While at Staples today, they had a Sandisk reader/writer for $15 with a $5 mail in rebate.
I figured what the heck, the price is right. Anyone have one or can comment on whether it is good or a piece of crap?

this sandisk got some mixed user reviews
but it sure looks cool
sandisk flashcards are often not the fastest flash cards more like the slowest flash cards really
that one at that link is just a reader. I was referring to a reader/writer.

16GB Sandisk cards seem to go for ~£21 on ebay. They're class two but I don't use swap or apps on ext, so I don't mind. Are these cards generally friendly with Magics?
Sandisk are a VERY good brand for SD cards. Be careful of memory cards on ebay though. Most of them are fake. I normally buy from reputable places like newegg.com or local stores.

x2 And also, IMHO, class 2 devices are a lot flakier than class 4/6. I've never had a 4/6 fail, but I have had class 2 micro SDs fail. Might just be me, but I would rather have the better classification at the sacrifice of more $ or less GB
Thanks guys/gals, think I'll get one then. I spoke to a guy with a Desire who said he'd never had a problem with Sandisk.
I am about to do my first complete wipe of Nook for a CM7 build.. Picked up a class 4 8gig at office depot for 14.99 so if that is a good deal hop on it!! So much for productivity

I haven't been to staples in a while, but BestBuy just had the SDSDQ-8192-AB11M on sale, and while their web site showed it as CL2, it was a CL4 in the packages hanging on the hooks in store. they also had another 8gig sandisk class 4 with a different part number... it wasn't on sale, so I didn't write the model number down (but yes, I compared the two P/N's against the sign to make sure i got the one on sale)
Office Depot and Staples the SDSDQ-008G-A11M listed as $14.99 and $19.99 respectively... so its possible its only class2, but then again, its possible they have cl4 in the pack now too...

I just picked up a SDSQ-008G-A11M at staples. Its a CL4 on the card.
But based on crystal disk bench marks, its SLOWER than the SDSQ-8192-AB11M I got a Best Buy.
I just ordered the
Patriot LX Series Class 10 16GB Micro SDHC Flash Card Model PSF16GMCSDHC10 (16GB)
off Newegg. $27.99 after mail in rebate. Free shipping.
EDIT: I looked in the comments about the card and several people have mentioned using this card with their rooted Nook Colors.
FYI, your local Costo has the Sandisk class 4 8GB micro SDHC card for $15.99. They also include 100 free photo prints (worth around $10) if you have the need. I find the Sandisk cards to be compatible with the Nook. I had the A-DATA 8GB class 6 and the Patriot 8GB class 10 both of which lock up on my Nook.

I bought the 8GB SanDisk MicroSD card from Best Buy recently, but it doesn't say what class it is anywhere on the package, has code sdsdq-8192-ab11m on the back. It was sale price of $25, onlybought from there because I had a $15 certificate.
I'm guessing it's class 2. Can someone verify?
There should be a number in a circle on the card. That would be the class. I got a sandisk class 4 8gbat office max this week for 17.99. There were class 2 and 4cards in the same same rack. P
Confirmed that it was a class 2 card. Thanks.
Just got this card in an email from amazon
class 6, 8 gb, 16.99 free shipping

Office depot has 8 Gig MicroSD cards on sale for 17.99
Cheapest I have found without ordering them. They also have a nice MicroSD to Flash Drive converter that's fun to play with for 7.99
Not sure anyone is interested, but might wanna get them unless you can find them cheaper.
I'm guessing you're talking about this one:
http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/980115/SanDisk-microSDHC-8GB-Memory-Card/
It's a class 2, which is fine for file storage, but you won't want to try running any ROMs off of it.
I checked Newegg and they have a Sandisk Class 4 card for $15.49 w/free shipping.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...457&cm_re=8gb_micro_sd-_-20-171-457-_-Product
You can get a class 10 Patriot for under $25 shipped as well. That one would be fine for running a ROM.

True enough. Still for a base card, nice steal. Holds enough of my music to make me happy
Dont know if its been posted but heres a cheap 32 gb card for xperia play-
http://www.mymemory.co.uk/SDHC/Integral/Integral-32GB-SD-Card-(SDHC)---Class-4
so who wants it get it lol its pretty cheap
Sure, you try shoving a full sized sd in the micro sd slot.
Even though that is obviously an SD card, that site has by far the cheapest cards in the last few months.
They had a Sandisk 32GB MicroSD class 4 for £44.99 the other month, which is the cheapest genuine card from a trusted retailer I have seen.
oh crap ma bad sorry about dat forgive me
i Recommend buying this... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/San-disk-...AsAccessories_MemoryCards&hash=item336b041119
if i was you i wouldnt buy a cheap Micro SD card as i done this before and i was shipped a fake card with really bad tranfers speeds...
Teku
For anyone in the US looking
$44.95 based on the reviews sounds like the real deal:

In the uk i go to CEX and buy a second hand one at a pretty good price

Geez, I thought I might be doing someone a favor.
thanks for the tip
Ebay is the land of fake memory cards, YMMV
A 98.9% positive rating sounds pretty favorable to me.
The problem is that the price is nothing special. You can get the same or better at Amazon for example, and that is for non-sales. On sale I got mine for $11 with shipping, and sold directly from Amazon.
Yeah, but can you get a Sandisk for $11? From what I have read on this board, Sandisk is the best bet.
