Thanks OP.. Time to say bye to phone with no SD Card facility


Heat added

That's an iPhone mate, no memory card slot, no power...

You posted your deal 3 hours after this was posted and therefore it was removed as a duplicate.

Wow thanks for letting me know. I was under the impression that sd cards would work fine as they are mentioned on the Nvidia website. I'll run with the internal storage for as long as I can and hold fire until I absolutely need more.

Cheers

None will, speeds are simply too slow. If you absolutely must add internal then look at a high speed USB stick or even a USB 3.0 portable hard drive, I wouldn't bother looking at SSD as you'll be limited by the USB 3.0 ports.

****... sorry, wrong bingo card. :man::smile:

£200 extra for 128GB of extra storage?!

The only thing more crazy than Apple's pricing are the people who buy their products!

I wonder how much Apple charges for this privilege. My spider senses feel its alot.

Thanks - didn't bother in the end. Do you know if any card would run smoothly as the internal storage? Thanks.

All my cards were bought directly from Amazon or Tescos, they passed h2testw and the packaging didn't have any of the defects that would show them as fakes - I've seen a fake card pass an h2testw test at the high write speeds they should and also the type of failure (the card become write locked) is typical of a genuine card, not a fake one which just fails entirely. Also, I've bought a variety of SD cards in similar capacities and speeds at the same time also from Sandisk without a single failure on any of them. I'm going to try sending the 200GB back to Sandisk instead for a change and see what they say about it being a fake or not.

I have been puzzled by the high rate of failure, I think it's partially bad luck and my sample size is small and I know others that have had similar failures as well. Not that it puts me off buying them entirely but I wouldn't fork out a lot of money for them.

I have a Lumia 950. My apps save to the 32GB of internal memory, my videos/pictures/music/documents are saved to my 128GB Lexar SD.
I imagine Android users buying such cards are doing so with the same usage in mind.
The best thing about my setup? I can remove the card whilst the phone is still switched on, and then stick it in my 2 in 1 and edit/upload photos and videos etc.
Try and get that kind of versatility out of built in storage :wink:.
Oh, and I also don't have to pay ridiculous premiums for additional storage...
(If you are an iPhone user, remind me again the difference in price of a 16GB and a 64GB iPhone 6S. Once you've done that calculation, you may start to see the merits that these cheap micro SD cards afford)

Lol - no its android all the way - just get one with a big internal memory! Loads of apps still have problems with sdcards even in marshmallow.

Lol - maybe both! The problems with android and sdcards are well documented all over the web. In brief, there are many big apps (often games) which can't make use of the extra memory. This is still the case with the new adoptable storage in Marshmallow (although it improves the situation). I know there are apps which can force apps onto the sdcard but they sometimes cause bugs. Whether these issues are a glitch or a security feature is also a running debate. That's why I use and recommend a phone with large internal memory.

Would anyone know if this would be good to use as main storage for the Nvidia Shield TV or would there be performance issues?

Cheers

seriously i aint got a clue...im rocking the s4 and cant even work that,,lol i can text and call and facebook. ha ha

Does the discount code work?

https://sjcamhd.com/sj4000-series-firmware/

"SJCAM SJ4000 Wifi version 1.2 (v1.2) is now here. This firmware adds support for 64gb& 128gb memory cards. Please make sure to check out the list of known supported memory cards on the SJCAM Forum. If your memory card does not work, remember to format is using FAT32 method. Also, make sure you are using an original memory card that has a high class rating. There are many fake cards on online sites so make sure you buy from an authorized reseller of your memory card brand."

im dim...will this work with the s7 edge and can s7 edge take as much as 128gb? ive heard this 32gb model is only 24gb in reality....

Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it. Saves an unnecessary purchase . I'll go for 32Gb :smiley:

Will this be ok for an sjcam ? Thanks

I've never had a Sandisk card fail on me (touch wood) in over 10 years of using them.
However I've never used a microSD card in a phone so that might be a different story(?)

I never touch eBay or Amazon Marketplace for memory cards, only trust Amazon direct - very happy to have their customer service to fall back should anything go wrong.

Had a few sandisk cards over the years and only time i've had a problem is when it wouldn't fit in the galaxy s6 i had.. but i eventually put that down to samsung not actually putting anywhere for it to go... other than that they've been fine... hot deal

​I bought a few in a row from my memory and all three had read write corruption issues, all but one got a refund and went Samsung.

but was tempted by this 128 a year ago for my tablet, been fine no problem.

would this be any good in a gopro hero4 or should i be looking for an extreme card ?

Any recommendations if I'm wanting to go higher than 128gb (for FLAC audio etc) for an S7 I'm getting through work next month?

