I've been using a 16GB card with no problems. Hope to switch to a 32 GB in the not too distant future since I have a huge mp3 collection and most of it is 320kbps. I'm sure you know this already but, if not, when you buy the new larger capacity card get the highest Class # that you can because the Class number represents the minimum file transfer rate in MB/s. My existing card is a Class 6 so transfers data at 6 MB/s. Unfortunately, that's pretty slow. The only higher option is Class 10 or 10 MB/s and that's what I plan to get next time, although Class 10 is a bit more expensive.
Hope this helps! Good luck jonnyhall1bmx1!
I believe it could take the new 64gb MicroSDXC cards if formatted to FAT32, it definately can take a 32gb card no problem.
wow i had no idea i think a 16gb class 10 would do nicely thanks guys

I use a Sandisk 32GB card - absolutely fine. Waiting for the new 64GB uSDXC card to become available.... although there have been some queries raised about compatibility, I have seen at least one report from New Zealand where someone had tried one in a variety of devices and found OK. Just need to be formatted appropriately (FAT32 rather than exFAT).
PS. In theory the SDXC format is supposed to be capable of supporting up to 2TB (!!). Now that would be quite something in a TG01.....

Greetings Kevin,
Yep, 64 GB would definitely be nice. Haven't checked, but I hope SDXC kicks up the write-to transfer rate. Let's see...if we maxed out that same 64 GB card with our favorite media files, etc. that would be 64,000 MB/(10 MB/s) = 6,400s/(60s/min) = 106.667 min or about 1 hr 47 min. I'm feeling older just thinking about waiting that long! Now imagine we were maxing out a 2 TB card. That would take about 56 hours or 2 1/2 days to fill that bugger!!!
Cheers!

man that's crazy, although the 64's won't work with g1, I think its expandable capacity is only 32gb, but that's still big! Not sure of the class #'s on these bad boys, but I'm sure if there aren't any 6 or 10 class versions available yet it won't be long!
EDIT: nevermind, they're all 32's.....the 64gb has something to do with flash or whatever, IDK
32gb is the addressable limit of the SDHC standard.. when 64gb cards appear they will be SDXC, which means no current hardware can use them. Awesome.

As I'm a newbie, I can't post external links.... but apparently CAN post links where "http" have been changed to "hxxp". I spotted this link earlier today, from Morgan Computers - a BIG hardware-clearance company in New Oxford Street, London. £51 for a 32Gig SDHC card.
" The 32GB SDHC memory card is German made, leading edge technology at its best! It also comes with a lifetime manufacturer warranty.
The 32GB SD Card offers high storage capacity with a write speed of 10MBytes/s and a read speed of 20MBytes/s. It is ideal for new generation digital camera and other applications with SDHC cards slots.
Compatible with All SDHC devices
32GB stores approx 1200 x 10MP Photos, 545 Hours of MP3
May be in Eco Friendly Bulk Packaging
*Please Note: SDHC cards will only work in devices that are compatible with the Higher SDHC Specification cards"
I'm going to invest in one of these for my (new!) Desire - my two G-1's will have to continue to make-do with 8 Gig Sandisk TF cards.
You let us all know how that works.

I have two 32GB SDHC's, one is class 2, the other class 6.
The class 2 works but it's insanely slow and it consumes a lot of battery due to the extra hot time required for reads and writes.
The class 6 is extremely fast and doesn't cause noticeable battery drain.
So am I correct in assuming that the higher the class number, the faster the performance & lower the power usage?

