Ok, this is something I know a lot of people are possibly concerned about. I seen it noted in other threads but never really discussed completely. I've been doing some research about class 6 and class 10 Micro SD cards. Now the prices really aren't that bad anymore for the micro SD cards. I was really surprised to see a Kingston 32GB MicroSDHC Class 10 for $109 on Newegg.com but I was not searching for prices rather searching for reviews from people who have used them. I don't care about what (1) person says, but of what (X) people have to say about a product to reduce the bias content. I am a fan on SanDisk and they claim a 15Mb/s read spead Micro SD card called the Mobil Ultra and is priced at $83.93 at Amazon.com
Through my research of it I found a review someone did of the 4GB model.
Before I go further checking other products though, I would like to know what the read/write speeds of the EVO 3D are and if that's not available then just the read/write of a phone with equal quality.
I just got a 16GB class 4 Sandisk from Walmart last week for $30, so I would say that you should not pay $84 for the same thing.
Edit: Just looked into it a little bit more and they claim faster sequential R/W speeds on the Mobile Ultra, I benchmarked mine and don't remember the exact numbers since I was more interested in the random R/W speeds. Either way it seems like a hefty price to pay for what seems to be an ~50% increase in speed.
Last night I picked up a Patriot 32GB Class 10 card from Frys for 84.00.
Is patriot any good? Im a little weary of going to brands I don't know. Also I read bad things about class 10 SD cards failing a lot.
Also in the review, maybe I should have posted the benchmark scores for people that didn't want to click the link.
"Testing showed that the Mobile Ultra microSDHC card offers more than adequate read and write data transfer speeds. Read speeds averaged 20MB/sec. and write speeds averaged 14MB/sec. This is significantly faster than a typical microSDHC card, and is a big jump in performance over a microSD card as well."
So I like those speeds. He used about 500MB of MP3 files for the tests.
Also the MicroSD cards used to cost like $100 for a class 2-4 16GB a few years ago. To me the increase of speed is worth it if the phone can use it. May allow for faster loading of games and apps saved on the SD card. I don't exactly know which is my reason for opening the thread and I'm sure others would like to know as well.
I had a Patriot 16GB class 10 that I replaced with the Sandisk. I had been trying to run a ROM off it for my Nook and kept getting FC's. If you only need it to do things like play music it will be fine, but I wouldn't be installing apps to SD if I were using that.
I've never even heard of patriot. I would definitely stick with known brands. Especially if your buying an expensive ass class10

Patriot is some of the best memory out for RAM, I would assume they keep their standards up for cards too.
I just bought a 32Gb class 10 SanDisk Extreme III at Amazon last night for 89.95.

I've bought PNY memory (flash drives, SCHC cards, etc) before and they've been good to me so far.

It's amazon either refuse the shipment or ship do an rma to ship it back. Since it's your fault they'll charge you shipping or you can ship it your own way back to them. If you refuse shipment they'll simply refund your total amount when they get it back. Cancelling payment isn't the right thing to do in this case, plus they can get it overturned with the cc company if their delivery shows it was received.

It's called anecdotal evidence. You have given some and so have I. If you are refering to the compatibility list? Ok. Glad this is a thread for HTC which has excellent compatibility with this brand. It works great in the Xoom I had for a week. Works great in my Evo 4g. Worked great in my GF's Hero until she begged me for a Nexus4g... I have yet to have a patriot work near or less than rated speed. Always much better than rated. Sorry you have had a bad experience.

This is a pretty darn good price for a 32GB micro sdhc! Also being Sandisk brand, they usually go for more. It doesn't specify what class it is, but its probably class 4? Anyways, its only $56 and eligible for Prime shipping! The msrp is $138 on the official website. Sweet!
Here's the official link on Sandisk's page...http://www.sandisk.com/products/mobile-memory-products/sandisk-microsdhc
EDIT: I guess this card is a Class 2, according to one of the reviewers at Amazon. They also said it performed very well though.

