Inexpensive SD Cards

Postby lamawithonel » Tue Apr 13, 2010 1:30 pm

Does anybody know of a good place to buy cheap, 32GiB, Class 6 SD cards? The best I've found so far is about $78USD each at http://www.supermediastore.com/category ... 3DClass+6|

The general rule when it comes to SD cards (and other flash memory) is that if the price is too good to be true, it's probably fake. I can't be certain, but $78 for a 32GB Class 6 sounds too good, considering I recently got a 16GB Class 4 for $45 (double the capacity for less than double the price doesn't seem right, not to mention the bump in class). The last section of this article (the heading in bright red) tells more and links to some more comprehensive resources.

Yeah, I know. I found several on ebay for much less than the one I quoted, and others from smaller sites. The one I quoted, however, has a decent rating on froogle (why did they change the name again?) and a few other consumer sites.

I know big name brands like SanDisk and Kensington go for close to $200USD. Maybe a better question is what's the going rate for quality, off-brand chips?

I have done business with supermediastore.com for years, and always received EXACTLY what was advertised. Never have I had them substitute anything of lesser quality, and everything I have purchased there has met or exceeded expectations. I would not hesitate to order from them. Additionally, A-Data and Ridata are both brands that have been around for years. I own several A-Data SD cards and have experienced no problems with them.

I'm not sure where you live, but you could get good price if you buy from Canada!
