So I just ordered a Lexar 16 gig Class 10 SDHC off of Ebay. It cost 20.50 with free shipping and handling. It had some pretty okay specs listed. Has anyone every tried this brand of sd card? I figured for the price it can't be that bad

Haven't heard anything really negative about Lexar, so hopefully it's good.
But you have to be careful with those cards off of ebay, you can often get fakes. Make sure you check it right when you get it (use something like what's discussed here: How to spot a fake SDHC card... I believe there are also apps in the market).
Again, hopefully it'll be all good, but if there's any trouble, hopefully you can report it to ebay and get a refund.
Thanks bud! Will do! I heard of fake items like SD cards and batteries on there but the seller seemed pretty authentic. Worse comes to worse I'll return it

Thanks for the link, definetly good info. I'll be checking my card tonight.
Finally came in today at about noon. So far so good. Seems snappy. I'm going to run a speed test and post the results
So it is a legitimate learn card? I got 16gb class 4 thinking it'd be fast enough but it's not. Time to upgrade again
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I am looking into one of the class 10 as well, currently on a 16gb class 4, and i cant tell a speed difference from the Class 8 i had in previously, i think its worth the investment, just makes things like the gallery and titanium run faster

Any of you guys tried this card with Desire?
Would like to know if it's worth it...
I think the "speed class" of it or whatever is on 2. If that makes any difference.
@Mods, if this thread is posted in wrong place, please move it. Thank you!
The maximum storage capacity on the Desire is 32GB so I don't see why not.
Please search before posting next time.
speed class for me makes a difference asi use the camer and video. higher class = higher potential transfer speeds
Opps sorry about that. Totally forgot about searching :S
The memory card that came with the Desire is only class 2 anyway so just gauge it by that.
Yes, I'm using one. No problems at all. And I'll be getting a 32gb one when they become available in a few weeks, at about £100, as opposed to SanDisk charging £150 now.
@92sky
Funny that you mention 32gb, because I looked around and couldn't find any :S All I could find were 16gb
@Alex
Yes I'm aware of that, but is it really that noticeable IRL? or more of the benchmark munching nitpicking diffs?

Expansys, Play.com, MyMemory and Mobile Fun are all listing it at around £99, for late April/early May delivery. I phoned Mobile Fun yesterday who said that it was due now, but has been delayed because of the volcano.
Oh thx mate! Gonna have a look there then.
EVERYTHING is delayed because of the lil' ol' cano it seems.

I am using 16 GB micro sd card, class 6 ... and it is really worth it
@92sky
I won't even ask LOL
Odd, could find 32gb only at expansys, and they didn't have any price point on that...
@gogol
Aren't they expensive like there is no tomorrow?
Using a 16gb class 6 sandisk as well and I have to agree it works like a charm.
I remember reading somewhere that 32gb sdhc cards aren't supported atm, but will be shortly on the desire.
Not sure though, but do a search for it before you plunge into forking out the cash for one of those.
I do remember reading, either here or on another forum, that someone had bought their 32gb direct from SanDisk, and said it worked with no problems.
I've got a SanDisk 16GB Class 2 card, works fine, no issues with speed at all

I believe you can't format them in the phone, according to one report I saw, but otherwise they function as you would expect.
Argh choices choices!
I think for now, I gonna go and get meself a 16gb class 2, should suffice until the better ones comes out...
I have just bought this for my Desire:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/32GB-KINGSTON...AsAccessories_MemoryCards&hash=item230c6c00d1
(scroll down a little cuz the listing is over, but u still can see the description)
It says that it's a brand new 32GB class 6 microSD card by Kingston, but I could not find anything about it on the net. The only 32GB Kingston cards I could find were class 4.. so, can it possibly be a fake? The seller is with 100% positive and is from UK.. What do you guys think? Maybe it's sort of a new product still to be introduced or something?
Chances are is it not a class 6 as Kingston does not list it as a product available from them.
10 Year Warranty ? I 've never heard As far as i know here we only 've 5 years Warranty for SDCards I don't know much about UK One
Well, I'd take it even if it was a class4, I would be disappointed though. I'll of course let you know about how it all went when the card arrives.
More opinions perhaps?

Sounds like a scammer.
Most high classed cards on eBay that are sold cheap usually are scams.
Say like you bought a 16gb card.. It would come as 3gb.

Well, then I just return it, and eBay offers buyers' protection, so I don't think I will lose a lot. Also, that seller really has sold a lot of things, has been on eBay since 2008 and has 99% positive feedback.. Do you really think he could be a scammer?
Also, 30 pounds is not THAT cheap, is it?
Here is feedback on the seller: http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=viraldarshna&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller
As you can see, I'm so hoping this is actually a good deal and not a problem sending things back and so on..

That is extremely cheap.
16gb cards go from 70+ USD (52 euros)
I bought one as well - mine is coming from Japan however =)
Ebay item=220707787049 (I'm not allowed to post outside links yet since this is my first post.
True though that Kingston does not seem to have such a product... we'll see when it gets here =) If you get it sooner, could you post a speedtest?
Yeah, I'll do that. Hope we both get lucky with these cards..
Yeah me too. Mine has just been mailed, in about a week I'll report back =)
well.. I bought a similar item, a Kingston 32gb Class 6 SDHC. It was cheap, so I had to try. Got it today, and tried a few speed tests, and only got about 2 mb/second
made a complaint on ebay, and the seller is now offering me to send him the card back, so I can get a refund... I'm more interested in seeing, if this really is a 32gb card.. so I start to copy... this is going to take a while, so I will be back with more results later
So, is the capacity real?
Ok, so I got the card. The markings look cheap and fake, the packaging - too. But the card is indeed 32GB. And, of course, not class 6. Mor like class 4, though at the very beginning the writing speed was less than 4MB/s. I can't make up my mind if I should keep it. If it's really a class 4 card, it's okay. But I'm afraid that it may corrupt my data or eventually go bad.. So, is it safe to call it a class 4 card? What would you guys do, would you keep it? Rememeber, it's price was under 50 bucks, so maybe it's worth the bet?
I attached the benchmark of it.
Ok so, isnt there some benchmark that tests if the full card is undamaged and writable? If it isnt, you still got a cheap 32 gb card... right?