There were a bunch of deals posted three months ago at around £60 for 200gb Sandisk cards but nothing near that ever since unless you go to eBay which is worth avoiding for warranty.

These are a good deal but a waste of time in a phone. By far the easiest and best way is to buy a more expensive phone with extra memory in the first place.

showing £39.94 now.

Wow!

can you run Windows 10 off this

Mine definitely wasn't fake. Many years ago I bought a fake Sony M2 (!) card from a third-party Amazon seller and vowed never to be stung again.

I either buy from Amazon themselves, or My Memory, Moby Memory. Always trusted retailers. I give Amazon Marketplace and ebay a miss unless it's somewhere like 7dayshop, etc.

Also, Sandisk check your serial number and verify your card before granting an RMA - which means fake cards would simply not get replaced. There's lots of discussion about Sandisk MicroSD cards failing and being replaced under warranty out there.

Get a room you two!!!

Really have to question the validity of Sandisk "Failures" on here, given that ive not ever, ever had a single one go - and neither has anyone else i know. This applies to cards ranging from 16 Mb (Yes Megabyte) to 128GB. If sandisk were really that bad, im certain someone i know would have mentioned it.

I would put money on the vast majority of those failed being down to buying a fake card.

Can someone help advise whether these can be used to record videos in 4k using galaxy s7 edge? Thanks

Just bought it 3 days ago. But I use the Primenow voucher to get down to £29.9.

I am a Sandisk doubter, loads of issues in the past with their sd cards, especially in Samsung devices, however I have had this card in my Moto X play for about a month now and it's been spot on, no niggles etc.

That's really helpful thanks Dantesfireplace

I spammed two identical Deals for this offer in the wee small hours, they were definitely after this was posted :smiley:

It's happened to me (posted an Amazon Deal Of The Day and someone had posted it within a minute before me so mine was deleted) - didn't bother me :smiley:

Would this be a decent way to add a little bit of extra memory to my macbook that's very rapidly hitting full?

Never had a problem with SanDisk cards, thanks OP

I find high speed micro SDXC cards unreliable, I've had a couple of Sandisk 32GB's fail, 128GB fail and my 200GB card failed on its first transfer. I've got a few Samsung 64GB micro SD cards which have worked fine so tried a Samsung 128GB card which failed in the first couple of days and its replacement lasted three weeks before failing. A Samsung 32GB micro SD lasted a few months before it also failed.

I have wondered if Samsung are selling fakes as it's happened in the past but from what I can tell they are genuine and the failures are all the same, they initially pass an h2testw report and work without issue but then they go into a failure state where the existing data can be read but nothing else can be. The failures have been in different devices (phones, tablets, cameras etc.) and I've been using different card readers in case one of them is faulty but still getting the failures and normal SD cards have used the same readers without issues.

I've used a similar number of high capacity and high speed full size SD cards and not had one of them fail, I've very rarely had any flash cards fail aside from the garbage smart media cards years ago. I've been wary of returning too many cards to Amazon in case I fall foul of them closing the account as they seem to have with some people.

John

Great price for a 128GB SD card. But doubt the life of such brands would recommend someone like Samsung or Kingston for long lasting sd cards.

Still a hefty percentage on Amazon giving this only ONE star though. Thats worrying.

okay maybe I missed it

I can back you up. I saw both deals.

Just some general advice on the card. BTW I'm the same reviewer on Amazon that's the top review and in the video i've demoed upload and download on the card.

Just double check that when you put the card in your shopping basket that it's sold by SanDisk and not a 3rd party, so as you can be sure to get a genuine one. I tend to go with the normal packaging and not frustration free, so I get the legit one.

I've made a not in my review about corrupt cards. If it just goes wrong you can always return to Amazon, within 30 days i think. If's beyond that. you can go to Sandisk directly. they have at least a 10-year guarantee on the card, just give them the invoice from Amazon ( you can download a electronic one from your account)
Sandisk Warranty EMEA

I submitted this deal at first....can somone please tell me what happened

I am not good with hotukdeals

Thanks

how cld you have posted your deal 3 hours ago? when the system checks (happened to me once so i know) as you try to post yours and then tells you that a similar deal has been place and prompts you to check and make sure the deals are not the same...very curious indeed

The invoice may suffice, it did when I needed to replace my Logitech keyboard. Alternatively you could ask if you could send back a cut up card, ensuring your data isn't usable. No harm in asking.

can I hijack someone else's deal?
How do I do it?

​How do you hijack a deal....is it allowed...

