wow our phones are slowly morphing into pocket hard drives
wrong forum - its already discussed in the accessories section???
wrong forum - its already discussed in the accessories section???
but.... its a good find.... I pre-ordered mine a few days ago.....
.
lmao!
I read somewhere that the physical limit of normal SDs would be 1 Terrabyte.
That woul dbe impressive!
For correctness Ive moved this to the accessories section, the redirect link is valid for a month though as this is a good topic.
i'll wait for a 32GB one
its been said that there are comming 64GB microsd in november.
what is the max the phone can have ?
I think microSDHC protocol supports up to 32GB.
From what I see on the sandisk site, this is a slow card, although big capacity.
I bought the sandisk 8gb micro sd from Amazon, which is ultra mobile (10mb read, 9mb write)
So if speed is gonna be a problem, this is a good find.
Wow..... A pity they aren't furthering the sizes of miniSD but at least you can use a microSD in a miniSD device with the adapter.

What is the model? Mine is this: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-micro...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1220959607&sr=8-1
It's class 4, so in theory it has 4 MB/s write, but in practice it's a little more, around 5.5 MB/s.

sounds like a nice surprise then
Mine has the words "ultra mobile" printed on the card.
Well, just ordered mine from bmcdigital, who say they have it in stock - Class 4 too according to their website. Will update everyone later this week (providing the postal service performs normally) regarding its Raphael (and N82) compatibility.
Let you all know if it works in an Xperia in a couple of weeks ;]
i just ordered one on amazon.co.uk of al places.
Just received confirmation that mine has shipped today, should get it Friday, or perhaps Monday if I'm unlucky with the post.
let us know if it is class 2 (JUST CLASS 2!!!) - because I think it is
Will do, its advertised as Class 4, but there are a lot of conflicting stories out there at the moment. Will reveal all in a couple of days - had confirmation that its been shipped.

Mine arrived this morning. Copying data over at the moment so can't see what it says on the card but the packaging says Class 2 :-(
Well I got mine today from mobymemory and all mine says is Micro SDHC on it then 16GB. Working a charm. Filled 12GB so far with no problems. Part number SDSDQ-016G-E11M and is Class 2. It has a little circle with a 2 inside it on it.

Mine has number 4 inside the circle and cost £46.99.

I beleive those were SANDISK, not Samsung. And again, I don't think they are avail yet. Should be before Xmas.
Re: C4 or C6, does the Kaiser even take advantage of the C6 speed? i.e. I know it can read it, but can it read/write that fast to it to see the differencebetween C4 and C6? I've asked this and no one has answered it.

im glad i'm not the only one holding out to this 8gb stick.
Speed and Elite
Looking at the cards at elite show that they are all Class 2.
Do a search on ebay, there are 6gb class 4 cards for about $70 (the same as elite class 2). But they are the first 8gb cards I have seen.
Thanks,

the top memory card is always overpriced, considering the nuisance of carrying one of those tiny things and exchanging it out, especially if your running programs off it, its worth it.
- Called elite electronix, they expect stock of the 8gb cards during the last week of october.

I contacted memorybits.co.uk in the UK and they said hopefully by 2nd November it will be in stock. Not a bad price at £55.
And still no answer to this question:
Re: C4 or C6, does the Kaiser even take advantage of the C6 speed? i.e. I know it can read it, but can it read/write that fast to it to see the difference between C2, C4, and C6? I've asked this and no one has answered it.
I mean, why wait or pay extra for a C6 if the TyTN II reader can't even sustain that speed?
IMHO, it doesn't really matter. If you want to xfer a large amount of data onto or off the card, the extra bandwidth will be useful.
Plus, I *always* try and buy the best quality part I can. For example, I own SD card camcorders too, and it is always best to put as fast a card as possible in those.

Jomo, I agree that performance and quality do count.
However, with Sandisk surely they only produce one 6GB micro SD card?? If this is the case, why don't you e-mail them about it and ask for the detailed spec?
I've tried contacting them but they've not replied yet.
Not to sure about the speed, bit I received mines today, and I love it. I see no speed difference in reading and writing on the tilt. Mines is the scandisk.
Anybody seen 8GB Sandisk's in the wild? I.E. at Best Buy or Verizon or anywhere? What class are they?
I *just* got my 6GB class4 from Amazon today... but I'd pay the extra for 8 if I didn't have to wait...

