Side by Side Comparison of: SanDisk

On April 20th, 2011 I ordered SanDisk 32GB microSDHC Memory Card (Bulk Package). As I mentioned previously we were planning a trip overseas, I purchased this for additional photo storage for my phone. Back then a 32GB Micro SD card was a pretty huge capacity. This card served its purpose and I use it to this day. I've never had any failure or lost any data.Seller: 3rd Part MerchantCondition: NewPurchase price: $58.77 (Shipped)

I bought this to use in my android tablet and have had no issues. There is not much to say about it. It works for my purposes and if I needed to buy another one, I would not hesitate to buy this same exact one. It arrived in adequate packaging without damage. The price was very good. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone needing one without hesitation.

I have no complaints about this product. It may not be high speed but for the price it performs extremely well. It also came witH reader which according to some reviewers it did not so that was an added bonus.I have had no issues using this. It is as advertised. Anyone who has ever bought and used a memory card should know that if it's 32 MB that roughly 29 to 30 MB will be usable. That's the case with any size memory card you buy. A slight part is always unavailable.I have seen many reviews about mislabeled products but the product I received was legit. I never deal with the "other sellers" who may offer it at lower prices. Sometimes lower prices are not the best deal.

So long as this review remains at five stars, I'm satisfied.This card is in my Acer Iconia tablet Acer Iconia A1-830-1633 7.9-Inch Tablet (Silver). It was recognized just fine, and hasn't shown any issues.Of course, the price of this will keep going down as we shove more data storage into smaller spaces, so this could get outdated fast. But the brand itself seems to be doing fine, so feel free to check out a larger size, if that's what you need or what seems more reasonable, based on price.

I know there are not many Windows Phone users, and even fewer that are willing to (in some cases) void warranties to expand their device's storage space.I'm one of those customers though. The short version is this card functioned 100% fine in my Dell Venue Pro that came with an 8 GB card. If you're looking for a good 32 GB card for your Windows Phone, this may be the place to start. I can not guarantee it will be fine in your phone, but I do not see why it would not.I'm going to get more in depth, so if you do not want to know a bit of useless information, quit reading now. This is a good card, even for Windows Phone.Let's take a step back. If you don't know, Windows Phone basically pools all available memory into one space. Internal and external storage is treated in much the same way. So when you install an SD card, you can no longer get the SD card out and use it in a computer or another device.In addition, again, due to the way storage is handled, the SD cards that will function properly with Windows Phones is a bit of an unknown. The SD cards need very quick random access speed, not fast sequential speeds, which is why you can not use class ratings to determine a good card. As a matter of fact, Class 10 micro SD cards are tweaked in a way that increases sequential speed, but random speeds are reduced. This is great if you are someone that wants to transfer a lot of music or other media to a device very quickly, but not good if you want to quickly load a config file for an application you are opening. This is the same idea behind people wanting solid state drives (SSDs) in their computersAnyway, I digress. Windows Phones are very particular about which SD cards they accept due to the reasons I mentioned above. If you want a card that will perform well in a Windows Phone, this may be what you want.

I've been impressed with the Sandisk 32GB Class 2 microSDHC card so far. I bought it with bulk packaging, which means it came in a small plastic clam shell case slipped into a little plastic envelope. There were no included adapters.I'm using the card in my Android Nexus One cellphone. I've used a benchmark app on the phone to gauge performance of the card, and it is doing about 5MB/sec writes and 9MB/sec reads. This is with settings at 10MB test data size and 8KB write unit size. I saw similar write performance when the card was mounted on my PC via a USB 2.0 card adapter. These numbers indicate it's performing somewhat better than the minimum guaranteed for Class 4 cards, which is great. I'm coming from a 16GB Class 6 card and haven't noticed any performance hits, so far.

Data loaded easily however I won't get to exercise it with my Garmin for a couple weeks. Got a reader included which was a nice surprise. Only 4 stars because it arrived a few days late.

Works like an SD card usually works. Price was what attracted me. You can never have too many sd cards. With all devices people have today like: smart phones, cameras, I pads and tablets, GoPro and many others devices like laptops....I'd recommend buying back up sd cards just like this one. It works great!

