Hi
I want to buy a microSD card for my fathers new 640. I read the article in here.....and I am still a bit confused. The prices for these cards vary a lot, so dont want to buy one thats too expensive.

I found a Toshiba 64GB class 10, uhs 1, 40MB/sec card, that is cheaper than everything else I saw. Will that do?

I read here that the internal bus on the 640 only is 25MB/sec, so the speed should be alright, right? :)

thx

I wouldn't be picky with any card as long as its decently specc'ed like that and it has a solid warranty.

Thank you xandros9, that was helpful! I was surprised those cards could be so expensive, I thought they all would be dead cheap :)

like most things, you get what you pay for.

cards aren't too pricey, but once you get up in the higher capacities, it really goes up.
The dead cheap ones, are things to be cautious about. More risk, but when they're legit, its a great deal.

Best Buy has well reviewed Class 10, 32GB cards for $15.99 and 64GB for $29.99 (seems like it was $24.99 earlier in the week). Hard to go wrong at those prices.
