I think it's time we have some type of database of benchmarks for microSDHC cards on our Sensations. Sure... it's easy to find some online for certain cards but some people put them in adapters, USB 3.0 readers, different phones, etc. This list will hopefully be specific for our Sensations.
Software neededCrystalDiskMark
SD Tools (Android)
Testing Parameters
Use your Sensation as the testing drive
Please don't use a uSD to SD adapter or anything like that. If we keep this the same with everyone, we can better compare cards

microSDHC card size, stated class, and manufacturer (ie. 32GB, Sandisk Class 4)
microSDHC File Format, File Cluster Size (ie. Fat32, 32k)
How much of the card has data (ie. 50% full)
Sensation Android version (ie. ICS 4.0.3, etc)
Benchmarks as of 4/19/2012
Alright, I'll get this started.
I used the Sensation to format the card and WinXP x32 (will try on Win7 x64 if there's a difference).

Win7x64 Adata 8GB Class6 4k cluster
Win7x64 Kingston 8GB Class4 32k Cluster
Win7x64 Kingston 8GB Class4 4k Cluster
I'll enter this soon, but it appears that the older 8GB microsdhc cards are pretty quick. It's that they began to slow down as they became larger. It would be interesting to see how 16gb and other 32gb cards do.
It also appears that the smaller cluster sizes benchmarked better than the larger cluster sizes... i'm not sure what's the benefit of larger cluster sizes then...
Only thing that kinda troubles me is the big discrepancy between testing the Samsung 32GB class 10 32k microsdhc on WinXPx32 and Win7x64. Not sure why this is the case.
Anyone got the Sandisk Ultra 32gb? I believe it's class 6 and I wan't to know the speeds. Cheers!

Samsung 32GB Class10 16k @ 14% Full [SD Tools]
ymirsson, I think that tweak is good for SD Tools and general Android things. ARHD is set at 1024. I'm not certain how much this would mask an insufficient card at something like recording 40 mbps video. You should check to see what AOKP b29 has it set at.
CDM can test the card pre-tweaks.
Found an "old" Samsung 16GB C4 at home. Fresh formatted at 16k.
SD Tools averaged at 4.2 write, 18.8 read.
No CDM Tests, because there's no OSX version ^^
Tried the mentioned trick, but thats bogus. Doesn't change anything at all

Sandisk class 4 can benmark? how to use
Guys I got the stock one, and with sd tools it shows 4.6 on write and 24.7 in read mode.. is it enough?
or should i buy a new sd?
i don't know my sd brand sorry sd tolls doesn't show me the brand!
thank
Lollaz
Edit : ure right , sorry :-D, it is normal Samsung 16 Gb @ class 4
Now worries. The manufacturer should be printed on the card itself... just make sure to update your post the next time you open it up
Any idea on how full your card is? the amount of free space definitely effects speeds.
4.6 write... you should be able to record video at 20 mbps with the camera mod but it will probably stutter if you tried the ultra camera mod (40 mbps)
Thanks for answer :-D Big problem was i never never never turn off my mobile, didnt know about the brand!
Well the usage is 14 Gb free space..
After reading this thread i'm Now buyn a new sd, Samsung 16 Gb class 10 with yellow Tag, as i can read on Samsung website is a new sd one, Hope is ok like i saw on ur bench
In an italian website they are selling this Kind of sd @ half Price!
Is it Worth?

I have used the 8GB and the 16GB version and I must say I am impressed. Write speeds are as they stated in the specs 14-17 MB/s depending on the type of file you are transferring. These are impressive numbers for a Class 10 even. Most makers just make sure it hits 10 MB/s and that is it.

I already bought the 16gb version of this card and i must say, it is really fast. i copied the files from my "old" card to the adata with around 16 mb/s. sd tools says the old card can write 5 mb/s, the new one writes 12mb/s, its absolutely amazing

hello evryone , i would like to hear your suggestions on class 10 micro sd cards avalible atm. mostly to suggest manufacturer
well in India, i only know of Transcend.
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?
try use SDcard 16GB class 10..
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

are those numbers correct
Transcend stats seem more real

If it works then great but I can't imagine class 10 will be cheap, I picked up a 32gb class 4 for £20 or so from play.com, speed is about 1-3mbps write speed class 10 is much faster but lower classes don't take that long, just a thought

Bought a Samsung 16gb Class 10... It's Samsung's fastest microsd (as of Feb 2012). I emailed HTC before buying it and they said it was compatible. So, I ordered it.. Worked like a charm.
Original Samsung supplied (8gb, Class 2):
Writing: 3.11 MB/s
Reading: 6.05 MB/s
New Samsung (16gb, Class 10):
Writing: 9.64 MB/s
Reading: 11.16 MB/s
It works quite well on my DS.
Speed is Ok.

Was there any noticeable difference in speed during regular use of the phone other than transfer times like apps taking longer to load or the phone being sluggish in general? Im getting a 32gb class 4 for the equivalent of about $17 here. Only class 10 card available was 16 gig.

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?

Imo class 10 is the fastest SD-Class.

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.

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!
Confused in deciding the best SD Card for HTC Explorer?
Just see this thread and you will get best SD Card in your budget
All these SD Cards have great read and write speed and will also reduce random reboots on Sense4 based Roms...

I know its also good but I made this thread for the class 10 SD Cards
Class 6 SD cards are known to be optimum and bug free. Even though class 10 sd cards are faster, you won't probably be able to use the extra write speed on a phone. That kind of thing is good for a zero shutter lag camera. But if you insist on a class 10, san disk and transcend ate the way to go as san disk is quality ,plus they own the sd card patent and transcend is value for money. Plus, you can probably get a transcend from any local mallu run shop
