MicroSDHC Class - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm interested in buying a 32GB MicroSDHC memory card for my Android phone, which Class should I go for which will benefit the performance of loading?

The highest class you can

The class 10, of course. The 32G c10, is affordable now, and just reasonably more expensive than c4 THIS MONTH.

Class 4 vs Class 6?

So I'm looking for a cheap microsd card to get. I got my 8gb Class 6 microsd for the g1 for 20 bucks but it's no longer in stock, so i'm looking for others.
So now my question is, what do you guys think is good for the Rhodium? I know the classes pretty much differ in speed
Class 2: 2 MByte/s - 13x
Class 4: 4 MByte/s - 26x
Class 6: 6 MByte/s - 40x
Class 4 doesnt seem as much of downgrade and i could have that 8gb for 20 bucks.
What do you guys think?
i have a class 6 microsd now...
i still am using a class 4 in my g1, and it runs smooth. The nice thing about the winmo and Manilla interface, is that it installs fine on the internal memory of the device. No need for swap, ext2/3/4/ or apps2sd. it all runs really well, if you can just get a class 4, get that one. but if you want/need a new class 6, may as well get that. The way i weighed it out was that if i ever needed to switch my G1 to a class 6, i had it, if not, my class 6 stays with my TP2.
btw, i picked up my microsd 8gig at a local frys for 22 bucks.
Picked up a PNY 8gb micro for 21 and some change after tax at J&R
Best Deal
I saw a 16 gig for a nice price. Class 2. Here===>http://www.jr.com/daneelec/pe/DNL_DA2IN116GR/
I had a class 4 8 gig and dont notice much difference.
Bestt is it can be picked up in store!
In my opinion the difference isn't that noticeable between class 4 and class 6, but you should search deeper because in Romania I bought an 8gb class 6 Kingmax microsd for about 26$, so if the difference is just few bucjs you could buy class 6..
Here an example http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Cla...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1261596150&sr=1-1
The class number only refers to WRITE speed, ie it transfers faster from your computer to mobile. The read speed is the same for all classes.
Yea, you don't really need to worry about the class unless you want a really fast transfer from your computer to store stuff on your card... Your phone won't notice different classes. I would get a class 2, but get a larger card for the smartest deal.
Oh, and I would avoid Transcend branded microsd cards. Just get a different brand.

[Q] New MicroSd HC Card

Hello,
I want a new MicroSd HC Card for my Hero.
After doing some research on the internet, I am confused...
Some people say, that it is senseless to buy an expensive class 6 or 8 card for the phone, because it can not handle the extra speed a card with a higher class has.
Currently I own a Toshiba Class 6 8gb Card,
but this one has not enough space.
I thought about buying 16 or 32gb.
Do you have any recommends for me?
I have a class 4 16GB SDHC card for my Hero (it's a sandisk one for a reputable retailer, NOT eBay). when I perform speed tests on it, it says it is a class 2, which is the exact same class as the 8GB SD card it replaced.
Some class 4's can perform better than a class 6, it seems to be luck of the draw. Apparently the CLASS refers to the read speed I believe, Class 2 minimum 2MB/s. I've probably got that totally a*se about face...
I am told the hero can handle 32gb cards, only reason I bought a 16GB was because the Hero was replacing a 16GB iPhone 3GS. I've had no problems whatsoever with it. Another user (on the forum) has loads of issues with lag from his 16GB SDHC card. No reason whatsoever. Just seems to be hit and miss.
I WOULDN'T BUY A SD CARD FROM eBAY THOUGH!!!
I got a 16gb sdhc class 6 from adata - have been using it nearly from day one, can't say I noticed a change in performance from the 2gb card that came with the Hero.

[Q] Recommended Micro SD card?

Hi Guys. I'm looking to purchase a micro SD card, 8GB or 16GB. Can my vibrant handle micro SDHC or just micro SD only. also what's the best and reliable brand?
I can pick up a patriot 16GB Class 4 or a ADATA 16GB class 6, both under 30 dollars. What do you guys think? any other brand or cheaper price?
For speed, get the Sandisk 8GB Class 6 card. Otherwise, I think just about any 16 GB card will do. I personally use the AData 16GB class 6 with no issues.
Go with the AData class 6
I did a speed test on the micro sd (look it up on my started threads), The Wintec 16gig class 10 is 32-42 bucks depending where you are (me in ca was 34.00) and it performed the closest to the class 10 specs of all we tested. It wrote 9-9.5 and read 11.5 -14
Good price and 95% honest claims...... ALL the other did not get close to their class 10 specs

ADATA 32GB Micro SDHC Class 10 $59.99(w/ promo)

These Class 10 32GB cards are back in stock at newegg.com so I thought I'd share with everyone - just ordered mine $59.99 using promo code NEWCUSTOMER10
Here's the link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211558
Enjoy!
Cool. Please post a review/benchmark when you get it.
I read somewhere that Class 10's have slow performance for 4kb blocks when compared to lower classes and that it can lower the performance of apps that are installed on the sdcard.
I have a Lexar Class 10 32gb in my Evo 4G. It never hits 10mb/s write, usually hovers just under 9mb, but the transcend 8gb class 6 card I had was around 11 mb/s write. I heard class 6 was the best balance.
Thanks I trust Adata, I find their cards to be just under Sandisk's grade.
Out of stock already.

MicroSDHC Class

I'm interested in buying a 32GB MicroSDHC memory card for my Android phone, which Class should I go for which will benefit the performance of loading?
You choose the class you want. Bigger classes are better. I own an 8 GB Kingston Class 4 microSD, it's fast, but more speed is always good.
Try an Class 6 MicroSD
Sent from my XT316 using xda premium
the class depends on the speed the higher class the faster the transfer rate i have a patriot 32gb class 10 bought off ebay for around $28 and when plugged into my pc it transfers 12mb/s
