Saw this card on Newegg today. Pretty cheap for a Class 10 16GB card and reviewers state it meets Class 10 standards, and that it appears to be a rebranded Samsung card, so it is a quality product.
Android only supports Class 6, meaning this card should be plenty quick, and will utilize full Class 10 potential during file transfers over USB.

Can you confirm its speed? I was reading the reviews and they were saying the ,speed isn't class 10.

Wintec 16gb CL10
Just got the Wintec 16gb CL10 from Newegg, put it in my Sprint Hero to format and as soon as it finish saying setting SD card the screen locked up. removed battery/ installed and saw installed apps icons were gone in its places gear icon. Installed original 8gb and app icons were back but apps came up with FC. removed each app and reinstalled and they work fine now. I'm afraid to put the 16gb back in, it seems fine in my laptop. I have no idea whats wrong!
I got one of these around Christmas. Formatted, partitioned and transferred my stuff. I thought all was well until I had to restore a nandroid and it bootlooped. I put my old 8G Sandisk back in and haven't tried again. So my experience was it worked about a week. I guess it's a write/read issue. I had trouble with recovery mounting the card to even see my backups. I had read reviews of spotty quality and I guess I had the bad luck of the draw.
hmmm ok then I guess i'll pass on this one. I want to get one that'll last so i can transfer it to a new phone when i upgrade.
on htc website, it says microSD 2.0 compatable, & i know some phones can only support so much extra storage, ie: some say microSD up to 16gb, so maybe the hero doesnt support high capasity cards.
anybody got a conformation on how big a microsd card we can go, that wont cause issues.
i was looking @ this card in the OP, but now im double thinking.

32GB class 6,a class 10 card will run at class 6 speeds when mounted in the phone.When unmounted and transferring files from your computer to phone or the opposite.

If you mean the 32gb your gonna have to search cuz I've seen very few. Don't remember what brand,most that are 32 gb I've seen are class2. I have a class 10 8gb here and it runs slower in my phone than my class 6 does.Sorry I can't give you more info.My class 10 is a Patriot
I bought the wintech 16 gig card back in january and 15 days later I woke up and my phone said the sd card was not formatted. Both windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10 only saw the card as 1 gig but neither could format it nor create new partition tables. I lost all the data but luckily had a semi recent backup on my computer. RMA'ed it back to newegg and got a 16 gig class 6 card from a more reliable manufacturer.

Hi,
I want to buy a micro SD : I have seen that the maximum storage for micro sd was of 16 GB.
Someone has already tested a 32 GB storage card?
If yes, Does it work correctly?
Thanks for your answer.
it's works i don't now how becouse i just test my friends card.
Sorry for my English
Maybe it's was on android 1.6 (max 16), but 2.1 should be supported with 32GB
well, i got my X8 only a week ago, it's my first smartphone.
seriously, what do you guys want to store with 32GB card?
i can't imagine what to store in such space, i figure one could make a portable toilet out of it and still got some more space.
Movies (avi, wmv, etc). HD photos from professional photocameras, hi fi music like wav. Download a lot of stuff with torrent client and else. 32 GB really need for me.

Question was not what I do with all that storage.
Is it possible to have 32GB card in X8 I think that it support up to 16GB ??
I couldn't tell you, because I've bought an 16GB card (class10).
With the price of a 32 GB microSD, I could not fool me.
I think that 32GB is more money then the Phone
You are able to mount 32GB card I've just checked it out but the results are horrible - 500 MB of freshly copied music on the card, and now it is showed as "damaged" on the notification bar. I wouldn't recommend it to you.

I think the X8 will also work extrem slow with a sd card of 16 or 32gb
And with 32Gb class10? The read/write speed is biggest?
I believe that is not a question of card's speed, but more of device's ability to comprehend such a huge space. Just like with enormous hard drives in older computers.
ok.. maybe this out of topic..
what brand of SD card with class 6 or 10??
n where to buy??
im just unable to find it in my country.
in my opinion, 32gb can be handle with very well if this SD card are good.
i mean good SDHC
i found it in my country, designed for camcorder and etc..
but price also different
i just want 8gb with class 10..
currently i have 8gb, no class
my quadrant almost same with droid x, so i think if i have good SD card i can overlap droid x.
where to buy???
32 gb for a phone is a lot of capacity
Im using 32gb sandisk class 2 memory card in my galaxy s initially when it was 2.1 it was slow. But now after 2.2 update its okay. Only startup and shut down process Will take long time. class doesn't matter on phone it matters only when data is to be transferred from pc to phone . Max transfer speed Will be 2mbps in class 2.

