Subject line says it all.
I can't find anyone on the high street who do anything above a class 4, and looking online I find loads of people who have items listed, but down as "out of stock".
I've already been bitten with ebay, so please don't suggest that. (Bought a "class 6" Micro SD from a retailer with almost perfect feedback, card arrives, completely unreliable, crashes my Magic, files go corrupt, etc, i.e. the card was a POS).
Where are other UKers getting their class 6'es from?
7 day shop if you're not in a hurry
MicroSD 8GB Class 6
Thanks muchly. Ordered.
(particularly irritating as paid a tenner for the unbranded pile of arse off of ebay )

Meritline is an awesome site. I order tons of stuff from there (especially their 3 packs of HDMI cables, usually with coupon for 6.99)
But there shipping is quite slow unless you live close to California. or can wait for things to arrive from the Far East. (Hong Kong, Singapore, China)
The other thing is their customer service is top notch!
For just a couple more dollars you can get one from Newegg if you are in a hurry...
I got a class 2, 8 GB card at my local electronics store for $17. Don't waste money/effort getting your hands on a class six because the Hero won't read it at it's native speed.

That is false, and frankly I'm damned sick of hearing that BS repeated over and over. The "class 2" thing comes entirely second-hand from some user who apparently got a note from a random low-level customer service rep saying something to that effect. Well it's not true.

The Hero is fully capable of exceeding the read and write capacities of a Class 2 card. My Hero maxes out at about 2.5 - 3 MB/s writing to the included Class 2 card, but easily reaches 6-8 MB/s using my aftermarket Class 6 card.
Definitely, definitely, definitely get a Class 6 card, whatever size you buy. It's absolutely worth it.
Anyway, NewEgg will ship you an 8GB Class 6 card from the US for $22.95. I'd recommend that instead.
Great find! Thanks!

Assuming you mean the Transcend card, I got it at amazon at roughly the same price after shipping...and I'll +1 that recommendation.

They both contain actual data. If you don't believe my data without some pictures, that's not my problem.

Even if that wer the case (which is not), then you try and buy stuff hard proofing it for the future, so the logical way would be to buy a class six card, which you can use when in the future you dont have a Hero anymore and do have a phone that "supports" class six.
Even less expensive!
Meritline has another brand Class 6 8GB for a dollar less (with shipping)! Only $18.45.

This is not a deal. If you think it's a deal you're new to the internet. I got a SanDisk 8GB Micro SDHC Class 6 for $18 shipped from new egg. Keep your sights on dealnews.com for micro sdhc deals.
On top of that Meritline is good but has insanely cheaply-built knock-offish type stuff. Got my sdhc card reader from them for $0.98 shipped. See what I'm saying here?

His was also Sandisk, that's noteworthy.
I know a lot of people have good luck with Trancend, Adata, etc... but I try my hardest to stick with Kingston or Sandisk for my SD cards.

Yeah, I hear you there. These things burn out eventually though. I'm also going to bump up to a 16gig soon.

Well that just make me look foolish.
My point mine was not a deal, it was quite standard pricing; therefore, neither is yours.
Here, this makes it easier:
Take Your pick!!
16GB Sandisk cards seem to go for ~£21 on ebay. They're class two but I don't use swap or apps on ext, so I don't mind. Are these cards generally friendly with Magics?
Sandisk are a VERY good brand for SD cards. Be careful of memory cards on ebay though. Most of them are fake. I normally buy from reputable places like newegg.com or local stores.

