Accessories Sandisk 32gb microsd for $62.99

looks kinda shady

It could be but I buy from Buy.com a lot so I'm pretty confident. It already shipped so I'll post results next week. I have like 500mb left on my 16gb card so transferring all that data to the new card would show if it's a good card or not.

If you're more comfy with Amazon you can buy this one which is also made by Dane Electric but rebranded under duracell for $66.65

I bought the retail packaged Sandisk 32gb for under $80 shipped from Amazon. At $60, this card would be a lot more attractive, but I'm willing to pay a $20 premium to adopt a 32gb card early, and not have any concerns about its authenticity.

16gb is definitely where the deals are, especially if you want a faster class, but the 32gb Sandisk is performing above the standards for class 2 in my tests.

So I got my card today and I find something strange about it... it has class 4 stamped right on it. Does anyone know what I can use to test the transfer speed of this thing?


Got mine today, too and it is a Sandisk, 32gb, CLASS 4 :D Says so right on the tiny card.

I would also like to know if/how we test it. My friend bought a different brand 32gb class4 and he cant tell any difference at all. Not in phone use anyway. Maybe in transfer data, but I would expect that since there will be more data :p

What are you talking about authenticity? Did you see my first post? I purchased the card directly from Sandisk as part of their Thanksgiving promotion.

So far so good. I haven't had any read or write issues so it's fine. I can't seem to find any information online about it though, so I'm thinking these went on sale because they were mislabeled lol?

Where'd that come from, ebay perchance?

Have you tested the speed? I don't think sandisk has a class 4... at least they don't
on their web site.

Try using sd card speed tester and report back...

I, too, purch'd the sandisk 32 direct from sandisk. waiting on the shipment. Sure would be a nice surprise to see a sandisk class 4 show up!

Heres the QR for sd speed test:
