Best MircoSD Card - General Questions and Answers

I have a simple question. What is the Micro SD card with the best read and write speed? I would like a 16 or 32GB Micro SD Card for my HTC EVO 3D.

search for class 10 on google. it's has the highest read/write speed.

Sandisk
The faster and more memory the better, I usually stick to main brands so you know your not getting ripped of. But my sandisk micro sd works perfect.

You can buy the samsung 16 Gb class 10 microsd.
I use it with s2e, and its very fast.
And for under 20 euros (i think,atleast on amazon), its kind of cheap.

I can only recommend this card: Samsung MB-SSBGA Class 10 Essential SDHC

Thank you guys.

Best SD card
I prefer SanDisk for quality and Kingston (is cheaper €2-3 -at least in my country).

I am using Kingston and no problem. For sure SDHC and not less than Class 10 :]

Quite funny: I have a 8 GB and a 16 GB Sandisk MicroSD card. The 8 GB card works in my ZTE Blade as well as in my X10 Mini Pro. Although the Mini Pro is said to be compatible with MicroSD cards up to 16 GB, it refuses to work together with the 16 GB card but serves well in the Blade!

Lexar are maybe the best memory avaiable.
I bought a Mustang 16gb class10
done some test:
18-20mb/s read
15-17mb/s write
so fast
If you can recommend the Mustang Cards i think i'll try one as well as they are really cheap compared to other cards (~35€ for 32GB instead of 45€-60€). Will get the 32GB though.
yes i have one olso on my digital camera and 0 problems

I have an ADATA 32GB SDHC class 4 but when connected via USB cable in mass storage mode the write speed stays below 300KB/s.
If I place the card in a USB adapter the writing speed is about 4,6MB/sec.
What is the problem? Thanks!

Doesn't the PSP run on Memory Stick's rather than SD cards?
Am using A-Data 8GB class 4, it works fine (both stills and video is being smoothly recorded) so i dont see any reason why to pay more for better (faster) class

Lexar or Samsung 32gb MicroSD Card Recommend?

Hi guys i am looking to buy a 32gb Class 10, MicroSD card for my Desire, i am planning to partition it so i can have more internal space. After searching the market for a competitive price, i have came down to 2 options:
Lexar 32GB Micro SDHC Class 10 Extreme Speed
Samsung MB-MSBGAEU 32GB Class 10 Micro SD Card
I would appreciate if users here can recommend me which one i should go for and why (if owned either and used) ?
Thanks alot
As far as I know, many of the higher class cards have been produced by biasing performance to continuous read/write speeds, for use in camcorders/cameras etc so they can record ultra HD or burst capture etc. HOWEVER, for use in a phone, which needs greater random read/write access they can suffer compared to a regular class 4 which is a better balanced card. There is a lot of this going on in the HTC Mozart pages here on XDA, where I've been spending time (had a Mozart, ROM'd it and gave it to my girlfriend, she loves it).
Many people have tried different 32gb/16gb cards, different classes from 2-10 and the results have been surprising. WP7 seems to be unusually fussy about the cards that will actually work with it, and the only card guaranteed to work everytime is SANDISK which says a lot about the quality, and people have been finding that performance with a Class 4 SanDisk card is better than performance with a supposed Class 10 card by another manufacturer such as Integral, Transcend etc or even Samsung and Kingston.
In the end I bought a 32gb SanDisk Class 4 off Amazon, for a lot more than they are on eBay at around £28, apparently there are loads of near-fakes on eBay (only way I could guarantee it was genuine- the chinese are using genuine 4gb SanDisk cards and then re-branding and re-coding them as 32gb, the card thinks it's a 32gb, reports that it's a 32gb card but obviously runs out of room and has errors as soon as you try to put stuff on it).
Hope this helps- generally you get what you pay for and if it sounds too good to be true it usually is.
I bought yesterday a samsung class 6, 16 GB micro-sd card.
H2testw:
Writing speed: 10.00 MByte/s
Reading speed: 15.5 MByte/s
i know this post is about 20 days old, but maybe you haven't choosen a sd card yet
i first got a 16gb lexar class 6 card -> everything was fine
now i got a 32 gb samsung class 10 card
and i must say there is no remarkable speed/transfer difference
so buy a card which is class 6 or higher and everything should be fine
I have the Lexar class 10 32Gb card in my Desire, no problems. I bought it from Amazon during their Black Friday sale.

