where do you buy?
[Desire Accessories] nerdo:
Couldn't find cheaper

If you are asking me it is Play.com ;)
[Desire Accessories] NineToTheSky:
Bear in mind that at Play.com they're taking pre-orders. As with everyone else (apart from SanDisk), delivery is due at the end of the month.
[Desire Accessories] miguelromerom:
ok, thanks
[Desire Accessories] dazdaz:
The picture of the 32GB is different on play.com to sandisk.co.uk

In fact there are 4 different 32GB MicroSD cards on play.com.

Would someone mind posting the exact link to the one that works with the HTC Desire ?

I just don't want to purchase the wrong one or I would never forgive myself ;-)
[Desire Accessories] quicksite:
WHat do you think of these ebay listings -- I am sure they are cheap knockoffs.. I have seen ebay remove about 15 other listings, so when there is smoke, there is usually fire... but.... THESE listings i have not seen removed. They show packaging as well as the microSD card. Long time to ship, but is this worth trying?

[Desire Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Er, I'd avoid that one I think, unless its a power seller with >98% positive feedback in which case I might take the risk if it meant saving a little money Vs purchasing direct from Sandisk.

I think ordering from Sandisk is the way to go right? No worries that you're getting a knockoff...

If you live outside the US/UK, and have no access to an online Sandisk store, then you can use Shipito to get your hands on one (its what I did).
[Desire Accessories] NineToTheSky:
Quite a lot of these cards have been sold on eBay from Hong Kong for between £15 - £40 (mostly £20 - £30) with free delivery. I can't believe they're genuine.

[Desire Accessories] quicksite:
No no, I don't believe they are genuine. I probably need to read the rules again about "posting sensitive material" to XDA. If they are an actual 32GB microSD card, they are a knock off. As someone use the phrase above, paying an "early adopter tax", this is what I hate. I would gladly buy from Sandisk if their price was reasonable. But it's not.

And so, my view in case like this is a toggle-switch: IF UNREASONABLE, and if knockoff available and works, I will buy knockoff. (THis one is priced at $28 USD)

But I trust XDA folks 100% and so if the view is this is probably not even going to be 32gb worth of storage, and is just a ripoff waiting to happen then I will forget about it. Thank you
[Desire Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Definitely not genuine.

When it comes to purchasing things on the net the old aphorism holds true - "If it looks to good to be true..."...
[Desire Accessories] DaddyCee:
Tagging this to an existing thread.....

Does it matter what Class of Micro SDHC Card you get? I have seen Class 2, 4 and 10 being bounded around.

I suppose the higher the Class the faster the read/write time?

It's OK I have worked this out now.
[Desire Accessories] Bl@ck:
usually no, i've a 16gb class 2 sd hc on my desire and load times on apps is fine, even the mp3 player loads pretty fast after a reboot and i've 6gb of mp3s.

Some people pointed out that the speed increase is not noticeable, so just get one and enjoy the extra space.
[Desire Accessories] Ramedge:
is the 32gb card a class 4 card? Will there be a class 6 option?
[Desire Accessories] NineToTheSky:
The SanDisk is class 2.
[Desire Accessories] NZtechfreak:
I'm sure later Sandisk will release higher-class cards.

They are slower when you load things from the computer, but for many (or at least for me at any rate) the only time when you load a lot of information on the card at one time is copying your music over.

In terms of in-phone use, its no problem here. If we were recording, or decoding, 720P material then it could be an issue in the phone, but obviously thats not applicable in the Desire (for now at any rate).
[Desire Accessories] Ethania:
I'd rather go for a class 10 16Gb card than a worthless class 2 32Gb.

Its all about speed.
[Desire Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Thats fine if you can live with a 16GB card, but I was beyond tired of it.

I now have my entire ~21GB music collection on there, with plenty of room for movies/apps etc to play with. Since the only time when Class 2 is particularly worse than higher classes for me was the initial load, it was well worth it...
[Desire Accessories] Ethania:
That is pretty nice tough.

Wonder how a class 2 card will effect programs runnig from the SD card.

Has anyone tried installing a GPS program like Sygic or CoPilot to a SD-card (not just the maps) and compared it to running it from the phones internal memory?
[Desire Accessories] huleboeren:
Its

a

phone

It wont be about speed for many years to come
[Desire Accessories] stingerpl:
Do you have any benchmarks that would show the difference between class 2 and 10 on a phone ?

I have a 16gb class 2 card and can't say I see any difference comparing to my friends class 6.
[Desire Accessories] NZtechfreak:
Think about it, how many uses in the phone, require the phone to be drawing information from the phone at rates of >4MB a second? Any?
[Desire Accessories] poldie:
Bear in mind that the class of card is related purely to the (minimum) write speed, not read speeds. So unless you are going to record a lot of video/audio then you probably don't really care. I'm not aware of any cards being too slow to play back audio/video. So when I get Android 2.2/apps2sd I'm going to spend my money on size, rather than speed - I'll completely ignore the class.
[Desire Accessories] v6ttgnx:
I bought this exact card on ebay for $18.88 with free ship. It indeed is 32GB AND Class 6. I haven't really tested the class 6, but it is 31.2GB after formatting.

EDIT. It seems to be writing at 3.80-3.90 MB/s
[Desire Accessories] quicksite:
wow, actually 32gigs... unbelievable... so annoying because sandisk isn;t even shipping yet.. well hell, then i'm getting 2 of these.

i am not up on the class 6 -- i assume an i/o read/write sped. so is the speed you cite class 6. All i realy care about is that it is as good as whatever my 16gig card is -- which is a sandisk card...