I would use a different brand if you are going to use this with any samsung phone. Samsungs and sandisk have a known issue that can't be fixed and Sandisk knows this. On the forums, there is no workaround other than replacing it with a different brand.Samsungs randomly unmount the card and flaim there's no memory card in its slot, yet you can clearly see the contents when you insert it into a pc or mac

Works like it should. I just left a negative review for SanDisks 64gb microSD but this one worked flawlessly from the time it was unpacked and it is still going strong. I don't have any of the Techie Stats that the pro users like to give..suffice it to say it works, No hassles and is what I expect from SanDisk

I have a phone with terrible storage. 1gb of ram is what I am given to store pictures, movies, apps, and documents. To keep a long story short, I had about 10 apps on my phone, 200 pictures, and several downloaded documents on my phone. The storage was so bad that I couldn't receive text messages without deleting pictures of my favorite memories- that is, until yesterday when this techno gem came in the mail! My sd card came nicely sealed and packaged and arrive on time. I put it into my phone, moved the apps, pictures, and docs to my sd card and voila- I can text and call people without my phone threatening me to delete a few of my favorite pictures. I have since downloaded about 2 movies and I have a solid 5.5gb of storage left. The only con I have is that the card came with 7.3gb instead of 8 which is a bummer, but considering the price of this card- 7 gb is a STEAL!

The card I ordered was the 32GB card from seller McTechy. The shipment had a tracking code that didn't work, but I received my package on time. The card works thus far perfectly fine and appears to be a genuine SanDisk memory card, which arrived in a package slip instead of any form of retail packaging. Popping it into my phone, it worked right away and I use it for my music, I've had no issues as of yet with it. My only complaint is that it is a 32 GB card, right? Well, my phone as well as Windows read it to be a 29.89GB card. A 2GB difference from the written value, though to me this isn't a huge issue, I've yet to need more than 30GB of my music so I think I'm fine. Still, buyers take note that (and I know storebought cards can vary by a GB or more sometimes) SD Cards aren't always the value that they are labeled as.

Worked for 1 and a half year before becoming completely unreadable/unrecognizable in any device, I have tried everything to revive it, for that one year it worked rather reliably, although it wrote many many gigabytes per day, it was heavily used in an Dashboard Camera that was constantly running.

Works great, however it does come with bloatware, which I did not like. I didn't notice right away, excited to pop it into my tablet and use it. Later on I saw I had apps pop up from it. Make sure to clear the junk before you use it.Overall it functions fine, no other issues.

I bought this for my galaxy note4 and sometimes the pictures don't save to it. not too big of a deal but when you look for pictures all you see is black. be aware if you really need files or pictures because they might not save or can corrupt easily.

I've purchased several of these microsd cards to use in a couple mp3 players (all Sandisk products). I used this recent purchase for about a week when it suddenly went completely haywire and I lost all 20gb of audiobooks I had stored on the card... arrrgh. My story has a semi-happy ending, though. The people at Sandisk have awesome customer service -- a 20 minute chat session with one of their customer service reps had a replacement card being mailed to me at no charge. Yes, I still lost my audiobooks, and I was stupid enough to have deleted them off the computer, so have no backup of any of them. However, I am still mostly satisfied with my experience... and now know that, while this is an excellent memory expansion solution, I need to hang on to my backups until I've listened to them.

DOA. Not much else to say, although the story is somewhat amusing. After bothering the same technical support representative at Samsung three different times, I was starting to think that my Galaxy Player 4.2 was defective. None of my MP3's would play properly, and on the off chance they would, as soon as I added more songs to the card, it would dysfunction. This would also affect media files on the device itself. Shame on me for not thinking of it sooner. Removed the SD card entirely, popped the 2Gb card from my cell phone in, and joy.No packaging on it, although I guess that's why the description says, "bulk." Pretty disappointed that I dropped $17 down the drain, but sometimes you bite the bullet.The technology that goes into these cards is pretty solid, but you can't win every time when things come off an assembly line.

I checked this out and it says it has 29.71 total storage on it. Does look like it has a serial # on it but can't read that small. Not sure why someone would bother to fake a 29 GB as a 32GB but it works all the same for my tablet and for the price I can't complain. That saying all I do is audio books, very simple games and a bit of music. I am as far from a techie as you can get so I have NO idea about speeds and such but I do know you have to make sure that the device can handle such a big card. I wanted to use it for my camera (for photos) but it can't handle such a large card.

Bought this card for my Roku 3. Just arrived 30 minutes ago and I popped it in right away. After installing it I reconnected my HDMI cable and then my power cable. The Roku 3 booted up but never saw the SD card installed. I tried taking it out and using compressed air to clear the port before inserting it again. Still nothing. Considering this was purchased for the sole purpose of being used with my Roku 3, it stinks.

I bought this microsd card because I was expanding my storage on my Galaxy S5. However, after I put a lot of music files on it, it stopped working. I'm not sure how but for some reason, things could get moved onto the card but taking things off was not allowed. And recently I was able to save my files off of it but I now I can't put things back on. I tried to reformat it but it still won't work. Definitely be aware that this microsd card does not have a long life for your files.

