is sandisk class 4 going to be recommended again?
On the Nook Color I've read the sandisk are usually the most stable and the class 4 was the most idea (even over higher classes.)
I was wondering if this is still the case before I spent 20$ on a 16 gig sd card.
Without a doubt. It has to do with sandisk class 2 and 4 cards providing random access to small amounts of data at speeds that are 10-100 times any other brand.
All the other brands are trying to make really big chunks of data write faster (think copying over movies faster) so I don't see anyone competing with sandisk here.
you didn't specifically mention what you were going to do. if in theory you plan on running cm7 on a sd card, then go with sandisk class 4. If you are only using it for storage and plan to run cm7 off of internal you can get a higher class rating for higher transfer feeds of large movies etc. unless you plan on running applications off of sd card where I think you would want the sandisk.

I'd suggest class 10 honestly ...
I have a Kingston class 10 16gb and a SanDisk class 4 32gb and the class 4 SanDisk trumps the Kingston everytime, except during transfers directly from a computer. The SanDisk benchmarks much better also

The title of the thread specifically mentions booting, which means specifically running an operating system from the card.

I saw 10 card in another thread (since deleted?) where someone posted about a sale on a 32GB class 10 card. Without researching the card I happily posted to the thread saying that class 10 sounded like a good idea as I like to write gigs and gigs of data (MP3s, videos) to the card for consumption. I didn't stop to think about random reads or writes nor did I consider other uses.
This same kind of info was then posted there. I removed my foot from my mouth and noticed that, yes, in most cases, normal people doing normal things (i.e. running apps, writing small files, etc.) will generally be more happy using a class 2, 4, or *maybe* 6 in their tablet. Save the class 10 for the high-def video camera that needs fast, sequential writes. Save the dough when getting a card for your tablet: do some research and pick the card best for you based off REAL-WORLD BENCHMARKS. (Save you some time - you generally will do just fine picking up a SandDisk card.)

i have class 4, 6, and 10 and honestly i cannot tell the difference under normal use. The only reason I got class 6 then upgraded to class 10 was for apps2sd on my nexus. I havnet done any formal tests, but from practical, every day use, no difference.
I do transfer files a lot from pc to phone so of course class 10 transfers them quicker. But normally you are not running many things off of SD, maybe music, which class 2 or 4 is good enough for.

I am still on the good old 4 GB card I bought a couple years ago. Fares pretty good for all day-to-day activities.
I just put in a class 6 16GB and I don't notice that big of a difference. I don't think you'd really notice a difference unless you were looking hard.
The higher the class of card, the faster the read/write speeds are. Things is, you will only see these speeds if you are transferring big files. If you are just putting MP3's and small videos on the card, you won't see much of a difference. Sequential Write speeds are significantly faster than Random Write speeds, but Sequential Read speeds vs Random Read speeds, there is not much difference.

Have you tried the Class-10 card in the Atrix? If so, which model/size is it? Thx.
Everyone: Thanks for your inputs!
Class Speed rating ONLY applies to WRITE speeds - has nothing to do with read speeds. Primarily designated for camcorders and other devices that need guaranteed minimum speed for writing data.
The camcorder on the phone doesn't require a specific card class, so spending money on higher speed cards is not a great idea. If you are copying movies from pc to sd regularly then it will save you a bit of time - that is all.
http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/speed_class/ and wikipedia explain SD speed pretty simply.

Saw a post FROM MOTO on the moto forums that says the Atrix can make use of the extra speed up to Class10.
FWIW.
My Kingston class 10 32GB card does not play nice with webtop2sd. However, I can format it with the system. I have not tried to write files to it but writing fat32 filesystems works for sure. It seems as if I can read from the card too. I see the folder created during the fat32 partition creation.
The issue I seem to have is that it cannot create extfs filesystems on the card using the phone. I can use gparted to make the filesystem, but then webtop2sd cannot read it.
Although 99.999999999999999% of the MicroSD Cards which are 32GB are Class 2, I noted that the 16GB which Verizon stocked in the Rezound is a Class 4. I suspect that means we should go no lower than Class 4.
Anyone know of a good and legitimate 32GB SD card which is Class 4 or even better? I note that Class 6 and Class 10 all tend to be brands I have never heard of (other than 1 by PNY).
Recommendations are appreciated.
Sandisk has a class 4 32gb micro on Amazon for $37. I just ordered mine, and it should be here in a few days. I'll let you know what I think of it when it gets here.
Anything faster?

