Is there any difference in the read/write speeds of these two cards? Since I'm only using about 4G of the SD card on my HD2 (part of which is for the system ROM to run DL's DesireZ port) I think it makes sense to use the faster of the two cards in my new Inspire, but I'd go with the HD2 16G card if they're the same just to give me the extra room if I ever need it.
Look on the SD card for a number with a half circle around it. This is the speed of the card. For everything except moving apps to SD a class 2 is fine. Class 6 is what I have and I have no issues with slowness.

I agree with Gunnyman. Look at the class of the SD first, then choose accordingly. I would recommend a class 6 or higher if you can, and a class 4 minimum. Class 6 and 8 seem to be the sweet spot for people wanting to buy a new card without breaking the bank, and are perfect speeds for doing anything on the mobile device.
Where would most of the speed increases come from anyway? I have a Nexus 1 and it pretty much has to have a micro SD card in it; I move as many apps as I can to it and everything runs pretty fast now.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I have a class 6 8G that came with my Inspire, as compared to the class 2 16G that came with the HD2. So I guess I'll stick with the 8G.

Same here, so I just use the 16gb from my HD2
Mine came with a 8GB Class 4, I then put in a 16Gb class 4, and it worked great and then found a great deal on a SanDisk 32Gb class 4 and that is what I have in the phone and it works great.

I purchased a Black and Plum MyTouch 4g yesterday for myself and my wife. Now today I was doing some file transfers and SD card switches because there's files and pictures on our other android phones we would like on our MyTouch's. I pulled the SD card from the Black one and it was a Class 2 Samsung which I thought was odd. So I then decided to pull the SD from the Plum one and that was a Sandisk Class 4 card which makes sense. I feel as if some one cheated out the better SDcard at the store
Mine came with a sandisk 4, but another one came with a samsung 2. Strange

Hmm, mine came with an 8GB Samsung Class 2. Me no happy now that you mentioned it . But I haven't noticed any real delay...anyone know the R/W speed difference between Class 2 and 4? I have a Class 6 16GB card which made a very big difference on my N1.

Well in theory class 2 sd card means 2 mb sec transfer rate, class 4 means 4mb, class 6, 6mb etc etc... Anyways diffrent brands have different read/write speeds and sometimes those speeds don't live up to the class stamped on them.

It's for minimum transfer rate. Most do a lot better then that. Just bench it and see what you get.

lol that sucks
but anyways, 32gb, whatever class it is, for $29 isnt bad
class 4 is good enough for a mobile phone. If you just use it to store mp's/photo's.
Higher then class 4 is only interesting when filming/photographing on a high resolution and thus need a high read/write speed.
Anyway, $29 for 32 gig is a very nice price!!
Still... don't know why this in the dev. forum

I bought a SD card and a thumb drive. Both turned out to be fakes from China. The 32 GB thumb drive only held 14 GB of data and was flaky at that. The SD card was slow and was also unbranded. I would be very careful about what data you save to it. It might just go south on you.
Keep an eye on sales ads. I just got a 8GB class 10 micro SD at bestbuy for $19.99
**This is in the dev thread because it was a mistake on the OP part. He asked for it to be moved, but the MODs have not done so. I suggest sending them a PM bro. Might get a better response.
There are free programs, like h2testw, you can download to test the sd cards and usb drives. I purchased one a while ago that was supposedly a 32gb, and windows detected it as a 32gb. I tested it and it was really 1GB.
BE REALLY CAREFUL INDEED,
I bought exactly the same 2 weeks ago on Ebay, same packaging exactly, about same price.
It was a fake that was only 2Go, with a ridiculous transfer rate of 2.2Mo/sec with downs to 150ko/sec
So I bought another one 32Mo, branded, class4, more expensive of course! (I also think we don't really more than class 4 unless your're really impatient when transferring big files from your PC to your SD card. Class 4 is already enough for the Sensation HD recording, and having class 10 wouldn't speed up any app except for some benchmarks that take SD card write/read into account)
Check microcenter. I picked up a 16 gig class 10 today for $28+tax... Well worth the price.

The 64GB cards are MICRO SD XC
The cards this phone supports are MICRO SDHC.
I love passing storage milestones, but don't get too excited, only a handful of devices currently have the architecture to support microSD cards bigger than 32GB, so make sure you have a compatible device before you empty your wallet. Don't have one? Don't sweat it, Your phone sucks. LOL

The truth is sdxc and sdhc have the same hardware and every thing else the only difference is the file system moving from fat32 to exfat which is an improvement of fat32 current used on all mobile devices and alot of limitations like only holding file of 4gbs
For all current devices all they need is a firmware update to work with sdxc but manufacturing company are introduction it like a new thing if u bought one and formatted it to ext4 or ext3 it would work on android or Linux
Or wait it exfat drivers are out for android
Just do some research and will see

Sandisk is good. I've had one thats about 5 years old and it still works like a champ!
I bought a 16GB SanDisk class 4 on Amazon for $26. If you're going to transfer a lot of HD video back and forth from the SD card, then I suggest something higher in class, but for everything else class 4 is A-OK.
I like Adata, have my class 6 from them for a while now with no errors or anything. Going to get a 16GB class 10 soon.
I got a 16GB and I keep 6 movies on my phone and still have plenty of room. Also I have a Few mp3's.

I thought anything higher than a class 6, you are pretty much wasting your money since most phones don't support class 10.
