Hi all,
I'm thinking about buying myself a bigger SD Card soon.
I'm thinking about going for a 32Gb card, I can't justify splashing out for a 64Gb card IMHO.
I've been looking at a few cards, I've seen and heard that these are pretty good.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005FQLN28/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=computers&psc=1
I've been looknig at the first 4 from this search: http://www.play.com/Search.html?searchtype=allproducts&searchsource=0&searchstring=32gb+micro+sd
The card I posted a link to first is in that list, I'm wondering about the classes though. Which class would be best? I've heard that either 6 or 10 are the best for phones.
Does anyone have any Exp. with one of these cards?
Cheers,
T-L-H
I have a SanDisk 32GB Class 4. Works fine, I got it on sale for about £16.50 which was a bargain.
IMO Class 4 or Class 6 is best for phones, unless you transfer films and things often
If you're going to buy a Class 10 I'd go far a SanDisk Ultra due to the better small file write speeds.
I use 32GB Sandisc card class 4, for me it's OK
I use a Lexar Class 10 32GB. Works like a charm! £29.99 from Amazon UK! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lexar-32GB-...2ZTM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329762527&sr=8-1
Better deal than that

Play.com have it for £17 today when I checked.
I have a question and need assistance from experienced members here, I have a HTC Sensation and i am also looking forward to increase my SD Card memory to max 32 GB Class 10, now i have doubts over this, kindly open HTC official site and check Sensation technical specs, it says that Expansion slot: microSD™ memory card (SD 2.0 compatible) and while i was checking the product on an online site, it says Fully compatible with SD 3.0 Standards, the product is Transcend Micro SDHC 32 GB Class 10. so my question is that since HTC says sensation is SD 2.0 compatible, will it runs SD 3.0 Standard card without any problems ?
kindly answer as i need to take decision asap.
thanks

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

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 !!!

What would you guys recommend as a speedy and stable 32GB microSD card for the Galaxy S 4G? I was looking at the Patriot LX Series on Newegg but the relatively poor reviews concern me.
Given the pricing at this time, I'd go with an 8 GB, Class 6 card and wait for prices to drop on even the 16 GB, Class 6
32 GB or Class 10? IMHO waaaay too expensive at this time. Are you really writing that much data that often? The read speeds of even the Class 2 card that the SGS4G shipped with is comparable to Class 6 cards.
I've had good luck with the Transcend cards -- Class 6, 8 GB ~$18, 16 GB ~$55
well I am down to about 3GB on my stock 16GB class 2 card so I am definitely looking at 32GB microsd cards only.
I am honestly not particularly concerned about the price and I'd be willing to pay up to $200 for one as long as it is fast and stable. My current class 2 card is quite slow when loading applications and when looking through things like my pictures gallery which is stored on the card as well.

Patriot is some of the best PC Ram and SSDHD's you can buy for PC's. So I would assume based on the fact it's similar tech that their microSD's would be of similar top notch quality.

I bought the Transcend 32GB Class 4 about 2 weeks ago and so far so good. It did about 4MB/s writing (upgraded from a Transcend 8GB class 6) while copying content from the older card (about 7GB of data). I watch movies from SD, move apps to SD, snap some picks and shoot videos without issues. This is all on a KG4 rom if that makes a difference.
If you are going to copy large files (like movies) all the time, a faster card might help but the Lexar's are dang expensive!
Hope this helps.

Go here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15269669#post15269669 for a lot of useful information about 32 GB SD cards.
It seems for cellphones the sandisk 32 GB class 4 card seems to be the best performing for everyday use.
I hope this helps.
I have a Wintec class 10 and to be honest, its the way to go. Nothing beats the speed.

Glad you went with the class 10! Its a win for sure. Do an SD benchmark test and you'll be amazed at the results.

I got one class 10 but from Transcend for 25euro and it's so sweet!
Because I want to flash allot of roms that are 300mb+ it's really handy to get the files up there fast. And you can shoot 1080p at 30mb without any problem

Sweden seems to be too small of a market
Since the amount of products that are shipped internationally from Amazon/eBay is pathetically low, I ask if anyone know any good Class 10 cards which can be delivered to Sweden? 16, but especially 32 GB is of interest.

See I knew I was being thick!!
Hi there, I just bought the Sensation and I started the research for a good Micro SD to use on it. On my previous phone (the Desire I have in my sign) I had a Sandisk 8GB Class 6 which never gave me any prob, but I'm reading here and there that with the size of the new ROMs having less than 16Gb would mean meeting a few problems when it comes to have more than a couple of nandroid on your SD, plus video & pics in HD require more & more space.....SO: I wanted to get a 16GB class 6 or 10 but I'm having quite a hard time to find a Sandisk one (I'm wondering if Sandisk even produce something like that...) and at the same time I read here & there in various forum people having some trouble with non-sandisk memory card
At this point I thought to ask all of you which card do you use and if and what problems did you experience with it(?!?)
Tried to use the search tool but couldn't find out much out of this subject...
P.S. If you choose "Other" in the poll please then specify with a post which one you use exactly!
I have the Lexar 32 GB class 10. It works perfectly fine.

Probably not. mmmmmaybe some choppiness on hd video playback, but more than likely the only thing you'll notice is it takes longer to transfer large files too and from the card.

I try both on my Sensation....i think Samsung is just a little bit better but noothing special.
samsung or sandisk
you should look at the sandisk mobile ultra 32gb class 6.
not the cheapest card,but I would say the undisputted class six speed demon.
take the class 4 one, you dont need the speed of a class 10 on the phone it's just wasting money
Have a search for one of the SD card threads which should have detailed benchmark data in. Maximum read and write speads are not the only important factors. If you mean this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-MB-MSBGAEU-32GB-Class-Micro/dp/B005FY61EK, I can confirm it works well. I benchmarked mine before I put anything on it and, in megabytes per second it scored:
Seq Read: 20.06 Seq Write: 12.10
512k Read: 19.82 512k Write: 11.86
4k Read: 4.777 4k Write: 1.270
4k QD32 Read: 4.917 4k QD32 Write: 1.271
The 4k read and write values are apparently very important for us as the phone will read and write lots of small files to the SD.
These speeds ECLIPSE my Sandisk 16GB class 4 card and explain why Android on my old HD2 was slow whenever I put apps n stuff on the SD card. Hope this helps you make your mind up. Try and find that thread : )
I'm looking at the Sandisk Mobile Ultra class 6. I think I will go for that. Anyone's got one yet?

Hello there!
isn't a class 10 better for multi-booting a rom from an sd-card? I think both brands are pretty good

Yep. Go for speed first.
16gb class 4
I've been using a 16gb class 4 sandisk and it works exactly as stated. Usually writes between 4-5 MB/s and reads between 20-30 MB/s. Its been very consistant and I've had no problems. If your looking for a dependable card id go with the sandisk.
I have one of the original 32gb SanDisk Class 2 MicroSDHC cards and a PNY Class 10 32gb
So far I haven't noticed a difference, Other than I filled the SanDisk already and got the PNY so I could archive the SanDisk
