Never knew memorette made MicroSD cards as well!
Anyone have one of these, try them, good/bad experience with their microsd cards?
Memorette 32gb Micro SD SDHC CLASS 10
I just bought 2 of them on eBay. Hope they are good, let you know in a month or so when I get them from China(worth the risk at £12 each and paid via paypal so pretty safe)

Interesting discussion here.

Becareful buying micro sd cards on Ebay. I got scammed a few months ago. Bought a 32gb micro sd class 10 card for what I thought was a very good price. When I hooked it up to my computer with an usb adaptor it was recognized and showed 32gb in size. When I tried to move a large file (10Gig) it said "no disk space". It turned out to be an 8gb micro sd card labeled as a 32gb card. They installed a program in the micro sd card to show 32gb when you open it up in your computer. I got my money back through my credit card company and I emailed other buyers who bought them from this seller. Funny thing is everyone else thought it was fine and left good feedback for that seller until they tried adding more than 8gb into the card. I would stick with buying stuff like micro sd cards, usb flash drives, etc on Amazon, Newegg, or Frys. Its not worth trying to save $10-$20 or more on a $80 microsd card from Amazon.
Oh yeah I just read the feedback on one seller of the Memorette 32gb Micro SD SDHC CLASS 10 and I read a few "DOA", "not as advertised but refunded", "my computer can't read it". The rest who are happy probably didn't even try putting 30gb of data on the card yet. Again buyer beware.

i have tried the same thing, and the problem is not many is testing the cards.. i bught 3 class 6 before i got the real class 6 card, got my money back the other to times thow, but when buying from ebay always test the card as the first, there are many cheaters out there.
and yaa again the funny thing was that many said this was good, so i pick out 2 or 3 guys and ask them to try it, and guess what, they were cheated as well they just didnt knew it..
Do we know what maximum speeds the TF is capable of? I just read that thread posted so it got me wondering if its worth buying a class 10 card or not. I tried looking online but didn't really see anything about it. Is it safe to assume then that a class 10 will perform to its maximum when used in the TF?
Make sure you test the capacity of your micro sd card. Too many scams on memory cards from China. They will use a smaller capacity memory card and install a program in it to make it look bigger than it is. They use 8gb cards to make it look like it is 32gb. When you get your memory cards test it by adding large files to capacity.
Read the feedback left by a buyer. Many leave feedback before testing out their fake 32gb microsd cards LOL.
By my test it's a class 5, but the buyer is really good and fast!!! NICE EBAYER Member id davidegatto ( Feedback Score Of 62) Apr-22-11 02:50

Attention, the subject received after several test is a fake! Wait to shop until
For stuff like that, it's better to buy from a reputable vendor.
I got a 16GB class 6 card off of Amazon a little while ago to use in my Nook Color. I'll be using it in the TF. 16GB will be plenty of storage for me. Maybe when 32GB cards are a bit cheaper...
Sucks that tablets didn't go with full size SD card slots. I'd have much preferred that. 32GB SDHC cards aren't that expensive.

I hear you! a SDHC slot doesn't take up THAT much room. It's a shame they only included it in the keyboard dock I don't always want to carry around my dock with me
Also as a photographer, it's kind of a shame to not be able to plug in my camera's SDHC card directly into the tablet to view the pictures
Seen a fair bit about fake cards. Just as well I have paid through paypal using my credit card just in case.

MicroSD's aren't fast enough Slow SD cards really limit how many shots you can take in a row. I tend to do a lot of burst RAW shots and if the SD card isn't fast enough, the buffer will fill up too quickly
what class of SD are you using? People are purchasing class 10 microSDs to use with the transformers at reasonable prices.. still not fast enough?

30MB/s corresponds with a "Class 30" The class rating is just the guaranteed minimum speed in MB/s
No no no no never use memorette. I did, got a 32g card for 50 bucks. Put it in my mac to transfer 25g of stuff. Stopped unexpectedly after 20, after that it won't be recognized by either my imac or my phone, won't even allow me to format using terminal in the mac. Beware! U can get sandisk class 4 for 75 on amazon, it works pretty fast. I used it.

I bought a new kingston 16 gb micro sd.
Now the card says it is not bigger than 961 MB.
I have format the card twice fat and fat32 but it is still 961 MB..
What do I wrong, or is the card wrecked?
Thnx
If that happened to me, I'd take it back where I got it for a replacement.

