Hi all!
What class of sd cards is the best for NT? Is it necessary to bay class 10 sd card?
I'm using a Sandisk Class 4 16gig card and it works fine. Absolutely no problems. Haven't tried a class 10 so I can't reliably say whether it would be better or not.
class speed doesn't matter much when it comes to using it with the NT. the reason is because the class speed just represents the write speed, whereas when you use your sdcard in the NT, the only thing that matters is read speed. So I would say a class 10 card isn't worth the money. I would go for like a class 4 or class 6 16gb card. I find that to be the sweet spot. hope that helps
i am using a 16gig hc class 4, show it in a video
I asked that question because i want to bay new sd card for my Nook, but i don't know if nook's controller allow me to use my card in full speed.
I am getting a 32gb Class 10 card (Lexar) that I paid 40 dollars for. I will let you know how it performs once I receive/install.
I downloaded SDFormatter and if anyone has suggestions on formatting or partitioning, let me know. I heard FAT32 but that is all I know.
I'm using an AmazonBasics class 10 32Gb card that I already had in my camera and it works great. I'll probably buy another just like it to put back in the camera.
i've bought a new silicon power's class 10 sd card. SD tools test showed me 15.9 write speed and 18.2 read speed.
Someplace here on forum I have read the best is to get a ScanDisk class 2 or 4 to work with the NT. Perhaps you could do a search on ScanDisk and find the exact post. BTW because of that recommendation that is what I use with my NT and so far so good that is working out great for me.
Manual suggests Class 6. Where did you find the 32 gig for $40?

The reason I am asking is this:
When I bought my nook, I put in an 8gb (4) Kodak that I already had and not a problem with anything. I recently bought a 32gb (2) that I found for cheap and it formats ok, but when I put book or music on it, the nt dumps half or more of them into the lost files folder. Just acting screwy so I figure that this card is not going to work for me. What are other people using?
I'm using a 32GB PNY class 4. No problems at all. I wonder if class 2 may cause problems?
I'm using a Class10 PNY 16gb card, It was cheap on Black Friday.
If any one gets the Nook-Tab to boot off a card, you will want to do some digging into what has quickest in the 'small block read' category.
All i wanted was some cheap storage, so i just got the the PNY, in practice i have no problems playing 720P on it, and i don't think it will be even close to a bottle neck playing 1080p either.
Check newegg. 32 gigs there for under 50, 15gigs for around 14, etc. i have links on my dropbox thread
I got a Sandisk 16gig, class 4 from Radio Shack for 16.99. I formatted it in SD Formatter 3.1 and have had 100% success with it on every download.
I started with an old 8GB Class-4 SanDisk and move on to a Class-10 PNY. The difference in file transfer is critical for me, I add a lot of contents and remove them when I'm done.
I wanted a card quick. I found a 16GB Lexmar at Office Depot for $18.
It's working fine, but has mostly data so far.
I did use sd formatter in every way possible, wiped the nt, formatted with the nook, all ended up with the same result. Has to be a card issue. More than likely it is because it is a (2), but not sure. Just a heads up to make sure you check the number before buying memory.
I'm using an Amazon Basics 16GB Class 10 card that I picked up from Amazon for $25. It's been working very well, and the speed tests out to what a Class 10 should run at.
I'm using a SanDisk 32GB class 4 card. According to SD Tools, write speed is 4 to 5 MB/s, read speed is about 18 MB/s. I haven't had any trouble with data files, but haven't yet tried to watch any videos from it.
san disk 32Gb class 4 $36 newegg. Works fine got it about two months ago when I saw the price.
Random SanDisk 16GB that I pulled out of an old OG Droid. It works as it should and I haven't had any issues with it.
I plan on using: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005BOMU3K/ref=pe_175190_21431760_cs_sce_dp_1
class 10 32gb for about 50 bucks, just waiting on the nook now.
There are lots of places that sell 'hacked' flash drives that report higher capacity then they actually are, you'll get lost files left and right with them. The SD card's wont look any different then a real one, they just aren't. Best to avoid any deals that seem too good unless its direct from one of the big vendors.

I just bought this Lexar 32GB for $47 (when it was on sale):
amazon.com/Lexar-MicroSDHC-Memory-Reader-LSDMI32GBSBNAR/dp/B004AM610M/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
I formatted it using the SDFormatter program posted in another thread here.
Transferring 192 ebooks (about 370MB) from Calibre to my Nook Tablet took about 3 minutes which is much better than my 8GB Class 4 SD card I was using. It would have taken like 40 minutes for some reason.

