16GB Class 6 - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone here have a 16GB Class 6 Micro SDHC?
Just wondering how much you paid for it, been looking on internet and cheapest I can find is about 45$-55$
If anyone knows of a good site where they might be cheaper let me know

The 16GB class 6 were ridiculous. I went with the 8GB Trancend on newegg for $20.

I have a 16GB class 6 that I got off of Amazon.com. IIRC, it cost around $60.

Which brand Class 6 Card is the fastest for G1?

Actually I am using TDK class 6, but I just find it not fast enough for swapper.
When I use it for swap, it just make the phone less responsive.
Which brand do you like most?
Most people say that a-data are very good, there's also some mixed reviews about Transcend and Sandisk. That's all I know so if someone else could some more info that would be great.
I've heard mixed reviews of a-data... like 1 guy got like 3 bad a-data cards in a row... another always had a good one.
I got a transcend... heard many others too on newegg.com... no complaints from me.
Does anyone know any good places to order from in the UK? Newegg doesn't ship to the UK and we don't have enything equivilent. Amazon and eBay just don't have enough choice.
I'm loving my Transcend card.
8GB Class 6 $18 at Newegg. Nothing but smooth sailing.
Just orderd a transcend class 6 8 mg. from Amazon for $19.95 ($5 shipping)
You should be able to order from Amazon.

What class of MicroSD card?

As above, which class should I go buy for cyan roms? Best suitable for cyan roms?
get a class 6. newegg.com has an 8 gig class 6 for 20 bucks plus free shipping
You can choose to get a class 6, but a class 2 should work just fine.
Here's a sale going on right now.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208453&Tpk=20-208-453
14.99 free shipping 8GB class 6
The higher the better, honestly it doesn't really matter because you probably won't be using a swap partition, unlike Hero where it's essential. 8GB Class 6 cards are very cheap, you might aswell pick one up.

Find me a major manufacturers website that lists a class 6 32gb microSDHC for sale at any price and I might believe it. Until then, I won't.

Why would you think it's too good to be true? How much do you think a 32gb would go for?
I bought a 32 gb scandisk from ebay for 29.99 and it works on everything EXCEPT my evo don't waste your money trust me

i wouldn't bother. it's most probably a scam. i bought two of them in the past. they are usually 2gb cards that are rebadged to make them look like 32gb cards. if you tried to put anything larger than 2gb, you get the corrupt card message.
Only reputable company to make 32gb micro sdhc now is Sandisk and there card is rated at class 2. So I would seriously doubt anyone else would sell them for $15 dollar unless we are in the stage where cards are 1tb and not gb. Just use common sense and you don't be victim of scams as you only empower them by doing so.
PS: ATM I'm shopping for real 32gb c4 or 16gb c6 so let's see if anyone else is welling to produce 32gb cards.
Well looking at the feed backs, almost all the ones regarding the MicroSD card were something like:
PayPal unclaimed - requested repayment. Could not repay via eBay, so cancelled
So yah, I wouldn't bother
Also, the seller claims it's class 6 which screams fake/scam
My question is WTF is Kingston and PNY with there own 32gb cards. At least competition would lower the price. I heard people were picking up Sandisk 32gb c2 for $50 of Verizon by scheming them as they still sell for $100 which is much lower than anyone else ATM.
BuyDOTcom (noob users can't post links) has a 3C pro 32GB microSD card for like $120. It's a class 4.
Other than that, I haven't seen much competition at all in this area.
I'm content to wait until later this year for more people like RiData and so.
this fake
98.9% Positive feedback
i have a question:
how does he get so many positive feedback on ebay ?
(i believe too its fake though ..)
I bought one of these from eBay, not from the same person though. It was a 32Gb Class 4, I got it for about £20.
I works fine in laptop card reader. Put it in my HD2, tried copying a large amount of data, which failed, now I have an 8Mb sd card!!
It may not be the way to go.
Here's an equation that I have calculated to help you out.
MC + E = NO
Where MC = Memory card
E = Ebay
NO = No
And now there's a sale on a class4 16gb microSD card:

Well, many of the fake memory cards use host for storage, to fake the large capacity and fast access time.
So when you used it on your laptop, it actually stored all the data on your hard disk. Cool, you thought: it's all working.
Then you used it on HD2, which was impossible for the dodge hack, so it revealed its true nature.

Just installed the new card and swapped over my files. For smaller files, data transfer doesn't seem very different, but large movies definitely seem to transfer faster.

32GB Class 6 MicroSD - Does it exist?

Where can you purchase an actual Class 6 32GB MicroSD card, or do they even exist right now? I've seen some on ebay, but I'm doubtful that they are legit.
Here's the one I found on Ebay:
32GB on Ebay
Is it really even worth trying to get a class 6 card? I mean, my 16GB is a class 6 and I've never had anything less. But is the upcharge you pay really worth the money?
Newegg has 5 different 32GB cards:
http://goo.gl/eFQn9
It doesn't appear that there are any 32GB Class 6 cards out at the moment.
Kingston's own website doesn't list a 32GB Class 6, so that eBay listing is probably bogus.
I don't think for basic phone storage the class makes a difference.

I have tried a few different class 6 cards and Sandisk class 2 was better. Don't wast the money.

Appreciate the info! I believe I'll be holding out for this one. I have two 16GB that I use at the moment so I pretty much have things covered. I'm really looking forward to getting a 32GB though. It'll be nice to have a phone with 40GB storage capacity.
You have to keep in mind that the class of an SD card only determines the write speed. So, for taking high res photos and HD video, the class is important. But for Apps2SD and other uses that rely on reading, the class is fairly irrelevant.

Writing takes much longer than reading though it seems, because when I run Quandrant and it measures I/O, writing takes much longer than reading.
I found a Class-4 32 gig card at Frys for 100$ so I went with it, not so much for the speed but for the capacity.

If you read only like 2 posts down, it's actually an SD, not a micro. Sorry.
Well the best card on the market for the price is a 16gb
I have found this card at newegg class 10. 16gb, even got a review for the htc incredible that was not bad, but the person did say that it only read it as a class 6. Was only $28. its sold out as of right now, but when it comes back you should probably get one. Im hoping this company makes a 32gb version.
but if you want a known name brand then I would go with Patriot 16gb class 10 microsd which happens to be also out of stock but goes for $38. Probably just the price difference on name brand, but you never know. both are unfortunately sold out. means they are hot right now.

The reviews of this card are discourageing and the prices still need to go down substantially before 32Gb cards will become competitive with 16Gb cards. Right now you can buy 2 16Gb cards for much less from reputable makers. I just don't see spending so much money and run a constant risk that tbe card would go bad on you.