Meh. Until there's a PAE firmware released for the device. Like how a 32bit OS can only handle 4GB RAM until you enable PAE. (In windows, you can simply "turn it on", in linux you need a kernel with a PAE module enabled)
PAE, or Physical Address Extension, should allow for a 52 bit limit on physical memory but only supports a 48-bit virtual address space. 4 × 10245 bytes, or 4 Petabytes and 256 × 10244 bytes or 256 Terabytes, respectively. (What that means is, if the hardware doesn't support 52 bit addresses natively, then they highest capacity that can be reached via PAE is 256 Terabytes through virtualization.)
What does that mean for an android device? A PAE Kernel Module could be created to allow for addressing of more than 32 Gigabytes, how far past 32 Gigabytes? That I don't know. I would assume at least somewhere in the realm of 128-256 Gigabytes. I doubt there will ever be a MicroSD card at that capacity though. By the time we see affordable solid-state storage as small as MicroSD with a capacity over 64 Gigabytes it is unlikely that MicroSD will even still be around, and I doubt anyone will still be using the G1 anyway at that point. We're talking another 4 years or so, making the G1 an antique by technology standards.
tl;dr version: Once 64GB cards are affordable enough for it to be practical to put the time and effort into a firmware mod (kernel module,etc) for an android version of something resembling PAE, you can expect -someone- will figure out a way to enable 64GB usage in the G1.
I think we're gonna see faces like this: all the time, when it comes to electronics industry... I can still remember my first Intel 486 with a few MB HDD!
Man one of these would be nice!
For me 6gb is enough..
For music etc i have a mp3 player!
Here we are 2 years later, 256gb micro sd cards are just starting to appear on evilbay.
Also USB thumbdrives that can handle up to 512gb cards

It is speed. Sandisk has the fastest random write speed which is what seems to cause those lock ups. SD card class is just measures one (relatively unimportant) indicator of SD card "speed" (sustained read).
Sustained read and write are great if you're using your card to backup large media or picture files but more or less worthless for running an operating system. Same principle is in place for SSD. Manufactures advertise sustained transfer rates but the important stat for a OS drive is access time (which determines the speed of random read/writes).
Here's a link to a 32gb sandisk for $30 http://slickdeals.net/da/mem-i/p46847290/k4569/u125110/r4
These work just as well as the 16gb ones.

32gb is theoretically the maximum, since 64gb cards will all be part of the new SDXD standard. Then again, several people have found that the 64gb SDXC cards work in their SDHC devices so we'll just have to wait until someone tests one in the nook color to know for sure if it'll support it (I wouldn't hold your breath, our hardware is fairly old).
I can certify that the 32gb works fine, as can numerous others who I've seen post.
Hello All: who has tried SD cards >32GB on the SGH-I777? What's your impression? Do they work, which ones, and how well? There are threads on 64GB SDs working on other devices, but nothing recent on the GS2 (I777). So what's the deal?

Sd cards > 32GB is called SDXC cards. the smallest is 64GB. They typically come pre-formated with exFat which our phone doesn't support. You will have to use PC to re-format it into FAT32 using large cluster size before you can use it on the phone (the hardware of the phone supports SDXC cards
As I understand it, the phone supports SDXC.
Many 64GB SDXC cards are comming formatted as regular FAT which will work in our phone.
The SDXC standard officially calls out an exFAT filesystem - exFAT will NOT work.
What's with the class on the card never really noticed it what's it mean oh sorry for the thead hijacked...
sent from interspace on my hacked telly...
Class rates the write performance of a card (in MB/sec). So a class 10 card has a write performance of at least 10MB/s (write speed varies depending on the size of data). Typically, cards read much faster than write (on average 2x faster).

Thanks. I read somewhere in another forum that someone was using a 64GB class 10 card formatted as FAT32 and got ~5MB/sec, suggesting that the format slows the card. My current 32GB micro SD gives me also ~5MB/sec (guessing its a class 4/5 without pulling it out), so a 64GB at 5MB/sec would be ok. I will get me one and report back. Just not sure yet which one. Sandisk? Samsung (haven't seen that one online yet).
Look what I just found:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/09/sandisk-unveils-worlds-fastest-128gb-sdxc-card-and-new-inand/
Class performance is only measured on a specific test... and can sometimes not be indicative of real-world results.
Sometimes people find that a Class 6 card does better overall than a Class 10, just due to being "better" in real world aspects other than what were tested for the class rating.
The class rating MIGHT only be raw write performance - the format of a card can have a major effect on performance depending on the underlying flash memory. For example, I recall a bunch of 4GB CF cards that got a HORRIFIC performance reputation at work - after further investigation, it turned out the only problem was that Windows defaulted to FAT32 on those cards, but FAT16 on smaller ones. The 4GB card formatted FAT16 was wicked fast.
My current class 2 16GB microSD card can give me 6MB/s write speed when I copy a small to medium sized file over. However, when I copy muiple or much larger files, the speed will eventually drop to 2MB/s. Most cards, especially cheaper ones, use a small cache to speed up the write performance and hide the slower flash memory. When you writes more than the cache can hold, the true performance of the card shows up. That's why a brand named card costs much more than no-name brands of the same class rating.

