Is there any way of knowing if a MicroSD SDHC card is class 2, 4, 6 If it's not printed on the card itself? Just trying to make sure I don't get screwed by some shops.
This is an example of a class 2 device:

You can clearly see the number 2 partially encircled in both that picture and on the bottom of San Disk's website here: http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1441

As Lancealot already told, there is ISO specification made by the SD Card Association:
SDHC Cards have to look like this:
As you can See there must be a SD(HC) Logo and the Speed Class Logo (sometimes "Class2" - or just "2")
If you buy one look that this card as those information...
SDHC Cards shouldn't look like this:
Incorrect Logo
OR
No Logo

I'm not sure about this, I asked the same question here. But the answer was:
sthoeft said:
Why do you want an Class 6 SDHC Card? For shure not for your PPC, at least I never saw a PPC witch can use the Speed of an Class 6 Card. I got an 8 GB Class 4 microSDHC and the PPC can't use the speed, the Cardinterface is too slow. With an cardreader I can copy 4GB of data (1:1 ratio of small an big files) in about 3-4 min.

I also got now a 8 GB microSDHC Class 4, and I am really impressed about the HC-SpeedClass of 4... But I also got a Adapter with this package, and when I want to copy large files e.g. wikipedia, tomtom maps, brockhaus etc. I use the adapter to gain the full speed.
...
keep me up to date what a speed class uses the hermes...

TRANSCEND microSDHC class 6 with 4GB
hello everyone!
just thought, i should add this here...
my new TRANSCEND microSDHC class 6 with 4GB seems to be working just fine!
i am using THIS ROM at the moment. wondering, if there are still some ROMs out there, which dont support SDHC cards...?
another questionw ould be, how to measure the speed on the PDA?
can Total Commander do this on the PDA as well?
any benchmark tools fpr Windows Mobile?

8GB Class 4
Thanks. I got myself a 8GB class 4 and it works great on my WM6.0.
Hi
I have searched but been unable to find a definitive answer. I apologise though if it is in the forum and I did not see it. Has anyone managed to get an 8GB class 4 micro sd SDHC card, e.g. Sandisk, working with an MDA Vario II running WM5 with the SDHC upgrade installed?
TIA

Can anyone with an X10 tell me if they have used a 32gb SD card on the X10?
Phone shops I have been to have no idea and aren't able to test this for me by opening up a box and putting a 32gb card in the phone.
Perhaps since the 32gb microSD card was released only 23 March 2010 the information on most websites is from 2009?
I find it hard to believe the hardware in this phone can only support 16gb.
Can anyone with the phone and microSD card let us know the real capacity please?
good point, i´d really like a 32gb card in my x10 when it comes!!!
I haven't used it, but the articles I read about the early 32GB cards to market said they use standard SDHC, and thus should be compatible with all SDHC-compliant hardware. Anything beyond 32GB will be using a newer standard that will require specific compliance (as SDHC did before).
kakahara, we have all got together and voted that you should buy one and test it out. We want you to know up front we appriciate you taking one for the team!
Will get mine soon(today or top a day or so from now) then i will try it out.

That's likely because when the page was put up, 32GB MicroSD cards didn't exist. Sandisk released the first one only two weeks ago. According to The Inquirer's article, it *should* work in most devices that support 16GB cards.

Yup, i think this thread is after the 'suck it and see' method, I am also waiting to hear the results!
(argh a 5 min per post limit on newbies as well? *sigh*!)
still waiting to hear the results.
damn! keep coming back here hoping the guy would post his results.. not yet. Anxious to hear if a 32gb works

Thanks for the confirmation.
Has anyone seen the 32gb cards out in the wild? (retail stores)
Seems like you can only order from SanDisk's own website.
I'm looking to get a 16GB card and was looking at getting a class 10 for the extra speed over a class 6, with looking to run Debian eventually. Has anyone got one on this phone? Is it worth double the price? The card that comes with the phone seems to be a class 4 as was hovering around 3.5mb/s writing which would be a little slow for Debian.
Any advice would be great.
Cheers
Hi,
here just arrived a Kingston 16GB Class10. The X10 comes with a default Class2 microSD wich is quite poor in writing speed. With the Kingston, that for the moment I have only tested with HDTune benchmark, I see that reading speed does not reach any further improvement (always 17MB/s), instead writing speed is great: never less than 12MB/s (the stock microSD rarely goes over 6 - 7MB/s in sequential write).
I will make a complete report pretty soon
Thanks for the report, I think I'll get the same. Even without running apps or Debian from it, the stock card is too slow in copying files to keep it.
Cheers
Is there an app that one can use to find out what class the SD card is?

