SanDisk4gb microSDHC for $75 a good deal?

i saw it on amazon and i'm not entirely confident that it will work with the mogul...i'm positive the $20 2gb microSD's will work, but it'd be nice to have double the memory without carrying anything extra around.
there's also a microcenter very near me with some generic 2gb microSD's for about $25...
what do you think?

you can get it cheaper off ebay i think.
i thought it was like $60 on amazon too. it has been CONFIRMED that the 4GB microsd by sandisk DOES in fact work with the mogul, so you shouldn't be too worried about buying it. I myself don't see the point in having to pay for that much extra storage. I got my 2gb card for $9 from buy.com.

thanks, i was thinking the same thing. my old wizard's 2gb minisd was never completely full; there was no point, it would've run out of battery before i got through half of the media. i'm guessing that i'll go with the 2gb microsd. i'm still VERY impressed with the size of the 4gb card...it's like a fingernail!

I grabbed a 4gb microsd off ebay for $60 + 9$ shipping.. came in 4 days and it works great... It's a sandisk microsdhc - and came with a usb reader.
It was from this guy -

I just bought a scandisk sealed 4 gb microSD from Amazon for $69. I have seen a lot of posts spread across several forums sharing that their 4 gb cards they bought from eBay were scams as they would only hold up to 2 gb of data.

Works like a champ!

Not all phones that can take Micro sd are SDHC compatable, SDHC works with WM6 not WM5 and it's also hardware related too.
The Sandisk 4gb works great with the Mogul, even though htc said maximum 2gb microsd cards, there have been a couple of problems reported with other brands of cards, so Sandisk is the one to get on a Mogul. any other brand may give you problems later on.

Newegg also has a kingston for $25 (including minisd and sd card adapters), and a sandisk for about 35...
Personally, I prefer kingston, but that's just me.

I found the best deals on Ebay...
And you can run the SDHC Patch to use cards larger than 4GB on the Titan/Mogul/6800
Works great I have a 8GB card in my phone and love it! The entire North America map from Garmin with tons of room to spare!

How about this one:

This is worth it, take it from someone who was looking for something other than SanDisk 32GB C2 I have been waiting for Kingston's 32GB C4 for long time and when it came out I got it though offical site for $159.

Yeah, I ordered one of these last week from newegg along with an otterbox defender case for $33 w/free shipping for both.... not too bad at all. Should be getting them today. Has anyone used the Kingston class 4 32gb card for running android on the hd2?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Well, far as I know people do claim the R/W IOPs for HD2 when card inside the device won't go beyond class 2 rate but some who did use class 4-6 cards said they did see major improvement in terms of loading OS/Apps from mSD card. Anything beyond class 4 is an overkill on HD2 that I accept unless you are moving around massive amount of data and use HD2 as your mean to transfer it, in that case just buy thumb drive.
"Sent from my PC using THE hand" lol

I was in a Fry's Electronics the other day and I saw a 16gb Class 10 microsd card for $32.00. Don't remember the maker but it was not name brand, that is extremely questionable

wow
my videos which are about 12g play almost instantly now i love this card and the free usb reader, thanks kingston

Ya this card was worth waiting for hell I shot up an storm in this section comparing other vendors. Now I have the SanDisk 16GB C2 card not sure what to do with it, hopefully I can sell that cheap.

same
stuck with the sandisk

I ordered this 32GB class 4 card from Kingston and it is much slower then my old SanDisk card. Booting Android took over 5 minutes and after that the device still is VERY slow.
With its card reader I could copy my files onto it with 3-4MB/s.
Then I installed SKTools under Windows Mobile and used its benchmark tool to compare my SD Cards:
My old SanDisk 8GB card (stock one from the blackstone, afaik class 2): ~6,6MB/s reading and 1,1-1,5MB/s writing
The new class 4 32GB Kingston card: ~2,2MB/s reading and 500-700KB/s writing
So I can't use Android with this crappy SD card.

