Two 8GB Class 6 Samsung MicroSDHC Cards for under $8 shipped @Bens Outlet

Quote from sunrag1 : I got them once from 1saleaday but worked fine for 2 weeks only... 2$ gone...

If I remember correctly, the $2 offer was limited to a quantity one (1). I tried to buy several and they subsequently cancelled the extras. Otherwise, $4 is the cheapest I have seen for these cards.

Even at $4 a card, this is an excellent deal. Samsung makes quality flash memory and tend to rate conservatively. I have benchmarked this against others brands and found that it is just as fast or faster than many class 10 memory (GSkill, Transcend, Sony and even SanDisk Ultra).

In for 2. 4 of these should be good for 4 raspberry pi boxes to experiment with!

Thanks!

The drive clone hardware for $35 on the site (1% left) is a pretty good price & is usb 3.0. Picked up one as well.

So are these a good price or not? I noticed these are Class 6. Are these fast?

I've done price research and the best price I could find was 16 GB Class 10 SDHC with SD Adapter for $10

Yeah, because (a) they're Samsung, and (b) they're waterproof/shockproof.

For those who want to use it to install CM10 for Nook Color/Tablet/HD and HD+.

These cards seem to have poor 4K writing performance, which will cause lag in the UI.
If you are not going to use the MicroSD card for this purpose, they are perfectly fine.

I've purchased several of these same cards from 1 Sale a Day and they're great cards. Don't need any more at the moment, but thanks for the heads up anyway. Repped!

$0.50/GB of a name brand micro SDHC is very good.

Class 6 is only slow for things like tablets. For cameras or data storage or anything else they're excellent.

For those tablets which use SD card to run Android, it requires fast 4K writing performance.

Many Sanddisk class 4 cards can achieve 1MB/second 4K writing performance. Most of other cards only can achieve 0.1MB/s or even lower than that. Usually lower class has faster 4K writing performance.

i think these $2/$4 ones are fake but they work fine.
