I want to upgrade my stock 8gig sdcard to 16 or 32 gig. My question is that what do i do with all the files and folders in the old one. I am sure i would have to transfer them to the new sdcard.
just transfer over, I upgraded to a wintec 16gb class 10
I'm waiting for Black Friday. I saw an ad for Class 10 32GB MicroSDs for $29.99, but I can't remember where I saw it! Grr...

Either it was an SD card (not micro) or the class is wrong. I don't think anyone has Class 10 32GB MicroSD cards yet. Fastest I've seen is Class 4.

Oh yeah, the wintec. It's OOS unfortunately. I'm gonna hold out for a deal on a class 4 32GB, personally!
Thanks for the reply guys. I am pobally going to look on newegg. What are some good brands for sdcards. I guess u call it micro-sdcard for this phone.
I actually got the Wintec at FRY's for the same price as newegg
Hello. So I'm looking to bump up my 8GB card in my Evo to a 16/32 GB micro sd card. I looked around on the forums and the threads I found were dated. Any suggestions as to where and at a good price? Also I live in the US. The 8GB just isn't cutting it anymore for my rooting needs.
Thanks.
I can tell you which one not to buy:

lasted all of like 7 months before it took a shat
lol
Thanks. Did you buy one from someone else? I don't gave any experience dealing with memory cards.

I found a 16 on sale at Radio Shack for 34.99. Yes you can find one cheaper online but RS is safe and I saw what I was buying before I paid for it.
You have been EVOfied.
Newegg.com and search for patriot class 10 and pick the 16 or 32
I bought a san disk 16g class 4 for $25 shipped thru amazon.com. very happy as my stock card was an 8g cls 4 san disk.
How'd you get a class 4 as stock? Mine wasn't as polite, was a class 2... (definitely need to upgrade that eventually, nandroids are wiping out what little space I have)
This was $35 a week or two ago. I think it's still $35 at amazon.

Great value compared to the 32gb.
I searched google and got the Lexar 32Gig class 10 for $88,
Works great!!!
That's a good price, who from?
If you have a micro center near you then you can pick up their store brand that 16gb for 25. It's labeled class 2 but all 4 of the cards I bought do 6 write and 13 read.

I got those too, but I only get 4 write and 11 read. Still great store branded cards.
whats up everyone. I just updated my card to a patriot 32g class 10 ($90) and these are the results i got read-18mb/write-11mb
I just purchased a Kingmax 16gb class 10 from Amazon for $35 and it seems to work well with 18mb read and 11mb writes.

I got the same card also, but I questioned the performance of mine. Its testing the same as my 16gb class2 no matter which read-ahead value I set.
What kind of speeds are you seeing with yours? I wonder if I should RMA mine.
Linky for the Kingmax 16gb class 10 card I have, but the price is now $49. Either it changed or I remembered it wrong.

Please post which you end up going with and how you like it. I am also going to be looking for a new card for my phone in the next month or so and am interested in which you choose.
Anybody got any links to cheap but pretty good 32GB microsd cards?

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.
http://1saleaday.com/
1 sale a day, who is associated with bensoutlet.com has a supposed class 4 16 gb sandisc micro sd card for 2.99
even if the speeds arent great, as long as the storage size is right, this is a helluva deal. ive bought many of these 1 sale a day items such as dvrs and ram and have never been burned by them. like i said, its bens outlet. they are pretty reputable.
Yeah they have an Ebay account also. I buy from them all the time

Hope it doesn't take 4 months.
I was but didn't want to wait that long so I caved and got the 32GB version.
I didn't want to wait, so I got a 32GB and a 64GB sd card.
Does it still have the 1.97gb of system storage like the GS2/Note?
I'm going to pick up the 32gb version in a couple of weeks and I already have a 64gb sd card in my gs2 filled with over 20 gigs of music plus pics etc.. the thing is for the gs2 it had to be formatted as fat so you lost the speed of the exfat file system now the gs3 supports it which is nice but I'm not looking forward to copying everything off the card reformatting it as exfat then copying it all back over. lol
I caved and got the 32gb. But pre-ordered a class 10 SanDisk Ultra 64gb micro SD. That should do me fine tbh. £45 isn't that much either to be fair.
