So, I have the choice of either getting a 32 GB Class 10 microSD card, or a 32 GB Class 2 microSD card. I've heard Class 10 cards don't work too well, so should I get the Class 2? Is Class 2 too slow? Thanks for your help.
For the record: I use 16GB Class 10 Samsung. No issues
Well, class 2 is pretty slow, but honestly you won't notice it. I'm happy with my class 6.
The class 10 cards are really pretty hit-or-miss. You can still try, though, but be warned.
I had a class 10 card when i first got my phone....had issues. I've since changed to a class 4 or 6, I forget ATM but I havent had anymore sd card issues since. Feeling lucky?

I have a Lexar 16GB class 10 in my A2 atm, and haven't had any problems. I've only had the phone for a couple of weeks however, so it's probably too soon for me to say anything definitive.
What brand? I have an 8 gig class 10 PNY that works fine in my ATRIX 2.

Is fully supported by my desire?if yes,which type is suggested?
Thanks
sent from the future
It's ok about 32gb and class 10 but I dont know if it will work really class 10
I'm fairly sure you can't get any higher than a class 4 32gb card.
Stay away from that class 10 32 gb card, i presume its fake offer. Must addmit that also i newer heard for class 10 32 gb

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.
Sandisk 32gb, class 4, its perfect

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.

But nobody told us any bad experience so far with any memory card....anybody there who lost everything due to mem failure or who wasn't able to install a new Rom due to his cheap memory card??

I currently have a Kingston 8GB Class 4 running and so far no issues, been using it in my previous phone and works like a charm. I have also ordered a Memorette 32GB Class 10 from ebay, but don't know if it comes or not as there were some problems after checkout. Hope it comes in the end so I have a lot of space for all the content I would like on my Sensation

Thanks. I'm also struggling which SD card I should pick.
I have some bad experience previously with my Milestone. I heard Android phones have poor compatibility with fast SD cards, especially Class 10 cards. But unluckily I needed fast SD card for Apps2Ext with limited ROM on my Milestone.
But now my phone has decent amount of ROM space, does it mean that I can live with a slow Class 4 SD card? Is there any advantage of using a fast, Class 6 or 10, card?
I want to hear the opinion from users of fast cards.
Thanks.

Don't know that I can answer your questions directly. Only reason I got the 16G class 6 was because it was cheap and available at the time. I don't put apps on the sdcard and previously was working just fine with a 8G class 2. I just needed more space.
I bought a Ridata 16GB class 6 card and I usage a hard time getting the camera to save pictures to it. Always works for mundane things, but a soon as I want to take pictures if my kids it craps out. I have to unmount and then take it out and put it back in to work. Looks like I should ignored the review from Newegg.

the best purchase atm is: Samsung micro SDcard class 10 - good price, good quality, very fast
Go for a class 10. I really notice a difference using my SLR camera when I swap between a Class 6 and the 10 - the 10 being way faster.

Class 10 all the way. I have a class 10 and it's slow, I wonder how slow will a lower class be.
I use class 10 cards in my DSLR, and would normally recommend them, however after installing CM7 on a microSD for my mother's nook color everything I read said your better getting a SanDisk class 2 than anything else, even in class 10. Apparently there is not a good standard for rating cards. I would recommend looking up specific benchmarks and choose from them.

I would not suggest a class 2 card as Android has issues reading it due to it being too slow. I have used class 4 and class 10 and I can feel a huge difference in the read and write speed.

Careful when buying sandisk especially online. There are some bad apolss out there selling improperly marked sd cards which say class 10 but really are just class 2.
Well Class 2 guarantess you 2MB/s, Class 6 6MB/s and Class 10 10MB/s.
6 is enough, 10 is better, see what you can afford.
Probably a tradeoff between speed and space.
Check how much space you really need.
Is it class so important?
I mean..when you have a class 4 isn't just enough for a smartphone?
Same thought. I have an 8GB class 4 SD card and i feel fine with it.

For just having media files on there, probably.
If you start putting apps to be run from there, you wan't as much speed as possible.
I think it much more depends on your ROM, not your external card. I have installed my apps on the ext2 partition and it does not appear to have any differences.

I havent noticed any differences between class 6 and class 10.
From personal experience, the speed of the card makes a big difference for the Desire because of all the app2sd games.
As someone mentioned before, brand and the store are also very important.
I bought a Lexar class 6 16GB and quite happy with it.
Make sure to do proper alignment on it.

I was thinking of this link coming into this thread, it needs to be a forum-wide sticky. For a camera, a class 10 would most definitely be required. But for Android, there does not seem to be a consensus.
Good luck
you should buy a class 10 dude samsung or another
Go for a class 10. If you aim for sales and such, you can get one for the normal price of class 6 cards.
Hi!
I am deciding between these 2 micro SD card's. Please tell me which one of these 2 is better.
1) PNY 8GB MicroSD Class 4 Memory Card
2) RetailPlus 8GB Class 10 microSD Card (MEMS8GC10)
Thanks
You don't have to judge between them. Both will be awesome somehow. Anyway I vote for PNY.

Well it really depends on how much memory you want in my opnion the more the better also how much can your device hold. Some device only go up to 32gb, I love my 64 gb sandisk class 10 running

Class 10 will be much faster, minimum 10Mb per second write speed. (If it really is a class 10)
I got a 16 GB Class 4 SanDisk microSD for around $20 or $30 while on sale. I find that you can often find these better known brands on sale quite often. Check weekly flyers of stores nearby.
Personally, I got mine from Tiger Direct.
EDIT: As for your two options, I do not need the speed that a class 10 microSD has to offer. I would just go with whichever is known to be more reliable. Exactly why I would opt to find a SanDisk on sale.
Class 10 is faster for read/write data.
Sent from my GT-N700 using xda app-developers app
Class 10 MicroSd is far better
Class 10 MicroSd is far better as it is also recommended for RAM expander app
Odp: Which micro SD card is better?
Class determine only write speed not read. If you are using card simple as storage you dont really need class 10 but ofc copying files will be faster. Class 10 is recomended for making hi res movies, gaming or ( as mentioned above) swap. Personally i recomend Samsung class 10 cards, no problems and nice speed.
i would say go with class 10 it is the faster out of the 2
as it is stated above if u use it for swap etc., a high speed card would be very handy, but as for just storage i'd go for pny.. btw take a look at this topic for the speeds: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15269669#post15269669
