Hello,
Not that many of us Photon Owners are lacking for Storage, but this deal for the 32gb SD Card is so good that I figured it was worth bringing to everyone's attention.
Here is the link:http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-microSDHC-Flash-Memory-SDSDQM-032G-B35/dp/B004G60AD6/
There are multiple options, but this one is eligible for Free Shipping for Amazon Prime Members and I think anyone whereas some of the others have $4.99 Shipping.
Cheers,
JJ
Not to jack this, I got my 64Gb card from NEWEGG for $99.00!
Wow. Newegg has some insane prices. They are great in that they are Authorized Dealers for everything they sell, but their Return Policy is pretty brutal should there be a need for a Return/Exchange. With an SD Card, that is certainly not an issue, but on the AV Forum where I am a Moderator we have had Members with horror stories when AVR's come damaged or they simply want to Return it, That is a sick price for a 64gb SD Card.
I thought the photon could only take up to 32gb external storage? Is there a way to make 64gb work? I could easily max out my 32gb card if i put some more music on it.

There is instructions here someplace but, put card in reader (or slot on your desktop if you have one?) put reader in SDHC on computer and type:
format /FS:NTFS G:
replace 'G' with whatever drive your computere assigns the card. Go to media player and move your playlist, movies, whatever, then put in photon.
I bought one of these a couple weeks ago. Works great, but file transfers are kinda slow since it's a class 4.

Bought one and when it arrived, it had pictures from the previous owner of whatever it came out of. It had pics of a funeral and a wedding
The seller I got it from was CTCstore and I'll be sending it back tomorrow for a replacement. I tried to erase the contents and formatted it 3 times and every time the pics came back(and no it wasn't write protected). Weird

while its only 16GB it has a read of 24MBps and write of 21MBps (over double a class 10) perfect for ubuntop

Hello,
That looks mighty intriguing. SanDisk makes a quality product, but I must say that Samsung appears to shame it. As for the 64gb SD Card, I honestly thought it was for a different application and not for the Photon. It too thought 32gb's was all it could handle...
Cheers,

I just bought a 32 GB Lexar card that's very hit or miss from Amazon last week. I should have waited!
using this for my other phone used up all my phone storage last week and this is a great deal!

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.
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Lexar-Media...-/400143735721?pt=PCC_Drives_Storage_Internal
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!!

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

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?

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.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
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.
Swyped from my Atari 2600 3D
I was thinking about getting the Patriot Memor LX microSD 32GB Class 10.
Reviews are mixed but it has their, what seems to be covered by their horrible Customer Service for 5 years. Patriot does make good computer memory so I can only hope it will be good.
I just bought a 32gb class 10 PNY card today from Best Buy and its not recognized by my 3D or my wives G2.
Will this work with our Photons?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lexar-32GB-...1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1318161717&sr=1-1
The price isn't half bad plus it has free shipping. Also, class 10.
Interested if anyone's using one in their photons or anything similar (32gb class 10).
I have a class 6 16GB in mine. WOrks decently. From what I recall the higher the class the quicker it will work, etc etc. And I think for the most part an SD card is an SD card, so if the price is right, and you NEED that much room, get it.
yup. as long as card is genuine it should work.
Thanks guys. That's what I needed to hear!
and yes I do need that much space ^^

Be very carefully when buying these types of items from amazon.
I wanted a 32gb SD card also. Did a lot of web searching for the best price. Found a sandisk 32gb on amazon for about 30 bucks. I jumped all over it. When they arrrived 2 weeks later from China, it was pretty obvious that they were knock offs. The printed label on the card was missing the class information, and the SD adaptor that came with it had a label that was poorly placed. When I inserted the card, it showed the correct amount of memory, 27gb or thereabouts. But problems appeared when actually using the card. Music synced from comp would appear while still connected to comp, but would dissappear completely when disconnected, or appear, but have a 0 byte file size. When i took pictures, they would appear as green blocks when viewed with gallery.
Just make sure your buying from a reputable dealer.
Also, not sure of your location, but current exchange says that item is $65 US. I bought a 32gb, class 10 from best buy for the same price. So its not that good of a price. Though I can't seem to find one right now, they come and go.
the seller in the devilshadow'S link is amazon itself.
Further, Sandisk,Kingston and memorette has too many fakes.
Have not heard fake card of Lexar or PNY.

The printed label on the card was missing the class information, and the SD adaptor that came with it had a label that was poorly placed. When I inserted the card, it showed the correct amount of memory, 27gb or thereabouts. But problems appeared when actually using the card. Music synced from comp would appear while still connected to comp, but would dissappear completely when disconnected, or appear, but have a 0 byte file size. When i took pictures, they would appear as green blocks when viewed with gallery.
Just make sure your buying from a reputable dealer.
Also, not sure of your location, but current exchange says that item is $65 US. I bought a 32gb, class 10 from best buy for the same price. So its not that good of a price. Though I can't seem to find one right now, they come and go.

I'm in europe so the price is about 50ish Euros for me for the card I linked. Also, i am fully aware of the massive knockoff market when it comes to SD cards. It's part of the reason I chose amazon over Ebay. I've also made sure to check if the SD card i bought has the "Dispatched from and sold by Amazon.co.uk" status. The user reviews also guarantee it's genuine.
I bought mine straight from Lexar when they were first released. Ran it in the Evo and now in my Photon.
My first one started exhibiting corruption and eventually died (a few months before I got the Photon). Lexar replaced it with minimal hassle and it's been good to go since.

Will this work with our Photons?

The price isn't half bad plus it has free shipping. Also, class 10.
Interested if anyone's using one in their photons or anything similar (32gb class 10).

Lost my 16gb Card!!!
I have a missing 16gb that I was using, I lost it when I removed it to unlock my bootloader as a precaution.
Looking to get a 32gb card!!!
OK, I will say this one more time. #1, Not all cards are alike. I have a class 2 32Gb SanDisk that has treated me well, on Fuze, Evo, and Photon. I got a class 6 32Gb knock-off for the speed BUT, after we ran the test, my SanDisk blew it away by over 50% speed wise.
Next, I noticed by playing with others phones (Hey, I like to play with phones?), depending on what your doing, is different. For example, playing music or playing a game. Games, I found, need higher I/O than music.
I just bought a 32gb lexar class 10 for $60 at best buy. Im in canada right now. Future shop had a sale, they were sold out. I printed it out and best buy gave me the same deal. My advice is becareful online, there are lots fake cards. Look for sales from a reputable retailer.

Will our Photon support one of the new 64GB cards like this one?
http://amzn.com/B005VFG0B2
According to our phone's specifications, that is a firm "No".
Do NOT waste your money buying one, unless you have another device that can support it. It will not work on the Motorola Photon 4G, or the Motorola Electrify.
As far as I know the new Samsung Galaxy Note is the only phone out that supports that card.

How much more does the sdxc part cost vs the sdhc? I think we'll be good on the sdxc spec for a while, the size limit is 2TB.

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?
Any tried the 128gb from Amazon for 20 bucks?

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)
"PEACE"

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!

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..
