Challenge: 16gb MicroSD Card

Jul 14, 2010 5:29 PM

I'm looking for a good deal on a 16gb microsd card for my sansa fuze (a PMP). If anyone sees one, please post it and/or please let me know personally.

Further, if anyone has strong opinions on what speed class of card would be most helpful for this application (and why), or what company's cards to buy (or not buy), I'd appreciate those too. Thanks!

Amazon has the following

http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-microSDHC-Memory-SDSDQ-016G-Packaging/dp/B001L1H0SC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1279132807&sr=8-1

This is a class 2. Everyone seems to agree that class 2 is more than sufficient for music. I use class 2 microSDHC in my Sansa and it is great.

class 2 are kinda slow, check craigslist i got a class 6 16gig micro sd for $25 off some guy just in time for my evo 4g :)

@crycis805: I'd be really worried about that one. I've seen lots of reports of conterfeit cards that show 16GB, but when you try to write to them they accept one or two (or less) Gig and then they are full. $25 for a class 6 16GB seems waaay too good to be true. I'm not the only one saying that class two is fine for playing music.

always be wary when buying stuff off craigs list, this time it worked in my favor and im loving my memory card. it has about 14.9 gigs after format but that will do fine for now.

PS it had a price tag on it of 89.99 so im assuming hopefully he bought it at an employee discount or sadly it could have been stolen. you never know with CL.

@meyerk0: Is class 2 sufficient for video playback as well?

Wait a couple of days, check eBay and CL. Verizon's Droid X is coming out - the Droid X comes with a 16gb micro SD card. Verizon will also be promoing a 32 gb micro SD card @ $100, exclusively for those who buy a Droid X ($150 for the rest of us). My bet is that you will see quite a few 16gb cards for sale soon.

@dcalotta: Interesting prediction. For some of the reasons cited above, I'm hesitant to buy something like this on eBay and certainly from craigslist (where you don't even have seller ratings, for pete's sake!). Nevertheless, I'm not in a major rush here, so I'm interested in seeing if your prediction proves true, but I'll hope people can post more "mainstream" deals on those microsd cards here on Deals.

@gwintner: I checked with my expert (son) and he said that class 2 should be fine for video as well. I've seen that opinion in other places, but I didn't have time to search for it today. My employers expected me to do some work today.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