Yeah, but it's buried in the phone. To access it, take off the battery cover, remove the battery, then take out the microSD card. The "class" number is written on the card itself, as a circle with a number on it.
Note, you've probably got a class 2.

Hello,
I'm using the card for 1 month now - I did some recordings in 1080p and watched them without any problems.
The transfer rate (from windows) is around 5.

I am using Sandisk 16 GB class 4 and able to play 1080p video without any lag. My write speed is 5 MBps (40 Mbps) and read speed is 20 MBps (160 Mbps) using SDTools. This is sequential read and write speed with 32 kB block size. From several 1080p I have, the bit rate is around 10 Mbps. So the write speed is almost 4 time the bit rate. Because of that I believe you can play and record 1080p movie without any problem with class 4 card. In case you might need it toms hardware has benchmarked several microsd card.

Thanks, true class 10.
Just wondering if anyone has tried a class 10 32gb micro sd card in the S3, and if they could share their experience?
I know some phones start to lag with 32gb cards and write speed for small files (a few kb) is quite poor, but does this affect the S3?
I just ordered a Samsung card but don't know if I should cancel and go for 16gb instead?

im using a samsung 32gb class 10 card myself, no issues here at all, read/write speeds are great.
in my opinion, go for the 32gb card instead, difference in price is pretty small and you can future proof yourself in case you need more space in the future.
try not to go for 64gb cards though, some custom roms require you to format your 64gb cards before they can be used

Hi all.. I have i9300 international,and i am having an issue... I have putted for the first time a microsd card 8gb Trascend,which i had in a Samsung Omnia with WindowsMobile.The problem is that the sdcard was readable from the phone,but not writable.. Then i tried to connect the phone with pc running XP,the same.I formatted the microsd FAT32 through the phone (was connected to pc) but the same again... After that i gave the sd card to a friend who has formatted using Hiren's cd.I inserted sd to the phone i was able to write about 700mb of data and after that was again unable to be written.I decided to buy a new one.It is a SanDisk 32gb class10.the same again.When i connect to the pc is writable...when on the phone..nothing.My phone is rooted running 4.1.1 JB. The same issue was present running official ICS 4.0.4... Any Help-Ideas?!?!? Thank you in advance!!

It costs another $20 extra here. worth a try. what i usually do is check their feedback stars. anyway, this was advertised by eBay itself, so less risk.
Anyway, even known retailers sell cards with fake capacities here. u test these cards on the spot., but it takes some copying of large sized files to find out the card is a fake. just got a 8 gb normal microsd for my nephew.. then discovered thru OTG that the card has a fake capacity as it disconnects and says inadequate space when only 128mb has been used up.

Has someone a fast microSD card (U3 speed rating)? Can you run Androbench on it and post the results. Thanks.
From what I've been reading, U3 isn't needed. I read the port is fine with U1.
But if you insist on a U3 card the top 3 are:
Samsung Pro+
SanDisk Extreme Pro
Lexar Professional 1800x microSDXC
(The 3 above are not listed in order of superiority, just listed by order I recall being 3 models that beat all others in the "name brand" scene.)
There is also a Chinese brand that has a history of being the 1St company to make the USB ports, who offers a 128GB U3 card at a phenomenal value and great specs too:

Thank you, but I'm only interested in the speed of the reader not the of the specific card.
And I mean the speed class not the Interface. I don't understand why they give them almost the same name.
And thanks you Swiftks but i have to ask, are you sure that you have set the target to sdcard. It looks too fast for sdcard. But caching could be also the reason.
Do you need the Speedtest with LG G5 or random device?
I think LG G5 has no UHS-II compatibility..

Yes from the G5. I also think it don't support UHS-II interface.
But it can take advantage from UHS 3 class cards (speed rating).
Thanks again Swiftks:good:, that look good finally a phone (at least for me) that uses the capabilities of my sdcard. 128 GB Samsung Pro plus
I'm getting the G5 on Tuesday. I hope the Samsung 128GB EVO+ will work ok, cause that's what I have in my M9
Update on the SD card functionality/speeds?
For my G5, I'm debating between the Samsung Pro+ 128 GB or the SanDisk - Ultra 200GB
From what I'm reading, the Sandisk SHOULD be ok to record the occasional 4k video...and that phones today don't take advantage of the max speed of a card like the Samsung pro+....but it's not clear if that's the case for the G5. There are various threads showing that the s7 definitely bottlenecks the cards, but does the G5? The Sandisk is $10 cheaper and offers more space so IMO, it seems to be a better value than the Samsung if the G5 can't take significant advantage of the higher speeds. Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks!
