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.
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?
Hey everyone Today's Amazon Lighting Deal has the
"Lexar MicroSDHC 32 GB Class 10 Flash Memory Card" for only $32 with free 2 day shipping if you have Prime.
I'm still a noob and can't post links but just go to Amazon and go to "Today's Deals" on the top left.
Hope this helps anyone looking for a 32 GB class 10 card!

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.
hi... my first post here... Ive been looking around this forum and yet finding perfect answer for my curiosity...
im using 8gb class 10 transcend microsd and thinking to upgrade now. I know 8gb its kinda late for this time... and my question is can i use any UHS-1 microsd card? I have 2 consideration of using Sandisk Ultra UHS-1 32gb class 10 (read up to 30mb/s) or Sandisk Extreme Pro UHS-1 32gb class 10 (read up to 30mb/s)
The extreme pro doesnt have the 32gb but price is still a little bit more expensive then the 32gb ultra. But i read in some forum (cant post outside link for noob ) sandisk itself say that UHS-1 is equivalent to class 10. Did anyone really test them on their fascinate? which one is better and what should i choose because im i dont want to pay more for a things that i cant get or use.
should i use ultra, extreme or just stay at the class 10 and upgrade the capacity only...?
tq
anyone...? this fascinate subforums are very quite...
at least the developers room are still keep on going...
