Best 32GB microSDHC for the money?

[HSPAminus]

So I'm looking at dumping the music from my iPod and moving that to my Atrix and run VLC or some other media player. I feel silly walking around with the Atrix in one pocket and the iPod in another. I figure 32GB of microSD storage plus the 16 base memory makes the Atrix a viable alternative to having an iPod, so I wanna go for it. I've been looking around on Amazon, and I'm a little bit confused.

The one thing I do know is that I want a 32GB card. As far as the different classes go, what is really necessary? Are there any cards specifically that anyone has had good experiences with and doesn't cost a fortune?

I have a TOPRAM 32G class10. I love it! I notice a definite increase in performance searching through large stocks of images on both my Epic 4G and my Galaxy Tab. As a photographer, I use them both for business and bringing up images quickly is important to me. Also plays music and movies noticably quicker than the class 4 I had before.

Spent under $100 on it,

Buy.com - TOPRAM 32GB 32G microSD microSDHC SD SDHC Card Class 10 + R10w Reader

Seems to be the best capacity and speed for the money, reliable card, no issues with it.

Just for the info in case you don't know the class specs.

Speed Class is a minimum speed based on a worst case scenario test.
The current SDHC specification defines Class 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 as follows:

Class / Minimum Speed

2 2MB/s
4 4MB/s
6 6MB/s
8 8MB/s
10 10MB/s

1 megabyte (MB) = 1 million bytes

On the complete other end of the spectrum, I am using a class 4 card and it seems fast enough for me. I have some movies and music on it, and both play with no lag. I went class 4 because of the huge price difference.

Have you thought of using "Google Music" beta instead? Put your music in the "cloud" instead and save the SD card for other stuff.

Which card did you get, and how much was it?

I would, but I'm looking to get something to completely replace the iPod from my daily load, so I want something that will play my music even if I don't have a data connection wherever I am, like on an airplane.


Thanks for the awesome replies so far, everyone. I'll look into that TOPRAM card.

I only have have a 16gb class 4 card because it was about $25 and there was a huge jump to go to a higher class or 32gb at that time. This was probably about 8 months ago, and the brand is Kingston. I compared prices on Amazon and newegg.

You need to check the classes before you buy one
Since some classes aren't capable of handling HD Recording ,I could be wrong , but it doesn't hurt to be sure & 32GB card ain't exactly cheap !

You know Im considering doing the same when I get an Atrix , Retire my iPod Touch & use the phone for both , phone functions & Media playback & thats leads me to one question
Can the Atrix play the same type of MP4 videos that iPhone\iPod does ? or it have to be converted ? because Im not gonna convert 150 Music videos (again) so I can carry one gadget

For my Droid X and Nook Color I went and got the Transcend 32gb class 4.

I have used Transcend for awhile now with no problems...

I'm using a 16GB class 6 AData. It works great after I did a low level format on it.
