I have this card and the transfer rate is on about 3 mbps... disappointing.

I have a 16GB Class 2 SanDisk card. I get 1.5MB/s speed when using the USB cable for my N1. But if I slot this card into the card reader (with adaptor) of my laptop, I easily hit 4.5MB/s.
I think N1 has limited speed capability for USB transfer. This card used to be in another phone before and I got same speeds as card reader with it.

There's a reason A-Data cards are cheap...

Yeah, i think sandisk is the way to go. I had a Ridata class 6 and when i ran speedtest on it, the phone kept thinking it was a class 2. then i bought a sandisk class 2 and it was reading as a class 4. all the cards tested were 16gb.
the only other card i would consider is the kingston class 10 but those are still pretty pricey.

I easily get 8mbps on my adata when on card reader, averages at 3-4mbps on my phone (with Froyo a2sd, old a2sd and /data/data on sd, thats quite lot of stuff)

Go for Sandisk. It's hands down the best sd card

sandisk all the way. Bought a few trascend microsd's were useless.

[Q] 32GB Micro SD Cards?

Does anyone use a 32GB micro SD in their device? I'm looking to get a class 10 32GB micro SD but I'm not sure what brand/manufacturer to go with or where I can get the best price. Basically, my main priority is to get a safe, reliable, and fast (class 10 preferably) 32GB micro SD. I've never been too educated in the SD memory market, so I was wondering if anyone could help me out. Thanks in advance!

Sandisk is always a good choice. As for class 10, I'm not sure why you need one that speedy. I have 32GB class 2 card and it is plenty fast enough for my g2x.

Oh really? Well that's good to know. (Like I said I'm not too knowledgeable about SD cards.) I'll look up SanDisk on Amazon, I figured they would be a good source. Thanks!
I also found this: http://www.amazon.com/Lexar-MicroSD...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1306885736&sr=1-1 (as far as class 10 ones go) and the reviews seem to be pretty good. Does anyone know if that manufacturer (Lexar) is reliable?

Here's a few good options. I personally have a 32gb wintec class 10, and that cards been a champ since day one. Class 4 cards are good enough especially since i believe android is limited to class 4 speeds

Thanks a lot! I think I'll go for the wintec class 10 based on your recommendation. That's an interesting observation about Android, but since I'm going to be using the SD card with different devices in the future, I figured I might as well go for the best.

I have a 32gb kingston class 4 and its been running pretty good.

i have two. A class 4 Sandisk and a class 10 Adata. The sandisk seems to work the best. I lost my data on the Adata 3 times and had to return one DOA. While the Adata did have really good speeds it just didnt seem reliable.

Iv never used a 32 but iv had an 8 and a 16 made by A~Data, and have no complaints

dont trust any brands u dont know meng.. there are tonnes of fake cards out there so the best thing to do is to buy from the stores the guys have listed up top.. but if u happen to buy from eBay: here are a list of things to look out for
1) the brand name is Kingston, Sandisk, AData or Lexar - those are known and trusted brands to work with.
2) the class of the disk is displayed on the microSD Card and the class relates to a price - if its a class 10 and its cheap - beware.. safest bet is to go with either a class 4 or a class 6
3) Insure that the Serial number is displayed on the microSD Card.. if you dont see a serial number then ask for one and check via google to insure that it is legit
that is how i got this wicked awesome 32GB Kingston card from eBay for 20 bucks.. i had a 32GB class 10 card from memorex but couldnt make a ext partition with it and thats how i discovered that it was fake

Dane-Elec and Transcend are fine and I am using them in GTab and X10.
I also have Sandisk and using it in G2x.

I have a 32g class 10 from Kingston. It works flawlessly, and you can see the speed improvement. Pick one up here.

Just picked up a ADATA 32gb fron newegg on sale for 49$ + free shipping (Class 4).

Q: Large micro SDHC Cards

Hello guys and gals,
I am starting to feel the pinch with an 8 Gb memory card and wondered if anyone had found a good, cheap and compatible 16 or 32 Gb micro SD cards for the Desire S.
EBay seems to have some 32gb cards for about 10 GBP which sounds insane.
Anyone got a suggestion for this UK Desire S user?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

You don't want a cheap one, spend those 30€ on a class 10 card. It's well worth it its faster and will probably not die on u as some cheap one might.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

Do NOT buy cards from ebay. They will always be fake, when they arrive they will say 32gb but if you perform a scan with a tool it shows its actual capacity to be 1gb! Don't fall for it like I did!
Just use google shopping and search for the cheapest price for a memory card from a reputable site.
In fact, I see you're in the UK and theres a good deal on from play:
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/16710254/Lexar-16GB-Micro-SDHC-Memory-Card-Class-4/Product.html
I bought a 16GB class 6 about half a year ago for £18 so this is a pretty good deal.
From experience classes dont make much of a difference at all, maybe miniscule. This card comes with a 5 year warranty so no need to worry about it dying on you.

