Which, if any, microsd cards have you all bought for your captivate and where?
Anyone waiting for a higher speed and more affordable 32gb? If so, what are you using until then?
Yeah I'm hoping that by the time I use up the internal 16GB, 32GB start hovering around $40.
im using the 8 gb class 6 transcend card that i used with my blackberry bold 9700. i think it was around $15 on amazon.
Using an 8gb class 6 card from Transcend also, but I am only going to upgrade to 16gb, waiting for my Ridata class 6 card to show up from Newegg.

If I am not mistaken, that is a standard SDHC, and not the micro SDHC that our phones require.
I got this one and works fine:

^That's what I have,
formats to about 14gb of space and is pretty snappy
There are a couple of off-brand class 6 cards that have shown up on ebay and Amazon called TopRam and 3C Pro. Anyone have experience with these?
I am familiar with the usual suspects (i.e. Sandisk, Kingston, Patriot, A-Data, etc). but was wondering if there have been any positive reviews with the ones above since then do tend to run substantially cheaper.
*Edit* Doh, not microsd!!

I'm going to get this and see how well it works. AData is a good company (bought some ddr2 for my media computer). The one from the Amazon link (SanDisk) is only a class 2 while the adata is a class 6 and a good price

The card you linked is SDHC, not microSDHC, won't fit. Wish you could get microSDHC class 6 for that price.

If you're lucky to have Micro Center stores in your area, their house brand 16GB microSD card is not bad at all. For $34, you get a card marked as class 2. But I've tested mine on my PC and its write speed is around 7 MB/s and read speed is around 14 MB/s, practically a class 6 card! No wonder this card always seems to be out of stock quick.
dang before when i checked it it was a micro sdhc weird

Class 2 = 2MB/s. The review I saw show the Sandisk can be as fast as 4 to 5 MB/s.

i know what class means. There have seen a few reviews stating 6+ writing. Sandisk is about as as good a quality chip that you can get so paying less and getting quality is a win win.

I tried my luck with a TopRam 16 GB class 4, and I have transferred a little over 8 gb of files onto it and use it daily with no complaints.
I purchased mine on Buy.com because it was a little cheaper there a few months ago when I ordered it.
Almost bit on the 8gb patriot c10 a few days ago, but those had bad reviews, was hoping something would pop up on easter.

Cool. I just got 2 16GB UHS cards from Adata and as far as transfer goes I'm sure these are better.
Just upgraded to 32GB microSD.....
I learned a long time ago not all class10 sd cards are truly class10 read/write speeds. These cheaper cards tend to be slower
Anyone have a good line on a 32gb card?

I keep googling deals on microsd cards. This one came up today. Saw a TEAM card on sale for the same price a week ago but let it slip. Might jump on this one.
Of course Samsung and Sandisk are probably more trustworthy manufacturers.
just picked one up from the ebay site..
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313253 is a little better deal. It's a class 6 but if you do the free 4 day shipping and 30% off w/ promo code EMCNDHH73, you only pay $15.39 out the door so to speak for a 32gb class 6 card.

That card is 39.99 right now, I have a Frys on the way home from work so this would be great if they had it for that price. Honestly, none of these cards should be more than a dollar a gig imo.

For the class 6 Sandisk, is that the read or the write speed?
Got a 32 GB Class 10 on NewEgg for $21.99 with free S/H. I think it was a Team or a G Skill.

FYI: a good way to find out if your card's a fake: SD Card Tester, a free app from the PlayStore.........it gives your read/write speeds, card volume + limited diagnostics.
Yea, agreed......lotta fakes out there!
My SanDisk 64GB class10 microSDXC from eBay isn't a fake (but I knew that already).
Using the SD Card Tester app, it benches the same in writes (~10MB/s) as Antutu, but slower in reads (~18MB/s vs ~30MB/s in antutu).

frys has 32gb class 10 for $22. Probably good till friday.
none of the Class 10 Sandisk cards write as fast as the Samsung, its really discouraging that Sandisk would hide the fact that the write speed is 1/3 of its read speed. Look at http://www.bhphotovideo.com they have read and write speeds listed per card and being this info is very important to photographers and videographers its pretty legit.

the class 10 sandisk 64gb card I have writes at least 11 Mbps. which is pretty 'close' to the listed speed of the samsung 32gb class 10 but double the memory.
I'm looking for a good quality or at least good performing 16sd card. I'm trying to find a good value, and I've found some class 10's on ebay for like $13, but I know there are variables such as what format they are, but I'm not too hip on what's best? I have a class 4 SanDisk 8gb, and it's time for something faster with more space for all of my backups. If someone maybe has an ebay or amazon link to something they've bought & have been pleased with that would be great! Thanks in advance.

You can grab a 32 gb from Wal-Mart for a little under $30. Why not go that route? I have 2 of them but use a 64 gb atm.

What class are they? Also, is there a certain format I should be sure they are? I have 4 8gb cards I've been moving from phone to phone forever?

Class 6 and reliable when I got mine.
I just ordered a UHS-1 30mb/s read speed, sandisk 32Gb micro sd card for 28 euro, for performance i would go with a class 10 or UHS-1 which operates as class 10s maximum speeds
Ideal for HD recording etc.
On a side note, any memory cards purchased off ebay should be tested for their true capacity, use a german software called H2testw, its gold standard for testing memory read/write speeds. And total capacity
One can not determine if the seller is 100% genuine or not unless its a credible company
It is possible to have a memory card stating its 32GB size for example, but in reality this card could really be only 8GB in size, a tiny program could be installed on a hidden partition and as you save more files to your card, once the 8GB limit has reached it overwrites your oldest files with the newly saved files to keep space, operating systems are fooled into thinking the particular card has a full capacity of 32GB which is not actually true

Grabbed my PNY 32 gig at best buy its a class 10 and has pretty good benches online for $40 right now. It isn't as good as a deal as ebay or amazon but with all the insane amount of counterfeit cards I really felt the still over priced on sale micro sd was a better option.

The worlds fastest micro sdhc is the sandisk extreme pro at 95mb/s, the largest size is 16GB at present, but the speed is useless in a phone, as no phone supports UHS 1 specification.
if it's to be used in a phone then the samsung 16GB class 10 is the fastest at write 21mb/s and read 24mb/s, largest size is 16GB.

Thanks Man! I never heard of sdhc before? Until Android supports it then it won't do much good for me, because I only use sd cards these days for transferring files from between phones, media storage, etc. I generally use usb drives for all my other portable storage needs, but I'll definitely be keeping my eye on sdhc for any advancements in compatibility.
My new sandisk class 10, is well over twice as fast as those old class 4 cards I was constantly shuffling around! This is great for transferring large rom files & movies to external memory.
Better go for SanDisk sdhc class6:thumbup::thumbup:

I meant sdhc sandisk extreme pro, and in the midst of screaming children I didn't finish what I was typing. Though I did not know that 64gb or larger is called sdxc? Is that why it seems they have to be formated differently out of the box or ppl tend to have issues when using them with Android?
