Recommendation on Fast Class 4 SDHC 16gb?

I'm about to Root my phone and do the Apps2SD.
Will a Class 4 be fast enough?
The 16gb class 6 is about $50. That's just too much for me. that'll put the cost for this phone to be +$600 (529+20 for case + 50 for card).
There's a 16gb Kingston class 4 on amazon for $30.
Just wanna make sure I don't waste money on this and the apps all lag or something.
Thanks guys.

class 2 should be just fine. cards of different classes only differ in their write speed but not their read speed. AFAIK, there's no Android app that needs write speed faster than the one provided by class 2.
The only advantage of class 4/6: they might be faster when transferring files from your computer to your N1's SD card via USB.

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.

Is there a big difference between Class 4 and Class 10?

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

You can have upto 32 GB..
The more the class,the better the speed and performance.
Buy atleast nothing below class 4..
and costs from Rs.200 to 2000 or even more..

The largest class is the class 10. (Class: 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10).
You need to purchase Micro SD Card.
The rest is all up already answered.

Our fit supports SD cards up 2 32gb of capacity. but it will definitely decrease d speed.2 avoid this choose 16 GB SD card. Remember, 4 higher speed u need a class 10 SD card!

Memory cards for Ace 2

I see here a lot questions about memory cards so:
Ace 2 internal memory have read up to 30MB/s so :
http://m.mymemory.co.uk/product?p=41391 that card is ok, have also up to 30MB/s and is cheap.
That card is the best and we dont need faster :
http://m.mymemory.co.uk/product?p=41591
She have up to 95MB/s read.
I have both and on first card I dont have lags in games but on that secund card loading times in games are impressive.
When you do a swap remember about minimum 30MB/s read in card which you want buy. Capacity of storage is your choice and it dont have meaning on speed of that card.
What card do you have guys?
(I sorry for mistakes in text but my english is weak)

But why do you need that strong cards, r/w speed is just when you are transfering some files (also speed can depend on usb port or card reader), i personally have class 4 card and dont need any better. I didn't experience lag in games or something like that.

Odp: Memory cards for Ace 2
On class 4 I cant play in vice city on full details ( on class 10 I can) A lot of games have lags on class 4. Games like : Amazing spiderman, gta vice city, gangstar 3, etc... and other wheare is a lot of data transfering and is open world.
Simply turn on vice city on FULL setings and you get a big lags ( freez on 2,3 secunds ) This is only on class 4, too much data dump because that card cant hendle it ( IF YOU HAVE SWAP )

Few days ago i downloaded gta vice city and on full details i have around 25fps (aprox.)

Odp: Memory cards for Ace 2
Me not. Only on 10 class. My system is sloooow on class 4 to slow writing in some pleace.
You can check it. Instal gta 3 on internal memory and turn it on on full details ( lights, better tekstures etc...) and you dont get lags but then do that same on class 4... (you get lags,litle but lags)
Amazing spiderman - is not playable on class 4 (JB/GB) but with good class 10 and JB you can play it on medium settings. Not allways people need that but I have from people ~10 questions about it on xda on each day so I write my opinion here.I write it from my experiance.

Odp: Memory cards for Ace 2
Its depands of card quality and what type and size of file use that aplication. I have tested my phone and cards on SD Tools.

AW: Memory cards for Ace 2
Today I bought a FlashRaptor MemoryTools 32GB class 10 Microsd for 20$.

but i test it
reads:20mb

It can be. Ace 2 have 30MB/s ( SD Tools )
But it can by up to 30MB but on another files. Simply - on litle files like .pdf .jpg can be fast but slow on big files like movies. You can try that card on Windows in card reader with some tests programs

I think if you also have a original card, there is no difference between your both.
Question: Are the massively lags, while and after installing an app, also caused by my class 4 card and modified vold.fstab?

I dont think because i have class 4 and everything runs smooth.

hi! i want to buy a new sd-card for my s3 mini. i had a 32 GB Sandisk ultra class 10.

If you're using maclaw's roms you can use a 64GB card.

I have a sandisk 16GB, no problem, good speed, works fine !

I have a Transcend 32GB, class 10, kind of like the one you had ozi5783. Bought it a few months ago, but if I knew then that I was going to use CyanogenMod, I would've waited a little bit longer, and bought a 64GB one. Not that I need that much space, but it would just be awesome to have... On the other hand, I guess that then I could store ALL of my favourite things (media) on it, and that's always handy.
Now, as far as I know, the stock phone supports "only" up to 32GB microSD, but like mauam said, with maclaw's roms you can use a 64GB card. Don't know if anyone tried it, though...
Btw, my card works nice and fast, no issues whatsoever... Very pleased.

Just to clear any possible doubt, I use a 64gb card

Well, I finnaly did a test with A1 SD benchmark, and this is the result. I use CM11 by maclaw.
Our phone doesn't support UHS speed, so I'll just buy a 64gb when I'll have the money.
I will try SD booster to see if I get different results and post some screenshots after.

I use a Samsung Pro 64gb uhs1.
Writing speed is about 10mbps and reading is 20mbps.
It works well on Maclaw's roms, but is not reconized on Stock rom.

I have a common 8 Gb, works fine with the Cyanogen 4.4.2. I don't think is worth buying a expensive one.

I have a Transcend 32gb and it works well specially on maclaws rom.

I'm using a Kingston 64 GB SD-XHC class 10 on Stock Rom, and even without root, I'm able to read it flawlessly :good:

I'm using a 32Gb Kingston external card and it's awesome!

I have a Kingston 8gb but I'm planning to buy a 32gb.
Does the size play role to the speed? I read that if you have an external SD card with big capacity, let's say 32gb, the speed would be slower if you compare it with an external SD card of 8gb. Is that true?

I lost my transcend 32gb class10 and I'm back to old 4gb class4 I lost many games

It depends on class of it not size of it like 4,6,10 obviously 10 is faster and we can use 6and 10 for expanding ram

I Have a Kinkston 16Gb HC Class 6 and in have 2048Kb for cache. It Works perfectly on Mclaws ROMs 10.1 & 10.2 and CM11

32GB Class 10's tend to work best for me.