I think I have fallen foul of this, I bought two 32gb cards from'micro sd cards uk' @ about 15 quid each and I cant write to them properly they are class 10 so they should be ok but I have nothing but probs with them on two laptops with different cards readers,
Ill contact the vendors tomorrow Ill keep you posted.
Sounds very cheap for a class 10 32gb card, I bought my samsung one around christmas for £35 and that was the cheapest price at the time!
I'm sorry to say this but if something sounds to good to be true then it probably is...
Definately Lexar that's what use and its works great and very fast too

I strongly suggest to anyone.

In the end I bought a 32gb SanDisk Class 4 off Amazon, for a lot more than they are on eBay at around £28, apparently there are loads of near-fakes on eBay (only way I could guarantee it was genuine- the chinese are using genuine 4gb SanDisk cards and then re-branding and re-coding them as 32gb, the card thinks it's a 32gb, reports that it's a 32gb card but obviously runs out of room and has errors as soon as you try to put stuff on it).

I thought that the maximum allowed for Desire was 16 gb. Mine is 16 gb (Samsung), with good data transfer performance. By the way, in your situation I would go for Samsung.

[Q] Micro SD suggestion

hello evryone , i would like to hear your suggestions on class 10 micro sd cards avalible atm. mostly to suggest manufacturer

hehe, i got many choices here, and as far i saw, Samsung ones are cheapest, will propably get one of 16gb class 10, should be fine, need class 10 becouse i want expand internal memory
btw, is there big diference in speed between 8gb/16gb/32gb class 10 cards?

hey, i am confused a bit, on seller website, says
Samsung MICRO SD Plus 16 GB, HC Class10
Read (MB/s) 24
Write (MB/s) 21
while more expensive card
Transcend micro SD 16GB HC Class 10
Read (MB/s) 16,95

Transcend stats seem more real

The difference is noticeable. I have a Kingston 4Gb class 10 aprox 8 euro.

Which SD card?

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.

i am using Kingston 8GB MicroSDHC Class 4...its working awesome
Toshiba 16gb class 6. No problem so far.
Got a 32 Go samsung class 10, works perfectly for me
tested via SD card tester,
average write speed 9.2 Mo/s
average read speed 11.4 Mo/s
Maybe I was lucky - but I'm happy with it
8 Gb SanDisk Class 4, works well enough but USB transfer speeds could be better
Class 4 sandisk 8gb, 5.8 write, 11 read. Thanks for the other info, I'm upgrading.
Scandisk class 10 16GB works like a charm with no problems.
Read 19.5
Write 8.6
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA
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!

[Q] Is pulling from micro sd card as fast as internal memory

(1) I'm going to buy a galaxy s4 when it comes out. I know it would probably be cheaper to buy the 16 mg version ,then buy micro sd card.
My question is does the phone work faster from the internal memory or does it pulll info just as fast from a micro sd card?
(2). Would sandisk extreme pro be a good choice ?

I was told that sandisk doesn't work well with Samsung brand so I suggest you to buy Samsung sd card as well
Like anything, internal memory will always be faster...

i have been using the SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC Class 10 and it works fine in the sg3
just make sure you get the ultra class 10 as it has faster speeds than the lower class cards
put the things that need to pull up fast on the internal memory like apps and put everything else on the card like music and things you wont notice a difference on

Not always true. I recommend reading benchmark test on the card you want to by and its competitors. I've seen some benchmarks where a Class 6 Sandisk beat out a Kingston Class 10 in the past in "some" writing areas.
I had a nightmare with sandisk in general both in my dslr and GS2. I use Lexar now and never had one issue. Sandisk has great customer service though. Refunded all 3 of my pro cards.

If the Galaxy S4 supports the UHS sdcards (45mb or 90mb read/write) then that would be as fast as you need imho.

This is extremely true! Never trust an SD card by what the claims are on the box. I have purchased many SD cards (all brands) over the last couple of months. 6 class 10 Sandisk all 32GB from different sources (Amazon, Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc...) and none of them benchmarked in at class 10. Most were between class 4 and 8 write speeds with read speeds being a bit better. 2 PNY 32 GB class 10 cards. Both of those tested above class 10 performance but died within 2 weeks. I have not been able to find and Amazon Basics 32 GB Class 10, but the other Amazon cards I have tried have worked well. Samsung cards seem to work well as well, but I have not benchmarked any of them. It really seems to be a crapshoot if you get a good card or not. Each specific device seems to like some brands better than others. Also, there is a huge (and I mean huge) problem with counterfeit cards and misrepresented (changed) class of cards flooding all markets. So good luck and let everyone know if you find a good card.
I also would say, download and do a full write format on the card with sdformatter https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ prior to use. I have gotten many 4 speed cards to record hd video on my t3i just by using that software, when a regular format won't work.