I use one of those for my evo, it works fine. Then again the evo came with a class 2 card so theres no reason why it wouldn't, its just initially putting stuff on there takes more time, read speeds are totally adequate for a phone.
I think the quality of the sandisk cards are great, I have a three year old 8gb in my tablet right now and it works flawlessly. That is a great price,but it seems kind of slow given current options out there. I'm probably going to buy a 16gb class 10. This patriot one seems like a good deal.
That patriot card is great. I actually have it in my tf right now. I've done speed tests on it that came out pretty high. There is an app you can use called 'sd tools' in the market. Good card for the price!
Sent from the most "Epic" phone in the world! ...Using XDA Premium app
I bought the Sandisk 32GB Class 4 version from Amazon for the price. It works great and when I watch 1080p movies there is no stuttering
Transcend make good cards too, for cheaper. I've been using a 16GB Class 10 SD with my camera for 5 months and haven't had a problem.
Although I haven't put it in a Transformer yet, I have the SanDisk 32GB microSD and through my SD card reader on a mac it tests at 5.1mb/s write, 13.9mb/s read.
Sandisk speeds
If the card is really slow, and it was cheap, it could be a fake, but don't jump to conclusions quite yet. I once bought a 16gb Class 10 SDHC card, and when I couldn't achieve the 30mb/s read (or anywhere near it) I contacted Sandisk.
I then spent the next week or so sending them pictures, serial numbers and other details such as where I bought it from and it took them a surprising amount of time to confirm whether it was genuine.
Once confirmed it was genuine, although I had a new sandisk multi-card reader, I had to get a specific sandisk sdhc only reader to achieve the fabled 30mb/s. Sandisk allowed me to send my current one to them and they sent me out one that would work to it's maximum capacity.
All this, just to say you can't trust the speed tests you get from windows or osx, as even when you have genuine cards and genuine readers, sometimes there's more to it than that. When I contacted Sandisk I mentioned that they should make it more clear, as nowhere do they say that you need specialist readers to get the best speeds!

Got a 16 FBI class ten from patriot, works great....exceeds guaranteed speeds.
Yeah, I do see a lot of bad reviews but my experience with Patriot has been great so far.
I have a Patriot 32GB class 10. Got it from Newegg awhile back for $100. Probably last year some time. I benched it when I got and regularly move heavy data to and from the card. If I remember correctly I got around 15 MB/s writes and 19 MB/s reads, well above the class 10 rating. I ran JDisk on the my OG EVO and I think I got 15 MB/s reads and writes. And in real worlds use I do get better performance when I remove the card from my phone as compared to PC/phone transfers but I don't think that has anything to do with the card. I haven't tried Darktremmor app2sd or even native a2sd on the 3VO but they both ran great on my OG EVO. I would recommend this card over cheaper less reputable brands. You get what you pay for.

I generally just go with Sandisk or Patriot since they always work great for me. Tried Adata once before and didn't have such luck. Though it was awhile ago so they may have improved since then.
Just picked up the Patriot 32gb class 4 at fry's electronics for 64 bucks and it is doing the work very happy
I'm loving that price but those user reviews are scary, last thing I want to gamble is bad sectors or the card completely failing.
I think I might just buy the Sandisk next month.

The card is usually around $90 but I saw it today and it was $65 but I've been hearing and reading the reviews that class 10 haven't been working on android and that the card will fail and you have to reformat thus loosing all your data. But try it out for yourself seems like a good deal.

I've been using class 10 cards on my Android phones since December of last year. No problems here. This isn't a bad deal really. I think I'll wait for them to drop a little more before I jump on the 32gb ship unless I fill my 16gb up.
I agree with housry, good deal, but not a great deal. I have 32GB SanDisk already, but I'm always checking out deals because I'll want/need a 32GB card for my tablet that I plan to buy very soon. My SanDisk is only a Class 2, but speeds are much higher as SanDisk always under-rates their cards. My speeds are similar to other brands Class 6-8 cards. What I was gonna say before all that rambling was that i paid less than $60 shipped(new and direct from SanDisk) for mine, great deal in my opinion for SanDisk brand.
Also, there is another thread in this sub- forum about microSD cards, their ratings, speeds, and the owners opinion of them. You should check it out to see everyone's results and opinions.

PNY class 10 16GB here.. bought it at best buy for 45 bucks!
PNY is another brand (besides sandisk) that you can never go wrong with, at least in my experience. Every DSLR camera i have ever owned has had a PNY card in it, never any problems. I didn't have to format mine either, just popped it in and it has been working flawlessly.
it performs like a class 10 as well, somebody mentioned sandisk underrates their cards, they do. and PNY, in my own experience, rates them exactly what they should be.

