Just wanted to know your guys opinion on the following sd card, is it a good deal?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=3#scrollFullInfo
let me know!
That is a class 4 MicroSD card. For that speed, that is a good price.

Got mine on Amazon for a little less (real little) and free shipping ( http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-32GB-...JYCY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325739855&sr=8-1 ).
The SanDisk Class 4 was the go-to card for the NC (there's a chart floating around about r/w speed for different classes, sizes, and brands. Anything above a Class 4 is not recommended for this device (IMO) -- due to the performance-to-dollar ratio of the higher priced cards.
A little more then a dollar a gig... I'd say it's good

My comment was in reference to the cost/benefit of the steep performance vs. cost slope of investing in higher class cards.
My friend and I bought a Class 10 32 gig for only $39. I personally do not like Sandisk as a brand and was pleased to not buy their product, but that is just my taste.
Class 10 32gig that was rated well cost me about $50.

yea the one you linked to has sales tax which puts it like 20 cents below the price of newegg lol thanks for your opinion though
EDIT: oops, forgot to actually check and it doesn't have any sales tax! wow i actually just might get it from amazon then, even if it might take a bit longer... newegg(4-7 business days) vs amazon (5-8 business days) lol...
EDIT2: the link you provided, the pic of the card doesn't say what class it is and apparently there is a "newer" model here: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-micro...M-032G/dp/B004G60AD6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
surprisingly enough, its actually cheaper than the one you provided by like 20 cents after shipping and tax are calculated... yea the "newer" one needs shipping, but still no tax which is good...

Don't you think the onboard flash controller would be a limiting factor in the performance of that card? If a Class 4/6's performance on the Nook Tablet is near equal to the performance of a Class 10 on the Nook Tablet then wouldn't you think that the top end performance of the onboard flash controller is 6MB/s?
Just saying, a faster card may not be better, no matter how fast, or how much it cost if the onboard technology simply can't keep up it'll just work like a slower card.
Look at Micro Center's prices. They are a good gauge. Be careful buying ones off ebay, there are folks selling counterfeit ones.

I like to think that I'm thinking ahead. these were designed specifically with tablets and phones in mind. Right now I'm running a class 6 8gb I bought for my G1 originally. My phone is a shift, and I have a nook tablet in the way also. Once the tablet is fully and completely rooted and running cm9, it will be my primary android device for my work. The 8gb class 6 will go back to being my phones storage. As a side note, I have a 16gb class 4 card also. I could clearly see a difference running it. My phone would choke and sometimes corrupt the images when transferring numerous pictures at once via USB cable to my PC. Never had this problem before or after with the 8gb c6 card.
And, if nothing else ... I spent 30 bucks for a cool ass blue stripe! Lol.

I have thoroughly tested the class 4 sd card from transcend sold by Newegg. They work with everything I have put the NT through and work very well with playing video from SD. Work very well with Acclaim 1.4.1 revert to 1.4.0 I just shot a video of this and the new SD card root process.

Hey if someone would like to clue me in on how to test the r/w speed on the micro sd card, I'd be happy to give some info on this class 10 card.
It shows as being $32.99 + $1.99 shipping on their website. It's still a great price if it really is a class 10 card but thought I'd clarify the price.

What about transferring a movie over to the SD card and looking at the megabytes per second speed???? Do the same test on the class 2 with the same movie and compare.
FYI: For people in Canada, Newegg.ca has the same card for sale...16GB Class 10
I bought one and am using it in my phone -- and it seems fast enough.
I've also partitioned it for swap -- the rest for MP3s -- but anyhow...
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820161405
It's CA$28.99 + $9.99 S+H
Given the current exchange rate, Fry's is a better deal -- but at least it doesn't have to cross the border (ergo, no duty)
Hope this hasn't already been posted, figured it was a pretty good deal.
64GB Sandisk
Thank you so much for posting this deal! I surfed through my wallet and through all of the left over best buy gift cards I had I ended up with a free 64gb microsdxc! This was an amazing deal to begin with, but you just cant beat that!
Nice, not to bad at all. Glad you got one!
Don't forget to reformat the card in your phone - or else it won't work.
I've had mine for 4 months I think? It's great - I love it. I won't be able to live with less memory ever again - which will be a problem with most of the next gen phones seemingly going away from memory cards.

I'm not sure, but I don't think so yet (64gb).
This link shows benchmark pics of a class 10 16gb vs. SanDisk class 6 64gb, and the SanDisk is actually faster than the class 10 card.