For me, this did not work hardly at all. I don't know if it was just my phone/a mismatch in equipment, but it would work for a day or two, then anything stored on it would become unavailable on my phone, and I would need to power off, take the phone battery out, remove and reinsert this memory card, and then wait for my phone to reload everything. I purchased a samsung memory card, and have not had to touch it since. Use caution when buying this. I had higher hopes for a SanDisk Product

Ordered an 8GB card with standard packaging to make sure I got a retail (genuine) card. Received card in a zip lock baggie instead. If that's standard packaging, then I wonder if frustration-free packaging is a zip lock baggie that's not been zipped closed?!The card passed a single-pass test with Check Flash, so I'm going to put it to use. Hopefully it'll last longer than the 3 months other reviewers have gotten out of theirs.UPDATE: Did not last longer than 3 months. In fact, lasted 3 weeks. Now unable to use card. It reports as being 31MB in Windows, and I'm unable to access in any way (read, write, format). This card has been used for about 20-30 hours total, in 5-6 hour segments.I doubt this was indeed a genuine Sandisk card. Should have given it 1 star.

This was very badly packaged. The case which was holding the SD card arrived damaged. Fortunately, the card itself seems to still work good after test. It also appear to not be a fake, and a real SDHC card (tested with "h2testw_1.4" without error).Also, photos of the listing shows retail packaging, when what I received was just the card inside a plastic case, in a plastic bag. There was also a white "R" painted at the back of the card (may be R for refurbished ?). This didn't looked new at all in my opinion.

I received the card very quickly, and I was instantly satisfied! Great deal for a great product. But here we are a month later, and the problems start.Just tried to load a new app on the SD card, and it said that my SD was out of space, and to clear some space and then try again. It's only been a month. I know I haven't put THAT much stuff on here yet. Went to manage my SD card, and it showed I had 18gb of space. Ok, that's odd. Tried unmounting it and remounting it. Even just pulling the card out and trying again. Nothing. Still won't allow me to install new apps of move existing apps to the SD card. I would rule out the phone, as it happened right at 14gb of data, and it obviously still let me put 14 gb of data on there. I'll test it with my computer when I get home, but with all these bad reviews on here, it better end up working (or I better get one that works), or Amazon will catch hell from me.

Be VERY careful ordering this kind of card, especially when described as bulk packaging. As soon as you receive the card fill it at least above the 8gb point and preferably close to 32gb just to make sure it is not a counterfeit device. Ours were counterfeited and designed to read that there was 32gb capacity but they would not hold more than 8g! Beware! Virtually impossible to detect the difference by observing the packaging. Must actually load it with content.

Ya, after about 2 months, this card was unreadable with all of my devices. I did some research and discovered that this problem was common among this particular type/brand of microSD card. 95% of the time it doesn't even show up, and when it does it only does so for about 20 minutes, then it becomes unreadable or says that it is corrupt. Most of the music that I had on this card (the stuff I didn't have on my laptop as well) are lost now. And now my MP3 player is only usable when I have access to WiFi until I can get some money to get another.

I purchased one of these cards and thinking it was a normal SanDisk card didn't bother to try it out after it arrived. About 2 weeks later I put it in my Galaxy Tab and it couldn't read it. No big deal so I went to reformatt it. I tired to reformat the card 10+ times and nothing happened So I pulled out the card and when I did I burned my fingers on the card. I tried to reformat another SanDisk card that I had previously purchased not from Amazon with no problems. I have had over 25+ micro SD cards from SanDisk and this was my first one purchased through Amazon. Later after I read the reviews I found out and by comparing them to my other micro SD cards that these are imatations and not made my SanDisk.

I bought this card for my android smartphone. It installed great and worked just fine for about two months. All of a sudden, the phone could not read the card.Thinking this may be a fluke, I tried to reformat it (through the phone) and it would not format.Thinking maybe there was an issue with my phone, I then tried then to format the card via two different PC's, using two different readers. The disk was visible, but would still not format. I tried both conventional and disk manager methods... No luck.I contacted customer support and walked them through each method.This is where it gets good.... they told me that my card reader was broken or incompatible -- AND -- my phone was broken or incompatible -- AND -- my pc's were broken or incompatible ?????? (With these Odds I should start buying lotto tickets !! BTW all of this equipment is less than 6 months old and quite advanced)Then I tried all of the above with an equivalent Toshiba 32gb card and it worked just fine....I explained this to the agent..... I even sent screen shots .....did i get an RMA to exchange ???Nope ... just another recommendation to use a different card reader ..... arghhhhh!

I spent practically an entire day trying to transfer simple music and photo files from my computer to my cell phone. Each attempt resulted in some files not being transferred, and when they were transferred, the files were empty. The frustrating thing was that on each attempt, and there were at least a dozen, different files would not be transferred and different files would be empty. There was no consistency in the errors! As a test, I then transferred the same files to my internal phone storage and they transferred perfectly. I am a retired a computer software engineer and was completely frustrated with this project that should have been a simple operation. The SD card was a class 4 and it should have worked flawlessly in my cell phone.
