It's not that amazing really. What's amazing is that you can't with said iPhone/ipad yet they still sell in their millions, amazing.

I've read a few places that this specific card is quite unreliable with 1 guy stating he has had 5 just suddenly stop working and losing all his photos

I bought 4 of these. Thx op. They are listed by mymemory.co.uk as suitable for GoPro 4 Black. Over Xmas break I tested them using 4K video at 30fps and they recorded smoothly without a glitch. Perfect. Thx again.

All this talking about not having internet access, etc.

Doesn't really matter to me. I don't use cloud storage.

Reserved three last week. Went to pickup today and they were like its 19.99£ each. And then I said when I reserved they were £9.99. Asked me for an email while I was looking she checked her system and said its ok she over rided then when i used my Argos energy card (given by SSE my gas energy supplier ) as had like 18£ worth of points so got first card free second one for £2 and then third one the normal £9.99. So happy with that.

just went to collect mine today
staff had no problem discounting down
my order
3x these cards £29.97
thanks OP
:sunglasses:

'Thanks for posting op! Can anyone advise if these can be used in hudl 2? It says hudl 2 is expandable to 48gb so not sure if this will work? Thanks'

Yes it does work, am typing using one now, though the card is a different make. The limit quoted is to do with Microsoft licensing arrangements, the manufacture has to pay more money if they quote a higher capacity and has nothing to do with what the kit will actually take.

Is this compatible with a ZX81 ?

Picked it up today and they honoured £9.99 no hassle. Cheers OP!

Thanks for posting op! Can anyone advise if these can be used in hudl 2? It says hudl 2 is expandable to 48gb so not sure if this will work? Thanks

There's internet access and phone signal all the way up to Everest base camp.

Bangladesh. She will be staying at villages where there is no mobile coverage, nor landline. Heck, even Scotland have places like that.

Is there such a place left now on the planet where there is no internet access ??

lol none. One for me. One for my younger brother. And two for my elder sister. She's going abroad. To a such a place where there is no Internet access. So she is downloading movies to the stick and she'll watch movies there. :smile:

Thank god. I reserved 4 of these and they tried to charge me £90 and I showed them my resevation email with price of £39.96 then they charged me that. My heart was shivering. Thanks OP

i collected mine yesterday, fast track, no issues and card is great, getting 40Mbps+ read speed on the moto g 3rd gen, where as my samsung card,same spec, is getting 33Mbps read in my M8 :disappointed:

Collected mine this evening after my first order was cancelled as the store said they lost my order. They reordered on my behalf, with a new order number, and tried to charge me £19.99. I said my original order was for £9.99. They checked this and overode the price at the till and charged me my original £9.99.

my reservation at Croydon did not work out first of all came up as 19.99 altered at the till to 9.99 waited 20 mins then story they had no stock and was error. I did get a refund and £10 voucher though

Collected a card for £9.99 today after the sales assistant got the ok from their manager (that only took a minute) to sell it at this price. then collected it about 5 mins later

Also got two cards for £19.98 today after having ordered them to store on the second day of the deal. Was asked for the £40 but they immediately accepted that I had ordered at a different price. Thanks!

Got my two cards that I reserved at Argos Livingston. Was asked for £39.98 but after showing my reservation code and presenting my £5 voucher from purchasing the Amazon Fire TV on Tuesday, final cost £14.98 - NICE!

Better than manufacturer's claimed performance through my USB3 Reader

This seems like a ploy to get customers into the store, Argos never let one pay reserve price before...pop in and see all the Christmas offers while you wait 10 mind just to pick up your item

Got one of these and spent ages copying loads of music albums onto it. Got constant errors every few minutes and had to dismount and remount it, then allow Windows to check it out before proceeding. Took me a whole evening to finally get stuff copied to it.
Then I found out my car media system only supports up to 32GB anyway!
Idiot

No problem picking up the SD card today - I pre-paid with Paypal, took a printout of the order codes in with me (could have shown the codes via the text they'd sent me instead), walk straight past the lines of people waiting to pay/get their items to the Fast Track desk, they typed in my codes, got the item and gave it to me with nothing else to do after that.

I was in and out of the store in under 1 minute - most impressive and a heck of a lot better than the pre-Fast Track days (I hadn't been to Argos in ages, so this was my first Fast Track). Yes, the SD card worked fine, so a very good experience overall.

i'd love to know how many of these got sold, I wonder if it was a pricing error?

Went to collect mine today, It came up as £19.99, told staff I had reserved it yesterday at £9.99 they didn't query it & altered price. :smiley:

My reservation was originally ready for sat and come forward to today. Price gone up to 19.99 when I put my reservation no in. Couldn't be bothered to argue the toss and walked out

Didn't buy it for storage but obviously this card is incompatible and unnecessary for me.

went to collect mine today. Initially told i was too late to collect i should have done it withing the 24 hrs of the email confirmation. The assistant then rechecked the computer and said it was still available when to collect it after a wait i was given a single SD card for my £19.98 Queried it but I was told that was the item i ordered i told them it wasnt they weren' t going to budge on it. So demanded and got a refund.
WONT WASTE MY TIME ON ANY OTHER ARGOS DEAL !!!!!
I would vote this cold but it wouldn't affect them in anyway.
So ARGOS MARKETING Dept YOUR a bunch of K$NTS.

My reservation was showing £19.99 so went to the counter showed them the email showing £9.99

All good collected my two for £19.98.

