If I am not mistaken, that is a standard SDHC, and not the micro SDHC that our phones require.
I got this one and works fine:
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-micro...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1281392547&sr=1-1
^That's what I have,
formats to about 14gb of space and is pretty snappy
There are a couple of off-brand class 6 cards that have shown up on ebay and Amazon called TopRam and 3C Pro. Anyone have experience with these?
I am familiar with the usual suspects (i.e. Sandisk, Kingston, Patriot, A-Data, etc). but was wondering if there have been any positive reviews with the ones above since then do tend to run substantially cheaper.
*Edit* Doh, not microsd!!

I'm going to get this and see how well it works. AData is a good company (bought some ddr2 for my media computer). The one from the Amazon link (SanDisk) is only a class 2 while the adata is a class 6 and a good price

The card you linked is SDHC, not microSDHC, won't fit. Wish you could get microSDHC class 6 for that price.

Just noticed that and was about to edit. That's what I get for surfing while working!
If you're lucky to have Micro Center stores in your area, their house brand 16GB microSD card is not bad at all. For $34, you get a card marked as class 2. But I've tested mine on my PC and its write speed is around 7 MB/s and read speed is around 14 MB/s, practically a class 6 card! No wonder this card always seems to be out of stock quick.
dang before when i checked it it was a micro sdhc weird

Class 2 = 2MB/s. The review I saw show the Sandisk can be as fast as 4 to 5 MB/s.

i know what class means. There have seen a few reviews stating 6+ writing. Sandisk is about as as good a quality chip that you can get so paying less and getting quality is a win win.

I tried my luck with a TopRam 16 GB class 4, and I have transferred a little over 8 gb of files onto it and use it daily with no complaints.
I purchased mine on Buy.com because it was a little cheaper there a few months ago when I ordered it.

I have a class 2 Sandisk card running A2SD2 and using 720p with no problems or lag on either.
AS far as I know the class 4 by kingston is the highest class 32gb micro that is currently available.
I agree with chaz. I purchased a cheap 32GB from Hong Kong via eBay and it was garbage! As always, caveat emptor.
Just bought 200 of them
Yea the 32gb card for under 40 bucks is a scam no doubt........or a once in a lifetime deal...Verizon has the 32 gb card for 49.99 for 2 hours and they got swamped with orders.
be carefull guys........there are lots of fake sandisk cards going around.. I personally have the 32GB Class 2 from Sandisk that i bought from Verizon and have no issues with it. My buddy bought a 16GB from bestbuy and it was only a 4GB.
Stay away! These cards are usually a much smaller 4 or 8GB card which has 32GB printed on it. The beautiful part is they are designed to appear to your OS as a real 32GB card, so everything will be all rainbows and lollipops at first... That is, until you start filling it and eventually end up going over the actual capacity of the card. What happens after that? Well let's just say it's not pretty.
Your data is not worth the risk.

Can anyone find a review or actual read/write rates on this card. I've searched Google but saw no reviews.
google.com/shopping
before anyone jumps to this there are 3C Pro class 4 cards on google, amazon has them for a hair more but less that 100$ and reviews are saying the transfer speeds are close to class 6. with a average of around 5.44.
also there is a brand called, TOPRAM that sells class 4 32gb as well as kingston.
im ordering 2 of the 3c pro's. they seem to have the highest performance ive seen in 32gb storage

Careful folks. Just read in another forum where a guy was advertising super cheap 32 Gig sd cards on eBay only to have his ad pulled down as being a fraud.

I bought 1 card from ebay and it was faked. After that I paid the higher dollar and got a guaranteed card. I have the sandisk card and and TBH the transfer speeds are about the same as they are on my class 4 16gb card.
I'm running the 32gb Sandisk class 2 purchased from Amazon for $75. Read speeds seem to be several mb/s faster than the stock 8gb card. I think it's a good value at this price.

I've been running this for a month or so, and it's fantastic. It's just what it says -- I ran some speed tests when I first got it, and it came up with something around 4.5 MB/sec write speed (didn't copy it down...should have). So basically it's a class 4 as promised. I picked it up when it first came out at newegg for $87.

I need to add my own review there, but here's the one I'm talking about:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139391
$13 more than I paid right now, but still a reasonable deal.
I just found an ebay.com seller listed a kingston 32gb micro sdhc (class 4) card for just $16 ...I dont whether its a genuine deal or not but till now has already sold more than 80 cards (within 12 hrs)....
here's the link http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270781614305&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Last week I saw a similar deal (32gb kingston for $20) I purchased 3 .... although paypal refunded all my money today when i raised a claim but it's such a waste of time....
Can anybody confirm whether its a genuine deal? ALso can anybody suggest a best deal (with worldwide shipping) for buying 32gb micro sdhc class 4 (or 10) card
Nope they are fake. when you plug it in it will show 32gb but in reality they are 1-2 gb cards. I once bought a 16gb flash drive which turned out to be 2gb. never buy flash memory on ebay esp from china. Buy from trusted sellers only.
the money for the "16gb flashdrive" was refunded to me.
Edit:

If he sends the same kingston card as shown in the pic.... is thr any chance of gettin fake ...
I hv seen many loose or unbranded cards as fake ....hv u encountered any fake card in kingston's retail packing?
Yes they are fake. Fake packaging. Made mostly for schmucks like you who think they are real because of the box they come in. If you put a Lamborghini logo and a ford, Its still just a crappy ford.
Anyone can duplicate packaging even if it has holograms. Everything is easily duplicated. Also the card they state is a class 4, Which I doubt. Its most likely a class 1. Either way Class 4 is useless. Get at least a class 6 card or class 10 which is best. If you care at all about watching movies or recording in HD onto the card.
LESSON OF THE DAY:
IF IT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.... IT IS!
Thanks everybdy... anyway the listing removed by ebay ...
Mods can close this thread...
If you need a 32GB class 4 - THIS is the best deal.
I have got the same one, and I can guarantee it is genuine. And I am having no problems whatsoever.

