Kingmax 16GB (Class 10) MicroSD card for 38$

Ok, guys.
If you're looking for a MicroSD card with high storage capacity... I've got you a bargain.
Kingmax 16GB (Class 10) MicroSD card.
You can buy it here.

I used the free benchmarking utility “HD Bench” to test the speed, these were the results I acquired. Now I did use an USB adapter, which may have decreased the speed a small bit.

Pretty good speed!

Not only is this spam, but it's way overpriced.

Hi magickman, thanks for the link.
I am not familiar with that site, is it good?
Do they also sell microSD cards?

More expensive + only class 2, sorry but I think my deal is better.

You aren't familiar with Frys? Are you stoned? D:

Here's a good deal. I've bought 3 of these and they've been rock solid and very fast. Class 10 16GB microSD for $19 w/ free 2 day shipping from the egg.

Sandisk class 2's are generally as fast as or faster than most 2nd tier Class 10's.

If you're not buying a Sandisk, you're more than likely buying junk.

I've bought it myself already... and I can assure you it isn't junk...
Thats also why I made the review, it's genuine class 10.
Class 2 cards are always about 2mb/s, those are the requirements to get that marking on your sd card, if you buy a class 10 card and the read/write speed is about 10mb/s, it's genuine. It wouldn't make any sense for Sandisk to advertise a class 10 SD card as a class 2 SD card...

They don't... their class 2 cards simply out-class (pun intended) pretty much every other vendor's higher end cards. I have several Sandisk class 2's that bench out between 6-8mb/sec write and 10+mb/sec read. There's a large thread over on XDA (which would likely be more interested in your ramblings anyway) regarding Sandisk class 2's.

That said, having dealt with Kingmax before, they do make some quite aggressive products. Given the price, however, and having to deal with DX's insanely-stupidly-slow import shipping, this is hardly a hot deal. Except maybe for you European folks.

Edit: That said - a quick search on Amazon finds many many class 10 16gb MicroSD cards for under $30, including a Lexar High-Speed series (12mb/sec write, 20mb/sec read) for $22.

Haven't heard from Kingsmax in a long time. Not since the DDR1 days.