TY, would always fire onto a non-os drive just incase they also got anything suspicious on the drive you recovering!
I tested ZA out of interest one day taking my pics off cams sd card,formatted card, then ran ZA and it actually covered not only what was previously on it but pics from a format or 2 ago! that impressed and scared me lol.

time scale is same as slow format as it reads each byte copies over then moves on regardless, usually i set up to do over night think the last on i setup was a 500gb 2.5 seagate from a portable hardrive that had been droped
took around 8 hours on an el-crapo hp 2.4ghz single threaded p4 with a gig or two of ram running win7pro32
only main advice is always a seperate drive to recover onto pref not even os thats running program and crack the cases on portables and externals as sata anything trumps usb maybe not now so much as usb3 but im always using el-crapos when recovering as they get rinsed all night, and day and cost me zip when i mash the ports etc on the boards

Thank you dazzadirect. I appreciate your reply.:smiley:

Ty will do same for roadkill myself. Normally anyone who has asked me was only interested in pics and docs sitting in my docs. I'm guessing it takes a long time to run even on a small HD? Using ZA took forever on my sisters puter but it was only an entry range 1st gen i3 it took about 30mins-1hour over 1gb sd card to run on my i7.

price has gone up, seems like mis price

any idea if they will honour fast track purchaes ?

Silly question here.... It states andriod for smartphones and tablets. Can it still be used for cameras/video cameras? Thanks.

so , i suppose with a camera there will only usually be a couple folders so would be ok
not too sure about android stuff as i seem to have atleast 8 main folders
my bad i see you mean image mode , ie just supporting photo file types, interesting
roadkill is cool for complete harddrive recovery , as it will not get stuck on bad sectors and faulty drives
have recovered many TBs data for mates failing and failed drives
even a few seagate click of death , and one that sounded like a hooveri will download ZA and keep it on my toolkit pen , cheers

My wife just been over to Argos to pick up a couple of the bargain HC cards I ordered yesterday at £9.99 each. Got the reservation email with £19.98 on it etc. She's just arrived back with 2 microSDXC cards and a bill for £39.99... I call customer services (who are repeatedly very sorry but cant do anything about it), they put me through to the store where I speak to someone who tells me I did get what I ordered and they've now gone up so that's the price you pay unless you tell them at the till it was cheaper when you ordered it (even though the reservation has the right price on it!). I tactfully point out that the reservation is correct and she tells me "Ah yeah, but we don't look at the reservation we look at the internet/till price and that's what you pay unless you tell us!". I ask her to repeat what she just said and listen to herself to see if she think she sounds demented too, and tactfully point out that it's actually not my problem and she should refund the difference. The sound of cogs spinning prompts me to ask to speak to the manager and then find that she IS the manager!

After a lot of "lighthearted banter" she tells me that I can take this to any Argos store and they will refund the difference if I show them the reservation. End result is that I should get better than I ordered at the price I ordered which seems like a bargain if you discount the time wasted on the phone, my wife's time wasted driving back for the refund and petrol, + the 6 months I've lost from my life chatting to "customer service robots" who don't understand that Argos's systems seem to have been built by the same dipsticks who run security for TalkTalk.

Yeah but no limits if you only running for photos which is what I was looking for at the time. Card had corrupted just after her hubby had passed away and where there last photos together. Was a last resort before paying to send it away for professional recovery was quite amazed it recovered everything.

"In digital image recovery mode program operates as freeware with no functional limitations. List of known compatible digital camera models and image formats is available at the known camera compatibility list."

Instructions for images here. Is actually very easy.

looks interesting and defo more powerful RAID programmable etc
looks like a 4 folder limit for demo version though,
may give a try , still love roadkill
simplicity its self
TIA

Thanks OP, reserved yesterday and picked up today, stated £19.99 when went to pay but charged reservation price of £9.99 at cashier.

anyone wants a reservation code for Rugby ? I have reserved 2 when it was priced 9.99 and no longer needed as bought 3 yesterday !

i was given extreme 64GB upto 60MB/s 400x.
is that better or worse ?

upto speed sounds slower but sometimes real life speeds are different.

nice post eglons :smile: glad you will at least get refunded.

Yes definitely up to £19.99 now....glad I popped out and got one last night!

Tom

I've used this before on a corrupt SD card and got all the pictures recovered. Although it was only a 1gb card.

http://www.z-a-recovery.com/download.aspx

Went to pick up reservation n asked for 39.98. I said reserved for 9.99. Manager changed price to 9.99 each

4.3b) If you reserve a product and the price changes (due to normal fluctuations e.g. goods going into or coming out of promotion) before you collect the item, you may request to pay the lowest of i) the price on reservation or ii) the prevailing price in store at the time of collection. This will also apply if your reservation is extended but not if the reservation collection window has expired.

Proof of reservation would include: -

Reservation Number
Print out from the internet
Text message/email showing reservation number
For FastTrack orders where payment is made at the time of ordering for in store collection, the price you pay is the price specified at the point of placing the order and not the prevailing price in store at the time of collection. If on collection it is the case that the item has come down in price since the FastTrack order was placed, we will be happy to refund the purchase price and re- sell the item at the lower price. If the price has gone up from when the order was placed, it remains valid unless there has been a price error (see 4.3 (a))

I've been using my sandisk SD card for a few months (bought black friday in sainsburys last year).
When I put the sd adapter into the PC this week it curropted.
Is there anyway to recover the data. Mainly pics and videos of family.
Also do they have a lifetime guarantee?
Any help appreciated. thanks

Herrbz ...not sure what you mean ....he was pointing out that i
pads etc do not have the ability to increase their storage capacity as they don't have an sd card slot yet most other manufacturer's products do at much more affordable prices

Every major manufacturer does it, not just Apple.

