I am considering to buy a 16gb class 6 microSDHC card, would that be an overkill? (not the size of course, Im going to put a lot music etc, but would class 2 or 4 speed be enough for it?
Thanks in advance,

I am debating at the moment weather to get a 8GB Class 6 Micro SD or the 16gb Class 2 card?
Will the faster card be a better choice if I am storing movies on it? I know there is the SDHC hack on here to help with the transfer speed or whatever so would that be enough to help in movie playback with the 16gb card?
Help well confused lol.

me too what did you end up doing?
at least 8 bg but im mainly looking for speed. anyone know of the fastest micro sd brand out there. if found that judging by class alone doesn't mean much. im looking for read/write speeds.
I just purchased this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_-
16GB class 10...i will report back once i receive it tomorrow.
What you'll find is that the higher end cards are faster than the phone interface so the only benefit is when you're loading files on a PC. I'm running a 16 GB Sandisk Class 2 card and it works great.

Then how fast would be the evo's interface to the sd card? Would it be capable of utilizing a class 10 micro SHDC?
I have a transcend 8gb class 6. I got it for 14 bucks on amazon and I do get the 6m/s transfer speed. Im waiting for a 32gb that is reasonably priced.
For those of you who have upgraded your SD cards: what class of SD card do you have? Is it worth the extra money to get anything other than a Class 2 card?
I stuck with the class 2. I read the more expensive class is more suitable for capturing hd video. I don't do alot of that, I got my 16gb class 2 to store movies.
Samsung Vibrant using Bionix 1.9.1 w/JACs UV/0C v1.1
I have a 16gb card labeled as a class 4 (and priced as such), but it performs like a class 6.
I got it because I was expecting to use Apps2SD at some point in the future and it makes a HUGE difference there.
The stock card is a class 4. I had an 8 GB class 6 from my G1 days that I opted to use instead. Class speed matters, but you need to debate how much read/write are you doing with your SD card. Thankfully the Vibrant has a lot of internal memory too.
The higher the class the more rapid the data transfer. But a reputable, like Sandisk class 4 will outperform a "Joe's SD Co." Class 6 in my experience. I was running a2sd on my G1 with the stock class 2 and I had time to make a sandwich while waiting for apps to open, better result with a class6. Also when transferring large amounts of data between PC and device it will significantly cut down the time.

Class 6 16 gig
have a class 6 16 gig I use alot for data storage fro my work. I have found the Kingston class 10 is slower than this one, read/write speed DO matter if you use it alot, and I do. Silicon power is releasing a class 10 16 gig when I get one Ill report back it benches and see if it meets the stated benches it is claiming
got a Sandisk 8gb class 4......but finally broke.
So, put an old 2gb unknown make in it....less than class 2.
Result = i cant notice the difference in speed at all.
BUT, i do fancy trying a super fast card, but don't need anything big, so found this:
Panasonic Panasonic 4GB Class 10 SDHC Memory Card.
SDHC memory card
* 4GB capacity.
* Read speed 22MB per sec.
* Write speed 22MB per sec.
£19.99,
I know they are cheaper online, and i know someone is going to start saying stuff like """"all amkes are **** except sandisk etc etc"
BUT, what are the advantages of a class 10 card over say, a class 2w or 4 card, esprecially with regards to desire HD builds, and android in general?
any help, info and responses will be very much appreciated,
thanks
Matt
How did your 8GB break?
Hi,
I have class 4 SD card m running Pda's win7.8 rom. the problem I m facing is its lagging and slow then I did a benchmark test using free benchmark app everything is perfect except the write speed which is just 2.1 something, I know it may be a problem of SD card though wanted to know is there any tweak to speed it up through registry or app like andoirds have?
thankyou
no... buy better card...