Don't know if this test tests that. Dunno any other tests u can run on Ubuntu either.
It turned out to be a complete fake with less than 5GB available.. He is not getting his money. And nor is he getting that piece of **** back, for it belongs in a trash can.
I hope those *****es rot alive.
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully I will be a bit luckier. I'll report back when I've received mine...

I bought that exact same card.
When the card arrived it was slow (around 1-2Mo/s instead of 6+) but after only 3 days of regular use it stopped working.
It wasn't recognised anymore by any reader (tested in PC, Wii, camera and Android phone) and I couldn't even format it.
So I had a close look at it and noticed the product number was SDC4/32GB which is in fact the product number of Kingston's class 4 32GB micro SD. (since they never produced any class 6 32GB micro SD, only class 4 and 10). Also the inscription was a bit different from what I could see on goole image for Kingston microSD.
Finally I sent it back to the seller who gave me back my money.
Here's a pic of the card: http : // hpics.li/09be9f2
Edit: As far as my opinion goes: this card was a fake, although it's just me and I can't really prove it.
Your picture is a proof.
So I just received mine as well, package looks real but no idea if it is... Will test it tonight, no computer nearby...

Awesome if you have Amazon Prime!
The one with the adapter is like $1 more.
Actually the one in OP is class 4 whereas the one on amazon is class 1? I believe.. its not marked so I'm assuming that's what it is.
In that, the OP is a far better deal.

Patriot Memory seems to be hit or miss, but most class 10's seem to be like that.
Check newegg for the reviews.
Amazon has it for 31.
Or with adapter for 33.

It's because you are a newbie (like me). After 8-10 posts you may post links.
Just thought I would let everyone know that the hit or miss 32GB Patriot class 10 is back on sale with a MIR of 20 dollars making the total to 25+taxes. From the SOUND of it, they might have shaped back up and reduced failure rates on these cards.
It's on newegg, would post a link, but obviously can't.

I just bought and received a Samsung 32gb Class 10 SDHC card that tested at the correct speeds for $51.00 on amazon.
You can get burned really easily buying dirt cheap SD cards off of Ebay and Amazon. As the old saying goes, "If it sounds too good to be true; it normally is." There are tons of counterfeit and fake cards on those sites.
I hate to say it but the same Samsung card is selling for 35+tax+ship on frys right now til thursday.

Generally, Samsung cards are of very high quality. Not sure if you've ever used one but they are very reliable and are made to work. The class you pay for is the class you get.
There are other reputable card manufacturers of course, but with the widespread availability of them now, there is a much higher risk of a fake or being duped with a low class one.
As far as I know, rip off samsungs are rare if even in existence. I could be wrong.
As someone said Samsung makes good quality card, and this one is Class 10 so its speedier. I don't understand the shock/water resistent bit. Isn't flash memory shock resistent by nature?
Quality

I own this card and it is specifically rated for 1080p vid plaback and top transfer rates. You have to look beyond that someone stammped "Class 10" on thier card. If you don't believe me, buy a Wintech card and tell me how its treating you when your data is just gone one day and the card cannot be reformatted.
I payed $50 for this card and it is worth every penny.

Got my card in the mail today. What kind of speed test results do you get (using SD Tools)? I'm showing 5.1MB/s write and 8MB/s read. I also don't see any "card info" when in SD Tools. Was hoping I could see manufacturing information and a serial to prove this isn't a fake Samsung...
Real-world writing yields about 10MB/s write.
I always thought Micro SD cards were faster... then I remembered that just full-sized SD and CF are even remotely fast!

Be careful with this item!! Just read the reviews and it's apparently a fraud!
Fantastic find, I'd buy it if I didn't already have a 16 GB SD card...
Got my card today I am really happy that I bought this. It came unopened with it's original samsung packaging. Comparing with the one I bought from amazon... check the pics below.
Mistaken entry.
Ordered mine about 4/5 days ago and received it today. Although I had a 16GB (not from Samsung) and didn't use all of it up, I still went ahead and got this. Can't go wrong with it, glad I got it.
I got 10.22MB/s writing and 32.16 MB/s reading using the SD Card Tester app.
Transferring music over seems to be a lot slower than it was using my 2gb card though. Is there a preferred way of introducing a new sd card to the android operating system?
OK I'm in the hunt for a 32GB class 10 SD card. I have been reading a lot about one called Komputerbay. Seems as though it may be made by Samsung or for Samsung. All the reviews that I have found seem to be pretty consistent, however, these reviews are like any other review, you just read them. No response from people in real time. I want to direct my question to those that I can trust and have direct contact with in real time. Does anyone have any info on this product? Or have any suggestions, or recommendations? 16 or 32GB not really a concern. Main concern is speed class 6 or 10, who has the true tested speed? TIA for all who help.
EDIT
I have also found one called 3C Pro, any info here too? thanx
Komputerbay is nothing to do with Samsung.
It's a SD card adapter see here
You can see the speed test here for the class 10
Not a very smart idea to use a class 10 on the OG evo. Its meant to only be compatible with cards up to class 4.

either way, be careful. Make sure whoever you buy from has, literally, thousands of sales and at least 98% positive feedback.
