Hey Guys

Dunno if this has been posted before but was having a look on Amazon and saw this and taught it was a pretty good price.

The reviews seem positive enough also.

Does this ship to Ireland? Good price for it if they do

Although, a couple of the reviews are doutbibng if it really is class 10,

Great job for your mobile phone, I got one last year for twice the price, the extra speed of class 10 cards is great if you use yours a lot for pics and video and transfer to PC for editing or uploading online.

apope8

Yea there doesn't seem to be any problem shipping to Ireland.

I'd say it just barely makes the class ten for that price.

vibe666

still, most phones would ship with a class 4 card (4MB/s for Class 4 v's 10MB/s for the Class 10), so you'll definitely notice the speed difference if you use it a lot.

£29 is a great price!
I was gonna buy the Lexar class 10 one for ~£38

I hope it's still there come payday on Friday

For the extra £9 id go with the Lexar.
I dont see the point in buying a cheap brand when it comes to Data storage.

You might be right!
To be honest, before the £29 one came along, I would have said the same thing about the Lexar one, as it was the cheapest the last time I checked.

Either way, it's certainly a bargain :pac:

But Lexar is a very well known brand for SD cards...

vibe666

the only thing i'd say for sure about SD cards is don't buy them off anyone who you can't be sure is reliable.

i got a top end 'genuine' sandisk one off a trusted platinum ebay seller about 2 years back and it turned out to be a fake.

i contacted ebay and they were only interested in me 'resolving' the issue with the seller who maintained it must have been a one off error somewhere from his supplier and offered me a refund and ebay had no further interest in persuing it so there wasn't much i could do about it other than get the refund.

ever since then i've always gone to known good suppliers and tested each card as soon as i've got it for speed and capacity.

I had no idea, but the one that's ~£38 on amazon, is $150 on there own website!
Surely that is a bit fishy!

I've had a bit of luck with buying memory on ebay in the past, be it RAM, microSD or flash drives, but I've just grown very wary of ebay as a whole when it comes to memory and tend to avoid it!

Not at all!!!!! Manufacturers of products will usually sell their products at the RRP throughout the entire product cycle. Amazon will purcahse (lets say 100,000 items) in bulk and therefore can sell at a hugely discounted price.

Have you never seen this done before. Its done EVERYWHERE.

I bought the lexar card before christmas (Im selling it now on adverts because i got an iPhone) and it has worked flawlessly. THe transfer speeds are fantastic and the USB stick is made from high quality plastic (Not the usual cheap muck that most chinese built usb stick are made from.)

Plus. Its Amazon, they are a Fortune 500 Company so they are hardly going to scam you.

Skerries

it has a speed report from ATTO which is very reliable

Oh I am well aware of the process of bulk buying to get a cheaper single unit price, but I just thought that the product being sold at about 1/3 of its original RRP was one of those 'too good to be true' situations!!

I see you have bought a Lexar one previously, and you're happy to vouch for it. I may still buy that one, as it was my first choce, but as Skerries pointed out, the benchmark results for the cheaper one are just as favourable.

I'll decide once I get paid

It has around 90 positive reviews on amazon.

Never let one bad story influence you, every product has failures, and Amazon are great with returns.

If you guy from ebay, you take your chances.. just be savvy, check the seller properly, etc.

You're not buying from Amazon though. You are buying from Kompbay.
You are only buying through Amazon in the same way you buy things through eBay.

The item you buy must be "Sold by Amazon.co.uk" in order for you to avail of their fantastic customer services and returns. Otherwise you deal with the retailer (In this case Kompbay)

I really need a 32gb micro sd and am trying to decide between this and maybe the sandisk one for 27£(EDIT: Its £29.61 from amazon themselves, its £27 from another reseller), even though it is only class 4 and has not adaptors with it. Would I be right in saying that you'd only notice the difference when, say, transferring files to the card or maybe loading photo's to view on the device?

I would only be using it to put music onto my device so i'm pretty sure the only advantage i would get out of it is syncing the device, and considering I'd only be loading a few different songs onto it at any one time, don't think theres any advantage in class 10, plus i'm guessing Sandisk would be a better brand in storage, as well as getting it from amazon themselves...

Drat:( My bad.:(

i got the lexar and i have to say it's great, tho i got it for €33 inc shipping a while back, must have been a sale price or something, sorry to rub it in anyway i'd always pay the little extra for a better known brand, i had problems in the past with an sd that fúcked up on me not at the start but later when all my data got wiped, so i've been ultra careful since then. that's not to say the one the op referenced won't be fine, but i'm just cautious like that when it comes to memory now

Zonda999

manual_man: Yeah i remember the Lexar was on offer there in December, about 28£ or so then..

I also chickened out in the end and got a 16gb Samsung class 10. convinced myself that 16gb would be sufficient for my needs

I see. Half the reason i went for 16 over 32gb in the end was the fact i'll prob upgrade the phone sometime this year, and with that, i probably won't need such a large external memory. Hope i won't regret it for the sake of 15 or so euro!
