Wintec Class 10 microSDHC 16GB Card - $29.49

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.

Maximum storage card capacity

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!

Micro SD 32 gb for Android

Hi, does anyone know wich of the 32 gb Micro SD Ext supports four partitions.
Now I have a Sandisk 16 GB, which I easily can create a partition Ext 4, but it is too small for my HTC volume. (this is for my programs on the partition Ext 4 Andriod, I think that it's my internal memory). I had purschadan unknown brand (I think a Chinese) from 32 gb on E-bay, but I could not make a Ext 4 partition.
Any ideas of a brand ...
Thanks
Grtz Seki

brand shouldnt be a factor, sounds like you got a duff card is all

Nobody....

I have read up on this a long time ago 8 months now about cards like that if you still have time to return or complain then you should. they write on the cards saying 32gb but when you put it in a phone or pc I think it was said it says 32gb but only fills up way less or not even close so trying to partitioning it won't work. good luck I had a sandisk 16gb class 4 from radio shack and used it in my EVO 4g to ext partition to ext 4 and worked great never used to much memory tho not sure how much you plan to use

Dude, EVERY sd card you buy from ebay and seller is from China you are going to get a fake card. They may say 32GB but they are fake and in reality are 1,2,4 GB. They will even display as 32GB via windows but if you put it through a disc scanner it will start to get errors around teh real end of disc. You could even start to fill it up with movies etc and you will get error at point of card filling its real capacity.

I'm Using SanDisk..

Brand doesn't matter, ANY GENUINE card will do.
BTW: You've bought fake card.
BTW2: Accordingly to some tests (some of them available on xda) one of the best, stable cards are SanDisks up to (optimally) class 6. Kingston is much slower in random read tests and class 10 has much higher power consumption (and surprisingly is quite often slower than class 6 when used with HD2).

[Q] Anyone tried a 64GB Micro SD in the Z1 yet?

On my S3 and Tab 7.7 I had issues getting a 64GB microSD to work - it simply would not register without much messing about (repartitioning etc).
Anyone tried it on the Z1 yet? Wondering if I should bother setting my new card up prior to the phone arriving.

I have my Z1 arriving tomorrow and I have a 64Gb Sandisk microSD waiting - does anyone know if you can format the card as exFAT and use it OK with this phone?

Was also about to ask about exFAT. It's that or EXT4, and I'd rather do exFAT unless there's compelling (kernel/app) reasons to stick to EXT4?

I had the choice between a superfast 32gb sdcard(sandisk extreme 80mb/S) and a normal 64gb card so I took the 32gb card simply because I hate to wait on the progress bar when moving things.
So would exFAT support also apply on a 32gb card? I mean it should right?

Did you check the speed of that card and the transfer rate that Z1 supports?
I want to buy a Sandisk but I don't know whether to buy Extreme (80Mb/sec read/50MB/sec write) or Extreme Pro (95Mb/sec read/90MB/sec write)
can somebody with a high speed microSD card measure the transfer rate with "SD Tools" for example and post here?

Ran a quick test and both write and read is around 40mb/s on my SanDisk Extreme 32gb card. An extreme pro card would do difference if you connect it to pcs alot.
I'm on my phone so sorry for not being able to embed the pic, open the link

The card supports 80MB/sec read and 50MB/sec write, so according to your post, if the trasfer read/write rate is 40MB/sec, maybe there is a limit of 40MB/sec on SD card slot of Z1.
Thanks a lot my friend, you covered me.[

From what I gathered from that app pretty much so. The limit seems to sit at 40/40mb which is pretty fast actually in my opinion - I already knew that there was no way that I could reach 80-90mb/s in reading speed but I did think that 30-35mb/s would be maximum.
But as I said, if you transfer over large files from a usb 3.0 connected sd card reader from your PC time will fly by with this card. because the write speed is excellent!

So the Sandisk Extreme 45MB/sec read/write will be ok with the device, no reason to buy to more expensive 80MB/sec

I got a Kingston 64 gig microSDXC (so-called 'class 10'), works fine. read/write is 35 & 15 mb/sec, respectively.

yes i test and work

It works for me too! Too bad you can't install apps on it without root access.

I've been having a lot of trouble with my new Xperia Z1.
I tried two different micro SD cards, one of 64gb and the other 8gb.
When I transfer music using Media Go, most of it can't be played or fast forwards(damaged files).
Photos I took were deleted a short while afterwards, others were damaged and could not be viewed.

Works like a charm for me:good:

The trademark never heard before so I will not risk, if you want a high transfer rate go for Sandisk Ultra but I remind you that the Hardware slot for microSD on Xperia Z1 is limited to 40mb/s in writing and reading so even if you buy a 100mb/s MicroSD you will use 40mb/s only in any case so spend money for an expensive card in this case is useless.

The two card are good and what you should do is to buy a card whit 40-50mb/s in Reading and Writing to have the best performance. Card with high Reading transfer rate it's easy to find and they are cheap but the card have to have also minimum 40mb/s in writing and here you will have to spend more. If the Sony specifications are 40mb/s in both then it will be the right one, check very careful when you buy them because it can be in reading only. But if you find Sandisk with the same specification then go for sandisk.

The microSD in this case is essential but if you will use that card for games data, with 16gb you will end soon to have it full. Today any games are around 2gb each. I will recommend to buy a 32gb minimum.

After android 4.0 ICS Google disabled app2sd feature.
now u can just install apps/games with all their data to internal storage.
u can find just Galaxy S4 & Note3 that have this feature. (and maybe S3 with JB 4.3)
But, 16GB (12GB for user) is enough to install 3-4 FHD game and 7-8 normal game and 30-40 apps
however more storage is always better but i don't think thr s someone who want to install games and app and never uninstall them!