Offer still showing online @ £9.99, however when you add to your trolley it changes to £19.99! My understanding is regardless of the online price, if you have reserved for collection instore, it's the instore price on the day of collection you pay :disappointed:

I really hope so as I saved some but did a re order yesterday for them and said collection 4 days later.
I missed the other ones due to work. If these are being sold more expensaive it is crazy. They showed as out of stock for £9.99 and then today they go back up £10 and are in stock.

is there away of extending a reservation over an automated system online or over phone? my reservation ended today

If you take along the printed email confirmation stating the price as £9.99 together with your reservation number, i can't imagine it'd be that hard to persuade a manager and walk out with it at the price you left your house for.

My mobile didn't recognise the card until it had been formatted. Bought a second one for my tablet.
Thanks OP :smile:

This deal is still on at the Argos website and some stores do have it in stock, so expiring it is simply wrong. I just ordered the last one online from the Liverpool One shopping centre at around 11.00pm on 9th Dec, but as people have said, stores will be restocking soon. The only real question is when does the offer actually expire for real? Will be getting a Raspberry Pi 2 for Xmas, so this card should be ideal for it.

IMO those who are writing off Sandisk just because they have had one card that does not work are making a mistake. Many devices out there are fussy when it comes to memory cards, so it may not be the fault of the card.

I picked up my card today and tried it in my Olympus LS 14 PCM recorder. It didn't work, so I swapped it with the card in my dashcam and it worked fine, whilst my dashcam is happy to work with the new 64gb Sandisk even though it's only supposed to be compatible with SDHC/32gb cards. Of course my dashcam only uses 32gb, but in the future when I upgrade my dashcam or buy another gadget that uses memory cards I'll have a usable 64gb card waiting for it.

Also it's worth remembering that Sandisk sells a huge amount of memory cards, and most people who are happy with them don't feel the need to post on the interweb and let others know about it, whilst those few who have problems are more likely to let others know.

As I mentioned before, I've used Sandisk products for many years now, and have yet to have one break or not be of any use at all to me, but YMMV.... getting the right memory card for a particular device can be a crap shoot, but that does not change the fact that this card at this price is still a great deal.

PS. My local Argos said they were currently sold out, but expecting more in next Monday :smile:

LOL, not even going to grace that comment with a "pah anecdotal nonsense".

i guess from the same batch but they were all bought from sandisk themselves and they replaced them 3 times. internet if full of forum about the faulty cards
what happens is that it will first freeze and stop anything being deleted or added than it will die
it can not be formated in anyway or repaired
but at the current price i think it will be ok
i got them when it was £40 about a year a go

why has this expired?

Great post - picked up 2 today. Only glitch - it took 19 minutes following payment kiosk before they were in my hands. Not a smooth transaction. However a full size Sandisk ultra SDHX 64gb 80mb I ordered from Amazon also arrived today and cost £18.99. Is there really any significant difference between a micro with an adapter and the full size card?

They aren't all 80mb/s...Picked up 3 today from same store and 1 was 48mb/s

Both Redditch stores still have at least 10 in stock at each.

that's strange....yes have had sandisk stuff a while ago with no probs but have recently been using Transcend.

The reason being that I had a Transcend card fail when doing an update to gopro ...it was a one off glitch in download but it bricked the card.

I got in touch with Transcend even though it was 18 months old and they stood by their lifetime guarantee and replaced it quickly and professionally...will continue to buy Transcend stuff but was tempted by the price and speed of this.

Hopefully it will prove reliable fingers crossed ...it says 10 year guarantee on the packaging so hopefully sandisk will be as nice as transcend if it does go wrong

Put in my Lenovo Yga 10 HD and it's not recognised, same problem as with sandisk 32gb. while no such problem with kingston. Won't buy a sandisk product again. Even for my dashcam had to replace sandisk with Transcend. Hope you guys don't experience similar problems..

When you say "3 times", was that 3 different cards? If so, were they all from the same batch bought at the same time, and did you buy from a well known/reputable vendor?

I only ask because I've heard that there have been some bad batches, but there are also lots of fakes about.

Thanks to OP I went and got one of these tonight ( I too don't know why this is expired it still shows in stock... I got one reserved and collected from my local branch 4 hours ago)
Have just tested on my good spec gaming PC in a USB3 card reader in a USB 3 slot and got better than advertised read speeds (91 read 23 write)

Note: when testing in my 6 year old laptop speeds were much slow (30mb/s read) showing that a low spec'd PC can be a bottleneck

Can't see how to attach a pic from my PC to this post ...would have shown screen grab

I have been stung a couple of times getting fake SD cards from dodgy sites so it's reassuring to get this genuine one as expected from argos.

I usually stick to Transcend cards as have had great service from them but couldn't resist this at the price...may even get another

It's a bit like those hidden easter eggs on DVD's, one of those surprise extras that don't get mentioned. Makes it so much worth having.

Still some left in York Piccadilly store

Great deal but waste of a tenner tho' if I bought one. Would just stare at it on the table.

Thank you for your post . Why expired there are still some left in Medway towns, Bexleyheath and Erith

thanks for posting, got two today

Very good price for a 64 GB card, thz!

hmm

Ordered one last night to collect from my local Argos. On my way to the store this morning, the manager phoned to say they had "lost" the item for my order but they would provide an equivalent. I thought, great, I'll get some cheap brand instead but no, they took a £30 hit and gave me the Extreme one instead. Bargain!

Stupid question maybe but will this go in my camera with the adapter?

Voted hot previously, but picked mine up today. Just wanted to say thank you personally. Wonderful find Op :smiley:

waited this long for amazon to price match and now gonna pick up from argos

nope just failed

Ordered one in the early hours of this morning and click and collect and paid for this evening. Thanks OP. Fromthe email confirmation, their text, and no hassle pick up and not have to prepay but pay on collection option, top marks. Alot of other stores could learn from the Argus business model.

