I'm looking for a Micro SD card for my Wing. Naturally I want the biggest card possible. I found a website that has a few card by different manufacturers, and all at different prices. Is there really a difference? Does SanDisk really make a better product than A-Data? It appears they want me to think so since they charge $20 more for their 2GB card.
I got a 1GB Kinston microSD and a 2GB SanDisk microSD. I have no problems with both cards in my XDA. Smooth and reliable, so far. The only problem a encountered so far is that I can't get my 2GB microSD card to work on my PCs. It just won't read and formating doesn't work either, but as I said I have no trouble using them in my XDA.
The 2GB A-Data microSD works well with the Herald. I got the one that's packaged with a USB "microReader" since the phone only does USB 1.1. With the reader attached to my keychain, this 2GB card also doubles as portable memory.

I got the 2GB ADATA from NewEgg and it works just fine in the Herald. Using the included SD adapter, and I can read it in my Toshiba notebook's built-in SD reader. No complaints whatsoever.
i bought my kingston 2gb micro sd from buy.com for $15 before shipping.
I bought a Transcend 2GB MicroSD from newegg.com for $26 w/ s+h and it works great on my Wing. It also comes with adapters for standard SD and MiniSD.
And you have seen this?

The Wing is SD 2.0 compliant, so it can work with SD HC cards up to 32 gigs. You can buy a 4 GB SD card, although it will cost around $100-$200.

doesnt this site sell the 4gb micro sd card for $60-$80 after conversion to US dollars? so that means we should be able to get it around that price too very soon if not already

That one wouldn't work because it is a full size Sd card.
Hey everyone, I'm new here but I thought I could help out. I bought a 8GB microsd card from a-data through newegg for about $56 with shipping, and it works fine in my new t-mobile wing which is pretty much bone stock at the moment.
I have a SanDisk 8GB card and everything works great

8gb micro sd hc
I bought a SanDisk 8gb Micro SDHC and wouldn't register on my WING. I quick formatted several times but didn't hit me to do a full on FAT32 format. Once I did that, the 8gb was registered. Much thanks to the forum!
AMAZON
I saw some 8gb on Amazon a couple nights ago for about 6 bucks
Try ebay, just bought two for each of my phones for 40+(total for 2) with sd adapter and card reader, many different sellers on ebay, i just try to stay away from china sellers because of the shipping times.
是的，完全没有问题，因为我目前用的就是8gb的，花了145地钱呢！
ive had the 8gb from sandisk for 2 months now. it worked fine until now. my wing reads is very slowly now and my cpu does not even recognize it. i even got another card reader, it took me 3 hours to backup everything off the card through my phone via usb. im now back to the 4gb... i need my 8gb back so badly...
what about 16 or even 32gb ? is it worth to use one of these sizes???
I had a 16GB in my S621, just brought home my new P4351 (Herald) and it works perfectly.
yes, 8GB (cheap) microsdhc is working (at least on my herald)
Never knew memorette made MicroSD cards as well!
Anyone have one of these, try them, good/bad experience with their microsd cards?
Memorette 32gb Micro SD SDHC CLASS 10
I just bought 2 of them on eBay. Hope they are good, let you know in a month or so when I get them from China(worth the risk at £12 each and paid via paypal so pretty safe)

Interesting discussion here.

Becareful buying micro sd cards on Ebay. I got scammed a few months ago. Bought a 32gb micro sd class 10 card for what I thought was a very good price. When I hooked it up to my computer with an usb adaptor it was recognized and showed 32gb in size. When I tried to move a large file (10Gig) it said "no disk space". It turned out to be an 8gb micro sd card labeled as a 32gb card. They installed a program in the micro sd card to show 32gb when you open it up in your computer. I got my money back through my credit card company and I emailed other buyers who bought them from this seller. Funny thing is everyone else thought it was fine and left good feedback for that seller until they tried adding more than 8gb into the card. I would stick with buying stuff like micro sd cards, usb flash drives, etc on Amazon, Newegg, or Frys. Its not worth trying to save $10-$20 or more on a $80 microsd card from Amazon.
Oh yeah I just read the feedback on one seller of the Memorette 32gb Micro SD SDHC CLASS 10 and I read a few "DOA", "not as advertised but refunded", "my computer can't read it". The rest who are happy probably didn't even try putting 30gb of data on the card yet. Again buyer beware.

i have tried the same thing, and the problem is not many is testing the cards.. i bught 3 class 6 before i got the real class 6 card, got my money back the other to times thow, but when buying from ebay always test the card as the first, there are many cheaters out there.
and yaa again the funny thing was that many said this was good, so i pick out 2 or 3 guys and ask them to try it, and guess what, they were cheated as well they just didnt knew it..
Do we know what maximum speeds the TF is capable of? I just read that thread posted so it got me wondering if its worth buying a class 10 card or not. I tried looking online but didn't really see anything about it. Is it safe to assume then that a class 10 will perform to its maximum when used in the TF?
Make sure you test the capacity of your micro sd card. Too many scams on memory cards from China. They will use a smaller capacity memory card and install a program in it to make it look bigger than it is. They use 8gb cards to make it look like it is 32gb. When you get your memory cards test it by adding large files to capacity.
Read the feedback left by a buyer. Many leave feedback before testing out their fake 32gb microsd cards LOL.
By my test it's a class 5, but the buyer is really good and fast!!! NICE EBAYER Member id davidegatto ( Feedback Score Of 62) Apr-22-11 02:50

