Micro SDHC Compatibility

Hi,
This may be a silly question for some but i've searched around and i still cannot find a definitive answer anywhere with regards to micro sdhc cards being used in the samsung galaxy s. If i was to purchase a micro sdhc card am i going to need some form of adapter? I only ask because most places i shop around only sell micro sdhc cards.
It was my understanding that the galaxy s only had a micro sd slot which is what is currently confusing me.
Thanks.

it supports up to 32 GB of microSD
anything larger than 4 GB = SDHC support

Galaxy S supports Micro SDHC.
(Allgamer basically said that, just in a slightly roundabout manner).

I'd like to know (please), whether the device can perform all functionality such as record hd and playback 720p movies over dlna from a class 2 card? I want to order a sandisk 16gb card, but would save the pennies on a class 4, if a class 2 performs well.

you could still get a class 6 16GB cheaper than getting a Class 2 16GB Sandisk, if you buy from other brands like Transcend (excellent), Adata, OCZ, Kingston, etc....

If it helps, I'm using an old class 6 Transcend 8GB. Bought for a micro DVcam (hence the need for class 6) last year and think it was around £10 then - possibly cheaper now?

You can get a 8 GB SDHC from DealExtreme.com for < $20 any day of the week.

Lexar Secure Digital 16GB class 10, 133X
How about this one?
Lexar Secure Digital 16GB class 10, 133X
Tip: SDHC
Size (MB): 16384
Rate (MB/s): 20MB/s
Class 10
Is Lexar a good name for memories?

I am currently using 4 GB Micro SDHC card with SGS.It is my old phones (HTC HD Mini) Micro SDHC card and it is working great.

I just bought this Wintec 16GB class 10 from Newegg.com... now whether it's an actual class 10 that's to be determined cause it's in the mail. But for $30 you at least get 16GB.

anyone try a-data 32gb class 10?
I'm curious if anyone try a-data 32gb class 10?
half the price of other 32gb cards.
the reason I ask is many folks report issues with hd cams.

not that i know of, so far all the confirmed legit SanDisk 32Gb has been Class 2
some places advertise they have Class 4 SanDisk 32Gb microSD but.... the picture and the price listed are those of a Class 2
some people have confirmed the Class 2 SanDisk 32Gb microSD can write 4Mb/s but that was on a new empty disk test
i would like to see some test done on 60% full 32Gb Class 2 SanDisk microSD to see if it can sustain a Class 4 write after half full, being a Class 2

check this review link http://www.testfreaks.com/blog/review/review-of-kingston-class-4-32gb-microsdhc-card/
should buy Kingston or Sandisk 32GB MicroSD for my Samsung GT-i9000 Galaxy S
or any other brand?

How ?? A 720p video at maximum quality usually takes around 1.5 ~ 1.8MBps, so a Class 2 (2MBps guaranteed write speed) in theory should be quite sufficient, at least with my Class 2 cards I haven’t had any trouble recording 720p video.The Sandisk 16GB Class 2 I have can be written to at a minimum constant speed of 8MBps (has around 4Gigs of Data on it already). And the Nokia branded (not sure about the actual brand) 8GB Class 2 which I got with my previous Nokia phone can be written to at 4MBps + (has 7Gigs of Data already). So IMO as long as you go with a name brand you should be able to get more than 2MBps writing speed which should be enough for 720p video.
You might get better speeds when transferring large files to your phone, but how often do you do that ?? And if you do that over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth like I mostly do, it won't matter at all. Spending on anything above class 6 (e.g Class 10) IMO is a total waste of money. I use a class 6 on my DSLR to record 1080p video, haven't had any issues with it so far. So I hardly think Galaxy S can exhaust a Class 6 card, or even a branded Class 2.

video is a secondary use
i use it mainly for applications and data transfer (portable hard drive), the faster the better, the less noticeable lag, and speeds up Titanium Backup quite considerably

The recent batch of SanDisk microSDHC cards (seen here in Brussels in Media Markt and Fnac) has Class 2 marking changed to Class 4 (8, 16 and 32GB). They have exactly the same packaging down to part numbers. That's mine for example: http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e62/ping_ling/android/microsdhc.jpg

Micro SD Card

Hi there as we start to get ready for the purchase of our new 3D Phone.
what Micro sd cards will you be buying class 2,4,6,10 and capacity and which brand and from who.

at least class 6...
brands like kingstone,sandisk,trascend etc

sandisk 16GB

keeping all that in mind we need the best price I was thinking a 16 or 32gb not sure on class, but best price is a deff

These guys have some of the best prices in the EU:
http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Micro-SDHC?filters=size:16384#allProducts
Got a 16GB sandisk class 4 that has been tested to run at class 6 read and almost 6 at write.
Now there is a sale on integral, kingston and sandisk, all at class 4.
Keep an eye open they may get something better...

Does anyone know if Lexar Micro SD Cards are any good?

