    Default Best Deal on a Micro SD Card

    Hey everyone... Just wondering if anyone has found any good deals on MicroSD cards???

    I'm looking for 16 or 32... wouldn't mind it being faster than the one that came in my EVO...

    Let me know if you hear anything....

    Many of the "deals" on flash cards are not legit. There is a huge market for counterfeit cards and there are many horror stories from people that thought they were getting a good deal but wound up with less than they paid for.

    Buyer beware...

    bought a 16GB microSD from Amazon- $29 (san disk, i think)
    got it. couldn't be read by my phone. multiple formats (in phone, in computer)- couldn't get it to work.
    bought 16GB from Amazon for $49, and it works perfectly (dane elec, i think)


    two brands could be switched. pretty sure whatever brand the $29 card had actually gotten horrible reviews from everyone online--i just hadn't bothered to check before i purchased.

    Class 0 - These cards do not specify performance, which includes all legacy cards prior to class specifications.
    Class 2 - Minimum of 2 MB/s performance. Lowest speed for SDHC cards.
    Class 4 - Minimum of 4 MB/s performance.
    Class 6 - Minimum of 6 MB/s performance.
    Class 10 - Minimum of 10 MB/s performance.

    It is class 2, and it peaks out at just over 4MB/second on write and about 7 MB/second on my evo.

    in certain instances yes. for example, if you're running Cyanogen with snap 7.6 kernel with turbe enabled you will definitely notice a difference. I've read (and I can't remember where) that a class 6 card is actually faster than the built in memory the EVO has. I know it's hard to believe, and I wish I could find the link, but that's what I remember.

    Also if you do a lot of media movement on your phone (think movies) the faster transfer speed will save you tons of time. I'm running a transcend class 6 card and it flies.

    are you sure they're just not using a picture of a class 4 card?
