When will 32GB class 6 cards be available? - Hero, G2 Touch General

Not that I can afford it at the moment, but in the near future I should be getting a real job and then I will. I just wanted to ask and see if anyone knows when 32GB GB microsdhc cards will become available. I haven't found any yet. As a stopgap solution I got an 8GB card as I think it would be a waste of money to go from 16 to 32 GB.

They haven't really brought out class 6 16gb ones yet, not at a reasonable price anyway. So I have no idea, couple of years probably.

I have just received my Transcend 16gb Class 6 microsd for my Hero. There are a few around, just need to search.
Im in Australia so i dont think there is a need for me to direct you to an aussie site...

I beleive those were SANDISK, not Samsung. And again, I don't think they are avail yet. Should be before Xmas.
Re: C4 or C6, does the Kaiser even take advantage of the C6 speed? i.e. I know it can read it, but can it read/write that fast to it to see the differencebetween C4 and C6? I've asked this and no one has answered it.

Just when I get the 6GB an 8GB is available.....
im glad i'm not the only one holding out to this 8gb stick.
Speed and Elite
Looking at the cards at elite show that they are all Class 2.
Do a search on ebay, there are 6gb class 4 cards for about $70 (the same as elite class 2). But they are the first 8gb cards I have seen.
Thanks,
Bobby

the top memory card is always overpriced, considering the nuisance of carrying one of those tiny things and exchanging it out, especially if your running programs off it, its worth it.
- Called elite electronix, they expect stock of the 8gb cards during the last week of october.

I contacted memorybits.co.uk in the UK and they said hopefully by 2nd November it will be in stock. Not a bad price at £55.
And still no answer to this question:
Re: C4 or C6, does the Kaiser even take advantage of the C6 speed? i.e. I know it can read it, but can it read/write that fast to it to see the difference between C2, C4, and C6? I've asked this and no one has answered it.
I mean, why wait or pay extra for a C6 if the TyTN II reader can't even sustain that speed?
IMHO, it doesn't really matter. If you want to xfer a large amount of data onto or off the card, the extra bandwidth will be useful.
Plus, I *always* try and buy the best quality part I can. For example, I own SD card camcorders too, and it is always best to put as fast a card as possible in those.

Jomo, I agree that performance and quality do count.
However, with Sandisk surely they only produce one 6GB micro SD card?? If this is the case, why don't you e-mail them about it and ask for the detailed spec?
I've tried contacting them but they've not replied yet.
Not to sure about the speed, bit I received mines today, and I love it. I see no speed difference in reading and writing on the tilt. Mines is the scandisk.
Anybody seen 8GB Sandisk's in the wild? I.E. at Best Buy or Verizon or anywhere? What class are they?
I *just* got my 6GB class4 from Amazon today... but I'd pay the extra for 8 if I didn't have to wait...

I have the Sandisk 6GB card. it's Class 4. My question is, if they come out with a Class 8 one later, can the TyTN II take advantage of the speed? I.e. What's the Kaiser's max speed? I'm sure the festest cards would still be readable, but not sure if it would perform faster than a Class 4 if the Kaiser is the "bottleneck".
As for 8GB, I don't think they are generally avail yet, esp not in the US. I wouldn't expec tot see those available via US mail order til about mid Nov at least, and in stores like BB and CC? Not til next year I bet. They don't even have 6GB cards yet in places like Best Buy, Circuit City, and Fry's Elex...

32gb micro sd for raphael

did anyone tried an 32gb microsd on a htc touch pro (raphael)? i wonder if it will work. htc says that 16gb will work.. but 32gb is more interesting for me...
who can help me out
You'll need a time machine; there are no 32 GB micro SDHC cards available at this time. The highest you can find right now is 8 GB -- 16 GB is supposed to be coming in the next month or two.

Its a shame that some people really do live in a fantasy world???
Scandisk have not even released to Japan yet, never mind Europe! & most definately NOT last week???? The official 1st release is next week with all legitimate suppliers taking pre-orders and being very clear that this is the case!
Here's a response from the Ebay Seller quoted by our friend elroy944 after I though I would see what happened if I place the order with next day delivery offered:
EbaySeller said:
Hi there, we have just received delivery of the memory cards and sandisk have only sent us half the quantity we ordered. We can not supply you with this memory card until middle of next week. Please advise if you wish for a full refund or for us to post out when we receive next week. Apologies for any problems this may have caused but as you can imagine this has caused us a lot of pain as we have sold several of these that we can not deliver. Many thanks for your understanding and please advise for a refund or to wait, thanks

i don't have a sandisk there is only micro sd written on mine one, the link i provided was the one i searched that day. i can't find the one i bought anymore
Mymemory have them but I wouldn't pay 47 pounds for a card that will be half that price in a couple of months
http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Micro-SDHC?&filter=16384#memFilter
there is no 32gb of microsd on the market.
16gb is just starting these days.
Just some people like to spread fake info. May be they feel "cool" then

