I'm using a 32 GB Class 10 SanDisk's microSD, and I knew that SD accelerator apps improve SD/Phone performance, but also I read about risks about use that apps. Is it true that are risk on SD card?
The only thing I can imagine is that they increase write access so that it dies faster.

if your experiencing slow sd card write/read speeds then you can try but i have read in other forums it decreases the life of memory card i use a class 6 8gb and my experience is just great :victory:

why would you need a sd-booster for a class10 mem. card?? there is no need, I got class 6 & performance is more than fine & if you use some booster, its goona decrease card's life..

Does it make full use of class 10 microSD cards ? or it caps them down to a lower speed ?
The reason why i'm looking for the fastest possible is that I am using Android and since it takes a while to boot I was thinking of using a faster SD Card to make it boot faster.
I am currencly using a Kingston 8GB Class 4 microSD card.
I could be wrong but Android boots off the ROM, not the flash memory, so the only speed increase you might see is in the initial loading of apps (like your home launcher, etc.) and that's only if you moved them to the SD card. as for there being a performance max on the HD2's ability to use a faster memory card, I'm not sure, but personally I'm using the EVO with a class 8 and I see a difference from my previous class 6.
Tnx for sharing, however currently the only way to use Android on the HD2 is to have it on the SD Card the ROM is still occupied with Windows Mobile.

You ARE wrong !
Increase performance?
I've a 32GB class 10 sd card, very curious to know if having another place for apps to load from would increase or decrease performance?
Thank you

Although I tend to try to store my data mostly on my sdcard the internal memory def is faster at reading and writing ..

Don't know how much will it cost.
Priority is card speed. Higher class is faster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating
dont know the cost...my advice go for sandisk HC mem card class6 or a class 10...ur phone performance vl increase gradually ..
iam using a class 6 16gb my xpm is pretty faster than before.

Phone performance isn't affected by SDcard.
The only difference you can see is when you read/write files from SD, nothing more.
Web browsing doesn't get faster with higher class SDcard. Calling doesn't get better with higher class SDcard.
And Class 4 is enough for Android, I've never had problems with it and the speed is enough for me.

If you want to copy about 4 GB of data to SD from PC with class4 card and then copy same file/s to class10 card the time is a lot shorter with class10!
This is why many people use higher card class.
And when you want to have system in externel memory* this require minimum class6 card to avoid lags.
* e.g. HTC HD2
my Sdcard is 16GB class 10 (sillicon power) and write speed is 8 - 9 MB/s and read speed is 16 - 17 MB/s , this is very nice SDcard

I agree with u...but music player and video playback performance increases...and also after a reboot when u have apps installed in the sd it loads faster in the app drawer.

Hi guys
I'm looking to buy a Micro sd card, samsung 32GB, class 10
So my questions are:
1- If someone already using sd card just like this one, tell me is it working fine with your android device?
2- Do you think that patriot or some other manufacturer cards are better then samsung?
3- Does your phone in some cases really feals faster with an sd card with bigger class number ( does reading speed of your card effect phone's speed? )
4- I heard that class 6 ( 6 MBps ) is more than enough for android devices, and also that some class 10 cards slow down a device, is it true?
5- Will i ever have enough memory on my phone
I know that there are the same threads on forum somewhere, but i need answers quickly and thats why im opening this one..

1. It works fine.
2. It just user preference. Their both great.
3. Reading and writing to the SD card will be faster. It won't affect phone speed unless your device is using certain mods such as swaps, int.ext. sd swaps, etc. or you have apps on your SD card.
4. While class 6 may be quite fast for a device, there is no way a class 10 could be slower.
5. That's up to you .
tnx Theonew
if i understood it well, an app called swapper 2 can allow device to use some memory from partitioned sd card like a ram memory and provide it a slightly better multitasking, and speed.. ?
And i have read that it can also affect an sd card's life..
So, is it worth it?

Yes, swapping can degrade the life of the SD card but it is worth it if your device is a low-end one (and slow). It will assist in stuff like gaming, etc.
No, I really don't think its worth it. It really affects the cards life and does not really add much ram, even for slow phones...

An additional 256mb is quite a lot compared to 192mb (total).
Quick benchmark of Samsung SD card class 10 in the ASUS Transformer TF101.
Code:
[email protected]:/home/kuisma# hdparm -t /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
/dev/block/mmcblk1p2:
Timing buffered disk reads: 60 MB in 3.09 seconds = 19.43 MB/sec
Reference, the internal nand flash (/data partition):
Code:
[email protected]:/home/kuisma# hdparm -t /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7:
Timing buffered disk reads: 52 MB in 3.10 seconds = 16.79 MB/sec
If comparing read vs write, large blocks vs small, sequential vs random etc, the SD Cards wins a few times, the internal flash a few. It's more or less a draw. I would say this SD card got "good enough" performance, although far from SSD performance.
good enough for smartphone

Hi,
What I'm trying to find out is would using just an in-built memory on an Android phone be generally faster than SD usage? I'm particularly interested in using an Android phone as a sole media device. With a 32GB SD I'm generally not happy with speeds etc. Would getting a 32GB device with that memory on the device improve data transfer with the computer and accessing the data on the phone?
Thanks for any info. that helps me understand! :good:

In the general case, a Class 10 SDcard got about the same speed as the internal (mtd or mmc) disk.

This. Not all SD Cards are the same. Make sure yours is a class 10 card and not one of the slower versions.
I did start to have a look at that recently. I'm using a class 4. I seen you can get a class 10 very cheap now, compared to a few years ago. I purchased the 32GB SD as a (minor purchase) test to see how well it works. I think it has potential, but in transfer speeds, my iPod still kicks ass. It can transfer a song per second, but at the moment, my Android phone transfers 1 song every 4 seconds.
If it would make a significant performance boost in this area, I'll definitely try that class 10!
Something like this?

In-built memory is the fastest but these days Class 10 SD cards are very near the W&R speed of in-built memory.
So try buying a quality Class 10 SD card and im sure you will have better experience with it.
