Hi
I am thinking about buying the above sd card (very good price from a german ebay store).
Has anyone tried it with the qtek 9090.
Any problem report?
I have this card in my M2000 and it works fine.
How's the battery drain on the qtek with it in? At some point I'm going to have break down and get a bigger card so I'm trying to find the biggest with the least amount of battery drain. Thanx
The 32gb athena mod thread has been about for a while, but with the imminent release of 16gb micro sdhc's and 32gb micro sdhc's to follow shortly after is there still a need for such a mod?
Would you risk bricking your device and voiding your warranty to install an ssd or prefer a memory card as an alternative. I am reliably informed that the read/write speed of internal drives is quicker in benchmarking tests, but how much bearing does this have on performance? what i know from experience is that the transfer speed of sdhc cards with a reader is much quicker than the software alternatives of wm5torage and activesync.
I would like to hear what you think the advantage of an ssd over a memory card of the same capacity is. If you were to buy a 32gb card would you even consider removing or disabling the microdrive to save battery life? Or would you prefer the full 40gb and utilise the two storage mediums for different purposes?
I think replacing the internal microdrive with a 1" SSD would help battery life as well as give us even more potential capacity. We would be able to have full movies on the drive instead of having to use an SDHC card with the lower transfer rate.

The speed of an SDHC card versus an SSD for viewing movies is completely irrelevant. An SDHC is MORE THAN FAST ENOUGH to watch a movie smoothly, even one of a very high bitrate.
The transfer speed of files TO an SDHC card using a card reader is VERY HIGH in comparison to transferring files over activesync or via WM5torage to an internal drive however. This for me is the crucial factor, since i'd much rather be able to copy new films onto a card as quickly as possible. The only way the extra speed of an internal drive might make a difference is with the installation of programs, but you would still be able to install programs to the 8gb microdrive AND have a 32gb card.
Try copying 2gb of data to your microdrive with wm5torage, and 2gb to an sdhc card with a reader.
Actually, my choice is C, which is to do BOTH the options listed.
That's basically what i said eaglesteve.... don't want to limit out memory potential... the MD is cack compared to a decent SSD module - not due to its access times which for MD are good, but due to its shock resistance and battery life.
I agree, Both would be great, but the cost of the 32 Gig unit is going to be a lot more than the difference between the X7500 price and the X7510s.
Realistically our current options pricewise will be the X7510 with 16Gig internal and a 12Gig MicroSD card.

For me, replacing the 8GB MD with a 32GB SSD would be, as they say in the UK, "the dog's bollocks..." I am a pilot and the MD, in addition to its shock and vibration sensitivity, is only good for 10,000 ft and below in unpressurized cabins. This alone would be enough to make me switch. Mechanical disks are in the early stages of extinction.
In case you're looking for a good deal on a 32 gig Micro SD card: (it also comes with 2 adapters

I know it's only class 4, but still a good deal. I ordered one already.
Hey guys..
I am thinking about buying a new SDcard.
I have thought about buying a microSDHC with adapter to be able to use it in other devices (smartphones) too. Will I use performance because of the adapter? Anyone has tried this?
Thanks in advance
edit: I am thinking about buying one of these sandisk ultras with 32 gb
I do not think the adapter has any impact on the card's internal mechanism from where the performance comes. It would be like an external SSD having different performances depending on the size of the USB cable, which doesn't make sense. Unless the adapter is of very poor quality...
The thing that might affect performance is the device that is using the card (device's card-reader quality, device's performance).
So i am deciding now between an sandisk ultra or an sandisk ultra extreme. Will the Prime be able to handle the improved reading/writing speeds of the "extreme" one? People seem to need usb3.0 card readers to fully handle the speeds, so i am a bit in doubt, that the prime can use it?
Hi!
I bought a brand new Sandisk microSD class10 for my S4.
I tried several format and test and it only shows 8.5mb/s in SD Tool (USB S4), 7mb/s in H2testw (USB S4),10.5mb/s with Crystaldisk (on PC) but 20mb/s in HD Tach (on PC)
So is my Class10 too slow for a class10 or it's normal?