I wish I knew what brand that class 10 card was. It's garbage. I just ran that tool thrice and my average read/write was 10.9/4.9MB/s respectively with a Class 4 SanDisk 32MB. That said, I'm also pretty pissed I paid 65 dollars for this card when I could have gotten better speed and more powahhhh for not much more if I waited. FML.
In case anyone doesn't know, the class rating on these cards is the minimum write speed the card will achieve, provided you're not copying a movie from a USB 1.0 PC or something else that would bottleneck it.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
To be fair you can't go with the read/write on a card unless you test empty. My 32GB card surpasses the Class 10 it is if empty but get near full and it' just below a Class 6. So the tests mean absolutely nothing unless you are testing with an almost full card. It's time I moved to a 64GB card my 32GB is too full with the games on it.. LOL

Thanks! Purchased one, and soon it will be in my phone!
I saw alot of bad reviews about this site, be careful
You do realize that class 4 has a MAXIMUM transfer rate of 4MB/s, right? That means that under the absolute best circumstances that it will take 2.2 hours to fill it up or to read all of the data.
But in real world experience, a class 4 that I had a couple of years ago would routinely take 25 minutes for a 4GB video to copy to it.
Just spend a little bit extra and get something that you won't want to throw across the room, well at least not as often.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... 600006209 600082443&IsNodeId=1&name=Class 10
I just bought one, let's pray I successfully receive it, and then I don't want to throw it across the room.
It would be very hard to find.
Seriously though, 32 gigs for 20 bucks ain't bad in my opinion, even if it's slow. Just start your super 32G file transfer before bed!
Finally will be able to have a good majority of my music on my phone... Google Music wasn't cutting it.
This is all assuming I'm not getting ripped off.
I have probably bought over 20 things from them, very good deals.. Toshiba Thrive 10 inch tablet for $250, crazy expensive watches worth $350 for $60 brand new with warranty and everything, PS3 Move stuff, RC Helicopter haha
Love their site, never been ripped off!

Anyone here use a 32gb microSDHC in their Rezound? If so, is the performance just as good as what came with the phone? Also, any experience with Class 10 vs something slower? I'm pretty sure that would only really affect video but I assume the one they packaged with the phone was worthwhile.
Anyway, I saw Amazon has a Class 4 (slow) 32gb for $19 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0056TYX8U) and figured I might grab it so I can store more music on my phone.

i invested in a class 10 32gig'er and i would not have it anyother way...especially if you plan on using the HD Cam mod that doesnt compress pictures...absolutely beautiful pics and no lag between snapshots...as far as the video...ive recorded several 720p videos and they look pretty good as well, plus youll have hours and hours of video with even a few gigs...i have about 20gigs of music and some movies and tons of ruu and roms...with the 8gb that are left i can still record 4 hours of 720 p video...i prefer 720p to the 1080p option because 1080p records at 20 fps vs 30 fps for 720p, id much rather have smooth video...i also prefer the lower megapixel settings than the full 8 just because no ever needs to print a picture the size of a billboard...but none-the-less i couldnt imagine my rezound with out one, infact the only thing that kept me from buying a class 6 64 gig card was the difference in speed, it is so much more important than the size
I use a Class 4 32gb that came with my old Thunderbolt. Still using it with no issues whatsoever, and I play music and videos from it a lot.
I got a class 10 32GB on one of the amazon.com lightning deals one time for $31. It's blazing fast. Can't speak to slower ones. I used a class 6 16GB before that, which I loved.
To tell you the truth; I pretty much filled up my 32g. Got a 64g in it now.
I have a class 4 32gb also, haven't had any problems with it. I think the speed is about 8MB/sec IIRC.

I have a Class 6 64GB in right now, I filled the 32GB right up between music, movies, ROMs, and HD pics.
I just bought a 32gb PNY class 10 at best buy the other day. So far, all transfers from SD to computer are hitting about 15mbps. My original sd only hits around 7. Much better performance without the risk of 64 gb cards.

The speed class you choose should depend on how you plan to use the storage. If you're going to be writing/reading data constantly, then you'll benefit from a proper class 10 mSDHC. If you plan on filling it up once and adding to it occasionally, then a class 4 or 6 would be fine, IMO.
I have two of these and enjoy the consistent 18MB/s read and 15MB/s write speed: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211558
Does it make the phone itself faster during normal use (compared to a slower card), probably not. However, it makes transferring roms, nandroids and music/video much more bearable. In the end, it's up to you and your usage style to decide if the higher speed cards will be of benefit.
More info on the definition of SD speed class specifications can be read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating
If your budget will allow, go for a class 10. Just in case you need to transfer some big file in the future.

It's called 'fixing' a SD card. There's a way to format the card where it fools the system into thinking that it's 32gb or 64gb, so that's what it will show up as 32gb or 64gb on the phone or computer, but in reality it's only 4gb. Long time scam, nothing new here.
Yeah... this is really strange. Get a suggestion and buy it from Amazon - real stuff & real price!
I get the feeling it's not actually 64gb. Not to mention that the card may have a high failure rate.
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
Acttualy if you check in alixpress.com you will find that 64GB card is 8 USD.
And that is a partly true. The other part is that 64 GB is written on the card but that capacity is 2 GB.
Once you max out the actual capacity your files get screwed beyond repair.
Worst gag gift ever!
I don't feel good on this one...
Are people seriously falling for these scams?
You honestly want class 10 high speed cards anyway as the Note 3 has USB 3.0... I sometimes like to take the card out the phone and plug it into my 3.0 adapter to get even higher transfer speeds on my 64gb card. (curious that the Note 3 slows the transfer rate down but whatever)
Just saw the thread title... Honestly, how stupid would you have to be?
Just don't do it. I learned my lesson with cheap SD cards. I had serious home button lag when waking the phone. Long story short switched to a class 10 Samsung 64gb and all lag is gone.