I have the Sandisk 6GB card. it's Class 4. My question is, if they come out with a Class 8 one later, can the TyTN II take advantage of the speed? I.e. What's the Kaiser's max speed? I'm sure the festest cards would still be readable, but not sure if it would perform faster than a Class 4 if the Kaiser is the "bottleneck".
As for 8GB, I don't think they are generally avail yet, esp not in the US. I wouldn't expec tot see those available via US mail order til about mid Nov at least, and in stores like BB and CC? Not til next year I bet. They don't even have 6GB cards yet in places like Best Buy, Circuit City, and Fry's Elex...
I'm currently using a class-4 6gb microsd from sandisk, serial number checked at site and its genuine
All 16gb microsd I can find in ebay is class-2, will I feel the difference or its not a big deal?
I've been doing some searching also and all I can find is class 2 on a 16 gb card. Suchas:
http://www.supermediastore.com/sandisk-class-2-16gb-micro-sd-sdhc-transflash-memory-card-only.html
Actually on their Website Scandisk only shows this one 16 gb card at all:
http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(2702)-SDSDQ-016G-A11M-SanDisk_microSDHC_16GB_Card.aspx
I've been having this exact same experience. Has the classification scheme changed or something? Why would Sandisk stop selling their fastest cards?
Adata has one- i actually have it. Its a "Turbo" class 6 16 gig micro.
here is an Amazon link.
http://www.amazon.com/DATA-microSDHC-Memory-Adapter-AUSDH16GCL6-RA1/dp/B001VLIVEE
I got mine for around $50, but you have to watch for the sales.
Hope this helps
SS
Thanks for your helpful response! This is exactly what I need.
I still don't understand why Sandisk no longer sells Class 4 and 6 micro SD cards, but I guess it's their loss: I'll be buying this A-Data one.
Thanks again!

RE 16gb class 4 cards
Hiya,
Thats very unusual, i am sure Sandisk does a class 4 card.
I've only just recently got my hands on a SanDisk Mobile Ultra(TM) 16GB card, its got a number 4 symbol embossed onto the outer packaging of the chip! Defo not a 2, unless i've been had! lol
Comes with an excellent guarantee.
I hope this is of use. :-D
Easy enough to find on amazon.
Question for some techy------>
For class 6 to work does the host device need to support it to achieve the improved transfer/read/write data rates? Would love a Class 6 SDHC.

At the moment I'm using a Kingston 8GB MicroSDHC Class 4 and let me tell you; IT SUCKS.
The speed it horrible comparing to my Sandisk 2GB Class 2.
Therefore I would like to get a Sandisk instead. They are pretty cheap these days online. Amazon is selling a Sandisk 8GB class4 for only $16 + shipping. However I'm from Canada, shipping is a monster. On Ebay, most of them are fake and not even Class 4. So do you guys have any suggestion for me on where to buy a "Real" Sandisk 8GB class 4? (well, no need to be Real, as long as it's fast)
I'm not sure about the sandisk class 4 I would try perhaps Amazon.com on that. But as for Micro SDHC cards go this is by far the best card for the price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208453 Just in case you are wondering it is a class 6 and I have this card personally and can verify that it operates at the class 6 specs.

Amazon.com and newegg.com doesn't ship microsd card to Canada.
As stupid as it sounds, newegg.ca doesn't have any 8GB microSD other than from A-Data... and I had really bad experience with that company.
That's strange that they won't ship them to Canada, but anyways I have used A-DATA for many years now and I have never had a bad experience possibly you just happend to get a bad product which unfortunately happens sometimes. I suggest A-DATA to lots of people and trust them myself so it might not hurt to try them again. Just my thoughts (man I feel like an A-DATA spokesperson LOL)
Edit: Just checked newegg.ca and found http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208453 which is the exact card I recommended.

My Kingston 8Gb Class 4 take about 4min to transfer 1GB as well. I find it slow. When I did a benchmark using PocketMechanics, the write speed is only 2MBs. That's why i'm returning it. Now that you're telling me it take you 3.5-4mins, I think my card is not that bad, then.
When you said 6MBs write, how did you test it?

Ford & Chevrolet beat out Lamborghini & Ferrari in sales....but guess what's better?
Rank in sales means nothing if you're looking for quality. 90% or more of the time the top name in sales is NOT the best quality, just the best value. Sandisk is definitely better quality.
Looking for a 16GB microSD for the Hero.
Anyone sourced a class 4 or 6? or indeed, have you used a class 2 and happy with it?
many thanks all
I have a class 2 16gb in my G1.
Apps2SD and Swap runs fine (Using JacHeroSki Hero rom).
I don't see what the class thing is all about, applications run as speedy as if they were installed on the device itself.