Ordered 2 for myself and Mrs!! Both Note II users.

Great deal.

Superb deal with superb price.

Just reserved 2 incase I change my mind.

Anyone seeing out of stock might want to check either tonight after closing or in the morning, by then some reservations from Tuesday might have cleared (same goes for tomorrow).

Happened to me with something I bought last week.


It means that it's coming in on a regular delivery where they're expecting stock.

However, I'd suggest waiting for a text/email or calling before collecting it because there is no guarantee (first hand experience).

oos now, tried to order but at point of payment it removes it and gives option to email you when in stock.

For some reason i hate people who get it wrong it annoys me that much lol

"Available to collect in 1-5 days" is Argos speak for we aren't getting any more.

but you'd get the same storage for £9.99 here? I don't get why you'd buy an iPhone for storage anyways....

My point being though its only applicable to that one phone? The MicroSD card works perfectly fine in other devices (the article even admits it) so personally id point the finger at the phone (or phone firmware) being at fault. Fair play to Sandisk for taking action to remedy the issue though...

It constantly amazes that Argos don't know exactly what they are sellling.I wonder how many other products they have mis-described.Can anyone make an exact comparison with this on another seller website.

Great will give me a 64gb (approx) boost for my surface 3 thanks OP

My store phoned me up to say they couldn't find my order, but they've placed another order on my behalf available from tomorrow? I hope they haven't changed the sort of card it is. It was resserved since yesterday, how can they lose it, unless one of the staff wanted to buy it or something!

Suddenly gone from stock everywhere to out-of-stock everywhere.
Think they've pulled em from sale.

sold out? :-(

sold out? :-(

sold out? :-(

Works fine on the Sony 4K X1000v action cam in 4K mode at both 24 and 30 frames per sec at 60Mbps data rate as expected won't work at 100Mbps, need a UHS-1 U3 for that and this is U1. Even so this is excellent performance for a U1

Which is my point. You're just repeating stuff that you don't understand.
The chart is nonsense.
SDXC is no different to SDHC physically. The difference is software (file system different format which is a purely software thing, FAT32/FATX and can be changed by end user at will) and capacity, which is dictated by the hardware device firmware in terms of what type of addressing it is using.

The chart is highly misleading and not factually correct, regardless of if the standards maker released it.

in fact this is not the only acticle mentioned the problem. if you google "samsung s3 sandisk card" you'll find a lot of websites reporting this issue.

I was a victim among all. Sandisk card failed in just a week of use on my S3. Put other cards in, they all worked fine.

Even Sandisk allows me to return the faulty card straightaway to their warehouse. Sandisk clearly knew about the issue.

There MAY now be a limit of five cards at the in store checkout. My friend tried to purchase six for Xmas presents, however, it wouldn't go through. You have to make a couple of visits if you need more than five.

As already mentioned these are not as advertised - they are better. Just collected 4 from local store - SanDisk Ultra MicroSDXC, UGS-I, Category 10, 64GB, Speed up to 80MB/s 533X

Ordered for my Amazon Fire 4K that I picked up yesterday, should cost me £4.99

I already have too many memory cards but this is too good to turn down dammit! - ordered for collection.

Seems most stores have sold out, but they are still taking orders @ the same price, quoting 4 or 5 days lead time.

a tenner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right.

Lol at that article. I would've said the fault lies with the phone rather than the SD card surely?

same price in store ?

Anyone tried one in a Galaxy S3? Bit concerned about an earlier comment

hot. ordered. thanks OP

obiously super hot! 2x ordered :smiley:
heat added, thank you very much.

Off topic, but I was in McDonald's Leister Square last week (opposite the Palace Theatre), they have taken on the Argos model.
You order your burger. And then everyone stands about randomly for their order. Unfortunately I don't think it works. I was waiting over ten minutes.

thanks :smiley:

Yes it will I picked one up yesterday and currently have it working in my s5 also got another for my daughters galaxy s tab I've got her for Christmas :smiley:

Yes, nice simple programme- I'm more used to using the complicated stuff!

Cheers rev 6

Hi peeps I don't know if it's been asked before but will this work on the galaxy s5? Less of the sarcasm as I'm not tech savy nor do I plan on reading 16 pages, thanks in advance.

Rufus has many uses, that's why I use it. It worked too.

Finally! I used

SmartDisk Fat32 Formatter Utility Tool

Worked when all else had failed; sitting in the car park at the moment recording passing traffic, so I'll see how it goes. I recommend this tool for general use. Much easier than the rest.

Hot reserved one for my m8

Apple ought to change its name to irob, and its customers known as i-diots.

He admited he bought an overpriced phone with no sd card expansion available, while everyone has got phone internal memory + extra 64Gb available. He's just jealous, typical i-sob. :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you! Will use it with the Gopro silver 3+ we bought on Black Friday!

Superb deal if you've got bad memory

What did you use to format it to FAT32? Rufus successfully did it here without any problems so far.

Is this a class 10? Thank you.

Well, I have about given up trying to use this in my dashcam. Formatted Fat32 and threw a wobbly. Reformatted back to exFAT, removed the partitions, converted to NFTS then to FAT32. Tried as both logical and primary. It worked on test and files were copied over but in the car it wanted to format the card and then threw another wobbly- left it there until it stops screaming and back to the 32Gb.

Stupid question should an ingrown hair be squeezed or better left alone?

The cards tests at 80/20 (read/write).

​Well said.....the same problem with non-removable batteries.

