Planning to get a 64GB MicroSD card (for phone memory) and wondering where is a good place to buy one and be reasonably certain that it is authentic?

Amazon would be very convenient, but the reviews do not exactly inspire confidence in that regard .... :thinking:

Not looking for the absolute lowest price, either, just want to avoid problems.

Any recommendations on brand, as well ?

What about all the different "ratings" or classes or speeds ... ?

Thanks CPF :)

Hi there, i tend to stick with sandisk as a brand and always get the highest class (10) when possible. I do this to cover other uses like HD videos(higher the class the higher the transfer speed). At a later date you might decide to use it in another application and right now class 10 has it covered. Make sure you get the holder in the pack for devices that need the larger size(SD), just makes it more flexible .

By no means am i an expert in SD cards!

Wow, thanks for the quick responses !

Does the SanDisk Ultra mean the Class 10 ? Versus the Extreme, Class 3 ?

Umm yeah. It was $2 per GB I recall.

Just be sure that your phone can see more than 64GB. One of mine can only address 32 ...