No, I'm testing it on my PC with 8GB of RAM directly. Don't trust phones for that task
My understanding is that most SD cards has a small block of flash cells that's much faster than rest of the cells. Small data chunks get write into those fast flash cells first before they write into the much slower mass storage cells. So, if you copy a large file into the SD card, you will see the write performance slowly drop as the cache fills up.

Yes, 32GB is max. Open case so you can see what sdcard goes inside. No it doesnt make your phone slower, I think. But 32+16 GB is too much, so it might lagg a bit.

As long as the SD card has good enough random reads/writes it wont slow the system down at all (aka as long as its a good card its fine, aka the Scandisk ones are a safe bet, and actually the lower classes have better random read/writes).
The only thing is that if you have a lot of media the media scanner will take longer to finish (derr).
Thanks everybody, was also gonna ask the same question.
Nope. Sandisk 64GB micro SDXC works just fine with SGS2. However, I digress...
I concur with Veyka, my Sandisk 32GB/Class 4 works more than admirably for pretty much any/everything I've thrown at it so far. And they're fairly cheap too (<$50 AUD for me).

It's better to take some class 6 or class 10 card (but class10 is abit expensive and its almost no difference in most cases on SGS2).
The card will not slow your phone by itself, but a lot of files or media can slowdown mediascaner abit and increase battery consumption by mediascaner.
Just wanted to jump in with a reminder. The class rating of the card refers to the write speeds. So the class is irrelevant when you're talking about the performance of opening/reading files. The class is only relevant when writing to it.
That said, get a brandnamed card. I recommend Sandisk. I have a Class 2 32GB Sandisk that actually performs (from my testing) faster than a Class 4 rating.

Yes SD card classes shows minimum write speed (because before classes some manufacturers was "cheating" using "×" as read speed)
But read speed usualy almost equal to write speed. So reading from class10 card is for sure faster than reading from class 4 card. Just check this article on wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#.C3.97_rating

That appears to be on a case-by-case basis depending on the card manufacturer.
From my own testing, my Class 2 32GB card can write at about 4MB/s (which is on par with a Class 4 card).
I also have a Class 10 8GB card which obviously can write faster than the Class 2.
But both of them are neck-and-neck when it comes to read speeds.

NP ;-) I paid a bit more than that for mine ($48 @ MSY from memory), so you're doing well if you can get one for 40 bucks.
I don't see the point of paying a lot more (double and more) for a card with a higher class rating for pretty much negligible improvement in "performance". We are talking about a phone after all, and this card handles 1080 video (recording it/writing it to the card) just fine which is probably the most "intensive" activity the phone is capable of.

I have a Samsung 16gb class 10........ its the best card i've had... All i will say, pay a little more for a good brand, or your next thread you will be complaining about errors and sd card problems
For normal day to day usage in the phone there'd be very little difference in a class 4 or 10 card. However copying 32gb onto a class 4 card is a slow progress !! Spend the little extra and go class 10.

Nice, not to bad at all. Glad you got one!
Don't forget to reformat the card in your phone - or else it won't work.
I've had mine for 4 months I think? It's great - I love it. I won't be able to live with less memory ever again - which will be a problem with most of the next gen phones seemingly going away from memory cards.

I'm not sure, but I don't think so yet (64gb).
This link shows benchmark pics of a class 10 16gb vs. SanDisk class 6 64gb, and the SanDisk is actually faster than the class 10 card.

I wish I knew what brand that class 10 card was. It's garbage. I just ran that tool thrice and my average read/write was 10.9/4.9MB/s respectively with a Class 4 SanDisk 32MB. That said, I'm also pretty pissed I paid 65 dollars for this card when I could have gotten better speed and more powahhhh for not much more if I waited. FML.
In case anyone doesn't know, the class rating on these cards is the minimum write speed the card will achieve, provided you're not copying a movie from a USB 1.0 PC or something else that would bottleneck it.

To be fair you can't go with the read/write on a card unless you test empty. My 32GB card surpasses the Class 10 it is if empty but get near full and it' just below a Class 6. So the tests mean absolutely nothing unless you are testing with an almost full card. It's time I moved to a 64GB card my 32GB is too full with the games on it.. LOL
Wrong.

I ran my tests without removing any files and it still exceeded the write speed for it's class. My card has 20GB free of the 30GB available.
