SanDisk 32GB microSDHC Memory Card (Bulk Package)

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.

As of December 2010, SanDisk has updated the Class on SDSDQ-032G from Class 2 to Class 4.

However, SanDisk is removing any mention of “Class” on non-ULTRA non-EXTREME card retail packaging in order to have the flexibility to package whichever class card the SanDisk factory sees fit. Unfortunately, SanDisk does not believe the average consumer cares about what Class designation is on the memory card, though many consumers do care.

Unfortunately, since SanDisk uses the same P/N and UPC code, there is no way to tell whether Class 2 or Class 4 will ship inside the package. This is compounded by not all vendors and fulfillment centers use FIFO inventory shipping standards and old inventory can persist for a very long time.

Customers seeking further information about this change may contact SanDisk customer service at 1-866-SANDISK.

I bought this to put in my new Samsung Focus Windows Phone. This card has not been certified by Microsoft to work with the operating system, but I have had no problems after a week. I didn’t use the card in any other way before having the phone format it. The card performs well and I am sure that is would work admirably in a more tradition sense. And one more thing, the price was excellent for a 32GB card.

I’m no expert on data transfer rates, but in my new Droid X, this card has been great. Put all my music and movies on there, lickity-split, and has been chugging along with no problem. It might only be “Class 2,” but seems superb to me.

I purchased this in order to give my HTC Incredible phone the same storage space as my iPod touch. This microSDHC card is perfect for that, and has given no issues thus far. Highly recommended for Android phone users (check to make sure your phone accepts microSDHC cards)

Got this today and immediately installed it in my htc EVO phone.

Works great. Sees all 32GB.

I powered the phone down, carefully extracted the installed 8GB card, copied the contents from that card to this 32GB card, and installed the 32GB card and shazzam, it works.

Enough said.