So is it SDHC OR SDXC?! Description: Store up to 64GB with the microSDHC memory card. With a read speed of 30MB per second, this memory card also includes a microSD adaptor to convert to SD size for compatible devices.

microSDHC memory card.

64GB capacity.
Read speed 30MB per sec.
Includes microSD adaptor to convert to SD size, for compatible devices.

Reserved! Thanks op!!

Thanks just what I need

reserved thanks!! x

lol

No digital

What?! Are you saying that Apple are charging more for their products than it costs to make them? What disgusting behaviour!
From now on I'll be supporting one of the more honest electronics companies who aren't trying to make a profit on their products.
You're right though, there should be a regulatory body forcing companies to sell everything at cost. That would work out well - clearly you have a good understanding of how business works!

Will this work in a gopro 4? Thanks.

is this compatible with gopro 4 hero black? thx

will this work with the doogee x5 phone or do i need just the sd card

I brought six, going to use them as Christmas trimmings for something a bit different. Love the colours.

Has anyone had success with 64gb card for the Lenovo A8 8 Inch 16GB Tablet alerted on here a few weeks ago from Argos?

Well, actually, only if it supports the SDHC (High Capacity) type, not "standard" (1st gen) SD.

That's goin' straight in my basket!

great!

My last one died recently and although I'm reluctant to buy another but this price is quite good.

thanks OP ordered one

Do they deliver in other countries of europe?

I think you probably qualify for some special one on one education sessions; it's really helped many technologically challenged people.

collected 4 today, though I previously did have issue when using sandisk card on my galaxy S3 (a known issue by sandisk, the SD card corrupted and data cannot be read most of the time). I eventually sent the corrupted card off their EU warehouse and they sent me a new sd card which they claimed the issue is solved.

I sold my S3 last year on CEX and get a Honor Holly instead, hope this patch will work properly on both phones and tablets.

just ordered 4 for all my devices
for Toshiba tablet,
LG g2,
that cheap black Friday lenovo tablet,
Samsung s5,
vodafone ultra smart 6,
oooh that's five better get one more before they all go

Well, to be fair, the same happens with android phones/tablets without an sd card slot (like Google Nexus, Samsung S6, LG G2 and so on). And I personally had arguments here with people saying "hey, you do not need a card slot!"

iPhone groupies....they keep on giving! They can't help it!!

Black Friday has always been overrated. Prices aren't usually their cheapest of the year but marketing prevails.

These were £15 during black friday. From now on im waiting for deals the week after... :neutral_face:

Great, bought from Whitechapel. Plenty available around London. It's actually the fast 80mb/s, not 50mb/s as listed.

Username goes well with the comment :smiley:

brilliant, do you feel special telling everyone that?
You mean 'can't use one' rather than 'don't need one' though don't you?

Have bought 2 sandisk flashdrives , a memory card ,and now recently and SSD and all of the things has been of sub-quality,poor build quality and low speeds ,would not buy another sandisk product!

does anyone know if these are compatible with Samsung galaxy s5 please?

No worries :smiley: I ran three of those benchmarks and they all came out very similar so not a one off.

Maybe he was just saying that he brought them back from the store?

Fantastic price, just reserved a couple - thanks OP

Got my two for my tablets. Give sandisk another go at this price.

Mine arrived a few minutes ago. Using a USB3.0 card reader:



Seen a lot worse than this, I was expecting much slower write speeds.

Incredibly helpful to know. Do continue posting comments such as the above. Really contributes towards the deal.

I just popped one of these into a Lenovo A10, it recognised it, formated it and showing as full capacity. Confused as A10 manual says this device supports a maximum of 32Gb. Anything I'm missing?

Thank you

Just bought a 64GB card yesterday for £14. How typical. Hot for me

So this one is quicker than that one? Any other differences like reliability?

Sorted and fits thanks a million

roasting, already bought 2 from amazon and 7 day shop, got another

It's fits :smiley: but thank you for the support it was a general quick comment I put on, but I could have supplier a little more info but I am not that techy :/

Great thanks

Would this fit the Amazon kindle that was £35 a few weeks ago?

I can CONFIRM this does work in the Amazon Fire 7 tablet , that was posted last week for £35 from Argos & Amazon :smiley:

That work fine. Best budget cards to get. I use in dashcam for motor bike and car and in 2 go pros.

That will go nicely in my go pro. Thanks for sharing .

nervous about reliability, are these really unreadable if they go wrong, I thought the whole point was that if they fail you can read but not write?

wouldn't want to loose a lot of photo's if it failed :neutral_face: but for the price it seems rude not to try!

Argos says 20 MB/s read speed, not 80?

Cheers op. Been wanting a good priced 64gb one purely for music on my phone for work. I don't save anything to it and only store music from my pc on there so if it is as unreliable as people have said then it shouldn't matter.

Thanks to the OP. Just went to my local store and was very surprised to see they had plenty in stock! Bought 11 for stocking fillers and Xmas presents. Who would say no a 64 fast micro card... Then used the £10 voucher to get myself a free one! Brilliant deal.

On the Argos reviews somebody has said this works in a Go Pro Hero 4, I have also bought the 3+ for my son and wanted this to go with it so I'd also like the answer to this question if anybody has definitely used them together.

Where did you bring them from?

be careful with these as i have lost data 3 times with them

sure this is the one (it's in my phone now) I bought for £14.99 last week, was a good price then!! :confused:

Don't like Argos, no free delivery.

cold.. Sandisk...

This is a good deal but Sandisk SD cards for me have not been reliable. The last one I bought suddenly stopped working after a few months in that I could not save anything to it or even delete anything from it, or format it etc. Sandisk were good about it and offered to repair/replace it but wanted me to send the card back which I wasn't prepared to do due to the sensitive stuff I had put onto it.
So buy it since it's a good deal but don't put anything too important on it (or at least, regularly copy the stuff from it to a PC or external HD) as it could fail sooner than you think!

