's class 4 32GB micro SD. (since they never produced any class 6 32GB micro SD, only class 4 and 10). Also the inscription was a bit different from what I could see on goole image for Kingston microSD.
Finally I sent it back to the seller who gave me back my money.
Here's a pic of the card: http : // hpics.li/09be9f2
Edit: As far as my opinion goes: this card was a fake, although it's just me and I can't really prove it.

Your picture is a proof.

So I just received mine as well, package looks real but no idea if it is... Will test it tonight, no computer nearby...

[Q] Memorette 32GB micro SDHC?

Are these cards junk or worth buying? Never heard of the brand, assume its a Chinese manufacturer.
Anyone have one of these, try them, good/bad experience with them?

Memorette has been around for a while. They made blank cassette and video tapes, and now also make blank dvds and cds.
I have Clear & Present Danger and The Rock recorded on a Memorette video tape. I don't have a VCR though..

Anyone else have any experience with the company and/or specifically their micro sd cards?

Do you still have it by chance? Did you try reformatting it other than FAT32? Did it read the total capacity correctly?
Thx yes i do NOT mean memorex, they are relatively speaking a name brand. The brand is Memorette, which im sure is some chinese stuff...considering buying them but want to make sure they are worth buying.

They are a South Korean manufacturer of all sorts of data drives etc.

I always stick with high quality Panaphonic products. Or Sorny.

Yes, it's a well-known Korean manufacturer. The only question is: will you get original product of fake. I don't know how to see the difference when buying online.
Original Memorette cards should give you 11Mb/s write speed. Friend of mine bought this for $99 a time ago. You can find such cards for $45 on eBay but are they original...

Memorette 32GB
The 32GB MemorETTE cards can be purchased online for about $10 per card in quantities of 15.
How many people think that a $10 card with that capacity/Class 10 can actually exist in the year 2011?
I tend to think these are knock-offs.

Yeah at that price, what you are getting is most likely a 2 gb card that has been hacked to read 32gb. When you go to add your media or whatever, everything after 2gb is currupt and not really there since you ran out of space after the actual card size.

I have a 32 GB Sandisk class 10 in my EVO and it works badass.

Just FYI I bought this card off ebay and I have to say DO NOT BUY!! As it was mentioned some where else. it will write like 2 or so GB then all the rest of the data becomes corrupt. I am now currently in a depute about this card and all in order to get my Evo to be my end all MP3 player (which it already kinda was) with Google Music.

Hey, I bought this one as well, fake as it can be. I have also ongoing claim with Paypal regarding this. Looking at it afterwards it was too good to be true anyway.

I also had a bad experience with this product. I could put 32 gb worth of info on it but it would never read all of the info. I mostly used it for movies and I would put about 10-15 movies on it ( each movie about 1gb) but I would only be able to watch the first couple of movies once I put the card in my tablet. My computer and tablet would show that it had 32gb on it so I just though it was my device and not the card. I think I am screwed because I bought it 3 months ago. What Ebay seller did you Buy it from. Maybe if we all bought it from the same person then Paypal will allow me to open a case.

I just thought that My G-Tablet wasn't reading the card correctl or the format of the movies wasn't working so I kind of gave up. I should have done a search to see if others were having problems.

I have one of these - 32gb memorette sdhc. Does not work well in my HTC Sensation. pictures start disappearing, video doesn't play back, carded apps begin to fail.
Now here's the odd bit - seems to work fine in Lumix G2 camera. Pics, video all stay just fine. Even when i put this in my phone after - the lumix G2 pics stayed on the chip and could be viewed on the phone fine but anything taken on the andriod phone started to become corrupt after a hour or so.
Can anyone else do this test??
***** I now think this is because the camera does add extra data so its not going over the 2gig which these cards are most likely to be. Got refunded anyway *****

It is only supposed to support up to 32gb but I am pretty sure I read somewhere that someone was using a 64gb. I wouldnt be surprised if 64gb worked just fine.

Ok from what Ive seen, the camera and camcorder no longer tells you how many pictures/video time is remaining. Is that atleast correct?
Sent from a phone with kNOw CiQ kOnane...

I ordered two and have used these befofe the sdxc system in the micro sd cards seem to be read as sdhc so that these phones can support it. On an evo even it reads perfectly fine. On the ET4G I havent checked the camera information but it does transfer at 30mb/s (read/write fluctuate between 15-20mb on actual transfer and write is just a bit higher).

Too much disk space, therefore more time spent taking pics/vids/watching movies resulting in angry wives/gf's feeling neglected?

Not if you are taking pictures of them.

ordered.. thanks!

I have been using the 64gb sdxc card for about a month now. It works great!
When I first installed it my phone did not recognize it. Easy fix....
1.menu
2.Settings
3.Storage
4.Unmount SD card
5.Format SD card
The only minor issue I have had is "media scan" can sometimes take a little long if I have too much media saved on the SD card. I usually just place a period in front of large folders that contain movies and private photos. This will hide the contents of the folder from the "media scan".Then I just access them with ES file explorer. The media scan never takes anymore than a couple seconds and its NOT really an issue.
Also for some strange reason Windows will not recognize the card when plugged in to the computer directly but My Mac will. When transferring files from Windows I just use the USB cord and transfer via mass storage or MTP Application.
BUY IT NOW!!! You will not regret it.

I forward this to a few techy friends, we always share deals. One of them stated that this site is known for selling counterfeit SD cards...any truth to that? I would hate to dish out this type of money for a fake card.

Don't know if it's widespread or isolated incidents.
http://photo.net/digital-camera-forum/00LQNF
The above is from 2007 though, so I don't know if it's relative to today.
After extensive Googling, I have come to this conclusion:
There are hardly any incidents about fake SanDisk cards from Adorama.
There is the one incident above, which may have stuck in peoples minds over the years, but is not indicative of a widespread problem.
Most of all that I read about Adorama is positive, or neutral.
Adorama is in NYC, and is in direct competition with B&H Photo, another reputable Dealer to buy electronics from, so I don't think either wants to blow it, so to speak.
The above is just my opinion, but if Adorama had issues with widespread SanDisk problems, I likely would have found it.
Out of the 2 stores above, I usually shop at B&H Photo, whether in store or online. No particular reason other than I went to B&H Photo years ago, and have continued to go there if the price is right. I've been to Adorama once also, and had no issues. I actually purchased recently a SanDisk 16GB Class 6 card from B&H Photo, but purchased the Samsung 32GB Class 10 card a couple of weeks afterwards from another Dealer.

Adorama advertises a lot on 660 AM WFAN sports radio. Pretty big name. I'd be surprised if they wouldn't work with someone who received a bad or fake card.

Found this video with the card being used HERE

Thanks Biker1 & The Root for the feedback... I am yet to get let down from buying a product that I heard from a member on xda developers...even more recommended.

They call them mensches. As a chosen person I'm sold. I believe the store is closed on Friday night and Saturday for sabbath.

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.
