Micro SD cards, where?

Khannie · 12-12-2010 5:07pm

What 32g ones are people talking about?

Brian · 12-12-2010 7:41pm

I'd like 1 of the 16 GB please, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820161405

charlesh · 12-12-2010 8:57pm

i would like one 16 gig if you are ordering them? if you need payment in advance. I know u said you didnt - but after this amount of orders maybe you have changed your mind?
Anyway , let us know what your plan is.

emo72 · 12-12-2010 9:19pm

interested in a 32 gig one. but i cant find a post describing it.

Skidmcmarx · 13-12-2010 12:29am

I'll take one aswell please. 16gb. Thanks

Baz_ · 13-12-2010 5:22am

5 32gig cards listed here but after some short but careful consideration I have decided to change my order to 2 of the aforesaid 16 gig cards please.

Alan70 · 13-12-2010 9:27am

I will purchase 16 gig if I may thanks.

osnola ibax · 13-12-2010 10:39am

I would also be interested in 1 of the 16g cards if still possible

robbie_bel · 13-12-2010 3:03pm

I would be interested in a 32g card if your still taking orders. Can pay which ever way suits you best.

Thanks
Rob

kramxw · 14-12-2010 12:12pm

I will take one 16Gb card please; if you need to be paid up front due to the increasing numbers, just let me know.

Thanks,

Mark.

robbie_bel · 15-12-2010 2:18pm

Can anybody tell me if this purchase is going ahead? Just so I know if I have to buy a card for myself?

Thanks

Rob.

Reassessed my finances, I'm out.

robbie_bel · 16-12-2010 10:32am

im out too, seeing as there is no response from people.

johnny_adidas · 06-01-2011 4:35pm

im assuming this is dead but still looking for a best price on a 16GB CL6, memoryc.ie is €41

would it be worthwhile approaching an irish retailer for a boards deal??

Khannie · 06-01-2011 4:39pm

That's not a bad idea. I found a decent class 6 one on elara for around 30 squids if I remember correctly. Their bleedin' ridonculous delivery price for such a small package put me right off though.

dealextreme have a supposed class 6 (looks to be actually class 4) for around 25 delivered.

johnny_adidas · 06-01-2011 5:03pm

well only reason im suggesting irish is there shouldnt be any issues with customs or major delays with postage (dealxtreme)

shopformemory have been very quick in the past to deliver for me. surely given the amount of interest on this thread we could get a deal in return for 50 or 100 orders.
i dont kow how the other boards deals over on bargain alerts have worked but surely it wouldnt take much for them, they could have a discount code in the checkout process and apply the discount prior to processing the payment?
30 would be great but I think id be happy with a price around 35 or less if there were more orders esp if i knew i was gona receive it in the next couple of days

RedXIV · 06-01-2011 5:07pm

Once again, I'm interested in anything that will get me good quality cards

johnny_adidas · 06-01-2011 5:16pm

I will email retailers - shopformemory, memoryc and any others that people have had good experiences with - if it could help and point them towards the boards deals faq. Or should we just approach one retailer at a time in case 2 or 3 come back with offers and numbers get messy?

Just at a guess ill point out that there would be interest of at least 50.
Id rather keep it irish if they can do a good deal for us, less hassle and gives an irish company the business.

ps if someone wants to draft up something, feel free.
Id say a voucher (ala boards deals) would be a good way to go because it doesnt tie us to any particular type or size of card

ronanc15 · 06-01-2011 8:49pm

Ill dig out the ebay seller I bought mine off the other day. 16gb class 6 for about 35 delivered

P.s. it would be very optimistic to expect 50 people to actually pay up. Group buys have a habit of collapsing!

Is it actually class 6 though? I've seen ropey reports on ebay, even from sellers with decent feedback.

ronanc15 · 06-01-2011 9:40pm

I actually got the link on here somewhere from someone who had checked and it was class 6. Havent taken it out of the pack just yet so will let you know as soon as I do. Had a read of the sellers feedback for the particular item and all good reports!

Khannie · 07-01-2011 11:22am

Cheers. Yeah I was checking out that same guys feedback (I think it was the same guy anyway) and there was one negative which said that it was closer to class 2. That's what made me wary. I've been burned before on ebay on memory even from sellers with good feedback. I think it's basically just full of scheisters with the occasional proper seller in the middle somewhere where memory sticks are concerned.

griffdaddy · 07-01-2011 2:04pm

There's Transcend 16GB class 10's on mymemory.co.uk today for 18.99 sterling. Kicking myself cause I ordered a class 6 for the same price last week and it still hasn't arrived. I think the eventual euro price is about 25, which is decent, especially for a class 10.

Have you a link, can't see that deal on their site??

Khannie · 07-01-2011 2:50pm

Also can't see it.

griffdaddy · 07-01-2011 3:18pm

uuuhhh sorry guys, it's actually a regular SD card, not a micro. I have them on the brain lately. I also just discovered that the micro SD card i ordered is class 4, not 6. Sorry for getting your hopes up

johnny_adidas · 07-01-2011 3:18pm

its a standard size sdhc, disregard

Khannie · 09-01-2011 10:33am

Johnny: Did you email those shops? I'm just about to start back to work and want something for my shiny new tablet. If we're waiting to hear back I'll definitely hold off, otherwise I'll buy now.

johnny_adidas · 09-01-2011 11:52am

given the lack of interest in my suggestion i didnt proceed with contacting them, no point trying to organise a deal if we dont have the numbers.
was waiting on a link for the one from ebay you guys were discussing to be honest

Khannie · 09-01-2011 11:54am

Ah yeah, fair enough. I'm not going ebay myself. Just don't trust memory sellers on ebay tbh. Either going to get this one from dealextreme or this one from mymemory.

johnny_adidas · 09-01-2011 11:58am

thanks, think ill go with the mymemory option myself. Cheers

Khannie · 09-01-2011 12:53pm

Yeah, I think that's the better option too. Just bought mine now. Although it says class 4 in the description, I noticed that it says class 6 in the specification section. Might be a nice bonus.

I'll speed test it and put the results up here when it gets here.

Khannie · 14-01-2011 11:36pm

Well...I ran a speed test on it there....unimpressed to say the least....

How does that rate vs the standard card, bookings for few stag do's put mine on long finger for now so never got around to ordering yet

Khannie · 15-01-2011 1:22am

I'll run a test with the card it came with tomorrow and let you know.

Funkiwi75 · 15-01-2011 1:35am

IT Direct in Parliament st have 16GB class4 microSD for €33

johnny_adidas · 01-04-2011 10:16am

might be dragging this up a bit but rather than make a new thread thought it was relevant. Never did buy in the end but spotted a PNY class 10 16gb card on play today for €23 which would be perfect but they wont allow delivery to ireland (ridiculous i know).
Has anyone come across a similar price for a class 10?

they'll deliver games, books, dvds etc but not electronics (unless there is a way around it)

classes arent indicated for the 16gb cards though and you have to rely on the images being correct (ie image for 16gb sandisk is only class 2)

Looking for at least a class 6

An right. That's a bit gay.

Jackobyte · 01-04-2011 2:03pm

Maybe another bulk order but through play?

Will they ship to the north?

Luckycharm · 01-04-2011 2:48pm