Thanks so much for posting!
[Desire Accessories] foxmeister:
That is very poor - below even class 4 minimums. My Sandisk 16gb Class 2 achieves a sustained write speed of 7.5MB/s.

HOWEVER.....

If you tested in the phone, I'd suggest that you should retest from a PC with a MicroSD->SD adaptor, to rule out anything else accessing the card whilst you test.

Regards,

Dave

32GB TF Memory Card 32G Micro SD SDHC

$35 Aud i won one for on Ebay :) plenty more available.
[Desire Accessories] v6ttgnx:
On the comp with the adapter, it would flux anywhere from 3.80-5.70ish MB/s. BUT, that was with HEAVY transferring.

I have not tested the card on the phone, it seems I have some files on the card from my HD2 phone that are blocking my EVO's access to the card, but I will surely solve this problem. It did read putting on a few folders, maybe 200MB of stuff. The SD & Phone storage setting showed loss of the memory, it also showed 31.2GB of space left when I inserted the card with nothing on it.
[Desire Accessories] kmetek:
hehe too expensive :D

i would be very carefull :p there has been reports of fakes :D
[Desire Accessories] nitrox1:
I bought the exact same card.

Did the H2testW check, it took me 4-5 Hrs to do it.

And it shows it's nearly a completely corrupt 32Gb card. Now I have to wait and see what the seller says from ebay.uk, they told me it was damaged in the post.

The media is likely to be defective.

Writing speed: 3.63 MByte/s

Reading speed: 7.39 MByte/s

H2testw v1.4

How very rude.......

I did it twice too, just to check.

But it means it's a 2GB done to look like a 32GB card, even formats like a normal card (won't partition with .ext3 though), but just doesn't hold the data, as there is no room for it.

Hey i just bought one too. I have the same "stupittt" question as lots of people.... Since i have "apps2sd" -- and theye are on my current 16g microsdcard, I would like to ask your migration strategy please.

Is it best to uninstall the apps that are in the existing SD card?

There is all sorts of other data that android puts onot the SD card...

---- or ---- can I copy the entire contents of my 16g card onto my new 32g card and simply start using the phone? Or does that break all sorts of file linkages?

Sorry -- this is noob-style question and my instinct says "UNINSTALL" and then reinstall fresh onot new card... but I want to find out with some kind of technical definitiveness -- if anyone knows. Thank you!

About the Classes

I was wondering what would be the hardware limit until it wouldn't make no difference whether you had Class 10 or Class 20?

My Desire came with 4GB class 4 card, which worked pretty fine with apps installed to the card. Then I switched to 8GB class 6 card and the speed difference was clear. That card got full pretty fast so I ordered 16GB at class 4 only to find out it was slower than the 4GB card. Apps loaded lazily and the initial preparing SD card took forever. And some widgets (even those that was installed on the phone) took a long time to show up (right after the SD prepare was done).

So now I'm ready to buy a faster card, but how fast makes any sense?

So the question is, would there be any difference between Class 6 and 10 (or above)
[Desire Accessories] kl_arnet:
It must be pain in the *** to have cheap 16 or 32GB Class 2/4 MicroSD card and find out you wasted money. I have stock 4GB Class2 Samsung card and I can't wait for 8 or 16 GB Class 10 Sandisk :D ...but it's case of money I can't afford yet.

Especially that DATA2SD system (SD Ext partition mounted as /DATA) gives good results with fast MicroSD cards.

STEP FIVE - Partitioning Your Sd Card With Gparted
[Desire Accessories] sventasis:
Ye right. I tried a Scandisk 32GB - 10 and thanks... but no thanks. It was driving my HTC Desire nuts and when i tried to change something on it it broke. So now i have an old fashion 8GB - 4 working fine. And the root doesn't allow more so 8Gb it is and will be.
[Desire Accessories] petar17:
Guys,

I've managed to partition my 32gb sd card with gparted, but I'm still not able to install ROM that requires sd-ext, neither to restore some older ROMs that also requires sd-ext... If I put a ROM on partitioned 32gb sd card and try to install it, it tells some error (E:Can't open /sdcar/name of the ROM (bad)), if I try to restore some older ROM it tells some error about not being able to mount sd-ext (E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk... (file exists), Error mounting /sd-ext/! Skiping format...) or something...

Maybe it has something to do with partitioning, don't know... When I boot gparted from cd, and finish partitioning, it tells me that partitioning went well, but there's a triangle icon a little left by the partition I made... Don't know if that's a problem with the card or...

Some advice would be appreciated...

Thanks...
[Desire Accessories] Androidmarketuser:
I don't think that this has something to do with your 32 gb sd card. ..

I had a problem with making partitions too. It said that my sd-ext partition couldn't be mounted. I had tried an other program but maybe it is the same problem...

At the end I just used my clockworkmod recovery to partition the sd
[Desire Accessories] thesavagedonkey:
did you make sure you had the FAT32 Partition first and the EXT3 or EXT4 second. that Is usually the mistake that catches people out.
[Desire Accessories] petar17:
Ofcourse...

I made a main partition (fat32), and ext partition (ext4)... But there was a triangle icon, like I said, but gparted tells that everything went ok... And now on Win I can see that the main partition (fat32) is there minus ext in MB... So nothing seems to be wrong... But when I put it in my Desire, there goes the problem...

Before entering recovery, it suppose to load something or... It used to load with my older card, but with 32gb does not... You know what I mean..?