If you check you will see thay are actually "out of stock" and taking pre-orders only! They dont get stock until the 24th September at the earliest? so I dont think you'll be paying £47 for anything until next week at the earliest?
MODS: Now we've established that you cant get the 16gb card until next week - and that there is NO item as yet with 32gb capacity can we close this thread? There is after all already a legitimate thread covering the 16gb card?
.
If you buy a shady 16GB card, I suggest you try to fill it all up with data to see if it REALLY is 16GB and doesn't just report 16GB when it really isn't.

Don't buy Kingston, that's what I can tell you.
I've tried so far Sandisk (4gb), Transcend(8GB), Kingston(8GB) and TopRAM(2GB).
By experience, I found that Kingston is the worst for multiple file transferring. TopRAM is the cheapest (but after 1 year, part of the memory will have problem, but they do have lifetime warranty).Sandisk is the best. However, for quality and price wise, I recommend this one: Transcend 8GB Class 6
I'm planning myself to get the 16Gb from Sandisk. I was about going to get it on Christmas, but then after reading the forum, so many people are getting problem with it after a while. And the worst thing is most of them got it from eBay, so returning is a *****... That's why my guess is the card is not that stable yet and the true is I don't need 16Gb for the moment. I've only gone as far as 6GB up to now.
The Transcend 8GB Class 6 will give you a very decent speed not less than 6MB/s transfer (but you need to have the right USB adapter - I got lucky, I bought 4 from eBay, and 1 of them turned out to be super good so I sold the other 3). As for reviews links... google it, my friend.
I have the A data class 6 8 gig. I have no qualms with it as far as quality and speed are concerned. My only issue which is a big one, would have to be that I cannot flash anything from it. My bootloader will not recognize it even after I sd formatted it to fat 32. It is such a pain in the ass that im gonna buy the transcend right now in fact.
I've always used Sandisk with no problems. I bought Top Ram once and it failed on me within two weeks. I currently use an 8gb Sandisk and it's fine. I just ordered a 16gb from an ebay seller. Looks like a good deal http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=220333520716
Is there such a thing as 16GB Class 4? I can only find Class 2.
I'm using a 16GB Sandisk card. Works great.

Anyone sourced a 16GB microSD class 4 or 6?

Looking for a 16GB microSD for the Hero.
Anyone sourced a class 4 or 6? or indeed, have you used a class 2 and happy with it?
many thanks all
I have a class 2 16gb in my G1.
Apps2SD and Swap runs fine (Using JacHeroSki Hero rom).
I don't see what the class thing is all about, applications run as speedy as if they were installed on the device itself.
http://www.lowpricememory.co.uk/Sandisk-16gb-micro-sd-memory-card.html
Only used the 2GB card Orange bundle with the phone, and am experiencing a bit of sluggish perfromance on the home screen occasionally - someones said that this is solved by a faster card but will have to wait and see - got one on order.
That link you have posted says 'Class 2' in the write up but the picture is 'Class 4'.
I looked at that earlier and that discrepancy put me off ordering it.

Yes it would. WE HAVE A WINNER, 1 class 6 16gb.
These are still quite expensive though, I'd be tempted just to stick with an 8gb class 6 (which I got for £11 GBP) and when I run out of space, then move up to the 16gb

yeah 16 GB too expensive for now for me, got an class 6 8GB card at £14 on order, as soon as the 16 GB cards are cheap enough I'll grab one, I can wait.
After much googling, I decided to get a class 2 from here:
http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/ph...ANDISK-MICROSD-16GB-CARD#handsetDetailsHeader
It seemed the transfer rate was not that key on our devices, as class 6 was well above what the phone could manage.
It could all be nonsense and I end up getting another in a few weeks

I've read mixed reviews on the 32gb cards. I've heard people say that anything over 16gb isn't recognized by the hero. Don't quote me, just repeated what I heard and I don't remember if it was on XDA or someplace else where I read it, but I'd do a little research before buying one on whether or not it will work.
Having said that, the best microSD cards are probably Sandisk and Transcend. Your mileage may vary. I recommend NOT purchasing from overseas vendors...a lot of times you'll end up with a piece of junk. Amazon usually has pretty good deals, as does best buy, so I'd check there.
