You mean like a credit card? Lol, I didn't mean purchase it from Amazon, although I sure made it seem that way didn't I? No, I just posted that so you can see the model I was talking about and the approximate price of it. That's one I recommend.

I'm 99% sure that a 64gb card will work with the Gateway. You may have to do some workarounds, and not even be able to use all 64gb, but it should work. No reason to get a 32gb then a 64gb later down the road when you can get the 64gb now.
Every person I've asked on here and other forums gives me the same answer, buy your card from a reputable retailer, preferably not online to avoid fakes. There are TONS of fake cards out there, most of them on ebay and other shady retailers. Even some people on Amazon claim to get fake cards from Amazon, not a 3rd party seller.
I'm usure if GW supports 64gb since there have been people post that it doesn't work and some claim they are using a 64gb card right now.

default format for SDXC (up to 64gb) is exFAT and has different architecture, people that says is compatible i don't think is the real deal.
By the way Buying a SD Card with UHS-I techonology imho is waste of money, the 3DS wont read GateWay 3DS at 60~100mb/s
Another thing. You guys should ask to gateway the max speed that the gateway flashcart reads the SD card...
By the way read speed only makes difference it supports UHS techonology, because will read up to 40mb/s.. but THIS if the flashcart/3DS actually supports.
If not, wont make any difference buying a class 4... a good Class 4 SD can read as fast as a class 10....
Understand, the CLASS of a SD Card is to determinate its speed for its Writing, not Reading.
The only notable difference is with Fake SD cards that usualy are slowers, a hardware with UHS support(need a SD with UHS techonology tho)
OR if the device you're using is to write data.
I dont think the gateway flashcart writes anything to the SD Card. No problem buying a class 4 that is much cheaper, and usualy people think is fake by its price lol
But if it could supports UHS would be for sure better buying it...
edit:
If you'll use for High-end photographic hardware, or wanna use in a near future for your smartphone it's ok tho,
but remember that only few cellphones supports SDXC and UHS techonology, old photographic hardware also.
I don't know why people don't look around about what they're buying. The worst is when they say:
"My smartphone isn't reading fast!" lo l clichê

True, the "class" of the card isn't really that relevant with flash cards, the ultra high speed etc are for super fast transfers, which would be handy for say photographers with dslr cameras where taking lots of pictures quickly would need the transfer rate to be spot on or they will be stuck waiting for images to transfer to SD before taking the next shot, but when it comes to loading roms etc you will be talking about seconds difference if anything at all.
It might be handy if your copying like 20gb of games over but it's still not going to mean much difference when playing, even playing games from class 2 seems pretty much the same as retail.

Careful on ebay cheap = counterfeit
I ordered a sandisk 64GB ultra for 24 bucks. The counterfeit was horrible the stick on the adapter wasnt close to straight and the card itself was painted and the paint was chipping off. Not only was it chipping but the letters weren't even straight. Have to say the packaging looked good though

xD the cards most cloned are SanDisk and Kingston. always when you're buying from those companies you need to be extra careful...
I have a fake Kingston class 2 (bought proposital to test) it works fine, besides its faulty performance (more or less 9% slower than the original)
Commoner,
You're making tests with computer lol... By the way you're not using UHS techonology since is only writing 10mb/s and reading slowly.
An example of real benchmark
is kinda hard to find benchmarks for recent Micro SD Cards (the first isnt for microSD, and those 2 pics are from different tests...Random read and sequential) but also works anyways. the second is quite old lol but is to show how to "read" doesnt makes difference, as long as your hardware supports UHS that gateway does not.
If you notice SanDisk Mobile Ultra Class 4 (older version) reads faster than any class 10.
Then, as i said, deppends the sd card you bought. not just the class, and the first pic shows more recent cards, that if you notice there will be no diff at all with the classes for SDHC
Yup, I neglected to update my USB3 drivers before I did the benchmarks. I have updated the drivers since then and both the Read Speeds and Write speeds of the Class 10 cards (both UHS-I and non UHS-I) I have tested were significantly faster.
This oversight doesn't really matter for the purposes of the test though since the Toshiba 8 GB Class 4 benchmarks still returned around 20 MBps read result with the new drivers. Since the results of the speed test was that loading speeds of games on the Gateway Red Cart does not improve beyond this speed, it doesn't really matter if the ADATA 16 GB Class 10 UHS-I was listed with speeds which are lower than they should have been.
If I remember correctly though the ADATA came out at about 45 MBps Read Speed when using the updated drivers.
Write speeds are irrelevant when it comes to loading up the games since nothing is written to the MicroSD itself when loading.
The best resources I have found for getting a grasp of the performance differences between higher end SD and MicroSD cards is this article in which they benchmark 49 different products.

I don't visit her often and I'm kind of busy right now, but I'll leave a few tips.
I'd recommend checking Slickdeals regularly for a MicroSD deal, or checking DealExtreme for a cheap source. I haven't had issues with DX.
The points about MBps read speed and interesting points, here. I'll have to refer to this thread once I get a flash cart.

A 64GB card will currently work with Gateway. I'm talking about when (if) multirom comes out. I'll test it myself if it ever arrives.
I think the history of this thread speaks for itself. There is no "best" micro SD for Gateway. There is just brands you should stay away from.
Talking about cards I was going to order this one next week from the UK. Would it work and be OK for GW:-

Well, looking at the only other page in this thread, I would say yes based on mznova's post.

Thats OK then. As it is a UK based specialist in memory cards I am presuming that it will be legit. I was going to go with the cheaper 32GB Transcend card cause I thought that would of done just fine but then I had second thoughts about it and seen as though there are some major big games coming up on the 3DS I thought they would probably have big files attached with them so I had a change of mind and decided on the 64.
Good call. Cheap memory is sketchy at best. I'd rather pay a little more for the peace of mind. Especially in the flashcart scene. I'm rockin' a 16GB SanDisk Ultra and have nothing but praise for it thus far. Been using it for ~6 months.
