You beat me to it... I was gonna post a similar post... LOL
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 !!!

Recommended 32GB Speedy microSD?

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.

Go to Pricegrabber's website and input the following part number - TS16GUSDHC6-P3

Transcend's site doesn't suggest that there are tiered performance based on the suffix.

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.

How much slower? And do you know the class of the SD card that came with the evo?

Best Buy had the 16gb Class 10 card for 49.99...Is that really a best buy or is it a sham?

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.

Just received my PNY 32gb class 10 the other day, and so far its blazing fast on Whitehawkx's Valhala ROM.

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.

[Q] Which MicroSD do you use??

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

SanD ftw! Haha

PNY 32GB Class 10 working flawlessly.

So it looks like SanDisk wins once again anybody else?

the Kingston 32gb class 4.
Works 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.

Mmmmmm...still looks like Sandisk is winning with more then half of the memory cards in use out there!
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

Samsung 32GB Class 10 or Sandisk 32GB Class 4

I'm very tempted to get one of these cards. I did search and read a lot about the sandisk card. But there isn't much about the samsung class 10 card. Can someone please shed some light on it.

save yourself some cash and get a samsung 32gb class 6,

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?

Saw this in a shop today and thought of getting it but it's a waste of money really. I think I'll just go for the Class 4 or 6 32 GB sandisk card.

Hello there!

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

I got the class 10 Samsung the ouzo posted the link for, blazing fast & apparently waterproof, so if your phone ends up in a beer glass (happens more often than I'd like) the data is safe

It is always better to buy the fastest card. My choice would be Samsung Class 10

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

Does the clad of your memory card affect how full hd videos record ?? I'm using a class 4 and it sometimes freezes during playback then picks back up would a class 10 eliminate this.

Which micro SD card is better?

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.

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