Yes, it's not one of the newer/more resilient cards, but the thread I linked to discusses cards like the one we are discussing here, which is why I posted the link.

I would have to disagree that the warranty issue is irrelevant here since there are people here buying them for dashcams (or at least contemplating it) so I see no harm in pointing that out as a possible issue.

Also, the chances that a particular card would decide to die at exactly the same time that you are involved in an incident are extremely low. I've been using dashcams for over 5 years now with various cards (including Sandisk cards) and have not had a single issue, although admittedly I don't drive every day as part of a job. Even if you do, the chances that you get caught out would be minimal providing that after each day's use you check that the card is still working properly.

I think that my main point, that the overheating is only going to be an issue in hot countries, is valid for the most part and still stands. Granted, if you are doing a lot of driving(or planning to use it in a hot climate), then this card may not be for you, but I think for most people on here who don't fall into those categories, this card is still worth getting for a dashcam.

Just put in win 7 pc and it shows up as 1meg maximum capacity, any ideas please?

its a pretty good price and argos aren't going to have fakes which is nice. Hmm, my preferred brand? why its transcend.

Nice nice, chicken and rice!
I'm amazed at the number of haters in here.

Purchased 2 - it'd be rude not too!

Great price. HOT

[img][/img]

This will go well with my new nvidia shield tv

Well I have the 32gb version in my dashcam and its worked fine for the last year or so

Yes, mine's 128Gb (+ second card slot) but it did throw a wobbly when I set off tonight so I may have to check it out again. I was assuming that the other would accept higher cards.

is there a new version to this ? amazon has a new version so im confused on what could be the differences,must be just speed

Thanks OP. Ordered from Wembley store. And I can confirm is the ' upto 80 MB' read version not 30mb as stated on the listing.

Ordered 2, great deal!

A very nice deal indeed :man:

They must have loads of them. Still available in all branches in SE London.

That just happened to my transcend card, it has a lifetime warranty but I couldn't delete my files on it so couldn't really send it back but I've fed it 12v today and killed it stone dead. It's winging its way back to transcend now. :man:

What kind of filler item ; is over £50 not enough ?

This isn't one of those cards though and the warranty is a bit irrelevant as it will be little consolation to get a replacement for a £10 card after you get scammed by a **** in an accident you didn't record because the poxy card locked up and corrupted.

Got my info from dashcamtalk and also Sandisk's own forum, I'd put one in my phone but decided it's just not worth the potential consequences in the dashcam.

Due to a bit of confusion about whether they had stock available in Hammersmith the lady showed me her till screen showing the available numbers in West London and there had to have been in excess of 300 of these still available in this part of the world.

Given my predilection for silly comments this one is a bit disappointing, but you can't win them all.

Got it for £4.99 due to having a free £5 voucher from O2 Priority, will do nicely.

Thanks ordered a few !

Not so sure it's quite that clear cut. We don't get as hot as some places, so it's probably not that much of an issue here in the UK. BTW - Sandisk does not honor warranties when their regular cards (like this one) are used in dashcams, but there is a way around it.... don't tell them and cut your old card in half before you send it back!

This thread is worth a look: http://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/the-days-of-saying-sandisk-cards-arent-suited-to-dashcams-are-now-over.10017/

did you think noone would understand the number 6 or are you bragging that you have a job?

picked up 6pcs:) with £5 voucher:) speed upto 80 MB/s 533X


2 for 3DS XL :smiley:
3 for Dash Cam
1 spare

Reserved thanks

Will this work well with the GoPro Hero 3+ Silver edition?

Absolute cracking deal. Thanks Op. Nicely sitting now in my 3rd gen Moto G. Slotted in and formatted in seconds and transferred all my pictures across in no time. Can confirm 80mbs speed not 30 as advertised.

Great. Missed this on Amazon when it was £11.99. Many thanks OP.

Cheers. ordered :-D heat added

got one more and you get a voucher for spending 50 quid wicked deal

Hi am buying son a dash cam for Christmas and from what I have read I will need a class 10 memory card...I have ordered one of these but to be honest am way out of my depth.... So would appreciate any advise... will this work ?is it class 10? Thank you....

>>>>>

Only on my day off Cecil ;-)

Thx op reserved one for my linx 7 Windows tablet

Just ordered. cheers op...

Can you use these in a samsung galaxy tab 4 ?

Exactly :smiley:

Mine does as well, but I just tried using a Sandisk Extreme III 64GB SDXC card in it, and it works fine (excepting that only 32GB are available). It's best IMO to format the card in the device you are going to use it in - that always works for me.

Chart is nonsense.
It all comes down to capacity and obviously physical form factor.
There's nothing "different" about an SDXC vs SDHC card except it comes formatted with a different file system as standard from the shop.

Was going to buy a 128 GB SanDisk Ultra for ~£50 from Amazon, but this deal is too good to pass up.

Never filled up my old SD card anyway.

Lol, by any chance do you design road layouts!

2 ordered heat from me thanks.

My dashcam has a maximum card capacity of 32GB, worth checking.

Just bought one of these to use in a dashcam and it needs to be formatted to fat32, as people have mentioned.

I did try using the supplied adapter and the programme (mini partition wizard- can't do it with Windows formatting if over 32Gb) said the card was damaged. It appears that there is something wrong with the supplied adapter, so I suggest people check theirs with a different one before potentially returning (yes, I did check the lock!).

Just got one from Newcastle Northumberland st shop, 13 left in shop, cheers.

