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 bought a PNY 32GB class 10 for 60 bucks in New Egg. Its showing out of stock now tho. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820178381
I've bought PNY memory (flash drives, SCHC cards, etc) before and they've been good to me so far.

You're going to have to figure out how to chop that down to fit it into your phone. It's a regular SD card.

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.

Patriot is a well known brand.
I'm running a Patriot 32GB Class 10 that I got at Fry's for 73 after price match. Got three of those working fast and flawless. Had other Patriot in the past. Never a problem and ran faster than what they were rated at.

Wish I could post an image from my work computer... I can't post from my Evo since you can't open a window inside a window inside a browser... I just ran SD tools on my Evo with the Patriot 32GB C10 card. Slowest of three runs was 16.5MB/s Write and 19.6MB/s read.

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.
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

There is at least comment on the ebay feedback stating that they are fake, and only 30 GB. I'm not too sure if I'd risk it.

$42.99 today only as well. I'm inpatient so I swung by Best Buy and they priced matched it since they are sold by Amazon, not a third party seller. New 64GB card works great in my Digital SLR camera.

I bought 2 SanDisk 64GB Micro SDXC Ultra cards from Amazon around the first of December for only $40 each with free shipping!! Awesome speeds and just an awesome all around card! Definitely a big upgrade from my 2 SanDisk 32GB Micro SDHC Class 4 cards that I was using!!
So to anyone who's looking to pick up a SanDisk 64GB Micro SDXC Ultra card, just keep checking Amazon and Best Buy websites because this card is bound to be on sale again!! Just be VERY CAREFUL if shopping on eBay for them!!! There are more fakes on eBay than there are legit cards!! Personally, I will never buy ANY kind of storage card from eBay, no matter who the seller is. I shop on eBay quite often too, just not for storage cards.....

Has anyone found any Black Friday deals on 128GB microSD cards?
Haven't seen anything on 128gb cards, but I bought 64gb cards on Amazon for $19.99 each.
Picked up a 64GB PNY from Amazon to replace the second 64GB Sandisk card to develop "write-lock" / unformatable syndrom on me. So far definitely so good as the read / write speeds on this card are fantastic. I forget the speed stated in the description, but it was the reason that I chose that one over a Samsung EVO for pretty much the same price. Glad I did (so far)
I can't wait until 128GB cards fall into line with the prices of lower capacity cards (1 X 128GB < 2 X 64GB). Soon hopefully... haven't seen one cheaper than $100.
Drives that you can find great deals on however are the regular USB (2 or 3) connecter on one side and a micro USB connecter on the other. I've had a 32GB and a 64GB (the latter USB 3) for a while, but I just grabbed a 128GB for $40 :good: I freaking love these drives. There's not really a difference in price between there and regular USB 3 flash drives... why not get one that you can easily use in your phone as well as your PC sans any adapters, and as far as phone use goes: one of the fastest ways to transfer large files from PC to phone, perfect for media - particularly hi res video if you want to watch a movie or something on your phone, and the killer feature: can be mounted in TWRP! No more realizing I forgot to DL or whatever a file I want to flash mid-nandroid, long reboot rebuilding caches, reboot recovery again... just toss it on the drive and flash from or even nandroid to the drive! Crazy useful
I did pick up a samsung 32GB for 10.99 yesterday at bestbuy
I went with the Tiger Direct 64gb. I only trust Samsung cards as I've had headaches with other brands in the past.
Now until Tues Amazon has the 64GB EVO for $25.
Where did you find the 128gb?

Thanks! It's definitely fake according to the reviews.
Yeah I always fall victim for the $20 "most of these cards work but not all of them". they're always a scam. If in doubt, read the feedback
Don't go down this dark alleyway!
You have a very expensive smart phone...
Put a brand name card you can trust!
You will thank me later! (Or now would be good)

I ended up with one of these from ebay a year ago or so, you can spot it easily by the packaging (as if the price wasn't already a red flag) Sadly you probably won't realize it until after you've begun copying files to it! To be safe, I always format (FULL format, NOT quick-format!) my sd cards before use!
Stick to brands you've heard of (as @sloanster stated), and as others on the thread have, pay attention to the reviews :good:
With Christmas only a couple days away, I'm sure plenty of people will be hunting for microSD cards very soon (as am I) so if anyone comes across any sweet deals please share!
32
Actually total 32gb is enough for everything
I ended up buying two of this and so far no issues.. both has been formatted and read at 128gb each.. i did some testing and the result is pretty good comoare to my 64gb ultra sandisk..
I see that on Wikipedia the fastest card is XC II / U3. Perhaps XC I with either Class U1 or U3 is fast enough. What are people using?
Also, anyone going larger then 64gb? Links to products would be great.
One other side question: I saw a cheap adapter on Amazon - it was male microusb 3.0 to female microusb 3.0 for using the older cables. Anyone tried on of these?
side note: I chatted with Samsung yesterday - still not date for Lollipop roll-out on AT&T
