Lexar has good ones but they are $100 but are class 10.
I found a class 10 for 75, think uma try it out on my phone and if its good um getting one for the Xoom. Hopefully we get sd card support soon.

A friend of mine just got one off eBay and it was actually a 2gb with a 3 stamped on it. The card read as a 32 then only held 2. The seller played dumb and my friend got a refund less shipping and handling.

Wow, at least he got a refund. So they are stamping 3's on 2 gb cards and calling them 32? What's the point of that when there's a huge difference in storage? Most people get 32 cards because they need the space. Ill be testing mines as soon as it gets here.

Because people will buy them. I recommand only getting from a known retailer. There are tons of fakes on eBay.

I can attest to this. I stupidly did the same thing, fully aware that scamming was going on but thought I might get lucky. Anyway, I managed to get a full refund including postage but it'll be the last time I buy a card from an unknown seller.

Why don't you wait until the SD card slot is enabled on the Xoom before buying it since the price will probably go down by then.
I recently got a 16GB Class 6 from Ebay for my phone and it turned out it was corrupt and then when I looked at the Kingston site, they didn't manufacture any class 6 cards, only 4 and 10...
from memory when reading around the site I've seen recommendations for SanDisk/ADATA cards...
any more recommendations on good manufacturers?
The only time I got screwed was when I bought a 2GB SD card on eBay but it turned out to be only 1GB. They even fake the labels so from now on it's only amazon or NewEgg for me! I have ADATA, SanDisk, and Transcend microSD cards and they work just fine with the Nook Color.
Through my channels the only decent 32 GB cards I found were through Lexar, class 10. I should receive a pair of them today, they were $97 via CDW.
There were other 32 gig cards, but class 2/4 and nearly the same price.
New Lexar card is working in my EVO, loaded it up with all the data off of the previous 16 GB card I had before. Looking forward to using the SD card slot in the Xoom as soon as it is enabled.

Lexar? I'll look into that, I have a good one now from Memorette. It's been awesome this past week.
Why don't we use sandisk since all manufacturers seem to supply our phones with sandisk card. I mean, it's better than risking and waiting. The they're roughly the same price anyways

i only use Sandisk. Lexar is not a brand i would use personally.
i plan to get it direct from verizon with my 25% discount. they are more expensive at VZW but they are guaranteed the real deal and no issues. plus verizon have local stores so i can get support locally should anything go wrong.

Check Craigslist in your area - friend of mine was able to pick one up for $75 recently.
I'm an Audio Visual Technician and always have to purchase SD cards for clients when doing digital recording...A while ago I had purchase 3 Sandisk 32GB Micro SDs for cost price ($85 w/free shipping) along with 3 Sandisk CF 16GB Extreme IVs for my Canon 5D Mark2 at $150 a piece...
never had any problems with any Sandisk products so I tend to stick to them...but it always comes down to personal preference in the end...that's why we all got the XOOM instead of the [email protected]

Why not? I have personally used Sandisk, Kingston, Lexar, and I'm sure a few other major brands, and have not noticed a difference between them during use.
I have found them to be equally reliable, assuming you are purchasing them from a reputable supplier.
having some issues with my sd card ..its a king stone 16gb(bought it at amazon.com its real) class 10 when trying to record in HD camera fails if i switch to internal memory camera works fine
Im using a 32gb sandisk class 4 I bought from ebay for 45. Ive got it filled with 29gb of mixed media.
Im pretty sure you know this but even though you bought it from amazon.com doesnt mean it came from amazon. Most of there items come from outsider merchants that are just like ebay sellers. Ive bought bogus items or the same cheap china knockoff items just like ebay. At one point amazon was selling those fake psn cards.
Plus Ive never personally heard of the card your using. I know big companies like sandisk sell there bad cards to others and they rebrand and sell at a cheap price.
had to edit, Im guessing you meant kingston which is a great brand of sd cards. But still could be going faulty. Maybe try a reformat of your sd and see if that solves any problems.
Using a Lexar 32GB class 10 and it just rocks. Really fast card. Google it, think there even was some tests put up here in the xda forums.

I'm still using the Sandisk 16GB class 2 that HTC kindly provided with my HD2. Have never had a problem with it, and it's worked in several scenarios that other cards have failed me in. Only use it for music and a few backup files, so no real need for faster writes et cetera.

The NC can support 32G uSD, majority of people uses 16GB or 8GB Sandisk, class 2 or 4.
Some reported Sandisk cards from ebay are counterfeit.

The other two are test installs, one for miui and the other for cm7, but.
I have one 8 gb that is my stock 1.2 nook ereader on it.

According to other members, Sandisk class 2 is one of the best for NOOK, 4GB seems to be low (the ROM itself - /system - doesn't take that much) for storage but you actually have at least 1GB on eMMC or potential 5GB (if v1.1 or re-partition)
uSD = µ for microSD
Extensive testing, many MicroSD purchases later, and near a dozen SanDisk MicroSD cards says that this link:

Will get you the best cards I and at least one other member here have been able to find.
I've put a lot of work/research into this running from the MicroSD card issue, see my sig for the two threads you should read to understand it.
The 16 Gig SanDisk cards i've gotten from the link I just posted have tested to the best benchmarks i've run so far - and I very thoroughly benchmark my cards.