I am waiting for my Evo View to get here and thought I should get the SD card before it got here. I also firgured a new class 10 for EVO 4 would be a good idea. I got a 32 GB class 10 and a 16 GB class 10 for $62 including shipping for both cards.
I spent a lot of time shopping for these and this was by far the best price I found.
Here's the link:http://search.directron.com/newsearch.php?find=micro+sd+class+10&fromsection=1&within=
I hope this helps or saves someone some time..
Good find, though I think I would feel more comfortable purchasing from Newegg for $2 more for the same Patriot one or $45 for the PNY with better ratings. I've just never heard of Directron and there are a lot of merchants out there that sell cheap memory.
I agree with gordonzhao. With the number of fake microSDHC cards out there, it's worth the extra couple bucks to purchase from a reliable seller (Amazon, Newegg etc). Additionally, 32gb class 10 is very tempting but the failure rate is still pretty high for these cards.
I'm in the lookout for at 32gb card for my View, but I think I'll go for a Sandisk Class 4 from a reliable seller as soon as it drops under $30.
Deals on microSDHC pop up every couple days, so if you're in the market for on, keep an eye at slickdeals.
Edit: Newegg has the Patriot Micro SDHC 32GB Class 10 for $29.99 after $10 mail-in rebate (expires on 2/3/12) and free shipping. Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220547

Other than Sandisk everyone uses Samsung chips as Samsung is the leading maker of nand memory and always innovates first in this field.

Every once in a while I take a chance on a supplier, of course I do this a lot more than once in a while. I own an electronics repair shop and I don't always find parts at a mainstream supplier. I've only once been screwed, and it was a highly rated eBay seller. I never got the item, but eBay returned the money. Anyway, the SD cards are perfect. I put the 16GB in my EVO4 and the 32GB in my EVO View. they work perfect, I even copied my files from the 8GB I took out of the phone. it was a class 2. I can't believe the difference in how fast the phone is now. So I can verify Directron is for real and they do deliver quickly.

Kudos on the great find then! I'm on the boat with a Sandisk or Kingston 32gb, either class 6 or 10, maybe even a uhs ; ) I could live with a class 6, but what I really want is reliability more than the class 10.

You think counterfeiters can't make knockoff Patriot packaging? I wouldn't take anything for granted until you fill the card up to capacity (or close to it). The counterfeiters have gotten very good at their craft.
I have no doubt that there are good, legit, lesser known retailers out there that deserve business. But SD cards are one of the most counterfeited electronics items. I wouldn't risk it to save $2. Especially since Newegg is so freakin awesome. Most items ship free, and get to my house the day after I order it (despite picking standard shipping). And if anything goes wrong, their customer service is top rated.

Texas guys, pretty honest.
If they are counterfeit, then kudos to them. They both have the full advertised capacity, and I had a class 2 8GB in my phone(the class ten is notably faster for loading my apps and files), and the packaging, if it is fake, is far better than I have ever seen done on any fake of anything faked..... I am satisfied. Just wanted to share a good price.....

Naw, if its got the advertised capacity, its likely legit. The usual counterfeits MO seems to be buy cheap low capacity cards, change the screen printing on them to read a higher capacity (and even mod them so they report that capacity to the device), and package them. I suppose its also possible that they may misrepresent the transfer rate/class. But I haven't seen cases of that reported, just the faking of the capacity.
And from the previous response, it seems that seller is a decent one.
Just making the point, take nothing for granted on the internet. In particular, SD cards and phone batteries seem very frequently faked, since its pretty easy to re-mark and repackage them as being a higher capacity then they actually are.

Remember that the Class just refers to write speed (not read), which only affects tasks such as HD video cam recording, and copying files.
Also, Sandisk cards consistently outperform higher class cards from other manufacturers, and often much more reliable. I've run several Class 4 Sandisk cards on my HTC phone and Flyer, and never noticed it affecting performance including lots of video playback and some video cam recording. Always smooth with no hiccups. Although I never video record for more than a minute or so, so not sure if it will eventually need to buffer for longer recordings at higher resolutions.