For stuff like that, it's better to buy from a reputable vendor.
I got a 16GB class 6 card off of Amazon a little while ago to use in my Nook Color. I'll be using it in the TF. 16GB will be plenty of storage for me. Maybe when 32GB cards are a bit cheaper...
Sucks that tablets didn't go with full size SD card slots. I'd have much preferred that. 32GB SDHC cards aren't that expensive.

I hear you! a SDHC slot doesn't take up THAT much room. It's a shame they only included it in the keyboard dock I don't always want to carry around my dock with me
Also as a photographer, it's kind of a shame to not be able to plug in my camera's SDHC card directly into the tablet to view the pictures
Seen a fair bit about fake cards. Just as well I have paid through paypal using my credit card just in case.

MicroSD's aren't fast enough Slow SD cards really limit how many shots you can take in a row. I tend to do a lot of burst RAW shots and if the SD card isn't fast enough, the buffer will fill up too quickly
what class of SD are you using? People are purchasing class 10 microSDs to use with the transformers at reasonable prices.. still not fast enough?

30MB/s corresponds with a "Class 30" The class rating is just the guaranteed minimum speed in MB/s
No no no no never use memorette. I did, got a 32g card for 50 bucks. Put it in my mac to transfer 25g of stuff. Stopped unexpectedly after 20, after that it won't be recognized by either my imac or my phone, won't even allow me to format using terminal in the mac. Beware! U can get sandisk class 4 for 75 on amazon, it works pretty fast. I used it.

Just don't want to sound thick here, but my sandisk class 4 gave me speeds comparable to other cards class 6... Juz saying... Microsd classes are not as distinct as sdcard classes. Just my opinion, please no flaming!

I bought a SanDisk microSDHC 32GB class 4 for $63 and arrived today.
I did the test and the constant writing speed for 16+gb was 5.15mb/sec and the reading at 14mb/sec. More tests will follow.

To anyone out there that has used Micro SD Cards....
1) First of all, I know the A101IT supports SDHC Micro SD Cards but does it support any 32GB Micro SD Cards at all??
(All the 32GB Micro SD Cards I've seen show the SDHC written label on them).
2) If the A101IT does support the 32GB Micro SD Card, what manufacturer brands along with their Class #'s have been found to work when tested with data and media in upwards of 16GBs in this case.
(I.E. - SanDisk 8GB Class 4/... Works for me on my A101IT).
Reason:
I want to put my Band of Brothers HBO TV Show Series (7.20GBs), True Blood HBO TV Show Series (19.3GBs), about 1-2GBs of music, a couple DVD Movies, and finally leave the few remaining space on the card for Market Apps and put ALL this ^ on 1 card because I don't like always carrying around my external portable 500 GB HDD. I have an 8GB Micro SD Card and I need more space on it so please advise of bigger and better cards. Thanks!
In other news:
From sources I found on Yahoo and Google, I read that SanDisk is in the development stage of working on a 128GB Micro SDXC Card for mobile devices AND a 128GB SDXC Flash Card for devices like digital cameras to which both will reportedly be available by the end of 2011. Reports show that for the 128GB Standard SDXC Card at 133x speed made by Lexar is roughly $700 and the 128GB SDXC Flash Card at 100x speed made by SanDisk is $1500! So if the below configuration of HC/XC is what SD says it is then in the coming years we should see a 2TB Standard SDXC card for like $5000 and a 2TB Micro SDXC Card for like $10,000?! Then fast forward and imagine about 30 years from now where we would have a double-sided Micro SDXC Card with like 6TBs total (3TB on each side) as the total amount of space on the card and costing like $20,000?! ... Yay, can't wait... *(sarcastically).*
SDHC: 4 GB to 32 GB
SDXC: >32 GB to 2 TB
Yes the Archos can handle any non fake 32GB microsd's.
I specifically say non fake because if you buy them cheap it might be one that doesn't really hold the data ( had one given to me that was fake ).
And for the price of the SDXC Crads.
I bought a 540MB harddrive for DM1500 in 1990, because i needed the space then.
About 1 year later it was around DM500.
Now you get 1TB for €50.
And with this its the same, when they produce more, price will drop dramatically.
Well I got 2 different 32GB Micro SD Cards. One is by Kingston at a Class 4 & the other by a no-named company because there is no name on it and that one is at a Class 6. I formatted each to NTFS, FAT32, AND extFAT and absolutely none of it works like it should. For each card I put like 6 GBs on them and loaded them back into my A101IT and only part of the stuff comes up that I transferred to it like my folder of strickly .apk's, a few but not all of my documents, and the folder I made for the Swap Files from another thread here on XDA. Other stuff on the card like the folder of my Movies, Band of Brothers TV Show Series, and the entire folder of my pictures never show up and it looks like it just randomly deleted the other stuff. When I go to open up either one of my 32GB SD Cards from on my A101IT.... everything but my folder of .apk's are still on the card?!
Is there anything I did wrong in formatting or any way I should format either card? Is my problem that I should use a Class 8/10 Card regardless of the card's GB size??
Most of noname SD cards are fake. Lots of Kingston and Transcend cards are fake too the only way I found is to buy from well-known shops where chances to get a fake are lower and you can get a replacement if something went wrong. As usual cards for $90 work better than $40, but you can get a garbage for full price
It seems both yours cards are fake. There are a lot of cards on the market marked as 32Gb and their real capacity is 8Gb maximum. What did you use for formatting?
I've bought mine from Amazon directly and waiting for delivery. It was $60 for 4 class. I'm worried a bit but hope for better
Well after formatting both 32GB Micro SD Cards on my laptop, I found that both cards are truly not fake and each of their real capacities are at 31.7 GBs and 30.9 GBs respectively. I was thinking that they just had some kind of read/write problem but I formatted both cards to the default NTFS again for like the 4th time and now they work on my A101IT?! I think the problem lies with my Toshiba laptop's USB ports and its built-in SD Card Slot because my laptop is like 6 years old and holding onto a thread to keep from dying (I've been having other non-SD Card related problems lately too). But I think it's solved now because the cards both work.
Does archos support ntfs for sd card ?
I'm lurking through eBay looking for a 32gb SD card and they all say "Make sure it's compatible with your device".
What is the best 32gb SDHC card for the E3D?
Which ones work and which don't?
Thank you.
Usually when they say that it's because there is sd and sdhc. SD is usually up to 2GB and sdhc is 4GB on up and the Evo 3D supports up to a 32gb micro sd card which is sdhc. You should be good. Most sd and sdhc is seen a lot with cameras. Hope this helps
I'm pretty sure does work , most SD cards will work what they mean is about a 32 gb SD card working on your device or if it supports the speeds as well, old phones supports up to 16gb and didn't support class 10 SD cards
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Be careful!
A lot of Ebay cards have turned out to be fake 32GB cards. You do get what you pay for! Also, if you're going to get a 32GB, make sure it is class 10. And I would definitely test it for bad sectors. Unsure what the name of the utility is, but I know I've seen one talked about here. Just be careful.
Title says it all. What memory cards are people using, what in the consensus best option?