Yeah, the only real difference is the transfer time. If you're swapping a lot of data on a daily basis (like copies of your BluRay movies), then a higher class rating makes it go faster, but doesn't have any other effect on the performance of the phone, to my knowledge.

JD, there's a thread elsewhere on xda that talks about card speeds and basically recommends that the sweet spot is a 32g class 4 card. I have 3 of 'em (all bought at various sales just under $40). One is in my Rezound; one is in my tablet, and one is kept synced to the one in my phone via Microsoft Synctoy....because all cards ultimately fail.
i was reading somehwere that this may affect the speed of how videos write to the card if you save to card..is that true?
i'm gonna get a 32 gig as well, but should i go for class 4 or 6?

That's a valid concern. I don't know the bitrate at which the camera records the various formats that it is capable of, but I'd say that a Class 4 is a safe bet in any case.
For a smartphone doing HD recording you want "atleast" a 4. Anything slower might get stuck in swapping. Personally I think it's one of those things with go with what you can afford/feel comfortable with. Though I'm also using a class 10 16GB since I can't stand being bogged down on transfers. I mean honestly, it's an LTE phone, not an HD camera. I don't need a 32gb, I stream everything.
Play back is a different story, a class 2 32gb works fine as long as the app does proper buffering. Though it will always load faster with a faster SD card.

The Amaze can handle a class 10 memory card. This would be preferred as it has the fastest read and write speed that I know of. I am currently using a 16GB class 6 SanDisk and it works really well.

Confused
My Amaze is on it's way to my door this Wednesday, and I too am on the hunt for a good class 10 micro SD card. I had a Patriot 32 GB ordered from Amazon (it had 4+ stars), but then I started reading specific user ratings. It almost looks as though there is a problem with quality/consistency with many of the 32GB class 10s. The Patriot, and several others, had quite a few recent users complain that their class 10 doesn't run any faster then their old class 2 or 4. (The complaints I tried to focused on are from users who had run speed tests and didn't just provide seat-of-the-pants analysis.) Admittedly, I was going for as cheap as I could (the Patriot was only $47), but I looked at several others and they had spotty speed comments as well.
Does anyone have specific knowledge or insight on this? Is it an issue with lower cost manufacturers whereby one card is great but the next can be dreadful. Is it the nature of the beast?
I appreciate your comments.

UHS-1 Cards
I just read where UHS-1 class microSD's "were made for mobile devices". Something about being specifically designed to work with those operating systems. Anyone have experience with any of those? They're awfully expensive.
If you uses a class 2 SD card with a capacity of less than 16Gb and mostly uses it to transfer small files between your phone and PC - that would be sufficiency enough.
If you intend to use a bigger card, say, 32Gb or 64Gb and you are doing a lot of transferring MP3, movies, pictures ect ... especially if moving BIG files, say, more than 1 Gb each (e.g a full MP4 movie may take up to almost 2Gb)
OR
You are frequently backup your SDCard contains and moving them between PC and phone. You will appreciates the higher speed/class of your SDCard. Higher class means higher speed in reading and writting hence saving you a lot of time.
You will not notice much differences between a class 2 and a class 10 card when using it inside your phone though.
An SDCard speeding test's result will be differ from devices and that's exactly manufacturer's stated on their package/info, but, basically you got what you paid for. As we all know, Sandisk is the most expensive card out there and there is a reason for it, just do a little research and you'll know why. Sandisk classed their card at the minimum speed that their cards are capable of, whereas other manufacturer tend to class their card at the average speed that their cards capable of. Meaning a classs 10 Samsung/PNY/Patriot card may not capable of reaching the claimed speed (because, well, results are varies on devices) and the result maybe a little lower than claimed (I've tried Samsung class 10 and PNY class 10 test and the result is somewhere more or less than 9Gb/s writting).
Anyway, a class 2 16Gb Sandisk card is good enough for an average user whereas a higher class/capacity card will increase performances for those who demand more for their task/hobbies/usage
I would agree with the post above, right on the spot. I had a 8 gb class 4, 16 gb class 4, and now 32gb class 10. Did not visibly notice speed in my phone but did notice it when transferring files. You will only benefit when transferring larger files like 1 gb or more.
I only transfer my recorded videos, pictures, mp3 and that's it. I think i once transferred a movie or two.
What would have taken me 1 hr on 16 gb class 4 took me 20 - 30 min on my patriot 32 gb class 10. No problems on it since nov so far.