If I get one, I'll grab a 16 gig sandisk class 4 for 20$ on the newegg.
I ordered a Sandisk 32gb Class 4 from Amazon for $35 (free Prime shipping) to replace a 16gb I took out of my Iconia A500.

32 GB PNY lass 10. Working well.
I think you want a fast card. Where you can have issues is if you want to run your OS off of the SDcard. I did this on my Nook Color. Then it was very fussy about which card to use. For just storage (which seems to be all you can use the card for on the NT), I think any class 4 and up card will work.
Transcend Class 4 32GB from Bestbuy, $45. But I had a $25 gift card, so I used that to eat some of the cost.
Works great.

Save money and stick with class 4 or 6. Booting off sd for NT is not in the foreseeable future as of now.
Despite being a Class10, I have been informed by XDA members that the 32GB Lexar SD card (amazon dot com slash Lexar-MicroSDHC-Memory-Reader-LSDMI32GBSBNAR/dp/B004AM610M/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top) that I purchased for my Nook Tablet is not very fast at reading large PDFs and eBooks which is what I intend on using it for.
The term used to measure performance escapes me right now, but they said it was more important than just the fact it's a Class 10.
I searched the forums and can't seem to find the posts mentioning fast SD cards for the tablet, so I'm asking a direct question:
What are scientifically and objectively the fastest SD cards (at least 32GB) for the Nook Tablet?
I'm tired of waiting 7-15 seconds to turn a single page in a large PDF. I am not exaggerating.

currently i have a 32gb class 4 sandisk and i have some epub format ebooks that i am reading now with aldiko. turning pages are pretty quick. the general rule of thumb is this:
if you care about file transfer speeds as in copying/moving files from a hard drive to your sdcard, the higher the class the better.
if you care about performance as in how the files are read which in your case is what i think you want, class 4 or class 6 is the sweet spot.
Also wasn't there some issues with higher class cards and stye NT clashing? I think general consensus is that the class 4 works best the the NT.

i've used 3 class 10 and 3 class 4's
despite the supposed higher read/write on the class 10, the class 4's all ran faster and were more stable.
I think this is what you're looking for.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005633
I'm just a noob , but I think it also depends on what you're running. I dualboot and run CM9 straight off a SD card. I read sequential read/write is what essentially makes the class 4, 6, etc. But for running a ROM on it, it's all about random write. SanDisk is recommended in this case.
But by all means, check for yourself. Hope that helps.
SanDisk's 64GB card is pretty fast on the NT.

I'm running CM7 internal on a 16GB NT. Not sure about speed, but can report on these two brands/capacity.
I have two 16GB Class 10 Samsung cards (MB-MPAGA) and regularly use them to run backups. Used them last night to update to latest CM7 from Team B. They both work with no problems ever encountered.
The card that is in my NT for daily use is a 32GB Class 10 G.Skill that I got from Newegg. No problems with it either.
Attached are results from benchmarks on the three cards.
SanDisk's 64GB card is great!

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital
Class 2 for SD video recording
Class 4 and 6 for HD ~ Full HD video recording,
Class 10 for Full HD video recording and HD still consecutive recording
UHS Speed Class 1 for real-time broadcasts and large-size HD videos
Our beloved Nooks can't do any of that. The general consensus is that these such devices just weren't designed to take advantage of the higher speed cards. The test results in the chart referenced earlier bares that out.

Same here. There's an old thread on XDA somewhere that tested sd cards and r/w speeds. It was SanDisk hands down, class 4, either a 4 or 8gb. It was found that for these tablets booting from the sd card, the class 4 was superior to 10's.

You guys should try formatting your cards differently. I've never had a problem with cards.

Define "differently." I've tried cards formatted through both Win7's native format option and Gparted on my Ubuntu partition.