Recording and playback will be fine with a class 2 card. You certainly don't need anything faster than class 4. The only advantage a class 6 or 10 card has would be faster transfers between your pc and the card.

I have both...I can claim without a doubt my Class 10 32GB Patriot is a lot faster than my 16GB Class 4 Sandisk.
Where do I notice it most besides PC transfers? Media scanner.... the 32GB scans more than twice as fast as the 16GB on reboots after changes. Well worth the $86.

So it scans a bit quicker and costs nearly twice the price of the class 4....

It scans far more than a "bit quicker". It scans faster then the internal SD card!!
No matter.....I paid $600 for a phone...and am flashing custom ROMS and Kernels and donating to the developers and this site supporting them for more speed with stability, I am not going to cut corners in the same arena to save $40 on a lesser SD Card. I want to get the most out of the handset on all fronts. In that regard the class 10 card makes sense.
Then again people will pay $600+ for a handset, $300+ a year for a data plan and balk at paying $3 for a helpful app or donating to a developer. Strange world this mobile phone world indeed.

Just want to say that remember that Hong Kong is not China even if they are connected and the people look alike. Hong Kong has been a British ruled colony until 1995. China's government tried to make villagers make steel made in the villagers backyards. Do the math.

1) What's the highest gig the Evo 4G will support?
2) What type of sd card should I get, like company name and all that?
Thanks.
32gb, san disk class 6
There really isnt a best card, just get the highest class you can afford.
The one piece of advice though, do NOT buy memory cards off ebay. 80% of the cards on there are fakes. Purchase from an authorized retailer, like newegg.

The company that has had the most positive results is SanDisk. Not all packages will say what class the card is so look for a "C" with a number inside of it. 10 is the best right now but SanDisk ones are hard to find. Like a previous poster said, Class 6 is the most popular and fairly nicely priced.

Unfortunately, it's not just eBay. Both CircuitCity (when they were in business) and most recently BestBuy have actually had fake SanDisk cards ON THEIR SHELVES. That's pretty brazen by the forgers.

Because SanDisk seems to be such a big target for forgeries, I switched to Kingston for my memory cards in my phone, tablet, camera, my kids' Nintendo DS, etc. I've been very happy with them.
Just recently I got a 32gb Class 4 Patriot for under $40 (for my Acer A500 tablet) and I'm very happy with its performance. So don't overlook Class 4 if money is a bit tight because it will get you a much bigger card for the money that still does the job well.
I have a 16GB Class 4 Kingston in my HTC Evo 4G and currently have it partitioned for running Synergy RLS1, which is also performing very well.
I'm looking for a good quality or at least good performing 16sd card. I'm trying to find a good value, and I've found some class 10's on ebay for like $13, but I know there are variables such as what format they are, but I'm not too hip on what's best? I have a class 4 SanDisk 8gb, and it's time for something faster with more space for all of my backups. If someone maybe has an ebay or amazon link to something they've bought & have been pleased with that would be great! Thanks in advance.

Class 6 and reliable when I got mine.
I just ordered a UHS-1 30mb/s read speed, sandisk 32Gb micro sd card for 28 euro, for performance i would go with a class 10 or UHS-1 which operates as class 10s maximum speeds
Ideal for HD recording etc.
On a side note, any memory cards purchased off ebay should be tested for their true capacity, use a german software called H2testw, its gold standard for testing memory read/write speeds. And total capacity
One can not determine if the seller is 100% genuine or not unless its a credible company
It is possible to have a memory card stating its 32GB size for example, but in reality this card could really be only 8GB in size, a tiny program could be installed on a hidden partition and as you save more files to your card, once the 8GB limit has reached it overwrites your oldest files with the newly saved files to keep space, operating systems are fooled into thinking the particular card has a full capacity of 32GB which is not actually true

The worlds fastest micro sdhc is the sandisk extreme pro at 95mb/s, the largest size is 16GB at present, but the speed is useless in a phone, as no phone supports UHS 1 specification.
if it's to be used in a phone then the samsung 16GB class 10 is the fastest at write 21mb/s and read 24mb/s, largest size is 16GB.

Thanks Man! I never heard of sdhc before? Until Android supports it then it won't do much good for me, because I only use sd cards these days for transferring files from between phones, media storage, etc. I generally use usb drives for all my other portable storage needs, but I'll definitely be keeping my eye on sdhc for any advancements in compatibility.
My new sandisk class 10, is well over twice as fast as those old class 4 cards I was constantly shuffling around! This is great for transferring large rom files & movies to external memory.
Better go for SanDisk sdhc class6:thumbup::thumbup:

I meant sdhc sandisk extreme pro, and in the midst of screaming children I didn't finish what I was typing. Though I did not know that 64gb or larger is called sdxc? Is that why it seems they have to be formated differently out of the box or ppl tend to have issues when using them with Android?
