Just wondering....
The one that came with the phone
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
For the money, the above poster is right, nothing beats zero, lol.
However, the higher the class the faster the card. Right now 32gb class 10s are around 90 or so. Just make sure to get name brand (Kingston, sandisk, etc) and read reviews.
Most new phones include a class 2 card. If you get anything above class 4 you may have to change the SD card read ahead buffer, at least on the HTC evo (stock is 64, 128-256 is preferred, and as high as 512 for a class 10), to get full benefit of the higher speed capability.
Hope this makes sense.
thanks, i just wanted to know about space.. but that's cool, the 16 is great, just wondering for the future.
plus i just saw this one: http://www.buy.com/prod/sandisk-32-...ity-sdhc-1-card-pack/q/loc/101/217186185.html

That looks like a reg size SD card. You have to get micro sd
I use a class 10 card I got from the egg. IIRC, it was a whopping $30.

From my experience, Kingston seems to be best balance for quality at reduced cost (compared to SanDisk).

Just got a 32gb sandisk class 2 from amazon for $67 shipped. Research told me it would benchmark like a class 4 and they weren't lying. Card reads quickly and has 0 errors.

Ya for microSD, I got SanDisk every time. They are more expensive than comparable micro but they have the best quality and performance (from my online research/reading). I haven't been let down yet.
Worth every penny and works great!!

I got a different question related ro this topic. What is the max class the epic can actually handle. I was told class 6 if that's the case its pointless to get a class 10. Is someone willing to bench a class 6 and class 10 for comparasing?

Yeah but you got to think ahead into the future. Most people don't last the entire two years with the same phone, at least i don't. One year and im already switching it up. Next phone can probably do more so it's always good to have.
I'd like to try to keep this phone for three years. That's my goal. It's a great phone.
Do class 10 cards work on the sensation ? Any thoughts or recommendations for either 16 or 32gb cards?
There's a thread over in the Accessories subforum concerning class 10 cards. Give it a read

lol. u meant for sensation right?..i was like damn, what sd card is this thats a substitute for a phone?
bt anyway, really 16gb or 32gb is a personal preference, you cant ask that since we dont know how much music/movies/games/whatever ur gonna have..
personally, i got a class 6(which should really do what it needs to in this phone) instead of 10 as i believe a class 10 won't really make a difference plus the class 6 was a lil cheaper..
i guess we'll find out tho since i pick up my sensation on the 12th

Yup.
I have a class 8 4GB - Never needed more. Maybe 8GB would be good, for when I shoot a lot of videos, but the main thing I use the phone for is just talking/browsing/flashing/flashing/flashing(I am addicted to that)/texting and such. Nothing that uses the SD card, other than my titanium backup and a place to put my ROMs on.

ha indeed I meant "for the sensation". Speed is more important to me than size. I want to wait the least amount of time to capture the next photo or to view my music/photo libraries.
So no difference between class 6 and 10? I had heard class 10 cards don't work on andorid devices. This seems to be bunk info?

well there prolly isnt that much of a diff in this phone..personally, im content with a class 6 and i dont feel like paying more for a class 10 is worth it. But class 10 cards do work on android devices.
check out this thread for some input http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072839
as some people have commented here that a class 2 recorded and played 1080p videos with no lag and such..and others obtaining low speeds on their class 10 cards...plus it also differs on the card manufacturer as most with the same classes have diff speeds.
I was curious about this myself so I emailed HTC tech support and they told me "There's no benefit to getting a Class 10 card; the phone will only read/write between Class 2 and Class 4 speeds. Thus, there's no real reason to spend the extra money for a Class 10 card". That's a bummer if it's true.
I went looking for a microSD card over the weekend and was really disappointed in the prices I found. A lot of the deals were already sold out at Fry's and CompUSA (Tiger Direct).
I'd like to start this thread to help others (and me ) find the best deals on expanded memory for our phones.
Any good finds?
This 16BG class 10 card was on sale this weekend at Fry's for around $10, but it was gone by 9:30 on Saturday morning.

i may be wrong, but i dont think the rocket was able to support a 64gig card.
this would be GREAT
AmazonBasics cards are cheap and great quality
You may want to look into getting Sandisk branded cards instead of just any old card.
Some of the class 10 cards out there have atrocious small block random read/write speeds, and that has been a major issue for the Nook Color world. That being said, we aren't running a complete OS off the SD card on our skyrockets, but even running apps off the card may cause speed issues.
Nook Color SD Card Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005633
All of the benchmark data in that thread summarized into a google docs spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjPE3ZAD2eVudE9vZmQ3aHlfTkFvU2J4ZUplRDJQTEE
I can't vouch for any cards other than what I've seen -- Class 10 Patriot, Class 10 A-Data, 3x Class 4 SanDisks, and an unmarked SanDisk. Everything (including the unmarked SanDisk) except for the Class 2/4 SanDisks were atrocious in running a SD card based OS on my Nook. My Class 4 SanDisks benchmarked somewhere between 20x and 40x faster than the other cards for small block writes.
This is my card, AmazonBasics 16 GB microSDHC Class 10 Flash Memory Card with SD Adapter

Always beats my gf's sansdisk in speed tests
This is not the first time I have heard the Sandisk 64Gb microsd works after a reformat. Now they are down to $150 for a class 6 and I am seriously about to try one out.

Thanks, that looks like a good quality card. I was going to hold off on buying a microsd for my phone, but $27 for 16GB and those speeds people are posting looks really good. In for one.
So to wrap up the 64gb arc, it works on the SR without any glitch? Cos me want it!

Don't know if this is a repost but its a hell of a deal. I bought 2 SanDisk Memory card class 4 (better performance on mobile devices) for only $30.00 a piece from Amazon.

