just go Google Samsung sd cards. flash memory sadly Korean are pretty good and so far qc is quite good.

i don't trust korean published/sponsored/involved result.

you see how many euro4 hyundai taxi around, most of them are farting black smoke. how did they get euro4 certified?
i guess either they paid alot of 'sponsorship' to euro, or the sample they send for certification is the only 1 that can pass.

 

[leonaheidern]

is memorex a korean or a taiwan brand

thats the card in my phone.

I agree with you on this. Korean products or cars will never as good as the Japanese cos they themselves are never as refine like the Japanese so it applies to their products too.

Their car engine technology are not as good so have to copy from the Japanese or European but engine not refine and very rough so the engine will not last as long as Japanese engine.

I have a Korean car and Japanese car, my Korean car starts to have major problems at about 3 years but my Japanese car only have minor problems at about 5 years so you know which is more reliable.

If the final price is the deal price at $55, it's worth it.
Sorry not very familiar with qoo10

Go to settings> Accounts > Google > Location Settings > Let google apps access your location

Really no regrets getting my xperia z after seeing so many complaints about the features in s4 being useless and it heating up to 36 degree

No matter how good the card look better or perform better. Most of the time its inside the phone. As long it does its job well. Speed shows difference in the transfer files from phone to PC/ PC to phone. internal transfer speed is not much quicker.

I used a Samsung hdd, have rma-ed before. Sad..

Whaa liao HDD cannot be compared to flash lei.....

 

[N3wXTyp3]

What is rma-ed? Samsung HDD is the worst, I don't even consider this brand when buying HDD.

It was good... for the price. Haha

We must compare Apple to Apple.

Most of the good flash chips came from Korea which they are widely use by Good Brands... that is why they have a good support.

I am not sure are you all into PC. Samsung SSD is top 3 most reliable SSD....

I used to look at them with a glare... but past few years... it is proven over and over again.

I don't like to bash brand and country. If that particular product is good, I will say it is good. If they are bad, I will say they are bad.

There are always balances somewhere which we must recognised and respect it.

I believe Xperia Z internal flash is Samsung made.

HDD manufacturing is more complex than NAND / DRAM. How do you justify your own statement about Samsung SSD is top 3?

Honestly speaking, the quality of the NAND chips are not really the issue for SSD. There are pretty high read/write cycle rated NAND chips used by the major SSDs nowadays.

The problem lies with the quality and the abilities of the network controllers found on the SSD.

A while back, the top SSDs all dependent on Sandforce which was arm-twisted by Intel because the latter helped to fix a major firmware issue but due to cross licensing issues (i believe), Sandforce was unable to roll out patches to its other SSD makers.

of course the entire production process of putting together the HDD is more complex than producing the NAND chip. For constructive purpose, do consider comparing to the process of producing a SSD instead. Which in any case by simple reasoning of # of moving parts, the HDD is more complex to produce than the SSD.

For e.g. SSD makers buy NAND chips from either 1st or 2nd source suppliers but HDD makers have to produce their own platters inhouse using sputtering.

Yes you right. But the problem is now long can the chip last.

I not interested in Speed since every controller is different.

Samsung and Curcial Controller is by far the most stable and constant.

SF I am not sure but under Intel sure is safe ( I smell something fishy here) LOL

Will only buy things I trust, since tested with LOL.

Well explained!
Add on, I not sure but Toshiba used to have very good NAND chips... but recently they are pretty slient.
