You beat me to it... I was gonna post a similar post... LOL
Actually if someone could point out the differences in the classes and which one is "recommended" on the DHD?? I would also like a 16Gig...
And how to check what class I have on the DHD now?
Cheers!
I can answer The class thing the higher the class the faster it reads and writes which it recommends nothing below a class 4 for hd video recording at present in got a 16gb class 6 works great just wanting more space

And how do I know what class is my SD?

yeah true would make it harder to now if you getting real deal, probly only way to know your getting what you ask for is import from a decent website. but you can always test the class of sd card by it transfer speed on pc as a class 6 should be able to transfer at around 6mb/sec if im right. but can your pc read/write at 6mb/sec i know mine can't lol
I'm pretty sure mine does... an i7

I have a 32gb class 4 and its perfect for everything, not noticed any slow-downs and HD recording is fine. I couldn't find any class 6 when I was looking but no regrets getting a 4, will transfer a mp3 album in a few seconds (if that's any measure). Cost me £56. It's by integral

The class shows the minimum read/write speed of the card as shown below
Rating Read (Mb/s) Write (MB/s) Class
13× 16.0 2 2
26× 32.0 4 4
40× 48.0 6 6
66× 80.0 10 10
It is possible that a Name brand class 6 card, could out perfom a no name class 10 card as the speeds are minimum, I would tend to avoid anything slower than class 4 as it MAY introduce lag involving SD read/write operations
To those who have 32gb cards, what brands are they?
Contemplating between transcend and sandisk. transcend is a bit cheaper though. I just dont know anyone who can vouch for transcend.
I bought one from MyMemory.co.uk, just their own branded ones was about £52 class 4 couldn't be happier with it

On looking up the official standards of MicroSD cards http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdhc/ it only talks about differences in speed ratings such as class 2, class 4 ect. So I assume that HTC are advertising the Desire HD as only supporting class 2 MicroSD cards. I would like to know if anyone can confirm if using the USB cable to transfer data to a PC is actually getting faster speeds using a higher class MicroSD card than class 2 standards?
HTC isn't saying that the DHD supports class 2 only it just doesn't specify. (the micro-sd 2.0 thing is completely different to what you're thinking about the 2.0 means it supports micro-SDHC not that it supports class 2 only. and about the speed difference, I have a class 2 8GB micro-SDHC and that writes at 2MB/s and reads at 4MB/s, a class 4 16GB that writes at 4MB/s and reads at 5MB/s, and finally a class 10 32GB that writes at 12MB/s and reads at 15MB/s. (All tested on my Desire HD) So there is a HUGE difference between classes 2 , 4 and 10 when copying through USB.
Hello,
what class 10 32GB do you have?
best regards huggy
It's a Kingston. I would tell you the model number but I chucked the rubbish away.
I bought a Toshiba 16gb class 4 and I am completely satisfacted in comparison with the stock (samsung) ! It's faster and more reliable !!!

Hey. .. I am using a HTC desire. .rooted. .for almost a year now.. here's my biggest problem. I have been using Transcend 16gb CLASS 2 card. . Which is very slow. And I need to to buy a new card.. I was wondering if I should
Buy a class6 card or a class 10.. how much would the performance be affected. .moreover. . Which company is better transcend ..SanDisk. .or anything else.. ?!
Please help.

the best purchase atm is: Samsung micro SDcard class 10 - good price, good quality, very fast
Go for a class 10. I really notice a difference using my SLR camera when I swap between a Class 6 and the 10 - the 10 being way faster.

Class 10 all the way. I have a class 10 and it's slow, I wonder how slow will a lower class be.
I use class 10 cards in my DSLR, and would normally recommend them, however after installing CM7 on a microSD for my mother's nook color everything I read said your better getting a SanDisk class 2 than anything else, even in class 10. Apparently there is not a good standard for rating cards. I would recommend looking up specific benchmarks and choose from them.

I would not suggest a class 2 card as Android has issues reading it due to it being too slow. I have used class 4 and class 10 and I can feel a huge difference in the read and write speed.

