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

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

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.
I want to know what class of micro Sd I will buy for my X10mini.
There are may advantages using a class 6 or class 10 micro sd for video?
Can anyone tell me what is the transfer rate supported by this smartphone?
I bought a cheap class 2 16gb card, and haven't had any problems with it - music and video plays fine.
Remember the class rating of a card is the minimum data rate, rather than the maximum - mine manages 6mb/s transfer rates.
X10 mini from Rogers
a 16gb micro sd card came with my X10, i'll receive my x10 mini from Rogers in few days, i wonder there's any micro sd card come with it?
Unless you're doing HD video, a class 2 card is fine. I bought an 8gb class 4 card for around $29 from a computer store. Don't go to somewhere like officeworks as you'll pay $35 for a class 2 card.

Ok, so if I find a class 4 at a good price well, otherwise a class 2 works well.
But what is the max. speed of data transfer (to SD supported) by the X10?
i got a 16gb on ebay class 3 or 4 for about £15 ( Around double in dollers) works just FINE
Finally I have the solution to the problem
Many thanks to everyone for the answers, and I can also give a contribution (to me and others ) because today a technical staff of Sonyericsson wrote me that the X10 supports a micro sd maximum class 4, every other class does not produce benefits in terms of speed, are supported but will not be used at their maximum speed.

Be careful with e-bay as chinese sellers sell hacked 8 and 16GB cards, which in reality are 1 gb card which report themselves as 8 or 16 (and are marked 8 or 16).
I have bought a Kingmax 8GB class10 on ebay and it's very very good !
My x10 mini pro came with a 2gb card, doesnt say wich class I assume its class 1 or 2 as most stock ones are, from what Ive heard android phones dont take advantage of anything above class 4 from the OS at least, but you can speed up music and file transfer by getting a class 10 and using ur pc card reader to fill it up faster =) wont give you any better performance for phone tho..
I have a extra Sandisk MicroSDHC (8 GB) card. Works fine.
Sold my standard 2gb one.
i have kingston sd class 4gb and i buy it for 9 EUR from store and is working normal
I've bought Kingston 4GB MicroSD and it wasn't working. Maybe it should be useful to make a thread of compatible SD's.

Be interesting to learn the maximum throughput. Meaning sequential may be capped at 4 MB/s, wonder how fast it performs doing random R/W.

Anyone tried PATRIOT 16GB Micro SDHC 2v1 Class 4?
i heared that there are some problems with sd cards class 4 on mini pro, but class 4 and 6 works perfect
Im using Kingmax 8GB class 4 card. working just fine..
I just bought a 16GB PNY Class 10 card from here: PNY 16GB
Cheap at £17.99 and seems to work really well. SD Tools says it is writing at 9.3MB/s. My previous Transend 8GB Class 6 wrote at 6.5MB/s. Seems quicker when using camera: ready to take next shot sooner
My new card!
I just got a Transcend 16GB Class 2 for around $25! Class 2 doesnt make that a difference. I have set 3072 kb as the card buffer in MIniCM6
I had problems with a Kingston 16gb sd. Replaced it with a Sandisk 16gb, works fine now.
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
Between this two microsd card,sandisk microsdhc class 4 32gb and kingston microsdhc class 10 32gb,which should i choose?
usage:1080p HD movie,gaming etc
Either or both or whatever is cheapest .
jje
I would rather go for sandisk, cos their rating is better than others. Their class 2 card outran class 6 lexar and class class 4 kingston by far

Before getting a 32gb MicroSD card, is the SGs2 compatible with that capacity? Just got the phone yesterday and I am in love.

Yes it is. In fact it'll take the new 64gb cards, though you need to reformat it as fat32 first.

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.