Is this compatible with a raspberry pi?

Great find - just picked 2 up from Leyland to go in the Cenovo mini PC's I got a few weeks back.
This site costs me a fortune lol .....

Says "SanDisk Ultra microSDXC™ UHS-I Card with Adapter" on the packet I got :neutral_face: Anyway doesn't seem/want to work with Andriod 5.1 on my Teclast x98 Pro. :disappointed:

It is a 64GB SDXC UHS-1. I'm looking at one right now...

Will this work with Linx tab?

You either dont use it enough or dont have one... Unless you literally means it doesnt have seams. :smiley:

What IS amazing about iDevices is that how can they sell it for pretty much the same price globally?? Some mega impressive price fixing/Marketing going on.

To avoid confusion. SDH and SDXC reference size not speed.
SDHC is up to 32gb
SDXC is 32gb and up

Admittedly SDXC are usually the fastest because the tech is newer and more advanced. But the HC and XC relate specifically to the storage size not speed.

This is definately Micro SD XCand Argos have that listed incorrectly.

Anyone know what class card this is?

this is SDXC not SDHC as described so be careful with older devices

Also can anyone confirm this will work the the NVidia Shield?

All this SDXC and SDHC compatibility....what an arseache. Most cheap digital cameras seem to be SDHC compat. So I guess this would be no good for a cheap camera I want to get!

What's even more amazing is the mark-up on the different models of tablets, depending on what native extra memory capacity you want onboard.

Apple are the biggest offenders here, charging hundreds more for a "top" spec 128gb iPad, when all the logic boards are manufactured with the memory slots already there as standard and populating those banks literally costs them under a fiver for the extra chips.

They should have some regulatory authority throwing the book at them for gouging consumers.

Hot deal anyways.

Can these be used in GoPros?

No, that is not amazing. iDevices are always seamless, and SD cards are not. eMMC gives a much better experience, and it also gives Apple an opportunity to overcharge the customer - so it is a win-win situation :-)

But the deal is amazing. Order 5 plus a filler item, and you get a 5 pound voucher, too. The only strange thing is the SDHC label, when this should be an SDXC card.

Mid to low end performance, I read this the other day benchmarking SD cards for RPi buy a Samsung EVO+ online and get much better performance.
http://www.midwesternmac.com/blogs/jeff-geerling/raspberry-pi-microsd-card

Picked up 2 - thanks OP!

Carefully if for a go pro, some older ones only work upto 32gb

Like I said, the limits are normally only stated as they are the biggest cards available at the time.

If it takes SD it should work.

I have a 64Gb with the adapter working in a 2 year old Olympus bridge camera.

Cheers OP had to get some wipers from Halfords nearby so popped into Argos and got myself 2. :smiley:

are these reliable or should i buy a sansung or kingston?

Just done a test with H2testw and it writes at 14Mb/s and reads at 18Mb/s. (thats MegaBytes like!)

Thanks OP, excellent find, ordered for collection.:smile:

hopefully amazon will match the price soon

Thanks op picked mine up and they are the better ones 80MBs :smile:

There are indeed. Sandisk technical are pretty good if you suspect a fake, send them a photo of the product / packaging and serial codes they will check it out.

Lol :smile:

Yes SanDisk is one of the largest manufacturers of flash memory, so even if their products were the best you would still see a lot of negative comments about them as generally people don't post to say "everything's great, just thought I'd let everyone know".

Personally I've bought a lot of USB and SD/microSD flash cards and never had a problem with the major brands like Samsung, SanDisk, Kingston. But as mentioned in another post you do need to be careful where you buy from as there are a lot of counterfeit parts on sale.

I've read a few places that this specific card is quite unreliable with 1 guy stating he has had 5 just suddenly stop working and losing all his photos

Don't need one - reserved four. :smile:

22 left in Argos , Vancouver Quarter , Kings Lynn at time of posting this out of 100 !!!

Firstly, nice spot OP... indeed a scorchio!

Secondly, can someone please explain this?

I wouldn't be surprised if this guy Pavel is using 5 proxies/fake accounts... coz he seems to be obsessed with memory deals... if someone beats him to a good deal on memory, he berates their thread...

meh prefer samsung

Hmmm wut you say..

Just ordered one to pick up at my local Argos. :-)))

Thanxx OP

Just bought 2 , thanks for the post

Ordered thanks

Well if its prone to fail in dash cams sounds like it may not like a lot of writing?

Reserved one for Xbox Games With Gold. Will be written to and then mainly just read for the rest of the time.

ARGOS? actual argos with an actual bargain actually in stock
well this certainly is a first

Thank you, I'm having a look at these in Argos.

Same one in Argos is too expensive...is it worth the extra 20mb/s for extra £13?

Didn't need for anything but seen as my lappy is on a tiny ssd. 64GB storage for a tenner is hard to turn down. cheers!

These are good stocking fillers I guess. Ordered two.

Is this any good for a DSLR? I have a Nikon D5000 which a few years old

An SD card deal and people still manage to make it about Apple. Ever thought of finding something more productive to do with your time?

I was using this card in my D3300 with HQ Jpeg and Raw settings. You can easily fire off 3 shots but it will slow down whilst it writes to the card. Personally I think that is due to the speed of the camera itself rather than the SD card limitation. If all cameras could write so fast, then there would be no need for Higher end stuff such as the D3, D800 etc.....

Absolute bargain! Thanks OP!

Can pick one up after work, quicker than Amazon, win!

Would any know if this would be ideal for Nikon D3300 camera?

thanks op just picked 3 that I reserved and can confirm they are sdxc uhs-1

I understand what you're saying, but this is a one off price. Be back upto £25-£30 in January

bought 2 heat added

Arnt Sandisk the death star of micro SD cards ,especially the ultra range or am I mistaken ?