Hey guys, someone just posted this over in the Evo 3D forums and I thought I'd share it here as well. There's no way to know if it's 100% legit or not, but they claim to be selling a 32gb microsd Samsung Class 10 for $15.98 with free shipping. The location is Beijing so it might take a little while. If it is indeed legit, then this is easily the best price I've ever seen.
Samsung Class 20 32gb on eBay
At that price its almost worth the risk I think.

Just yesterday, I bought the Sandisk 32gb Class 4 from Amazon for $30 shipped. After your post, I considered cancelling the shipment, and going for the ebay Class 10.
...but I think it's just way too good to be true. With every legitimate business selling Samsung Class 10 cards for at least 3 times the price...you have to question someone who would price the cards so low. It just doesn't make any sense from a business standpoint. Even if they did get a huge stock of microsd cards for real cheap, why not offload them for $30? They would still sell like hotcakes.

My gut says that something that cheap either has to be fakes or stolen (or otherwise ill-gotten) goods. Like you said, makes no sense for a legit seller to do this.
I think you guys are probably right. The item location says "beijing, China" and while the seller has 100% feedback in the last 12 months, it seems too good to be true.
I also found out that this same seller has a 64GB microSDXC card for $18.88... The cheapest I've found online is about $150. One guy in the EVO 3D forums said that Best Buy had them on sale for $99 a couple months ago but its back up to $199 at Best Buy now. So if he's selling that for $19 when it could easily sell for $150+... probably something sketchy going on.
Sorry to get everyone's hopes up. lol
Just for info
I have these 32GB+ cards
32GB Class 4 Sandisk
My original 32GB, very stable
32GB Class 10 Patriot
Gets corrupted easily, forcing you to wipe the card a lot usually when it reaches around halfway full. Known to have issues with android phones,
32GB Class 10 Samsung
Just got it recently, haven't really put it to a stress test.
64GB Class 6 Sandisk
Just got it recently, write speed from PC to phone is around 4MB/s on a USB3.0 but man... the size is so worth it.
There are so many sites offering stuff, usually I buy everything from Amazon. but wondering if anybody knows of any cool sales, looking to grab an SD for the phone. Hate to buy one only to find out after site X offered a 32GB for a killer deal lol, or if there is some crazy good 64GB deal out there.
I can get this on Prime which seems like a good deal with excellent reviews http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-microSDHC-Memory-Packaging-SDSDQM-032G-B35/dp/B004G60AD6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1337368411&sr=8-2
Would class 4 be too slow? I'm looking for a class 6 or higher.

I'm not sure b/c from what I'm seeing reading, the Scandisk micro SDs seem to perform better and sometimes way better benchmarking then their class specification.... and others seem to be just ok or worse (was looking at a class 6 from another company that others said performed more like a 4). Meanwhile the Scandisk cards were performing more like a 6 if not faster yet rated class 4.... odd lol
Prices will always be cheaper in the future so there is no point in waiting. Buy one if you feel like you need one right now.
Also, there are tons of fake memory cards out there so I'd advise you to pay a little more and buy directly from Amazon if you can. The one you posted is advertised on Amazon but "ships and sold by Everything But Stromboli".
This one is sold by Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007KFXIDE?psc=1

Weird, my link says "ships and sold by Amazon" for me?? I'm logged into my Prime account. I noticed mine says SanDisk microSDHC 32GB Flash Memory Card (Retail Packaging) SDSDQM-032G-B35,Black and yours says SanDisk Mobile 32 GB microSDHC Card (SDSDQ-032G-AFFP)... but seems to be the samething

I got my two SanDisk 32gb micro sd cards (class 4) for like.. around $20 including shipping each from 1saleaday.com .. I also checked to make sure they were actually 32 gb, or at least the first one (i just stuffed a **** ton of things into it and made sure I could do it).
Check the other threads in the accessories forum, there should be at least one or two threads about SD cards. This thread should be moved there, as well.
i always check out SlickDeals they always have posts about SD Cards.
In general Amazon looks like the best place, iIve seen 32gig class 10 for about $28-35.
Ending up ordering this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007KFXIDE?psc=1 , 21 bucks on Prime was a good deal. Great reviews and seems it performs better than it's "class 4" spec.
Looked at some of the class 10's but prices and reviews were all over the place. Was just wondering if any sales were going on, knowing my luck I get this and tomorrow there will be a 64gb somewhere for 20 bucks on clearance lol
