I'm looking to upgrade my class 4 card as I'm switching to a Rom with d2ext. I was going to get a class 10 card but have heard mixed reviews on them and there expensive.
So I'm now after a class 6. Has anyone got any opinions on this, http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B001IAMME8/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1297897522&sr=8-1
I've heard that the Transcend and Wintec cards are the same. If that is true, I've heard the Wintec cards are decent with apps2sd, but I've not yet heard any reviews of data2ext/sd/whatever
Thank you, any other views?
Not entirely on topic, but I used a 32GB class 10 kingston with data2ext roms and they all became unstable and laggy after a short while.
Now I'm using ReflexTSense 1.8 LITE A2SD+ version and it is running smooth as never before. Incredible!
No lags when installing apps, and I can play higher bitrate movies
Or any views on this?

I've got this one but cheaper version (costed me about 25 pounds). Difference is only red ugly looking USB adapter wich is useless for me any way:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/16GB-AData-...1_fkmr2_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1297928074&sr=1-1-fkmr2
and can recommend this further.
Working on StarBurst smoothly. No lags, F/Cs, reboots at all.
Any link to the one you got?
I have currently got a 8gb class 4. I have done a test with http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2...standard-in-detecting-usb-counterfeit-drives/
I got 4.79 writing speed and 18.5 reading speed so im looking for a card better than this.
What kind of link you need? Benchmark? Retail?
Full benchmark is in topic "Does desire sports class 10 card?"

I'm thinking about buying a 16gb microsd class 6 card. Will the 6 really make a difference from a class 4 on the eris though? Once they get that fast can the eris really keep up or will it just be excess speed for nothing? Also, I'm guessing a 32gb c6 is out of the question? As far as brands go, are there any that I have to avoid. I'm looking to buy a cheap one from one of those ebay sellers in china with the free shipping. Is this a bad idea? Will it not work with the eris? Thanks.
A lot of money for not a ton of improvement. If you use apps2sd it'll matter more but not hugely.
I use a class 4 8gb Kingston with no problems at all, didn't see the point in buying an exspensive class 6. That and a2sd works great on a class 4
This is a cheap yet quick class 6: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208453

Two worthless posts, dude. You didn't explain, you only gave an opinion, but I'm afraid you're wrong and your uninformative posts didn't warrant reviving two dead threads just to get your post count up.
There are most definitely speed differences between different classes of SD cards.
Next time, think before you post.
I've used 3 cards. The SD card that came with the phone (8GB Class ?), a SanDisk 8GB Class 2 card (from Best Buy for ~$40), and an A-Data 8GB Class 6 card (from Frys for ~$25). The Class 6 card is MUCH quicker in day to day use. Launching most apps (on SD card) is noticeably quicker than the system apps stored on the phone for example. Comparing card to card is night and day as well! The original card was similar in speed to the SanDisk one, but the A-Data card seems about 2-3x faster. Viewing images in the gallery is also much quicker with no lag of loading a picture of relatively high quality.
Summary: There is a noticeable difference! A friend has a Class 4 card and it feels slower but seems to be closer to the Class 6 end than it is to Class 2. That isn't to say it's slow/bad, but it isn't as fast, especially in gallery.

Fact is.... it makes a difference depending on what you do. here are my tests after buying a class 10 16GB from amazon:
KingMax 16GB class 10:
Writing speed: 13.8 MByte/s
Reading speed: 16.6 MByte/s
SanDisk 8GB Class 2:
Writing speed: 6.56 MByte/s
Reading speed: 17.4 MByte/s
I used the following program to test directly from the SD card slot on my laptop, not from the eris:
Program on PC: H2testw.
my camera app takes pictures a tad faster, I assume due to the write speed to the SD card. Other than that I dont use the SD card for much else besides storing and looking photos and playing music. I dont use app2sd.

wow this made me go ahead and wanting to buy the A-Data 8GB Class 6 SDcard
so you say ~$25? I just saw on newegg they were selling for $12.99 w/ free shipping
A-DATA Turbo 8GB Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash Card Model TurboSD SDHC 8G
would that be the correct model you have?
I got it at Fry's a couple of months ago so it may have dropped a bit.
And yes, it is.
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:

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.