anything over class 4 sacrafices random read/write speeds...meaning, just to write faster the data is more fragmented. Over time, the speed becomes slower and the table used to keep track of data must access parts of the fragments that are free...this reduces performance in higher class cards...if you look at Sandisk they their class two performs way above the minimum write speed, almost double...I always buy sandisk...nothing else...their quality is unmatched...they are the pioneers...A class 4 or class 6 sandisk would outperform many of the class 10's that people are buying right now.
Sometimes as Binary's card has, they lose integrity because of this reason...the index becomes messed up and the data becomes lost eaiser in higher class SD cards and lower quality SD cards...I believe Sandisk tries to minimize this even in their higher speed cards...

If you guys take a look at the bitrate of the 1080p video and also add the audio bit rate it doesn't even come close to being 2 MB/s write speed which is a class 2 SD card...the highest bitrate for video I got was 11182 (kilobits per second) = 1.36499023 megabytes per second...add the 127kbps of sound and you barely have 1.4 MB/s write speed needed for the HD video recorded by our amaze...hope this clears things 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.

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.

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.

Brand new 16gb NT. Dual booting CM7 from the SD card, which is a brand new PNY 16gb Class 10. NookOS still on the internal. It just seems unstable-y to me.
First of all I have the wifi issue which seems to be common. It drops the signal quite a bit even when I have a seemingly strong commection and also doesn't always want to turn right on after sleep. I'm willing to chalk some of that up to my router, especially the dropping, but I thought I'd mention it for posterity.
I also get lots of reboots. It seems to happen most when I have a few things running. Have the gall to install an app while having Gmail open, then the audacity to open Gtalk on top of that? Boom! Reboot. You get the idea.
It's also just sluggish in general, be it with web browsing, games, music, etc. Netflix makes me feel like I'm running it on a Pentium II. And Yahoo mail arguably doesn't work it's so slow. Lots of system notifications and "force closeds."
I've also had the issue where I couldn't get it to boot CM at all. It would get to the splash screen then freeze and reboot. More than once I had to reformat the card and start over.
Surely this isn't what I should be experiencing. Will it help to root it and install to the internal? I wanted to keep NookOS on there in case I want to sell it and upgrade.
Any thoughts?
I started with the PNY and found the same thing. I switched to an 8 GB Sandisk Class 4 and could not believe the difference. It has to do with the small block write speed and the PNY is SLOW.
There is a lot of material in the forum about what brand and speed of micro sd to use. If you are curious you can search.
I have a 32 GB Sandisk Class 4 on order and intend to transfer to it when it comes and I find out how.

Its likely because you are using a higher class sd card. Drop down to a class 4 and you'll see an improvement.

So is it the class 10 cards altogether, or just PNY?
I would say class 10 in general is a bad idea. Its a misconception that higher class = better, in general. They are better for camcorders/digital audio recorders, but that's about it. In general you should stick to class 4 cards.
I can't speak on that brand personally. I only use SanDisk cards.
Amazon has the 32 GB Sandisk Class 4 for less than $16. You can get 8 gb for less than $8. Go for the bigger one if it fits your pocketbook.

Ok, so I have to get a new card. Maybe I can unload this one on Craigslist.
What about just rooting it and installing to the internal? The only thing is now I guess the NookOS is bricked as I cant get back into it. Can I unbrick with a class 10? The thread said to use a class 4.
If you want to run internal cm7, simply create a clockworkmod bootable sdcard (same process you did for cm7 on sdcard, but with the cwm image). Then download the cm7 zip file to the sdcard or your internal memory, boot into clockworkmod via the sdcard and install from zip. Download and install gapps in clockworkmod as well if you want the play store/google apps.
A quick question off topic...I went to get a copy of the internal CM7 and the link in the development forum isn't working...any idea where I can find a working link?
Thanks,
Nikkie