If you got it on ebay there is a 95% chance you bought a fake 16GB micro SD card. I stay away from memory cards offered on ebay. Its a very good chance that it actually is a 1GB card made to report that it has 16GB when it doesn't. If you did get it on ebay hopefully ebay or paypal will be able to help you get your money back.

Yeah, I just read about that today too, and remembered this thread...I'm guessing the problem is more widespread than just Kingston, and is the source of many of the SD card issues people are having...just like the one above (including the "ghost-source" cards found on e-bay).
Here's an article with a slightly shorter explaination of the same report in that link chompx2 posted above.
So can anyone suggest a good class 6 card? I don't want to get one that turns out to be a fraud. And as bad as that would be, it would be even worse if I got one that worked as advertised and then a couple months later dies and loses all of my data.
Any suggestions for a card that wil be reliable for the long term?
Try the A-DATA 16GB Micro SDHC Class 6. I just got mine from Newegg.com.
I swapped out my Sandisk 8GB Class 2. I noticed a big difference on speed. I got mine for $54.86 including tax. Shipping was free. Mine does not come with a SD adapter but I already have a couple of them. Newegg does have Micro SD cards with the adapters. Just search around. Hope this helps.

Was it from ebay? SD cards are one of the items that I've started just paying the small premium to get from a known-good vendor (i.e. newegg, etc), just because of how commonly they're counterfeited and find their way into "unofficial" sales channels like e-bay and so forth
In December 2009 I purchased 2x 16GB microSD cards from eBay China for my new HD2. They took 2 1/2 months to arrive and when I got them they both only showed as 1GB and the writing on the cards were flaking. I was so upset. I could have gotten an 8GB microSD locally for less than the price of one of those fake 16GB microSD cards. At the time I had the original HD2 2GB in my phone, so even the 2 fake cards were useless.
I tried the Paypal resolution process, and it did not work. I never got back the US$80 I spent. The seller has disappeared.
In 2008 I bought 16GB microSD cards from eBay UK when they first came out at US$110 each and those were real (one was lost in a car, the other sold several months ago), so this time I was looking for a deal. I lost big time on those fake cards.
I bit the bullet and bought a single 16GB microSD Class 6 (also from eBay but from Topram US) to hold out until the 32GB microSDs came out (and now until they get faster and the price gets cheaper).
Stick to 'reputable' sellers on eBay, do not make a purchase based only on the best price, or take the risk of not getting what you paid for.
Here is a good seller with a good deal
I bought a 16gb class6 card from this US seller a year ago. It has been a great card and I have had no problems whatsoever.
Here is a link to a Kodak (Lexar) 16gb Class 4 card for BIN $40.24 with free shipping.

I very recently bought a 32GB microSD on ebay from a HK seller grandtechdigital.
The card was a fake. It does have a capacity somewhere around 8-16GB, though. I only ended up paying $31 US for the card, and the seller gave me a refund since it was not 32GB.
The trick with Ebay is to make sure you file your dispute in time if you are getting jerked around. If you wait too long, then you have no recourse. I could be wrong, but I think you only have 60 days.
Good Luck!
Does anyone know how to fix the bad card I have? I know that it needs to be reprogrammed to show the actual capacity. Right now, it looses files when I try to copy too much data to it.
Found another even better deal!!
Check out this one!! 16GB Topram Class 6!!

I purchased a Kingston 32 gb class 6 micro sd card for my phone. I began to copy over the contents of my current card, but im at work and had to step out. I told a coworker that if they also had to leave to please just close the screen of my netbook so that its contents would be secure, hoping that it would have finished copying. It was not finished and the screen was closed putting the netbook into standby. When I returned and turned the comp back on the copy progress screen was blank and just all white as was the window depicting the contents of the card. I had to restart the computer as after 15 min nothing had changed. Now the card is not recognized. I checked it in my phone and computer and it says no disk is present. I put it in the sd adapter and try to format and my computer says there is no disk. I am at a loss?? I just got this freakin card and for a great deal that ill never find again especially for a class 6! Does any one have any ideas for me to try?? I know that its not entirely related to X10's but I can't seem to find any other avenues for help. I would like to not right this card off
Any help is sincerely appreciated
Did ya get it off ebay by any chance? Didn't think class 6 32 gb cards existed yet. I've had 2 off ebay (class not stated) and they both turned out to b hacked 2 gb 1s, they were both "good deals" a bit too good! Got a refund for em both so got 2 2gb cards for free
If it was from ebay at a great deal price... you're screwed... bought one myself only to find out it was a dupe... never got my money back

Transcend , Sandisk makes one, Nokia has one, not sure who makes it. I have had this problem before.. you have to low level format it and it will be fine. any questions just ask.
I am thinking of getting a 32 gb class 6 from ebay as well. Hope I have better luck
I bought one from ebay a couple weeks ago for like 13 dollars and it arrived today. Just popped it in the phone and its saying 31.24 gb.
It's a kingston card. I'll try copying some stuff over and see how it goes.
EDIT. Copying my 11 gb of music over writing at 3.5 MB/s
Class was not stated when I bought mine. I just figured for 13 bucks i'll take the chance.

