Hey everyone.
Just a quick question. I know the Herald supports class 6 Micro SDHC cards, but what I'm wondering is does it transfer at Class 6 speeds, or only Class 4? My choices of Class 4 cards is vast, but I want to know if I should bother taking the extra effort to invest in a Class 6. No point hunting around for a Class 6 if the Herald doesn't transfer at that speed.
Anyone got any idea?

Looking forward to finally turning my phone into my day-to-day mp3 player, as well as running debian and apps2sd, I've been reading all the latest threads about sd cards and finally decided the most optimal config is a 16gb class 4.
Reasons:
· Class 6 is unnecessary as the nexus wont really take advantage of it.
· Class 2 may be kind of slow for apps2sd and debian, which I'm looking forward to investigate on.
· 16gb because although 32gb is comming, it will probably be too expensive for me.
Benchmarks:
I've looked through eBay and found a few interesting "offers", both at about $40:
SanDisk 16GB Class 2
TOPRAM 16GB Class 4
I really want a Class 4 for all I've been reading lately, but I can't afford a 16GB Class 4 SanDisk.
Does anyone know anything about "TOPRAM"? I had never heard about it before and I'm wondering if it could be a low-quality card.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
No one knows ANYTHING about TOPRAM?
I've seen ppl complaining on the internet about the device not recognizing the sd card, but i guess that happens sometimes..i think..o.o
I have always used A-Data cards, been happy with them.
here are some speed test people have done http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/SDCardSpeedTests
I use and trust PNY class 4 sd cards never failed a year in my rooted g1 and still going with apps2sd and so far with my nexus

With all the talk about SD card speeds I've been seeing lately, I was starting to regret buying the SanDisk 16gb class 2 and not getting a Class 6. But after looking at this chart, I can't imagine why I would need more speeds than that?

I have a 16GB Team Class 6 from ebay
I'm using a Polaroid 16gb class 2. Seems to be working fine for me, even running apps2sd.
I have an 8gb class 6 from RiData. seems fine to me, used on my MT3G, HD2 and now my N1.
i do agree with you though that a 16gb class 4 might just be the best cost/performance
Since we are talking about storage memory, I have a slightly unrelated question. Which is the better, microSD or internal storage that comes with some of the phones out there? In terms of speed, reliability, and cost, which one is better?
With regard to Class 6 - don't write it off if you plan to remove the card from the phone to do movie or music transfers. There are a lot of microSD adapters for computers that can exceed the performance of a Class 6 card and so if you are commonly hooking it up to a computer to transfer media then you'll be glad you went with a Class 6.
Now, if the capacity gets high enough to store all of my music, then I won't care about that issue, but personally I can only store a subset of my music on my microSD card so I do worry about the speed when attaching it to a computer...
i have that TOPRAM sd card on my nexus one i got from amazon Usa and it work very well
Class2 is definitely slower
I've used classes 2, 4 and 6 in an HTC Magic. I used apps2sd with Cyanogen Mod.
My own experience was that Class2 was definitely slower when using apps2sd. But Class4 and Class6 were better...and didn't appear to be much different. I had Class6 sdcards anyway as that is what was recommended for most of a year. They performed well.
The last ones I bought were Class 6 8GB Transcend MicroSDs for NZ$40 each (US$28-ish). That included 12.5% GST.
I'm planning on running android from a micro sd card, prices seem reasonable for class 4 and class 6 cards. Does anyone know what the maximum class that an xv6800 could utilize? I found a 4gb class 10 card for $11 here http://www.directron.com/psf4gmcsdhc10.html?gsear=1 that has been proven to actually be a class 10, but would it run that fast on an xv6800? Thanks.
I am not aware of any speed test being done with the mogul. If you find any, please link them.
I've read the hero only accepts class 2 but from some i've also read their class 6 works well.
Well, I am thinking about picking up a class 10 16gb card tonight, was wondering if the community have any knowledge on if our hero can handle class 10 write/read speeds.
Thanks in advance.
Class 6 is the max speed it will read/write. But a class 10 will work just wont get full class 10 speed.
Correct.

Hello!
I want to buy a 8gb class 10 mSD for my [email protected], but i see some other thread from other forum, they said that the maximum r/w speed on HD2 is only about class 4,
Which means if u insert a class 10 (or class 6) sdhc card, actually, the speed was only class 4's speed...
Is it true???
Thanks
That will be good to know, because I was thinking of buying a new card as well.
The G1 and MT3G can support up to class 6...I'm sure the HD2 can support class 6, not sure about 10 though
You would be fine with C6 cards just make sure you don't buy any BS get it from reputable dealer. Using SD2.0 on HD2 you won't see passed class4-6 as the device is limited but not the card, you can however get class 10 card and use card reader to transfer content but while the mSD is in HD2 you will be throttled near C4-6 range. IMO go for C6 if you plan to use any type of heavy use that would require large access on mSD if not then go with C4 you will be perfectly fine.
People worry too much about card class. I'm using a fairly standard class 4 card and I've never been frustrated even when copying android with a 1gb data image to it
I cannot see any difference speed between class 4 and class 6 8gb SD card. anyway, be sure to buy a known brand name.
Hey,
I am just flashing Windows Phone 7 on my HD2 now... I buyed a "Class 10 16GB Card" from a German Reseller (Media Markt) today. But while Im flashing using DFT I just have a Speed from 61 kbytes/sec... I think its not that fast, is it? Have I buyed a "fake class 10" card or something? what do you think?

Than Ill just go to MM on monday and ask for a refund. I will get one
just started again - was copied over in 1 Minute ca Works great But still some kind of slow
I have both 8GB class 4 and class 10, after 1 week using, Class 4 still best for WP7. With Class 10, I got restart many times
lol this is dragging up some old threads!
righty, quick SD card lesson
WP7 needs quick 4KB RANDOM writes/reads there are various threads showing you want seems to be best
Now, Class 2 and Class 4 have slow sequential speeds, compared to class 6 and 10
The class system is defined by srquential speeds, this is useful info if your using it for a digital camera, the higher the class rating the quicker you can read an write those large files
However windows phone 7 doesnt mess about with large files, it needs to access many smaller files in a random order.
Now, They way in which SOME SD cards get higher sequential speeds (and thus a high class rating) is by working some magic, unfortunately this same magic has a side effct of reducing random access, so the general rule of thumb is this
Class 2-4 will give you a higher CHANCE of working
Class 6-10 will give you less CHANCE of working
I say chance because apart from some PNY class 2 cards there are not any cards out there on the market sold as "high random access speeds"
Its luck, pure an simple, a Sandisk 8GB class 2 might work for one person, but not someone else, the reason for that is almost every card is made differently.
So statistically you will have better luck with a class 2 or 4.....
When moving to Yuki-Xbmod Mango rom I had 4 SD cards
16Gb Transcend Class 4
2Gb Sandisk Class 2
4Gb Kingston Class 4
4Gb "No Name" Card
The "4Gb no-name" card was the only one that worked.
I needed at least 8Gb and I didnt want to buy one and take teh risk so after asking my friends and trying there cards I found a "8Gb no-name card" that worked and had no choice but to swap my 16Gb card for a 8Gb card!!
My experience shows no-name cards work better.
