micro sd cards

Looking to purchase a 32 gb version of the above but with so many fakes being sold does anyone know where to get a good deal on a genuine card

Amazon all the way! They are so much cheaper!

I usually get a SanDisk and they have never failed me. Definitely not a knock-off!

39 1 star reviews saying it failed...

Be extremely careful not to buy such items from Marketplace sellers on Amazon, whilst some are legit, I've had fakes before and reported them. Never had a problem with direct from Amazon purchases so far...

However I always get my memory cards from http://www.wexphotographic.com/ and http://www.mymemory.co.uk/
former isn't the cheapest, but super service; latter has very good prices

Bear in mind the one in this link is only class 4. That's fine if that's all you need but certain things are happier with class 6 and above.

Agree with Sandisk being good.

MyMemory often has good prices also.

I just ordered one other day from amazon for tablet pc

£16.99 32gb class 10 should hopefully come next few days

You can get cheaper if you want slower speed class 6 etc

I avoided scandisk as I heard there was some issues with certain card here on samsung phones/tablet

"SanDisk has owned up to microSD cards causing problems with Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets. S3 owners and owners of other devices, including the Galaxy Note, report cards failing in both their phone and computer. Even worse, some cards continually disappear and then mount themselves over and over again, draining the battery without you realising it."

Oh wow! I never heard about the failures!

I have always bought SanDisk for all size SD cards but will keep a close eye out for problems! Thanks guys

I tend to buy either Sandisk, Crucial* or Samsung for memory cards most of the time.
Some of the Samsung ones are sold as being extra rugged/able to survive things like immersion in water for x hours, and have manual "read only" slides that are handy.

*I tend to buy all my RAM as crucial due to the guarantee, and compatibility combined with a great UK RMA service (last time i had to try and use sandisks rma it was in Poland or somewhere).

Hi
I bought two 32gig scandisc cards for two raspberry pi computers I have, one has given up but the other is still going strong. I have now gone over to an adapter and mini cards, they are cheaper to purchase if it happens too often . so far so good. Cheers