THERE ARE NO TRUE CLASS 6 32G micro SDHC cards.
And as a caution, here's a FAKE card marked Class 6 (and confirmed as fake by Kingston USA). I was lucky and got my money back when the seller was confronted (and is still selling these on eBay). The photo below is a FAKE card. Kingston's 32G is a class 4. Lexar's 32G is a class 10. The Lexar IS faster writing at 8-10mb while the Kingston writes at about 4mb; I have both Kingston and Lexar 32G.
NewEgg is a licensed reseller, you can get a nice 32GB card under $100 with a USB flash reader for it such as Kingston's MRG2+SDC4/32GB. I keep the usb reader on my keychain. You need a reader because these cards are NOT compatible with most older slot readers even when you put them in an adaptor for SD or M-Stick.
NEVER FORMAT IN WINDOWS!!!!! You may ruin the card's usefulness forever.
Windows will add cryptographic junk which is NOT compatible with Android. If you MUST format in windows go to the SD Consortium and get their format software http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/

Well i got a 32GB Kingston Micro SDHC card from Singapore for about 120 Sing $ (4200 Indian Rupees). In India same card was not available and even the places i inquired they were asking around 10,000 Indian rupees..
I have 2 kingston 32gb micro SD card i purchased in advance for my EVO 3D and my Xoom. I put it in my 3D and it detected and mounted the card. i then plugged the 3D into my computer as a drive and copied over photos, music, and a couple of movies. I unplug the phone from the computer, and EVERYTHING disappeared. I formatted the card, did it again, and ran scan disk and defrag before i unmounted from my computer. same effect. Anyone else experiencing this?
No problems with my PNY 32 gb. I have never formatted the card either, but maybe try formatting the card from within the phone's menu, or you got bum cards.

Yes, this Kingston class 10 was going to replace my Sandisk 32 class 2 (which did class 6 speed). Now, I just might return it.
Lots of disparity between claimed and actual performance with these cards in either direction. My guess is it isn't worth the cost to test on the production line, they just write off the occasional RMA.

So yeah, this is a fake. What happens is the fake SD Card maker runs dd on a very small SD Card so that it gets up to the size. If you configure dd you can make it loop over the drive so you can set the drive's size pretty easily. You end up with a card that will basically only hold a small amount of data but looks like it can handle much more.

That's the one I ordered, which should come today. Not really going to help this guy out since the card is out of stock.
It was back in stock on Monday, on Tuesday I looked and it was sold out.
On a lot of these 32GB Class 10 microsdhc cards - I read a lot of mixed reviews citing general Android incompatibility? I've read a lot of comments calling it an "industry wide" compatibility issue with Android. Has anyone had problems with a class 10 card - knowing that it came from a reputable source?
That's honestly the one thing that's kept me from pulling the trigger on a 32GB class 10 card. I wanted to hear that people were successfully using these types of cards in an EVO 3D with speed critical applications like recording and viewing HD video.
Good to know that certain cards are having issues.
No problems with the SanDisk 32gb card I bought from amazon 3 months ago other than the price dropped $30 immediately after I bought it.

According to the specs on GSMArena it says that it does, but that also depends on the brand you get. There are a lot of sellers who has it but some of them are fake 32GB cards where you put it in and it is actually a 16GB or the class is actually lower than advertised, for example a class 10 really is a class 2 or 4. Just make sure to buy it from a reputable place, like Newegg or something.
It will work. I'm using a Sandisk Micro SDHC 32gb Class 4.
Newegg was selling 32GB Micro SDHC's for $35 not too long ago, not sure if the deal is still there.
Like someone said, there are LOTS of fake one's out there. Make sure you get it from reputable reseller, Newegg, Amazon, etc.
Yes, the 32gb will work.
I just placed an order for a 32gb class 10 from amazon that comes with card reader for $61.... with prime shipping it should be here friday morning.
The fact that the SHDC slot is not hot swappable is pretty annoying, so I am going to leave this 32gb card in my phone and hopefully I can use the USB host cable I ordered with a usb-micro sd reader for extra space on the go.
Ordered a 32 gig class 4 earlier off third party Amazon seller for 44 bucks shipped. Will test it when I get it and report back