Website states "read speed of 30MB per second" and not 80MB yet oddly what appears to be the same memory card on Amazon states 80MB transfer speed.

Is the Amazon MC different to this one? Or have Argos made a mistake on their website?

Great, just ordered 2 x for our phones.

80 Mb/s just collected

Thanks OP, and 8% off through work :smiley:

Bit annoyed. Went to pick mine up. Firstly the reservation number didn't work on the pay machine, then they couldn't find the damn thing after waiting nearly half an hour. To their credit though, they said they'd get one from another store and deliver it today so not all bad (as long as it does get here).

Purchased! Will be collecting it later! :smiley:

Cant see this one lasting for long! very very cheap - (Typically ive just bought one last week for £17.99!!!) Argh!

Cool, ordered a couple. Will collect later :smiley: Heat from me

£19.99 :disappointed:

EDIT: When you add to the trolley it turns to £9.99! :smiley:

Any good deals on 128gb micro sd card?

Any idea if the motorola moto g 4g model would support this micro sd card? Thanks.

If it is greater than 32GB it’ll have to be SDXC, not HC (which can only be as capacious as 32GB and no more). Implicitly, this also, er, implies, that the filesystem will also have to be exFAT. It’s not necessarily the case that a device that predates SDXC can use one if formatted as FAT (or any other filesystem formatting that can give greater than 32GB contiguous space). The pinout differs in terms of voltage, also (as in, it goes lower for UHC bus operation, and the device it is in might not be able to do that).

The golden rule is, read your fair king manual* — if it says SDXC, then it can. If it says micro size, it can take the micro size without the adaptor, otherwise, use the adaptor to bring it up to size.

*or the manual for whatever device you’re intending to use. Really, they’re not boring (well, yes they are often) and they’re not confusing (hmm, no, they’re often highly obtuse) but I can guarantee that each time I’ve read bits of the manual for something I own, I’ve come out of the experience knowing some tiny thing more, raising my appreciation of my tool.

Can anyone let me know if this is compatible with Hudl2 tablet?

Can anyone let me know if this is compatible with Hudl2 tablet?

Does the Amazon Fire 7, support this card?

Heat from me just what I needed Cheers OP

and my son's galaxy note tablet

not good in samsung devices true?

I'm gonna get one of these but I do admit that Sandisk cards have a problem, basically the card tries to be smart and if it notices any kind of error it locks down into read only mode permanently.Unfortunately this also corrupts the file system so you end up with a card that can't be formatted or written to ever again and also can't be read properly. It just becomes junk.

title should be changed to SDXC instead of SDHC.

Cheerio! Just reserved one.

Sdxc cards so better than expected!

Great price no doubt but.... Is it sdhc or sdxc then? Also is it 80mbps or 30mbps?

Nice one OP, even better if they are 80s

Ordered, thanks OP

for my Hero ,,,,,,,,,, reserved , thx OP

You're my actual hero.

Yeah sure...

Cheers mate, got one with fast track delivery.

Got one. Thanks!

Not heard great things about Sandisk.

The Russell Hobbs of memory cards!

my guess would be the write speed on these wont be massively high and thats the issue with go pro use.

check their site / forums for whether anyone has used these.

just ordered 3 as i've got 2 x raspberry pi zeros and a windows mini laptop to fill

Good find!!

Well if they work in my dads BLU WIN HD phone then i will be happy. Hopefully they work in the GoPro too

Argos should get done for false advistising. lol

They show it being SDHC on the site with an SDXC picture. Tut Tut Argoose.

It's impossible to suck too much voltage. Current maybe, but not voltage.

I think this is not a sdxc.. Looks like sdhc from the image...Open the link and read the description in Argos website and it says up to 30mb/s speed.. Definitely not SDXC

Just picked up 2 from Argos Cowley and they say MicroSDXC UHS-1 and up to 80 MB/s !

Heat added. Now I can store 128,000 books on my e-reader :laughing:

Thanks OP :smiley: Reserved one

as much as the person who said yes, if the op had stated make/model etc , in stead of just saying will this work with "my Camera" , i may have not had to read her mind to give answer , so if she comes back on and says what device she has then , we'll see

Thanks OP, just what I am looking for!

thank you..........resistance was futile

Paid 14 for Samsung one on Amazon on Saturday just got dispatched today, can I get onto customer service for the difference?

Great price - now what do I need a new memory card for...

Sweet. My Samsung 128G usb3's from game365 for 3.95 each have not been honoured (I suspected as much....too much of a save!). On this like flies on a turd.

Helpful answer.



As long as your camera supports Standard SD, this will work fine. some devices say they can only support up to (for example 32GB) but most of the time that's just because it was biggest card available when it was made. :smiley: ignore the above comment.

this will be the hottest deal of the day

3 new windows tabs for xmas....so great find x

As an iPhone and iPad user, I've never been interested in these before. But having picked up a £35 kindle fire on Black Friday, it's amazing to be able to increase the capacity by 8x for a tenner! Ordered and voted hot. Thanks

Perfect Timing, Thanks OP!!

Thank you

brilliant was just going to get a 32gb for my phone. bargin! :smile:

even sdxc can be reformatted to fat32 so that they can work in older devices fyi

At least with Argos you can return if a problem ?

Needed a few of these for some new gadgets, thank you OP!

Good price for the capacity. Wouldn't touch a high capacity SanDisk card again though.

Don't need one. bought one. Red hot.

Wowser - HOT!!!!!!

Would be rude not to.

Hot

This should get mega-hot!

Scorchio

How cheap!
