32GB MicroSD - working in X10
- Thread starter NZtechfreak
- Start date
$199US direct from Sandisk US online store (selling it exclusively at release, and still exclusive through them but also available from their UK store, problems with stock currently). I got it shipped to NZ using Shipito, which is an excellent service for us non-US residents.
Expensive, but then I've had the money saved over a year now since the 32GB cards were meant to be released ages ago!

Why the hell did you pay that sum of money for card !?!? 
)) DO you really need it or just for fun ? Because maybe it would be smarter to buy now 16 Gb for like 50$ and when that become small, in year or two, buy 32 Gb for 50-100$, because that would be the price in 2 years....but cheers to your purchase

Besides, 32GB cards were expected ages ago, so I've had the money saved! I budgetted to pay even more to be honest, and still would have made the purchase in a heart beat if they had turned as expensive as I had estimated...

What 'noise' have you heard ? I know personally of someone who has 32GB card in his phone and it is working fine. I have seen two users on here sucessfully claim to be using 32GB cards in their X10.
" I know personally of someone who has 32GB card in his phone and it is working fine." This is what I am looking for, thank you. The rest was just noise.
Anyone else have any actual personal experience of the 32gb microSD working or not?
Yes, I've not had any major issues with a SanDisk 32gb card, a couple of issues with it not mouting correctly when trying to connect it to my computer and use it as removable storage but I get this occationally with the supplied 8gb card too.
Tested with my friends to start off with, and I've since been out and bought my own, you can buy and use with confidence, using mine mostly to store movies (only so I can showcase the phone - I find myself daily needing to justify why I didnt buy a Desire...).
Currently only about a hundred meg free.
It will become a lot more useful once the phone is rooted.
£100 for a SD card is a lot of money... If I were to do it again I probably wouldnt have bought it when I did, knowing my luck by the time we've rooted it they'll prolly be a third of the price!

I can also confirm that 32 GB SDHC MicroSD cards works well with X10.
...and I can confirm that there are 32 GB MicroSD cards out on the market that does NOT follow SDHC (SD 2.00) specifications, and might therefor be incompatible with the X10.
I was careless and happened to get my hands on one of these non-SDHC 32 GB cards.
SDXC (Secure Digital eXtended Capacit) cards does not work as far as I know of.

China SD cards
I have read in message boards that china is spoofing the settings on the card to make the phone believe it is a 32gig card, and most of the time people get the card, stick it in the phone see 32 GB and give positive feedback to find out later that after 16gigs it craps out and they lose all their data. I would be VERY wary of a 25$ card from china. If you look at the pictures of the china cards, it used to be that there was a round sticker with 32GB written on the packaging. Probably over 16GB... but now the pictures on Ebay are all of a generic white background micro SD card with 32GB written on it.

There is also a BIG difference in price between a Class 2 and a Class 10 card!
Check which one you are getting when you compare them......

verizon wireless had a special offer on the 32 gb card for the droid x customers, now you can find really good deals on ebay (range $65-100) for authentic 32 gb sandisk cards.
I bought mine for $89.99 (buy it now option) and it works like a charm.