Sweet! Thank you, mine is already on it's way.
I know you'll like it - it's great to be able to take the guesswork out of finding something that works so well.
These cards were originally found by user busyworked, and he put quite a bit of research into tracking down model numbers to locate these specific cards.
The original post is Here.
One of the things that makes this community so fantastically great, is the amount of work that people put into this stuff on their spare time. By keeping the record straight for who found (or did) what, we can keep building on that knowledge without crossing the same ground. It's also great to make sure the right people get credit for what they've done.
I'd hate to take credit for anothers discovery, just want to make sure others know how much effort he put into finding that gem of a card. I didn't have enough time earlier to link the post, but the shopping link was a shortcut on my desktop and quick to call up.

I got this card but it came "oem" No packaging and couldn't tell if it was new. It wasn't described as oem in packaging from Etech, very annoyed by this.
Keep your fingers crossed that it isn't a counterfeit.
Yeah, I hope it works when mine arrives too.
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
I have one of these, it outperforms every other card i've been able to get my hands on.
Forget what the packaging was like when it came in, but shipping was quick.
It's marked in the same fashion as another SanDisk (8 gig class 4) card I bought at Radio Shack.
My 8 gb sandisk from etech was in new retail packaging.
My 16 gb sandisk from etech was OEM (no package, no nothing for that matter).
The 16 gb sandisk seems to work just fine, I've had it for about a week and a half on my nook color as it's primary sd card with emmc with cm7.
After thinking about it more deeply, my 16gig card came in just the small plastic case with a full sized sdcard adapter, no original packaging.
I run my OS from the card, not emmc, and it is fantastically better then other microsd cards i've used.
It doesn't bother me that it wasn't advertised about the packaging, but I can certainly see how some(probably most) people would be ticked about it. I concede without question the legitimacy of the argument.
I defray the idea that the card may have been previously used by the amount of business the company does. I think they pump more volume out then they could keep track of an 'employee loaner program' or whatever.
At least this thread has borne out this fact, so we can say buyer beware of the packaging issue.
That said, it's still the best MicroSD card we know of - unless some of the people researching the "operating system from MicroSD" situation have some hidden gem they aren't talking about.
(I sincerely doubt this, it's like the complete opposite of the spirit of the place we are in...tantamount to committing sacriledge in a church or something)
Sorry, I didn't think to mention this.
Both 16gig cards I ordered from there came in OEM packaging, didn't seem like a big deal to me at the time.
I never considered any of the thoughts surrounding that revelation, or I would have made it known up front.
My apologies.
(still a rockin' card though)
I'm happy with mine. Can't beat the $17 Amazon/etech charged. Aside from the shipping envelope it came in, packaging looks just like I'd see it on the shelf at walmart...
Works great too!

I bought this one to use it in the NC. Very fast, comes with adapter.
Free shipping. The store itself is very good, respectable. I have bought laptop from them before.
I get all my electronics online, almost always from Amazon.
The size sd card you should get depends on what you want to keep in your nook.I don't store music our videos on mine so 8gb us plenty for me.

Didn't read your warning soon enough and bought the sandisk 64gb class 10 version, which is slower than the class 4 in term of dealing with small files, and to be honest large files doesn't transfer at 10mb/sec either. Too much of a hassle to return it, but since it's Amazon I'm sure they would take it back.

The link posted is on Adorama a Photography company and I have had only success with faster transfers using class10 sd cards, my file tranfers usually run 10-13mbs on a samsung 32gb class 10, to claim its slower then a class4 is highly debatable
Thanks for sharing ozzmanj1 , with that sale price im buying one !
it was fast with sequential write but random write is more debatable. and most likely Samsung make faster flash memory.

Questions like these will just invoke peoples opinions and everybody has one. Nobody will be able to tell you what is "best". They all work good and the same. Samsung make cards just fine. So does PNY, Lexar, Kingston,Transcend,etc. Me personally, I stay with the major brands. You should be fine if you do so.Sounds like you just might have a bad card.Take it back and exchange it for something else.

I am a fan of Sandisk cards. Used a 64GB micro in this phone and then moved onto a PNY card which is what currently is in my Note now. There is another thread somewhere in here, maybe Accessories, that has a great deal on MicroSD cards from Best Buy and Amazon. I would start to look this week at getting a card cause you probably can get one for a steal being that this is Black Thursday/Friday.

Basically, I'm trying to decide between a Samsung 64gb Pro sdxc class 10 or a Sandisk Extreme sdxc class 10, which is like $25 more. Am I wasting my money going the more expensive route? Will my phone even show the difference?
I was having problems with my 16 and 32G samsung cards in my note 2, when i got my note 3 i went with a 64G sandisk (had an amazon gift card to use up) and have nothing but good things to say. I tried my 32G samsung in the note 3 as well and it was hit or miss kinda like your describing
It's hit or miss. My 32 gb sandisk class 10 just stopped working last night, lost everything on the card. Im probably going with a samsung card next. There are many reports of samsung devices ruining memory cards, especially sandisk brand.

I went ahead and bought the SanDisk extreme. Just had it for a couple hours and my phone seems to be running hot. I'll keep you guys updated.
I have a Sandisk 64gb card. It did crap out on me but they replaced it and so far so good. I've never had a problem with Micro Center cards but as of right now the biggest they have is 32gb. That's my backup in case my 64gb Sandisk craps out again.