there's a lot of good brand to choose actually, personally i'm using transcend.
what city are you in? in Bandung, you can try BEC. i bought mine from kaskus though, it has almost everything we look for
class.. hmm IMO it's unnecessary to use such a high class card. class 6 (6MB/s) is sufficient enough, because android apps are usually not really big, only 10-12 MB at most so no need for such a large data transfer rate.
Has anyone had good success with the 32Gb card? I dont want to buy one if it's just gonna not work properly.
thanks
Won't work
Chances are, it wouldn't work.
The Xperia X8 currently only supports up to 16GB of memory. If you go higher than that you would experience problems. You might be able to make it work for a few minutes then it might not be able to read the mem card.
Hopefully, in future updates we could use 32GB cards.
I've searched around, no walk-arounds on this yet. If I were you, I'd stick with 16GB. That's a lot of storage!
Hi,
I tested 64GB mircro SDXC in my LG 2x (Modaco rom Gr6 and HP 2x kernel RC12-R) and it DOES NOT work
I was able to format the card to FAT32 in the phone, but when I try to mount it, the phone restarts itself.
If anyone else has different experience, please share.
BTW the card is SDSDQY-064G-U46A
UPDATE:
I managed to fix it. I'm not sure which steps were actually necessary but just to be sure I list them all.
First I tried NicomUA's idea of splitting the patritions in two 32GB. For that I used Paragon Partition Manager 11 Free. And IT WORKED! I made two partitions. I was able to access the first one in the phone, but I could not format or edit the second one neither in the PPM anymore.
So I used SDFormatter 3.1 and reformated the card into its original state with option "Format size adjustment".
Then I checked the partition structure again in PPM. It was exFAT, but with 16MB free space at the beginning.
I formated it to FAT 32 and resized it to 32GB (Now I made only one partition and left the rest of the space unallocated). It worked in the phone.
So I tried to resize the partion to see how far I can go. 32GB worked in my phone. 33GB worked in my phone! And suddenly whole 64GB worked in my phone!!!
I filled the card with movies and music to the max and tested if I can really access the content and YES, I was able to play anything on the card!

May be the limit is 32GB ??
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA
Officially, the limit is 32gb. I've seen mods that enable sd cards with higher capacity than the official limit on other phones, but sadly, I don't think there's one yet for the 2x.
yeah, exactly what the other users said on above posts. i also tried it a week ago, in cyanogenmod 9 and it does not detect the sd card (no reboot happened to me, simply doesn't detect it). Let's hope someone release a mod soon for this... 32 gb is nothing... :|

Well I got 1 Gb and it's ok , just kidding.
Try to make one 31Gb(or less then 32Gb) partition on SD card. It can start work.
Not made for SCXC
i dont think making 2 partition will work ,the SD card reader is made for SHHC (high capacity ) not for SDXC (Xtrem capactity ) ,so i thing it's a hardware problem

Guys I have found this Sandisk 64 Gb Micro sdxc....its really cheap
http://www.ebay.in/itm/SANDISK-64GB...E-PRICE-FREE-SHIPPING-ALL-INDIA-/150795837120
Should I buy this and what are the chances that it will work with our O2x
And according to this
http://www.androidnz.net/2011/09/sandisk-64gb-micro-sdxc-cards-confirmed.html
it says it performs even worse than a class 2 sdhc card in random 4k write speed
So, what would you advice should I buy 64 Gb or a 32 Gb Class 10???
Thanx in advance
Oh boy! Gotta try it out.. 64 grams is impressive..
I would prefer the 32gb class 10 for the speed... also 32gb is plenty of room to fill... class 2 is very low speed and could interfere with the recording of videos for example in 1080p... I think...
Cheers
wow that's great news. thnx.
has anyone tried the 64 gb in O2x or any other android for that matter???
i am in a dilemma here whether to buy 32 gb class 10 or the sandisk 64 gb?