Ya IDK man same on my end. Took me 25min to traf 320mb files, ATM showing me 116min to traf 4.1gb.

i got kingston 23gb class 4. really disappointed takes forever to transfer. but speed test shows its class 4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861232
oh yeah i got the one from frys it rocks to bad its not 32gb.

I would stick with SanDisk.
I wanned to try out a faster card so got a class 6 Kingston 8gb.. while it loaded things faster, it caused severe stuttering and lagginess at times.
Upon reserach i found, kingston, and many other cards are not the same quality grade as sandisk, i am told in order to be price competitive they buy crap from others at cheap and stick thier name in it. And sometimes they buy rejects from sandisk, toshiba, samsung etc and brand them.....
Unfortunately i cant remmeber the links i researched....
So i would stick with sandisk, or another proven manufacturer....

UThis is total BS, I started it at like 6PM and now its 10:40PM and still 78min's to go WTF and its just 4.2GB music files avg at like 3-6mb/ea. Now I remember putting the whole dir in SanDisk 16GB Class 2 in less than 40min. So WTF does it take so long? Also as I wrote to Kingston CS ill share it here.
To make the file transfer go faster you have to directly allocate the file in memory thus saving time for R/W IO access. I did test many times but I am not even sure HD2 is following SD 2.0 or is it just this POS card no were close to even the stock SanDisk's.
Test: Dir with 5 files at 5mb/ea so thats 25mb. If you copy each file you reduce the time by 3x but if you copy the dir all the objects inside takes time to allocate for some reason.
PS: I am thinking about now getting SanDisk 32GB Class 2.
***UPDATE***
3.85GB

--------
SanDisk 16GB Class 2 = 26min
Kingston 32GB Class 4 = 191min

I also don't understand this.. I have a 16gb C2 card and wanted to experiment a lot with the various android roms out there, so thought a C4 would be the answer. ordered a 16gb C4 and it is always slower than the C2. a full 30 seconds on booting Android.
This confuses me.....okay okay .. thats not hard to do, but as far as I'm concerned if a card is rated at twice the "constant" speed of the other .. it should be faster...

I think it really depends on the card and not the class. I have a couple of Class4 and Class6 cards with identical builds of android and my class2 16gb continually outperform them in boot times and general speed. Class only designates write speed and there is a lot more to an SD card's performance that is not captured in the class designation.

ATM I am thinking about returning the Kingston 32GB C4 as I spoke to Kingston Tech Support and might go with SanDisk 32GB C2. Alot of people say SanDisk is superior and is faster for some reason and getting close to class 4 rating.

I can only quote my experience and that is that kingston C4 is NOT fast at all.
Good luck to you.. and if you find the San Disk C4 is sooo much faster than the C2 can you report back please .. ?? So I can go get one

I just bought a kingston 32gb class 6 micro sdhc but when ever i put it in my hd2 it just freezes up and as soon as I remove the card it works fine again.At first i thought that it was a fake so I:
1)performed multiple tests,
2)reformated a 1000 times,
3)even putting 20gb of data just to make sure.
Turns out that it is authentic and it works perfectly on my girlfriend's htc BalckStone it also worked when I installed NAND (which i later removed due to insufficient memory).Ive been searching for days, I think its a windows mobile issue, any tips??

LOL you are way to funny man as you said "I just bought a kingston 32gb class 6 micro sdhc" and then on top of that "Turns out that it is authentic".
I am guessing you got this card from eBay? If thats the case then its fake ill tell you why as there is no Kingston 32GB Class 6 card ATM. My best bet is you do extended data testing on it and verify the content to make sure its not corrupted. But if I was you I wouldn't do any of this as ill return that POS, why take chance with your data? Also NEVER buy memory cards via eBay or else you will be pwned with notorious chinese fakes.
But for those who actually thinking about buying the legit Kingston 32GB Class 4 microSD read below and think twice.