​strange...before I posted this deal I done a search and checked if anyone else posted this deal. I'm still confused

fakes sometimes work temporarily or show up with less actual space on the sdcard, but even with the 10 years guarantee etc i will not return it for an exchange or replacement as will not risk my data stuck on these cards getting in the wrong hands as they test or try to fix the card.

What's that Mr/Mrs/Miss iPhone user? You need to delete a few photos before you can capture that special moment with your children? (that you just missed)

No worries....I got the photo via my Xperia Z5....which now has 128GB of capacity. Sweet!!

direct from amazon? not fulfilled by amazon?
mean sold and fulfilled by amazon
what did they say to you when you told them?
never returned it cause of privacy issue, didnt want to risk my data that was stuck on the sdcard, just got something else
why did you point out a random review rather than your own experience?
The review i posted was indeed not mine as i didnt buy that particular one on sale now but have bought sandisk from amazon before

direct from amazon? not fulfilled by amazon?

dont know why this is voted hot...did any of you read the 83 bad reviews on the amazon page?

especially this one -

Fake
ByMr. Paul M. Simmonson 14 January 2016
Size: 128 GB|Package Type: Frustration-Free Packaging
|Verified Purchase

Clearly what has been received is not as described. Having just upgraded my phone to an LG4 I decided to ramp up the memory. On receipt of the product I was dubious to say the least that the product did not reflect the usual Sandisk packaging I have purchased in the past. Having reviewed the memory this is nothing like 128GB instead produces a mere 23.1 GB. Pretty shocking considering this came in packaging with amazon printed all over it. Pictures attached are proof this is not what is described.

actually thought you were joking around :smiley:
anyhow it was indeed from amazon, i have a drawer half-full with cards and usb drives and other nicknacks bought from amazon over the years that have failed and some fakes too.

I did the same, thought the system would have prevented this. Sorry, please remove mine as well.

Didn't know that about the study. I know I'm one to leave feedback too quickly on eBay to be honest (which ebay want you to do) so does make you think how flawed that system is really.

As you say, each to their own isn't it. I do value others saying about their bad experiences as much as those who state their good ones too. Helps us all make a decision at the end of the day. :smiley:

so... can i take it that means not from amazon?

Yeah it would be nice if amazon listed the seller info with the reviews, but it will never happen, its the same problem with the Q & A section, especially when its questions regarding models, new vs old.

You should be safe with sold by amazon as far as fakes are concerned though.

lol you are funny lol :smiley:

you bought it direct from amazon? :smirk:

or ... SPESHAL UPGRADED 1024TB SD CARD ONLY 1 DOLLA!

my original comment was cautionary and not saying all sandisk are fake, beside everyone can only speak or advice based on their experiences...at the end of the day, each to his/her own choices.

re the 60%, there has been study that state that most ppl do indeed assume that because they have received their item and it looks like what they ordered then it must be okay etc and they then gsimply just leave a positive review straight away and some even before even trying out the item...and yes one can indeed know when they receive the item as this was part of the questions in the study of both ebay and amazon customers/reviewers.

actually it has happened to me too and that why i will never buy sandisk anymore as they are the no1 cards to be faked and fakes.

My comment doesn't suggest there aren't, I'm just saying that the odds are in your favour that it won't happen to you. If we only listened to bad reviews on products, nobody would buy anything. :smiley:

Just saw your edit. Again, your comment was in relation to someone receiving a fake card. Reliability and quality are a different matter entirely. Also, regarding that point, people are more likely to leave bad reviews than good ones. Therefore, there are more likely to be many more happy customers out there. Not sure where your 60% figure comes from because nobody knows when someone could have received it mind and also, Amazon reviews can be updated further down the line should a fault occur.

Sandisk may have reliability issues in comparison to other brands but if it was as bad as people say, they wouldn't still be in business and one of the biggest manufacturers of storage today. I've never had one fail in my experience (famous last words :laughing: ) but that doesn't mean they're all reliable just as your experience doesn't suggest they're all faulty or fake either :smiley:

That sucks that you went through that, but it's from Amazon at the end of the day. They'll happily collect and replace/refund your item if that happens. :smiley:

I knew that by the way...but that doesnt make it not true that fakes are being sold.

and ask for the 1,600 (5*) reviews - there are at least 60% of ppl who leave positive reviews in less that 1 hr after they have recieved an items, so relying on positive reviews is def not the way to go, as not that reliable re quality or reliability, as many positive reviewer are mighty trigger happy!

ERM... Maccy posted BEFORE your apology. If was you who then started by taking that shot at her. Shame some people can't grasp the concept of time, and like to start trouble, only to play the victim when it comes back on them, isn't it. :wink:

Nice deal Chanchi. Heat added. :smiley:

DON'T MISS OUT GUYS :

1 Whole round penny Cashback from Quidco

It almost feels like 128gb is becoming standard now but there's not been much movement in microsd storage capacity in the last year or so. Just noticed Lexar have just released a 200GB card.