go for the faster 32 gig. you will be sorry if you get the 64 gig card only to see that it cant read /write your huge files fast enough.
I think m gonna wait for a month as my exams are round the corner..
but i'll definetely buy a sandisk mobile ultra as it has the best benchmarks
B/w Has anyone else got or tried the 64 GB card in optimus 2x??? Plz reply guyz...
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium
Anybody besides the OP has managed to do this ? I've tried for weeks, I give up.
Used two cards, both SDXC 64GB, the SanDisk Ultra Mobile and a no-brand one from Amazon.
I used two different Optimus 2X, one running CM7, another running CM9.
The cards can't be formatted in the phones, they are simply not recognized at all.
I formatted them in Linux and Mac OS X, always FAT32, and always made a partition smaller than 32GB first, then tried ExFAT, full or bigger partitions, unallocated space in part or all, anything really. Nothing works.
Edit : the cards are fine, I can use then in Macs, PCs, DSLR and even a Galaxy Note. No problem.
Any ideas ? I'd think it's just not possible and the O2X hardware doesn't support SDXC, just SDHC, that's why I'm asking if anyone else can comment.
I purchased a SanDisk 64GB MicroSDXC memory card on Amazon.com, formatted directly on my Razr M, and it works perfectly!!! Now my Razr M has more total memory than my friend's I-phone 5 which he spent $400 for (64GB model). Plus when a larger GB microSD card is available, I can format it and expand my memory even more!!
This is correct - I posted the same in the Moto forums a few weeks ago, but apparently the RAZR M cannot utilize a higher than Class 6 card for the addition R/W speeds. I got a Class 10 but just letting people know it isn't necessary.
Literally ordered that exact one off Amazon right when I read this post lol thank you!

I love it when an iPhone user tries to explain why it's a bad thing to have sd card support. They usually end up stumbling all over their own words and thoughts, never really coming to a coherent or reasonable explanation.

How much did you pay for the microSD card?
So in other words we can go up to 64GB SD card ?
But speed wise we ca go whatever but it can only utilized the speed of the Class 6 Cards ?

Older Sandisk Class 6 are slower than Newer ones and same is true for Samsungs Cards.
Also does it read U1 standard Cards ?

I tried this with my Verizon Razr M, Android version 4.1.1. After I install the card, the Mount SD Card command is available, but after I choose it, I get a message that says Blank SD Card and the Unmount and Erase (Format) commands aren't available. I've tried with two phones and two cards, which makes it less likely that the results are due to a defective card.
Have the people who have succeeded had phones that were unlocked or rooted or are there some other steps needed to make the 64 gb MicroSDXC work? I've read suggestions to reformat the card from a PC to FAT, but others that say the card should only be formatted using the phone. Thanks.

This poster says 32gb is max for the HD? Without long term problems. The two phones should behave the same.
Just got the 64GB myself. Writes at 6Mbps, but reads at 25Mbps. Pretty snazzy so far. Going to try filling it up and letting it read the card, since that's what made my Droid X always crap out on higher capacity cards, lol.

Ok. I took back the Samy to Frys, found a Plextor (sandisk) at Bestbuy, the slow write, half price version. It performs as fast on our M. It is class 10 & the card has the identical markings of the $99 Sandisk.
USE custom recovery or safestrap to format from the xfat to default. You can use the "phone up" storage erase but the recovery works better for those on my sd swap: do formatting & copying while in recovery. Otherwise you have to reflash the swap.
I had problems getting windows or osx to format the full 64 gb.
I wonder if formatting only on the phone might be key to trouble free use?

If you're gonna be installing a lot of software you should probably go with 4+. I believe 2 is sufficient if you have it on hand

I you are pretending to really use the rPi as a "real computer" everyday, install softwares, development kits, etc I would recommend a 8GB or more SD card, they are not expensive(as a guy said, a 32GB card will cost less than 30 bucks in USA. This is difficult here in Brazil, today I bought a 8GB MicroSD card for 30 dollars). If you want to use the rPi for small things, Chrome OS or something like that I think that a 4GB card will be fine.
I Picked myself up a couple of these at the start of this year, Class 10's and on the known Good List and only 20GBP at the moment, which is a bargain. Now all I need a RaspPi to go with it

You can be happy getting the 512MB version then, so waiting isn't that bad.
OT: 4GB ist enough for almost everything, but then its recommended to mount /home onto an external drive for storing user data.