Only used the 2GB card Orange bundle with the phone, and am experiencing a bit of sluggish perfromance on the home screen occasionally - someones said that this is solved by a faster card but will have to wait and see - got one on order.
That link you have posted says 'Class 2' in the write up but the picture is 'Class 4'.
I looked at that earlier and that discrepancy put me off ordering it.

Yes it would. WE HAVE A WINNER, 1 class 6 16gb.
These are still quite expensive though, I'd be tempted just to stick with an 8gb class 6 (which I got for £11 GBP) and when I run out of space, then move up to the 16gb
They will not ship to the UK (unless it's a copy of WoW you are after!)

yeah 16 GB too expensive for now for me, got an class 6 8GB card at £14 on order, as soon as the 16 GB cards are cheap enough I'll grab one, I can wait.
After much googling, I decided to get a class 2 from here:
http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/ph...ANDISK-MICROSD-16GB-CARD#handsetDetailsHeader
It seemed the transfer rate was not that key on our devices, as class 6 was well above what the phone could manage.
It could all be nonsense and I end up getting another in a few weeks

There's tons of info all over the net.
It's fragmented info all over the net and if it does appear slow when I get it, I will report back
HTC HD2 - what size of MicroSd it can supports?
It supports the SDHC standard, so up to 32GB. Anything above that will require the upcoming SDXC standard.

Exactly 32GB MicroSD
Hi, I just wanted to ask a question regarding microSDHC cards:
Does the class of the card make that much of a difference (in terms of smoothness of video playback) ?
I'm not too bothered about write spead.
The reason I ask, is because I can't really find anywhere (I don't use ebay) in the uk (online) that's selling reputable 16gb class 6 microSDHC cards (that are in stock). Will class 2 really be a step down ?

Class does matter in speeds. So I would say yes, but you won't notice it.
I got a 16GB Micro SD-C class 6 and a 4 gb class 3/4 and video playback on my Touch HD is the same....

Any real difference between Kingston and Sandisk at class 2 ?

No, absolutely no difference at all.
The only time the class will make a significant difference is if you take the card out of the phone and connect it to your PC's USB port using an adaptor. A high-speed card connected like that can be written to a lot faster than it can while it's in the phone. But otherwise you're limited to the speed the phone can access the card at - which is a lot slower.
It's also worth saying that a class 2 card made by one of the better manufacturers (Sandisk, for example) may well be faster than a generic class 4 or even class 6 card - class 2 means it's guaranteed that you can write to it at 2MB/s or faster, but the ratings of cards from good manufacturers tend to be very conservative.
As for video, the bit-rate of a video file is not that high. My Touch Pro 2 maxes out at about 750 kilobits per second on an .mp4. The read-speed of even the worst class 2 card will be at least 2 megabytes per second - which is more than 20 times as fast. The Leo will probably be able to cope with higher bit-rates than the TP2, but certainly not 20 times as high.
That's just what I was hoping to hear
Thanks!
Anybody now when 32gb cards will be available
Just in case anyone else is searching for a 16gb card, I've managed to find a class 2 for £36.99 from memorycardzoo. On the other hand, Dabs are currently waiting for stock of some 16gb class 6 cards, which they'll be selling for arounf £50. Unfortunately, it looks like they won't be getting these in stock for at least 3 weeks

Amazon is currently selling a 16GB MicroSD Class 6 for 24 Euros, if you like.

I don't believe there is any Micro SD available in 32gb yet. If they are available then my Google skills suck.
I settled for a Kingston 16GB class 2 for now.

Don't HTC have an online store in UK? Here they have Transcend 16GB Class 6 cards in stock, although they usually charge more than anyone else for what they sell.
I personally prefer to have the fastest cards available simply because it pays off when you transfrer large amounts of data (music, video) via a card reader. Also, my older cards go to my digital camera where it is important.

Maybe they are, but not at that link. That's a full-size SD card.

That seems to be their online store, and they only seem to go up to 2gb cards.
I've had good luck with these guys:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0019O351C/ref=ox_ya_oh_product
Note that these are expensive class 6 devices - good for high speed transfers when plugged straight into a card reader, but makes no difference at all when actually in the phone.

I had a look at them a couple of days ago, but some of the comments left as negative feedback put me off them (in terms of customer support and refunds).

My mistake. Here is the correct link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Transcend-1...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1256744907&sr=1-1
And the correct price is also 50 Euros.

It's not 50€, it's £50...
Anyway, I have ordered (and received) my Sandisk MicroSDHC 16Gb from Amazon Germany for 40€ (postage included).