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.
I am looking at either a Lexar or Samsung both class 10, both around £37.
any advise as to which one is best based on anyone using.
The other question is do you need to format before use?
At the moment I have a 16gb but it is 98% full. Never chenged a card before was planning to copy the old card into a folder on laptop and then back onto the new card.
Any advise welcome,,,,,,,,
Go with transcend. If they have 32gb class 10.
They only do a 16gb class 10. I looked for Transcend first as I prefer this brand.....

I like transcend more than anything else.
I never had luck with transcend, i have a sandisk 32 gig which works great,
i had a kingston 32 class 10 within a few weeks it just burnt out on me it stop reading and wouldnt want to format or anything
I'm also looking for a 32gb micro sdhc for my HTC Vogue. I currently have a Sandisk 16gb that is nearly full. Earlier today I stumbled onto this thread from here at XDA...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1150369
I found it quite helpful. I hope you do too.
I was surprised that class 10 cards weren't the best choice for the things I use my Vogue for.
Here is a passage that surprised me...
"Class 2 and 4 cards have better random access speed and random read/write than class 6 or 10 cards in general. To get higher sequential write speeds, manufacturers sacrifice the random access speeds.".
I would agree with Random read/write access might be better in Class 4 cards than Class 10...
But arent we forgetting that most of the applications are read more than Written when u open it.. I think a faster read speed with lower write speed would still be better than having lower read/write all together...Not unless you are downloading a torrent in background and running HD game with it... infact in that situation.. both cards will fail badly..
I prefer Sandisk.
A class 4 should generally give proper performance... 10 seems a bit overkill imho.
I've used the 8GB class 4 memory card that came with the Sensation for a while, and after switching to a 32GB class 10 Lexar I must say - it DOES make a difference. It's a totally different experience.
Been using SAMSUNG ESSENTIAL 32GB MicroSD for more than 2 months without issues. It has helped me to parallely download videos from tubemate in high speeds. Good writing and reading speeds. No slowdowns/jatter in 1080P recording which iam always using to cap my child.
Just bought a 32GB Class 10 Samsung card from play.com for £34.99. Working great so far!
I got the 16GB SD card for two reasons
1. The 16GB has a faster write speed.
2. I didn't have $90 to spend on the 32GB.

Oh also I did not pat $55 for the 16GB

Copied a film over to it via usb last night and was getting 11.6 mb/s. Haven't tested with the card in a reader but would probably be faster even still.

Hi
So I've just installed ICS on my N1 and finally the graphical interface has become properly smooth. But that ment repartitionning, which in turn ment I needed to use app2sd. But opening apps now feels slower than before, and I believe the app2sd solution is the problem. I am currently using the 4GB card (class 2?) that I think came with the phone, but new cards are dirt cheap so if anyone knows a card that will be substantially faster I would be interested. The main consern is random access speed I believe, so I feel looking at the rating (class 10 and whatnot) is no use. I was looking at a sandisk mobile ultra card based on this review: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/microsdhc-memory-card-performance,3011-12.html
And I am probably going to buy a 16GB card, maybe 8 or 32 if there is a really good one of those. Any recommendations?
While you're at it, does our Nexus One support UHS-1 cards like this?

Not that I really know the answer, but it seems highly unlikely. The cards should work in the phone, but you will probably not be able to use the UHS mode (increased clock-frequency).

To answer my own question:
I found this thread, which was quite informative, although full of jabber in between the good posts. And it seems in general the cards with the lowest rated speed perform the best for these purposes, and your safest bet is the sandisk standard class 4 (previously class 2) cards. The samsung class 10 card seems to be a good allrounder, and gives twice the sequential speed at the cost of half the random access speed(this is still more than 10 times higher than most class 10 cards). So I'm probably going to get the sandisk card just to be safe.
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.

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!