x2 And also, IMHO, class 2 devices are a lot flakier than class 4/6. I've never had a 4/6 fail, but I have had class 2 micro SDs fail. Might just be me, but I would rather have the better classification at the sacrifice of more $ or less GB
Thanks guys/gals, think I'll get one then. I spoke to a guy with a Desire who said he'd never had a problem with Sandisk.
Hey guys i am looking for a good deal on 32gb microsdhc cards. I dont know if i should trust the ones on ebay because i know theres many fakes. Last time i ordered the msproduo cards and they were fake... said 8gb but were only 4gb... so i got a refund on those. Also if anyone knows some good deals on 16gb micro m2.
i recommend to buy at shop
Get a Sandisk card, those are usually authentic and offer great value and performance.
If you're looking for a card to put into your HTC Windows Phone, make sure you get a card with one of the following two model numbers:
SDSDQM-032G-B35
SDSDQM-032G-J35A (will be out for sale sometime this month)
A 32GB microSD card will cost you about 70-90 bucks including shipping. If you see an offer for a lot less, stay away from it.
Yea just bought this to put into my HD7. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=250752727418
SDSDQM-032G-J35A (will be out for sale sometime this month) <--- Thats class 4 and it will not work in HD7 right?

Sandisk told me it's for sale in Japan since January 2011 (this month) but so far I haven't seen it for sale anywhere and noone is importing it from there either. They assure me that card will definitely work, but I have not run a test on it since I can't get one.
I am about to do my first complete wipe of Nook for a CM7 build.. Picked up a class 4 8gig at office depot for 14.99 so if that is a good deal hop on it!! So much for productivity

I haven't been to staples in a while, but BestBuy just had the SDSDQ-8192-AB11M on sale, and while their web site showed it as CL2, it was a CL4 in the packages hanging on the hooks in store. they also had another 8gig sandisk class 4 with a different part number... it wasn't on sale, so I didn't write the model number down (but yes, I compared the two P/N's against the sign to make sure i got the one on sale)
Office Depot and Staples the SDSDQ-008G-A11M listed as $14.99 and $19.99 respectively... so its possible its only class2, but then again, its possible they have cl4 in the pack now too...

I just picked up a SDSQ-008G-A11M at staples. Its a CL4 on the card.
But based on crystal disk bench marks, its SLOWER than the SDSQ-8192-AB11M I got a Best Buy.
I just ordered the
Patriot LX Series Class 10 16GB Micro SDHC Flash Card Model PSF16GMCSDHC10 (16GB)
off Newegg. $27.99 after mail in rebate. Free shipping.
EDIT: I looked in the comments about the card and several people have mentioned using this card with their rooted Nook Colors.
FYI, your local Costo has the Sandisk class 4 8GB micro SDHC card for $15.99. They also include 100 free photo prints (worth around $10) if you have the need. I find the Sandisk cards to be compatible with the Nook. I had the A-DATA 8GB class 6 and the Patriot 8GB class 10 both of which lock up on my Nook.

I bought the 8GB SanDisk MicroSD card from Best Buy recently, but it doesn't say what class it is anywhere on the package, has code sdsdq-8192-ab11m on the back. It was sale price of $25, onlybought from there because I had a $15 certificate.
I'm guessing it's class 2. Can someone verify?
There should be a number in a circle on the card. That would be the class. I got a sandisk class 4 8gbat office max this week for 17.99. There were class 2 and 4cards in the same same rack. P
Confirmed that it was a class 2 card. Thanks.
Just got this card in an email from amazon
class 6, 8 gb, 16.99 free shipping

I started a thread in general forum,but maybe here I can receive more help.I bought this SD card and tested with SD tool,it s a bit slower then expected,so i would like to know if it s fake.I post the link to the discussion,so you can find a screenshot of sdtool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21344564#post21344564
Are you able to fill up the entire card with data?
Never buy SD cards from ebay, especially if they are from a low rated or a Chinese seller as they will always be fake and lower size then advertised.
Only buy them from high rated sellers.
I bought it from an italian topseller in ebay.The auction was for a samsung class 6,so it s not my fault.I mailed the seller,and he offered me a replace for an official samsung with logo printed on.
The fake card is a real 16gb card,but the speed is not so great.I want the original one for the 10 year warranty,and for security of my data
