This is a pretty darn good price for a 32GB micro sdhc! Also being Sandisk brand, they usually go for more. It doesn't specify what class it is, but its probably class 4? Anyways, its only $56 and eligible for Prime shipping! The msrp is $138 on the official website. Sweet!
Here's the official link on Sandisk's page...http://www.sandisk.com/products/mobile-memory-products/sandisk-microsdhc
EDIT: I guess this card is a Class 2, according to one of the reviewers at Amazon. They also said it performed very well though.

I use one of those for my evo, it works fine. Then again the evo came with a class 2 card so theres no reason why it wouldn't, its just initially putting stuff on there takes more time, read speeds are totally adequate for a phone.
I think the quality of the sandisk cards are great, I have a three year old 8gb in my tablet right now and it works flawlessly. That is a great price,but it seems kind of slow given current options out there. I'm probably going to buy a 16gb class 10. This patriot one seems like a good deal.
That patriot card is great. I actually have it in my tf right now. I've done speed tests on it that came out pretty high. There is an app you can use called 'sd tools' in the market. Good card for the price!

I bought the Sandisk 32GB Class 4 version from Amazon for the price. It works great and when I watch 1080p movies there is no stuttering
Transcend make good cards too, for cheaper. I've been using a 16GB Class 10 SD with my camera for 5 months and haven't had a problem.
Although I haven't put it in a Transformer yet, I have the SanDisk 32GB microSD and through my SD card reader on a mac it tests at 5.1mb/s write, 13.9mb/s read.
Sandisk speeds
If the card is really slow, and it was cheap, it could be a fake, but don't jump to conclusions quite yet. I once bought a 16gb Class 10 SDHC card, and when I couldn't achieve the 30mb/s read (or anywhere near it) I contacted Sandisk.
I then spent the next week or so sending them pictures, serial numbers and other details such as where I bought it from and it took them a surprising amount of time to confirm whether it was genuine.
Once confirmed it was genuine, although I had a new sandisk multi-card reader, I had to get a specific sandisk sdhc only reader to achieve the fabled 30mb/s. Sandisk allowed me to send my current one to them and they sent me out one that would work to it's maximum capacity.
All this, just to say you can't trust the speed tests you get from windows or osx, as even when you have genuine cards and genuine readers, sometimes there's more to it than that. When I contacted Sandisk I mentioned that they should make it more clear, as nowhere do they say that you need specialist readers to get the best speeds!

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.

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.

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.
I am looking for a micro SD card for my Asus either 16 or 32gb. Any suggestions? Class, brand where to purchase at decent price? I appreciate any info and thanks.

I have the Adata 16GB Class 10 from newegg. Works really well.
i got a 16gb sandisk from amazon...pretty cheap.... im sure its a generic one but never had a problem with generics
I've used the 16gb class 10 Wintec Filemate. I tested it with hw2test (forgot the exact name), and it turned up 12 mb/s writing and nearly 20 mb/s reading. So it's definitely a class 10 and performs higher than its class actually. It's worked well for the past year, and is generally around 25-30 bucks on Amazon.
Try checking out Amazon's prices, they're usually pretty good. You can get a 16GB card for as low as $16 and a 32gb starting around $40. I usually stick with Sandisk; haven't had a problem yet. They're usually a bit more, but the reviews tend to be high. I went with a 32gb-- class 4 to keep the price down-- but I think I'm gonna go with an Ultra model (15 mb/s) when I get a 32GB SD card for the dock. I have one in 2GB and side by side, it's like tortoises (not the fast ones on youtube) and hares. And with recent price drops, it'll be cheaper!
I appreciate the replies. Is there a major difference between a class 10 and a class 4?

You might want to check you are actually getting the full 32gb capacity on that card. There are a lot of fakes on Ebay that show up in Windows etc as the size stated but if you actually try to copy that amount to the card it fails.
Ive had great luck with both my aData and Sandisk 32gig cards. One is a class 2 and one is a class 4.
One thing to note with classing of cards is pretty much any card will be fast enough to operate with the TF. Playing videos and holding data for programs. The Class only refers to write speed, so its how fast you can put data on the card. This will primarily come into play when copying large files to the card. If you arent worried about that as much then you could save some money passing on higher classed cards.

All SD cards above 4 GB are SDHC. SDHC reader is backward compatible with the standard SD card. (without HC).

Thank you so much tengtengvn .... guess I'll just pay a lil more and get one directly from a store
i was wondering if i get a 32gb micro sd...does the galaxys2 support it? and where is hte cheapest i can get it from?
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

Price went back up. But found 16gb for less than 10bucks. I figured I'd get two of those and one 32gb before I deploy. Enough room for all the books and movies and games or whatever i need to keep me busy

Read some of the low-star reviews on Amazon. It sounds like quite a few bad cards from this seller. Several also commented that it doesn't come in retail packaging, so no warranty from SanDisk if it goes bad.
This is a great price for this card. I had a class 6 16gb card in my phone and decided to get one of these as all the reviews indicated they where as good as a class 6 and all the class 10 32gb seemed to be hit or miss.

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".

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