sandisk is another good memory card
I simply used samsung because I had these cards unused a long time ago...
I have had problems with Sandisk in Samsung phones but not sure if that issue has been fixed... That was a while ago...
Samsung 512gb SD card works well too...
I'm going to reopen this discussion, if folks are willing.
We all want high capacity cards. The Tab S4 is a laptop replacement tablet after all is said and done.
All Amazon prices.... (6/28)
So you have four choices....
SanDisk Extreme, 1TB (now available on Amazon) for $427. 88
SanDisk Extreme 512GB for $169. 99
SanDisk Extreme 400GB for $85.49
Or
And Samsung EVO Select 512GB for $100
According to reviews the SanDisk cards have a higher read speed than the Samsung card, but the same write speed.
Seems to me the 1TB card is just too expensive. The faster read SanDisk 512GB card is more than 50% more expensive the equivalent slower read Samsung card. The SanDisk 400GB card is half the cost of the 512GB card.
So which do you choose and why?
I currently have an older SanDisk 400gb card, am leaning toward the 512GB SanDisk. But salivating over the 1TB card.

Tab S4 is limited to 400gb sd card per spec or has it been tested with 512?
Sent from my SM-T830 using Tapatalk
The SDXC format is good to 2TB. They had a similar low "upper spec" for my Tab S2 of 256GB and 400GB worked fine. Virtually everything I've read says that the upper spec they quote is not based on the reality of the hardware. The way one site explained it was that the upper spec is set by marketing based on the largest available card out at the time the marketing material was generated. If I could afford it, I'd go for the 1TB card without any worries
There are several, other card brands out there now on Amazon for 512GB cards around $100. It is hard to find direct head-to-head reviews of the actual 512gb cards, but it seems like it holds true that they all write at about the same speed, but SanDisk Extreme reads faster - but costs 50% more.
A possibly unrelated aside, I've attached a 1TB hard drive via USB without any issues outside of the pain-in-the-*$$ that NTFS gives. As far as I can tell in the memory manager, USB OTG drives and memory sticks are treated the same as the SD card.

Well, if you read the earlier posts you'd see I use a 512gb sd card...
What you need to remember is that the specs put out are generally what was available at the time...
No company is going to put out that the tablet will support a 2Tb card as that isn't currently available but that is what SDXC is supposed to support, then it will go to the next standard., Heck, most phones available at the moment won't support the 1Tb card according to their specs as these were NOT tested pre-release...