Amazon also has a Lenovo Class 10 for 39.99 swell. Sorry don't know where the link is. I just got both of my 32gb n so far so good. Very happy, might get a third this Friday for my 7"Asus when it comes out this summer. You're welcome in advance.
Thanks for sharing bro.
I plan on getting a sensation within a few weeks to replace my MyTouch3G Slide and am doing homework for ROMs and Kernels when I happened upon this thread... I live on newegg.com. I am ordering some Class 10 32gig Micro SDHC's for 39 USD free shipping... Just an FYI
I just checked it on my favourite tracking site. It looks like is is$26ish+shipping now, but here is the tracker:

Anyone buying this?
Just checking the user reviews: Pic is of Class 4 but there are differing reviews about receiving Class 2 or Class 4 cards.
Where is the seller stating the class of the card, aside from the pics?
I recommend getting the SanDisk class 4 over wintec class 10 I bought 3 16gb cards last year, and both class 2 sandisks outperformed class 10 wintec in every benchmark, especially random read/write speed. SanDisk was 4 times faster. And I did not get a defective wintec. Mine tested the same as others. Both SanDisk I got preform over class 10 speeds, and many others get the same results with SanDisk.

Always good to know about wintec vs. Scandisk. Will make sure to order those instead.

Just ordered one for 30 bucks off Newegg. 32GBs, Class 4. I'd rather buy from them then a seller out of Amazon. I like Amazon, but have had bad experiences when it comes to smaller, third party sellers. Paid 6 bucks to ship it in 3 days.
I'm buying one ...... !!!

Don't just take my word for it. Read the reviews. Maybe wintec has gotten better in the lay year. I just wanted to give my experience.

I don't really know why u guys buying 32 class 4 if there is class 10 - much better, than any other class... And it's not much more expensive...

i bought this one, and I'm totally satisfied. My phone now runs like a speedy-gonzales
£34.99 and free shipping to some countries. Totally worth of it
Class 4 over class 10. I read somewhere that smartphone deal better with a class 4. There's a fairly extensive post on classes

class 4 has better read/write than a class 10. For us that's better BC we have tons of photos, music, apps. Etc all of which are small files when compared to full length movies n such. That's why a class 4 is better than a class 10.

bull**** man class 10 have much better read/write, because it's just faster... if u want better performance, on SAME CARD, i mean on one class 4, and second same u have bad feeling - u need to change allocation size unit - only here is difference for files. Believe me, i have 4 cards for now. Class 10 (in phone), class 4, class 8, and one no-name (without class?) and best of all is class 10.
It's just imposible that class 4 can be better than class 10...
and at the end:
1. u using your card only for phone? Coz when i get full card in my camera - i can easy change it to card from phone, and it's just better...
2. even if class 4 have better read/write (but this is just impossible) why u care? Except price, why? U can't record videos in real HD on this phone, because phone is not made for recording vids... and this is only one reason why u need better read/write... even on class 2 u can play games without any errors or something..
So class 4 sells cheaper than a class 10 because it's a much better card. Makes a lot of sense! ;D
Sent from my HTC Sensation
Class 4 does not have a better read/write speed than a class 10, but to achieve class 10 speeds (10MB+/second write speed), you sacrifice random access speed. A slow random access speed impacts things like playing music or looking at pictures.
There is really no need to get a class 10 for a phone unless you're seriously that impatient when it comes to copying your few gigs over the first time you use it.
There was a HUGE thread about classes and it came down to Class 4 being the better choice for mobile phones. For more information just look for threads on the subject and see what has to he said.

Thank you! All I'm trying to do is share the love not start a debate. Believe what u want but Im going with a class 4.

Thankyou for informing us about this amazing deal.
Got my 32GB Sandisk Class 4 today, took UPS two days to ship. As for the card, it writes at about 2MBs to 3.6MBs, so it's clearly not a class 4. I bought a 16GB Sandisk a while back, it's write speeds were also supposedly class 4 but were abysmal. While this card is adequate, it's the last Sandisk I'll be buying. Kingston all the way, I've bought multiple 4GBs and 8GBs from them, each card was faster than it's rating.
Edit: Too be clear, I'm not betching about it being Class 2 plus or minus, but I don't like being lied to.
I was thinking of getting a new SD card for my Sensation, a 32GB. However, i cannot figure out what class to use - esp because im running the sense camera mod, which will require higher writing speeds, because of the Improved HD quality, right? :S
If that's the case, or even if not, which class memory card should i buy - taking into account recording hd videos and pics

As mentioned in the hq camera mod thread. Class 10 sdcard is required.. Samsung class 10 has good reviews.
For your information I'm using sandisk class 4 for this camera mod. It runs fine but after recording is done I need to wait couple of seconds to get control back

I use an unbranded Class 10 16gb that works fine with the mod, even the 40mbps mod. Play.com do well priced own branded 32gb class 10 ones that are fine and, in my opinion more reliable than buying from Hong Kong
Yeah you don't need a class 10. I'm using a class 6 and it works just fine. Something to consider about class 10 is that you lose random access speed to gain faster sequential write speeds. That being said, on a mobile phone where you're constantly pulling up pictures and music and applications, a class 4 to 6 is usually preferred.
Be very careful with eBay. It's a great website, but I did get jammed with a Sandisk 16GB class 6 once. It's write speed? About 40Kbytes a second. Yeah, it was awful. Looked absolutely legit, seller was alright feedback wise, grammar was fine. Be careful.
Yes I would NOT buy it off eBay just for the reasons he wrote above! Very good fakes, hard to tell the difference!
