Is it possible that my honor is smoother when I pull the SD card out? I own a 32gb SD card and I think that phone works better without it. It's class 10 uhs1 and it's only 10gb full

It shouldn't affect real life performance. I use uhs1 class 10 too and i don't see any difference in smoothness

So i'm looking for a new Class 6 8gb SD card to replace my sandisk class 2 8gb sd.
In your opinion, what brand is best to go to, Transcend or Sandisk?
or any other brand, I would like to see options. What brand runs best with apps2sd and linux-swap? I'm currently using enomther's AOSP extpansion pack rom, but i'm thinking about moving to a HTC Hero rom, thus why I need a class 6 sdcard.
Does it really increase the overall speed of a rom?
So, in your honest opinion, which brand should I go to? Links will be appreciated, and I like amazon =D
Sandisk or A-data sd cards are the best.
Class 6 is hellofalot faster then class 2, i only have a class for now since i lost my 8gb.But you should get either one of those maybe transend if its cheaper.
I like my Transcend 8gb Class 6....just wish I could find a 8GB Class 8 or 16GB Class 10.
This is my SD card and it runs lightning fast.

Don't worry phones typically downclock the reader slot to keep battery consumption at a minimum. If you ask anyone to compare a 8gig class 6 vs a 16gig class 6 they will tell you the 8 gig is much faster then the 16. It's because the bigger card needs more voltage to get to the same speed as the 8 gig card due to it's more condensed package. Also this is to allow for less heat issues cause of course more voltage to the card slot means more heat.

so does that mean (in theory) that a 32gb would be super dooper slow? For linux-swap and such?
I'e never had any problems with transcend. I got my 8GB class 6 from Amazon for £14

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.

I think you should use SD 8GB :laugh:
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.

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..
Mini Review:
All these cards come at the speeds they're advertised at. HOWEVER, and this is very important!: It should be noted that the R/W speeds will differ greatly depending on if you're running exFAT or NTFS.
Benchmarks:
See below for the speeds, though you should keep in mind that your average tablet or phone will most likely throttle the speeds since the voltage output is way lower than on a desk/laptop.
Benchmarks for 128GB 45MB/s, 128GB 80MB/s, 200GB 90MB/s using exFAT:
Benchmarks for 128GB 45MB/s, 128GB 80MB/s, 200GB 90MB/s using NTFS:
I use my trusty Silicon Power USB 3.0 AIO card reader for these tests in case anyone is curious. See attached pictures below for reference when buying say off shady sites or retailers as fakes are easy to come by.
Thanks for the info!
Do you think there is any advantage in getting a microSD card with faster Read/Write speed. such as the Samsung Evo+ or Pro? or is the Read speed limited by the Shield K1's microSD slot?
If you are using marshmallow (6.0) the faster write speeds can be advantageous when using the SD card as internal storage. Apps on the SD card will use the SD card for writing temp files.

Depends on what you're after really. If you only plan on filling it up with Plex/media content, then speed shouldn't be an issue for most once it's there. But if you plan on writing 100GB worth of content back and forth daily, then I would recommend a faster sdcard.
If you plan on using it as internal storage in conjunction with the internal one (feature introduced with 6.0) then I would also recommend a faster card so it matches the eMMC onboard storage speed since it's faster than this sdcard I currently have, not to mention if you plan on gaming (Android and or Shield only games) a lot on this device. For emulathors and stuff this card is enough.
Has anybody some experience with one of those?
-SanDisk Extreme Pro microSDXC (up to 95MB/Sec, Class 10, U3)
-Kingston SDCA3/64GB microSDHC/SDXC (UHS-I U3, 90R/80W)
According to this fairly recent comparison and benchmarks, they are one of the best:
http://www.techfunology.com/electro...for-photography-action-cams-and-videocameras/
I will hopefully update the thread with the 128GB 80MB/s version as of tomorrow as I managed to snag one for a little over 50€ (Remember, EU here! We have no luxury with 200GB microSD cards being sold for the same price or having 1 gallon of whatever costing the same as 1L of equivalent substance).
edit: no package until monday... sadface.jpg.
poo any decent 64gb cards? was looking at the Samsung evo or SanDisk Ultra 64 GB up to 80 Mbps
@ady702: actually yes.
I made a short benchmark of my 64GB Kingston card (that I mentioned above already):

so the Kingston would be better than the other two? or is it down to the formatting?
It just means, the Kingston is good.
Though, the thread particularly only tells you that you should format sd cards as NTFS.
