witch micro sd card is better kingston or pny??? i been reading about both and they seen to be both good..
I've never owned either one, I always buy sandisk. A little more money but I've never had any problems. That probably doesn't answer your question at all, just wanted to give some input.

You made the right choice there my friend. I swear by two SD card companies – PNY and Sandisk. Being a professional photographer as a side job, these are the only two I will ever put in my cameras, taken thousands of pictures on a DSLR shooting 10 shots per second in full RAW imaging and not once have I ever had one crash on me. My camera has always had a PNY in it from day one. My 3D has always had a class 10 PNY in it from day one. PNY is less expensive and unlike some SD manufacturers they don’t overrate their products. They rate them exactly what they are. Sandisk sometimes underrates theirs but either way with both of them the quality and speeds have always been exactly what they should be. I have had one Sandisk card crash on me since I have been using them, but any product can be defective that is just the reality of manufacturing.
That being said, I think sandisk cards are a little over priced. PNY has been in the game for just as long and in my experience has been just as reliable in the quality and just as fast as any sandisk card I have used and for a much better price.
I picked up a 32 GB class 10 PNY microSD for my 3D for about 60 bucks from Fry’s… that same card, with a sandisk name on it would have been in the 100+ range easily. Too much money if you ask me.
Like I said, you made the right choice.

I am getting roughly 4.9 write and 20.2 mbs read on the class 4 micro sd card that came with the phone. I got these speeds using SD Tools from the market.
What class 10 micro sd cards would you recommend? I was looking at patriot, but the read speeds reported in the amazon review are lower than what I have with the stock card.
Is the stock card just getting awesome read speeds, or is the results flawed? Anyone have experience with patriot? If not patriot, what would you recommend?
Don't really trust the results from SD tools. Seems really high when I'vetried it on this and my EVO 4G. Try Antutu benchmark. Has an SD test. Seems more realistic.

You can get other brands for roughly $26-$27...
I personally trust PNY over Patriot and Top Ram.

i had an alert set for it to notify me . it came in stock and arrived the day before the 3D release. it seems great so far, and i can take 20,000+ more laggy pictures to fill er up! lol.
havent did any benchmarks on it though, just subjectively seems good. no stuttering in any videos thus far.
man, with a 32 GB sd card I wouldn't need to carry a external drive, just my usb cable. 60 bucks doesn't sound bad either

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?
Anyone successfully use a Class 6 or 10 that was NOT a fake and actually worked close to speed?
This is a Class 10 but I don't want to guinea pig it

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.

Odd that you mention it, I have Lexar 32Gb Class 10, nothing on it. I keep everything on my desktop (naturally) but I use ZumoCast.
Anything above a class 6 doesn't really benefit on a mobile phone (especially android) Supposedly its actually bad for the SD card. I had 2 different brands of class 10 including lexar and it will only read at about 6mb. I paid extra money for nothing because my 16gb class 4 sandisk out performed them both lol.
The lexar fried by the way because it couldn't handle the constant flashing and whatnot probably. He rage quit on me!

I agree, and I disagree. I originally had a SanDisk 32Gb Class 2, I found a cheap KomputerBay 32Gb class 6 I got. The SanDisk was 3 times (seriously over 3 times) faster so I returned it the next day. When I lost my phone last month and I saw the Lexar Class 10 for $60.00 I got it? I have not done any benchmark test, but I'm happy with it.
I have heard that for most, its an overkill. But I have also heard it all depends on what your doing? I would assume games like GTAIII and MW3 would benefit from the faster reads as would HD Video?
Not my field of expertise, but Im happy.
Hope this hasn't already been posted, figured it was a pretty good deal.
64GB Sandisk
Thank you so much for posting this deal! I surfed through my wallet and through all of the left over best buy gift cards I had I ended up with a free 64gb microsdxc! This was an amazing deal to begin with, but you just cant beat that!
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.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
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

Is it formatted to a FAT32? That will probably save you from most headaches. I've had my 16g for almost 2yrs with no probs. I save tons of crap on mine. Movies, music, roms, apps...etc I haven't had a problem as of yet.

depending on what you use your micro sd for it depends on what class you should get, a higher class is not always better for your purpose. A higher class has better sequantial read write, while a lower class has a better read write. If you transfering files all the time, I'll stick to class 2 or max 4. If you're trying to shoot movies more of the time get a higher class. there's been a topic on classes of microSD, honestly you don't need anything more than a class 2, it has plenty more write speed than is used by our phone to shoot HD video.
ALSO lower classes are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY less prone to get corrupt. keep that in mind next time.
SanDisk is ALL I will EVER buy.
I've git a 32GB class4 that I bought before realizing I need a class6 for 1080p video recording almface: but I've had no issues. I've also had an 8gb class 2 that's NEVER had issues (other than writing really slow) and I've had it for yrs now

I picked up a class 10 Kingston 16gb on sale about 2 years ago and it's been working great. Loaded with movies, music, games, roms, etc... Use it everyday.

I have my original 8gb SanDisk that came with my Evo 4G on release date and it still works perfectly. I've always stuck with SanDisk because they last.
Must be bad luck. I have a 16gb class 6 that I use in this phone and my last phone. So close to two years old now.
I have an Adata 16 gig class 10 SD card that eventually went bad on me. They are supposed to have a lifetime warranty so I'll see if I try that.
That microsd gave tons of headaches. My Droid 2 would start acting funny once it went bad. It would freeze, pics would show up sometimes and sometimes now. Lots of forcecloses and my computer would read and read it. I pretty much had to reformat it to get it working again but a few days later the problems would pop up.
I went ahead and bought a samsung 32 gig class 10 once I got my Amaze. So far so good this thing is even supposed to be water proof with a 5 year warranty. It was around $37 from Fry's.
I have a 16gb card for 8 bucks from ebay that I bought about 2 year ago. Works great.