Careful when buying sandisk especially online. There are some bad apolss out there selling improperly marked sd cards which say class 10 but really are just class 2.
Well Class 2 guarantess you 2MB/s, Class 6 6MB/s and Class 10 10MB/s.
6 is enough, 10 is better, see what you can afford.
Probably a tradeoff between speed and space.
Check how much space you really need.
Is it class so important?
I mean..when you have a class 4 isn't just enough for a smartphone?
Same thought. I have an 8GB class 4 SD card and i feel fine with it.

For just having media files on there, probably.
If you start putting apps to be run from there, you wan't as much speed as possible.
I think it much more depends on your ROM, not your external card. I have installed my apps on the ext2 partition and it does not appear to have any differences.

I havent noticed any differences between class 6 and class 10.
From personal experience, the speed of the card makes a big difference for the Desire because of all the app2sd games.
As someone mentioned before, brand and the store are also very important.
I bought a Lexar class 6 16GB and quite happy with it.
Make sure to do proper alignment on it.

I was thinking of this link coming into this thread, it needs to be a forum-wide sticky. For a camera, a class 10 would most definitely be required. But for Android, there does not seem to be a consensus.
Good luck
you should buy a class 10 dude samsung or another
Go for a class 10. If you aim for sales and such, you can get one for the normal price of class 6 cards.
Which SSD cards will work with and are best suited for the Desire S?
At the moment I have a 2Gb Scan disk that came with the phone and I want to get a 32Gb if preferable but want better speeds.

It isn't an SSD (Solid-State Disk) card - it is a microSD card. HUGE difference
From experience - and what I seem to remember being posted here before - there is no real point in going above a Class 6 card. I am running a Sandisk 32GB Class 4 and it is more than good enough for storage, music, photos etc.

Have a search through the DS forums as I can't be bothered to do it for you. I seem to remember that anything faster than a Class 6 is wasted as the DS can't actually read/write any faster than that.

It is pointless to have such cards in a phone, who needs to handle small files randomly. Class 10 and 6 are designed to write/read large files quickly (photography).

You can have upto 32 GB..
The more the class,the better the speed and performance.
Buy atleast nothing below class 4..
and costs from Rs.200 to 2000 or even more..

The largest class is the class 10. (Class: 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10).
You need to purchase Micro SD Card.
The rest is all up already answered.
Our fit supports SD cards up 2 32gb of capacity. but it will definitely decrease d speed.2 avoid this choose 16 GB SD card. Remember, 4 higher speed u need a class 10 SD card!

More the class, more speed will be for read/write things in SD card. Such that when you want to copy 50MB file in SD card or from SD card, class 10 SD cards copies faster than Class 6 or Class 4. Similar is the case in reading data. I guess, you got the point.

there isn's any difference in the writing speed for the same class sd cards of different companies. i'll also suggest you class 6 to be on the safer side. hit thanks if this helped

Actually I would recommend a class 6 or 10, the price difference isn't that great anyway. The speed is well worth the price increase.

You may as well get a class 6 or higher. It's not like they're pricey and they'd do a better job for you in the end. Instead of looking for the minimum of what will work, look instead for what does the job best.

The class IS the speed. The only difference between companies is their quality control. Sandisk has the best quality control, so you're slightly less likely to get a defective stick from them. Its really not a major difference in either case.

the class is a standard set by the SD association. any card classified as a class 4 should be the same/similar to other brands of class 4.
the only exception to this are the fakes (of which many abound on ebay)

I know they make decent ram for pc's, but never tried their memory cards. If their ram is anything to go by i'd say they're alright.

Hi, I would recommend SanDisk Ultra 32 GB SDHC Class 10 Flash Memory Card 30MB/s . Its the best.
yes, but it's much more expensive,
I think I will go for transcend 8 class 4 for 8$ or transcend 16G class for 16$
thanks
I would say that u get strontium card...
I hav been using their 32gb & 64gb card for last 4 months...
No issues till date...
Strontium manufacturers the card which many mobile manufacturer themselves use as the internal memory chip of their devices....
Thats a big enough point to trust em...

I would suggest a class 10, because I previously used a class 4 and encountered many problems and slow transfers. May cost a little bit more, but personally I think its worth it.