I ordered a 16gb class 10 y/day from play for £17.99 It's Pny but will do the job

Cheers for the replies. I thought eBay would have been a rip but you never know with that place, some crazy deals happen and we miss them because we fear them (and quite rightly 99% of the time).
Might pounce on the 16 Gb Class 10 from Play.com.
Anyone know if the Desire S can take 32Gb cards and are there any good deals on those? Best I've found is £38, give or take pennies.

Far as I know yeah it can handle a 32gb

Yes, it can! =)
Mine is MicroSDHC 32GB Transcend Class4 (TS32GUSDHC4). Works good.

I got my 16 Gb today and its working fine

Did anyone tested an A-DATA / KINGMAX 16GB, class 10?

I got a scandisk 16gb.. works great!

i'm sooo confused about this. i want to buy a 32gb microsd card.
either sandisk class 4 or lexar class 10.
i was about to order the fast one but then read this thread here and some other and got really confused!
any help? has anyone used sandisk class 4?
thanks guys!

If buy a new micro SDHC Card, can i simply copy and paste the old content after formatting?

Yes, i did it recently, had no issue.

Just in case, enable hidden files viewing.

I bought a Samsung 16GB Class10 microSD, works like a charm...

bought a sandisk 16gb class 4, everything is running fast and without problems, don't know if you would "feel" a higher class at all

I spent a lot of time looking on the 'net for a reasonable price 32GB card.
Saw plenty on Ebay but many looked untrustworthy (had a bad experience before!)
Eventually collected a 32GB Class 4 card for £35 from Novatech, local to me.
The Novatech card I got turned out to be Integral brand with 5 year warranty.
It's actually a Toshiba manufactured card made in Japan, so I'm happy with it.
The camcorder app seems to work better with the Class 4 card than it did with the supplied Samsung 8GB Class 2.

I bought Toshiba 16gb class 4 and it is good working.

Been using a 16 GB Class IV Transcend Micro SD card, everythings been peachy so far. Finding a legit 32 GB Class IV Micro sd card is so hard here in my neck of the woods.

class 4 microsd good enough for sensation?

Coming from HD2 with class 10 microsd. I had class 10 because android was installed in the sdcard (before the nand hack).
Now, since the sensation is running from internal, is a class 4 32GB good enough?
Coz I won one for $29 bux free shipping lol...

I think the phone comes with a stock 16gb class 2 card.
Edit. Found a thread that asks that question Lol.... Looks like it comes with a class 2.

Depending on the usage your Class 4 may actually be better than a Class 10. The SD card class speeds were developed with a narrow focus on sequential write speed because that is that cameras/video cameras need in order to write the information to the card as it is being created by the camera. But when used in a phone you don't really use it in sequential read/write it is more often than not used with random read/write, and often lower class cards perform better in these tasks than higher class cards.

I have a 32gb class 4 card in my phone and its giving me no problems at all.
So in my experience its good to go

As someone who regularly likes to move giant files over, I appreciate the Class 10. If you're just moving music and stuff occasionally...you'll be fine.

Thanks. I was initially looking for a class 10. But since it was a steal at $29 bux with a minute left, I went ahead with the bid. didn't expect to win but I did, so might as well use it with the sensation

Very good programs for testing your memory are:
h2testw_1.4 in order to verify that the XXGB card you bought is actually XXGB
CrystalDiskMark3_0_1b in order to do a benchmark to see what is the real speed of your card. The apps on android are not reliable for these tests.

Once I get the card I'll post my feedback. Coming from a 16GB class10 hopefully I won't notice the difference.

I have a sandisk Micro SD 32Gb class4 for my HTC Sensation. So far so good, I have not found any problem with it . Also I bought it from HTC Showroom in Vietnam with a great deal (about $42 only)

Have a look at this thread:32GB MicroSD - working in Desire
You might not need a class 6 card, mot of the time a class 4 card is OK as well. They are cheaper and easier to obtain as well

Why class 6? I would try Samsung's class 10 or Sandisk class 4, depending on the use you are going to give it (Media vs Apps)

32gb card
lexar 32GB (Class 10) card going in the amazon "black friday" thing soon.... 3pm it goes down in price.... dont know how much though so apologies if its a rediculous £2 off or something!!
Also, not sure about the quality of lexar???

san disk the best performance