Either try a different file system all together, such as Ext3,or try formatting the SD card with your tablet.
Which is best 32GB memory card for Neo V..
n is the Phone fast with 32 GB card or getting Lagged??
i'm not getting any lag with my 8GB (class 4) card. 32GB will do good
Let me give you an advice.
To the best of my knowledge a 32 GB sd card will need more power to work which means it will draw more power.
Also it depends from whom are you gonna buy it?
Sandisk? (if it is sandisk then BUY IT)
Also at the store ask for its class.
Just something about classes.
A class 4 card IS always going to give you at least 4mb/s write speed.
Although this is not always true.. (i bough a Kingston class 4 16GB for 8.5 euro XD and it is working fine but it mostly runs with 3mb/s it is slow but it was the cheapest and bigger)
The higher the capacity of the sd the slower random read write speeds.
So if you are planing to move many apps on your sd i do not recommend anything class 10 like.
But if you mostly need it for gaming/music/movies then for CLASS 10
Oh and always but sd cards from the web they are way cheeper than from stores.
(my Kingston from a shop costs 16Euro -mostly like every card 1Gb=1euro)
Buy a card with a high speed class.
Take min. class 6 or class 10.
Buy a card from a well know manufacturer like kingston , San disk or Samsung.
I use a 16 gb Samsung class 10 and the write speed is fantastic. 12 mb/s.

The answe is yes and no.
What 32GB ?
A 32 gb class10 sandisk wont slow it down.
A 32GB CLASS 4 KINGSTON WILL SLOW IT DOWN
it depends on the cards class and company.
a kingston class 10 VS sandisk class 10
would lose sandisk creates very fast sd's
If you are willing to pay a lot of money then buy sandisk class 10
IT WILL BE EVEN FASTER THAN WHAT YOU HAVE.
It depends on everything!.
Also android doesnt use the full potentional of the sd card.
You will need to root your phone and use an sd booster app to unlock your cards MAX SPEEDS!
For 32gb class 10 is must. Otherwise video recording, playing HD videos etc will lag.
I use 8gb class 10.
toshiba 32gb class4 no lags so far
Exchange of files between the computer and the phone affects the importance of speed
Class 10 is a must. Im using imation 8gb card. Images and videos loads and saves faster cmpared to lower class.

I use this Samsung class10 32GB. http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/294822/samsung-microsdhc-32gb-class-10.html#tab:info
Previously used a transcend 16GB class4, the speed difference isn't that much, but you'll save a few minutes when making a CWM backup. (I went from 9 to 6 minutes).
But it was just €3 more than a class4 card, so worth the price.
My brother use Sandisk 32Gb class 4 for his MK16i (x.Pro)
Everything is working very well
Amazon has a sale on memory cards today. I'm wondering if the Nook Tablet (rooted) will be able to read the 64 GB cards.
Call B&N and ask them.
It can, yes. I recently purchased this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005V7WIA2/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00 and it works quite well. It was a little wonky at first, but after formatting it (in the NT) it became readable. Not sure if every 64 gig micro SD will work with the NT, this one definitely does. For me, anyhow.
Right from B&N FAQ
A microSDHC card with a storage capacity of up to 32 GB.
• Class 6 microSDHC cards are supported. Class 6 is faster than class 4, which is faster than class 2. The class should be mentioned on the packaging for the microSDHC card and printed on the card itself. If no speed is indicated, the card is a class 2 card. The speed of the card does not affect page display speeds. It can affect read and write speeds when transferring books, periodicals, and personal files to and from the SD card.
• The microSDHC card must be formatted with a FAT32 file system.

This is a pretty standard description that most devices and manufacturers use. However, I've found that 64GB microSD work fine when formatted to FAT32.
I dont doubt that they will work, but it just isnt supported by B&N so if you get a card that doesnt work they are going to say too bad so sad if you call/online chat with them. haha
Amazon and Best Buy currently have the "SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card" for $20 and was wondering if this would a good card for rooting and running JB on the Nook Tablet (16GB)?

According to the user submitted CrystalDisk Mark benchmark scores, that card should be excellent. And that's a really good value as well. Myself, I'm waiting for cheaper price on the 64GB MicroSD.

Class 10 SD cards don't work as well as class 4 or 6 with custom ROMs for Nook. Depends if you want to internally flash or use an SDC version.

The newer SanDisk UH1 cards are an exception to rule. They have excellent small-block random write speeds. (A link to CrystalDiskMark scores may be found at iamafanof.wordpress.com) My son's been running CM10.1 from an external SanDisk 64GB microSD card for over a month and hasn't had any problem with racing-car games from the PlayStore.
I've been using that card for the last 4 months. Haven't had a problem yet, it's blazing fast for media I put on it. Despite having over 5,000 epubs and pdfs, over 5,000 pictures and over 100 videos sent from phones. I install apps onto the internal though. So haven't tested any of that.