Patriot Signature 16GB Micro SDHC Class 4 Memory Card
$25 - $5 rebate
= $20 with free shipping

Patriot SD cards are not a bad deal just don't expect to be able to use them with Honeycomb. The Honeycomb thread is only too full of other members like myself who found them to be really SLOW regardless of the rated class! Replaced it with a Sandisk and to my surprise, HC woke up from it's laggy slumber and was as snappy as the "preview" version could probably be. I'm using the Patriot card in another android device now and it's fine for far less demanding duties.

I was hunting for a good fast NC card and ended up with this 8GB card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208453
It has very good speed ratings for a reasonable price.
I couldn't find a good deal on a 16GB card that REALLY runs at class 6 or better reliably. That's why I ended up with the 8gb for now.
I did, however, get one of these 16GB Patriots for the wife's new Optimus V.

San Disk is the way to go. Using a class 4 and its pretty good for speed, reader on nook is class 6 so close enough.

Some benchmarks:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...na&AID=10521304&PID=4169959&SID=1c6j6nbtdtth7
(benchmarks via Crystaldiskmark)
Transcend 8GB class 6 that was so highly liked at newegg: Seq read/write: 19.09 / 18.15
The Patriot 16GB (that this thread is about) - seq read/write 17.6 / 4.5 !
Good performance for raw storage, prob not great for Roms.

HTC HD2 Memory Cards - Question

As for these four memory cards, is that you recommend to the HD2?
1. SANDISK MICRO SD 16GB class 4
2. ADATA MICRO SD 16GB class 4 or ADATA MICRO SD 16GB class 6
3. KINGSTONE MICRO SD 16GB class 4

Sandisk because it has stable performance and more compatible than other cards on wp7

I personally used Sandisk for a very long time and continue to do so but i have recently swapped it out for a Transcend 8GB class 10. You can find it
on ebay here for $10.50. Read and write speeds are impressive and it works great for Android or to just have really. I don't use WP7 so i can't honestly
say if it'll work or not for that. A quick search in the WP7 Q&A could shed some light on it. I just couldn't foresee how it would even be a problem though.
Google the SD cards your interested but add the word benchmark to the end. This can give some insight on what cards generally have the better
performance and which don't. Higher speed ratings don't always mean better scores so look at the benchmarks and most important, the reviews.
If Sandisk is the card your most interested in i could sell you some of mine. I can't compete with China or knockoff prices but i could offer something
cheaper then what you might pay at Best Buy, Target or even Walmart. $8 for a 8GB sandisk class 4, $15 for a 16GB sandisk class 4 or both for $20.
Improtant warning about (some) sandisk cards. While shopping in the past i did see a lot of fake sandisk cards. I've always heard the easiest way to spot
a fake sandisk is buy looking where the speed rating is placed. If its off to the corner then it might be fake. It should be centered in the middle as all mine are.

Sankdisk, if not Kingstone.
Honestly, I'd go all the way and get 32gb. Thats what I did.

Sandisk, and buy only from certified OEM seller.
Any card from auction: 95% probability of getting fake one. They may work as original, or may not.

I recommend samsung 32GB class10.
Its effect is very good.

for some reason I am unable to submit url's. but today amazon is having a deal on memory including micro sd cards. head over to Amazon's deal center under the search bar it says "today's deals". click there. also Lexar has its 128GB micro SD card on sale for $73 from Amazon
hope this helps

Amazon are reputable and easy to deal with if there are problems.
I got a Sandisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-1 card with adapter 128GB
It's the fastest 128GB on the market at present, the 64GB has a faster Ultra Extreme as the poster above linked to, though I wanted the extra storage and have had no issues with the 64GB version of this card recording 4K video previously.
The tech reviews I read seemed to universally state the Lexar did not have the same write speed, which will be important for video storage. And there is not a big difference in price.
The 200GB are only just new to Market and are a stupidly high price at present, definitely not worth it yet.