Only trust samsung micro sd cards as like other posters here my SanDisk failed too. Great price nonetheless

Heat Added thanks for the deal.

Need one for my Macbook Pro - this will double the HDD space for £35 (with the small adapter).

Great price. Has a heavy user tried one of these in a Samsung Galaxy phone? I killed three 64gb SanDisk's before paying the extra for a quality (Samsung) sd card that has lasted 3 years hard labour and still going strong.

Anyway back to the deal

Happy Monday

You have a good 1 2 reindeer :laughing:

Better get on with my day now see you later and hope the studies go well :smiley:

Trouble maker! :laughing::laughing:

Anyway, last post. Shame some people cant accept an apology and keep it going even in "likes"

No need to explain yourself to Pizza maccy :confused: Pizza is obviously just a troll like dent :laughing:

Have a good day! :smiley:

Heat added Chanchi, great find!

I can't edit posts and I don't know why you're taking it badly tbh, I just answered your reply to me.

So I'll move on and hope you can too and no hard feelings, I really was just trying to see where you were coming from in what you posted.

Thank you for editing my post. Most people would just walk away and not acknowledge a mistake and apologise.

Keep up the like begging.

Stop getting things wrong :man:

So hedgyhoggies comment was wrong. Thank you for clarifying and apologies for the accusation to Chanci.





Stop like begging. :laughing:

I know it's Monday and early ish...but I've just read down and to me HH is informing you that szaman posted the deal after this one and I can't see where HH has even suggested that he, himself, posted the deal? So unless some comments have been removed, I don't know what you're saying.

nice find chanchi, heat added :smiley:

I got the integral 80mbps 128GB for £20 couple of weeks back from mymemory. Nevertheless good deal.

Yep that's what I do - I love stealing :man:

Anyone who know's me, would know it's not something I do

I don't have record of what deals have been submitted but ask a site mod to clarify but sure this was posted 1st

So a site helper has stolen the deal you posted. Why am I not surprised!

Reason enough not to bother.



Should be hedgyhoggys heat.

Is this compatible to record 4k videos with Samsung galaxy 7 edge?

Thanks OP, just bought 2

​it's funny you should say that as I had a lexar card which done the same thing In an s2.. using Samsung cards for 5/6 years now and no issues since! :smiley:.
And who knows it could've been due to a faulty batch from lexar.

Monday morning madness heat added chichi :smile:

price is cool.but just a few phones were able to run a 128GB memory card :man:

His was later by about a minute.

2 bought for the gopro for my Mediterranean Cruise from tomorrow. Thank heaven for amazon primes same day delivery. :smile:

Thanks OP.. Time to say bye to phone with no SD Card facility


Heat added

I used that article when I RMA'd an old card before Christmas, they assured me that issue has since been resolved.

I've since bought a few more newer cards off here plus the new upgraded one from my RMA and they've all been fine, so I'm guessing its cool now.

Makes me laugh though that lots of people had issues using certain cards in Samsung products. I often wonder if these faults were intentional on Samsung's part, seen as they're Sandisk's main competitor in the memory card market and seen as how they would have much to gain by making their competitors cards fail, or look bad. :laughing:

Especially as they have a history of being dirty towards their competitors. Remember when Samsung were caught and prosecuted for paying reviewers to give their competitors products bad reviews .. Very dodgy indeed :laughing:

​Saving downloads and photos to it. The failure rate of the 64gb cards was dreadful, wondering if (hoping) it might have changed.

I thought the issues with the red/silver Sandisk MicroSDs were well known, I was pretty surprised when I started digging. Hopefully they've managed to resolve them with these newer cards. http://www.phonearena.com/news/SanDisk-says-it-produced-some-bad-32GB-and-64GB-microSD-cards_id40986

"Warning: SanDisk SD Cards in Galaxy S4 & S5 and Notes 2 & 3" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GATwDqQMwTE In my case, I was using a Note 2 at the time and a silver/red 64GB Sandisk Ultra MicroSDXC.

Heat from me, have several of these and never had a problem

shame it's Sandisk, i have no faith in their abilities to make a microsd form factor card... been **** too many times... Samsung evo all the way for me... £25 if Samsung, deal! sandisk? save your money and files elsewhere

Corking price. I've went off Sandisk after my 64GB silver/red card failed (though Sandisk replaced it under warranty). I went for a Samsung 128GB a few months back.

Erm, it says "coming soon" on the deals page, although the £25.99 seems reasonable.

Lowest price according to the camels
