AWESOME deal on 64gb micro sd card (if its real) - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

so i was looking to spend my ebay bucks on a 64gb micro sd card. and i found this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SANDISK-MOB...Accessories&hash=item4ab6434f4c#ht_2469wt_952
but the catch is thats its from china... and they are infamous for their flash memory scandals. what do you guys think?
i would like to get your input before i decide to purchase or not.
thanks

the seller has really good feedback from buyers on other transactions with memory cards...

That's a good price, but I think you can buy them domestically for just a few dollars more, so it's up to you.

Fair enough, but to me the % difference between $65 and $80 is small enough for me to spend the extra $15 on a warrantied product. We're talking about a high precision piece of electronics here, even the items from the retail stores have a fairly high problem/return rate, and it's nice to know it can be returned. $15 isn't a high price for insurance. If we're talking about $5 vs. $20 for a TPU case well then hell yes I'll take the 75% off ($15) and go cheap. But on a SD card I'll spend the 18.75% ($15) and get my insurance policy.

I pulled the trigger on this last night. Will probably take weeks to get here, but stuff from dealextreme.com (for example) have all arrived without issues with customs.
Not sure why the Sandisk site advertises up to 30mb reads, but 20mb reads would be welcome, like class 10. I know writes will hang around 6, but unlike my G1, the card isn't using sdext anymore, so it honestly should be mostly undetectable. (mostly)
I've just obsoleted my 16gb class 10 (nearly) now, but with CWM backups being a full gb each, the space will be welcome...and for more videos of course.

Here is why:
"sinceritytrading : I am sorry that this item is currently out of stock so I increased the price dramatically to avoid any sales. I do it this way instead of canceling the listing because I can save some listing fee. The item will be restocked soon and I will change the price then."
No worries...
I got notif that mine shipped almost the same day, but it will take up to 2 weeks (probably not that long though) to arrive through the delivery chain.

For some reason, Clockwork does fail to mount and format it! It notes E drive. Odd. (I was not expecting that....)
Oh well, thankfully the Sammy formats fine from within the OS after the phone boots.
Officially, 59.46gb, which is 63.837gb as seen in Windows. So where is the 1.163gb even when looking at it like this, hunh Windows?? Well, 59.46gb available beats the hell out of 14.8, when these backups take 1.2gb each!
I am lovin' it.

Well I look at it this way.. It is actually 14GB Internal and 2GB Micro right now (Is what comes stock)
If I purchase the 32GB Card then you can add it up (32+14=46GB)
I personally would have allot of music on mine..
32 gig will work fine. You'll just have a like the biggest capacity seen on a phone for now..
After this post, The XDA app probably forced closed from my froyo lacking Vibrant
I'm using a 32gb Sandisk w/o any issues.
Yea I mean everybody has different use for them some people like watching movies on there phone or having a lot of music. Personally I think ill just get a 16g or 8 but that's just me if you want 32 that would be awesome.! )

Even notwithstanding the price/value question, the fact that it's only a class 2 card pretty much precludes any real consideration of putting it in my EVO 3D. The write speed of the phone demands a faster card than class 2.

New 64 Gig Micro SDXC on a Rezound...

This is regarding the new 64 gig SDXC cards on the Rezound.
Has anyone tried these on the Rez?
I'm reading a lot about these and I'm wondering 2 things:
Is 32 gigs really the limit on the Rezound, or can the 64 be used?
And, have there been any reformatting issues with ANY size SDXC micro cards on the Rezound.
Please, respond if you have actually done it on the Rez. (There's a lot of conflicting info on the interwebz from people whose one-legged cousin in Philly knows a guy whose blind lesbian sister did it & it was fine. )
Yes, someone has formatted one in the Rezound successfully:

Thank you. Crap! Why didn't that thread come up in my search results?
For those who've done it, are they still working well? Are they worth the money compared to the sdhc's?
I'm reading in the reviews on Amazon how an off brand SDXC card was fine for a few days and then choked... from SEVERAL purchasers.
I'm not saying that guys lying or anything, but I'd certainly like more than one confirmation before I spend almost 100 bucks on something.
I have and use one. I can't post pictures yet, although I tried. Not enough posts.
After formatting I get a little under 60gb of workable space. Fits roughly 12 720p movies.

Its actually been proven that the new sd card works on really old Android phones as long as you format it from its stock format. Last I heard they got it to work on the fascinate, and the HTC eris, my old baby.

I love how they have a chokeing hazard on a 64gb memory stick. I remember when cf cards were the smallest and it took a while before they got up to 64gb. Sd cards were the same.

I think it would be bad ass if a manufacturer like HTC or Samsung. Broke the mold and started putting dual Micro SD card slots. Then you could have internal storage a fast class 10 and a nice fat 64gb class 6 for whatever els. I then iphone users would be upset cause the can't get that much storage. And 720p and NFC.

SD card issues

I bought a 64 gig Samsung class 10 when I got my s5 and all was good for a month, but then my pictures started getting corrupted and my songs stopped playing. Same issue with my g3, so today I decided to do the long format using the hp format tool. 2 hours later it finished and now my as card won't even register in my phone. I formatted to fat32.
Just hoping it's not garbage. Any help with a possible fix or way of checking if it's toast?

Actually Samsung makes some of the better cards. I would also recommend Kingston and Corsair for a SDCard because they make the best computer memory.
One company I would avoid is Patriot. Their stuff is slow and buggy with craptacular tech support.

I have auf samsung 64 GByte for my sgs1
Works fine, but only my sgs1 can read/write it.
Every cardreader donot recognize the card.
Any idea?
If the card is cheap, then it is probably a fake.
Instead of 64GB, there are only 8GB
Even if my computer reads it as 64gigs I never had that much on it though because my pictures would start becoming corrupted and any music stored on it wouldn't play back. I'll just have to wait till I get back to work and buy a 32 gig Samsung pro or something similar at best buy.

Hope not. Samsung original and my sgs1 says 64 GByte.
And works fine and quick.
The 32GByte, also samsung, works fine too and all card-readers can read/write on it.
If sgs1 is conneted to pc the 64 GByte card can be used.
I buy new from amazon.com (*not* from a reseller), free 2-day shipping with Prime & a solid return policy. I generally buy Sandisk cards, haven't had any issues yet.