Lexar are maybe the best memory avaiable.
I bought a Mustang 16gb class10
done some test:
18-20mb/s read
15-17mb/s write
so fast

If you can recommend the Mustang Cards i think i'll try one as well as they are really cheap compared to other cards (~35€ for 32GB instead of 45€-60€). Will get the 32GB though.

yes i have one olso on my digital camera and 0 problems

I have an ADATA 32GB SDHC class 4 but when connected via USB cable in mass storage mode the write speed stays below 300KB/s.
If I place the card in a USB adapter the writing speed is about 4,6MB/sec.
What is the problem? Thanks!

Doesn't the PSP run on Memory Stick's rather than SD cards?

Am using A-Data 8GB class 4, it works fine (both stills and video is being smoothly recorded) so i dont see any reason why to pay more for better (faster) class

[Q] Best SD card for sensation?

Hey guys, I just got my sensation yesterday! YAY So happy with it so far.
But can any of you guys recommend me which micro SD card is the best for sensation? I am looking to get 32GB.
I heard it will make the apps lag if the SD card is not very compatible with the phone? Any idea guys? Please help me. Thank you.

someone here mentioned that sensation only reads/writes upto class 4...so i guess it wouldn't really matter if u get a higher class
but u may end up using the card for something else like a camera. so it doesn't hurt to get a higher class

So what is the highest class available now? What brand do you recommend? Thanks for the reply!

Take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072839

i've had a class 2, 16GB sandisk for 2.5 years on my Touch Pro 2 with no problems at all.

I ordered this today. My 8GB is already half full after a day so I need bigger.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211519

I'd highly recommend the Lexar 32GB Class 10 card.

Complete rubbish.
The official specification for Class 10 is a read speed of 10MB/s and a write speed of 10MB/s.
The official specification for Class 4 is a read speed of 4MB/s and a write speed of 4MB/s.
(sorry if that was stating the obvious, but I don't think some people realise)
The benchmarks for my Lexar 32GB Class 10 card in my Sensation (using "SD Tool" from the Android Market) are a read speed of 21.4MB/s and a write speed of 8.3MB/s (taken from an average of 4 tests).
So the Sensation doesn't quite meet Class 10, but it's much faster than Class 4 and 6.

I use the card "Patriot 32Gb MicroSDHC 10 class" in my phone. Speed record over the phone - 10,5 Mb/s, reading speed - 18 Mb/s.

What Micro SD card are you using?

So I'm in the market for a new SD card, I'm currently using the 8GB C4 that came with the phone, but it currently has less then 100MB of space on it. (Filled with music, photos, etc).
I'm interested in getting a 32 GB Micro SD card, as I can almost easily fill that up too . But I'm stuck between the cheaper C4, and the slightly more expensive C10 version.
I know that the C10 would allow me to transfer data from my PC 6MB's faster then a C4, but is that the only difference? I've seen some people mention video recording would be smoother, and others have said that's wrong. Would it be better to save myself $10-$12 and just get the slower C4 instead? And is there certain cards that are known NOT to work with the Inspire?
Thanks and Merry Christmas!

As long as you stay away from the junk that is often on ebay, you should be good to go. It's not just the write speed that's faster, the read also increases. And the price often isn't that much different between the C4,C6, and the C10. Just watch for sales. Example: local Fry's will have the 32g Samsung C10 on sale for $36.

I bought a sandisk 32gb micro sd card from Amazon 3 weeks ago for about $34. It works great for me and being on a buget to price wasn't to shabby either.

yes, higher the class the higher the speed. there is no 'official' standard for what each class is supposed to be, because it varies based on manufacturers. Anything class 2 and above can do 720p video recording.

Lexar class 10 from Amazon, 55. Bucks.
so far so good, the speed difference is noticeably faster than the SanDisk c4 I took out

Sandisk 32GB Class 4

Which SD card?

Can someone tell me which is the highest class of SD card,which will b fully used by Desire S
And is there noticeable drop in performance of the phone between full 16gb and 32gb?
Thanks

Imo class 10 is the fastest SD-Class.
I'm using a 16Gb class 10 card and it's really fast.
32Gb card was (for me) too expensive...

Class 10 is the fastest micro SD card for now, but the htc engineer does not suggest that we use it because it could lead to some unknown error.
Class6 is enough.
32GB is supported by Desire S.
The purchase of the brand, Samsung is not a good choice because their indicators are virtual.
That's my personal opinion,just for reference.

I moved from a 16g class 4 to a 32g class 6 card, everything runs smoothly and didn't really notice any drop in performance.

average read speed 11.4 Mo/s
Maybe I was lucky - but I'm happy with it

Sandisk 32GB class 10 or Kingston
When you test a lot of roms (as beta tester), different tools or apk skinned, you need some space and faster w /rw
You could find this class of sdcard not really expensive, you must search a little.

i think people are exaggerating with these SD card classess.. my advice is that class4 and a quality brand should be enough for everyone. in fact you can have a class10 card from a noname manufacturer and the actual speed is same as class4 and a good brand. good brands are all that actually manufacture the chips. they are toshiba and sandisk/samsung. if you buy a sony, nokia or similar, you also buy those mentioned before, only rebranded. there is much written about this on the web, but in general: if you can't afford a 16gb class10 sandisk and they are trying to sell you same spec kingston for half of this price, it does mean something!