32GB SanDisk Class4 @ 1saleaday for $29.99 (about 2 week ago) = No problems.
Sandisk class2 at Amazon for 37.99.
Class 2 won't be too great for recording video... HD especially.
I've had my eye on the 32GB class 10 ADATA cards for a while, and since I just got a SGS2 maybe it's finally time to get one.
(Man. First few posts... can't provide links to the card I referenced... can't post in the development forums... I feel so restricted. :| )
everyone getting these ~$40 class 2/4 cards.... why not splurge for another $20 and have more than double the transfer rate?
Turns out the Galaxy S2 series even supports Micro SDXC (aka, 64 GB and up) cards too...
It's just that the stock kernel doesn't support exFat, so you have to re-format the card with FAT32 (at least until kernel devs can get exFat support worked in).
64GB has been confirmed to work, and with 128 GB around the corner, the possibilities for storage are pretty endless... Assuming you have the cash that is.
Coming from wp7 we learned that sandisk class 2 and 4 cards out benchmarked other cards of higher class. Not all cards but a few of them. The wp7 os was so sensitive to SD cards.

I'm curious about the Class 4 vs Class 10 war update.
When I had my Infuse, it was really determined that the Infuse 4G hardware really didn't take advantage of Class 10, so weather you buy 2 or 10 the speeds seen were the same on that device. Wondering if anyone has any experience with this handset, and can tell me with certainty if there's a difference on THIS device. I'm happy to upgrade, but want to know things like "Scanning Media" will significantly go faster to make the upgrade worth it.
Thoughts\Opinions\Dirty looks appreciated.
I would guess you wont see real world differences with class 2 vs class 6/10..other than video recording/playback. but when transferring files there is no way a class 2 can compete with higher rated cards.
and I wish I knew about the SDXC cards working... might have to order one and send the 32 back.

When you say file transfer, my understanding is the transport hardware samsung is using slows down the transfer. Do you know this to be true\untrue? I just don't want to buy class 10 and not feel a wooosh of faster speed. Think I'm better off staying put w\ 4?
I can't definitively say that the phone slows transfers since I haven't seen a reliable source report that.... I have yet to try the class 10 card myself since it hasn't arrived. I only know what has happened with the cards I do have.
From what I read in regards to card class and phone use, the majority consensus seems to be that in order to get "true 720" video you need to have a card rated higher than class 2.. considering this phone does 1080 recording I didn't want to be cheap.. for an extra $20 I got a card from a reliable manufacturer and source that was the highest class and capacity available, it wasn't a hard choice for me.
I transfered a couple 3.5gb .mkvs over to the class 4 card I currently have in the phone and it kept timing out or the transfer times would jump up to 30+ minutes and then fail nearly every time. This card works flawlessly in other applications so it might very well be the phone slowing down these transfers. I tried with a variety of other class 2 and 4 cards with similar results. Plugging any of the tested cards into the card reader in my pc transfers the files without a hitch.

Good observations. I'm kinda in the same boat as you. That was my experience. I ran the SD Card test on the Class 10 I had and the Infuse said it was just SLIGHTLY faster than the Class 4, so i kept the 4. At the time it was about $30 vs $65, so wasn't worth it for mediocre performance. Now I'm starting to think maybe it's worth it. I just don't like that when the card gets full of photos and songs, it takes forever to Scan Files every reboot or USB plug in\out
Lifehacker did a write-up awhile back.

I've also read that it is a TERRIBLE idea to use the phone as USB storage as the speeds are horrendous. I can vouch for this as my Transcend 32GB performs faster in the usb adapter than through the phone. Why? I have no idea

well I just bit the bullet and bought a 32gb class 10 (i have class 4 now) from amazon. They're great with returns so if it doesn't give me a boost, back it'll go
There's a memory card sale going on right now at Amazon, including microSD cards (no 64GB ones that I saw, but there are 32GB ones), if anyone is interested.

I got a 64gb class 6 microsd on eBay for $32 shipped.
Was It A Real Sandisk 64 GB?
I have seen lots of complaints from people saying they purchased 64 GB micro sd cards off ebay and they broke really quick or they showed up as 32 gb cards. How does yours seem to be working with your phone? Any problems with it at all?

It seems that my LGOG came with a 16 external card.
So I need to remove this 16GB card if I want to put something larger on it?
