is there any class4 16gb microsd?

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

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.

Anyone sourced a 16GB microSD class 4 or 6?

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.

http://www.lowpricememory.co.uk/Sandisk-16gb-micro-sd-memory-card.html
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.

Heres a class 6 16 GB....

Currently have a 4GB in my TytynII and that is full of sat nav progs Fancied the 16GB so I could load up with satnav and music.

Thanks for the HU.

I don't know anything about microSD cards, and I am looking for the same thing.
Would this card work?

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!)
But good effort!

16GB Class 6 - UK

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

[Q] 32GB micro SDHC

Been looking around for micro sd cards in anticipation of the release of the Venue Pro, and found this puppy on MyMemory which seems to be the only class 4 card around for 32GB at the moment (Kingston do one but not found it for sale in the UK).
http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Micro-SDHC/MyMemory/MyMemory-32GB-Micro-SD-(SDHC)-Card---Class-4
Anyone any experience of MyMemory, either good or bad? Not sure whether to go for this one, or opt for the Sandisk class 2 card?

I bought a Sandisk class 2 from Amazon and when it arrived it was actually a class 4!

Ah, cool, good to know cheers

I had this happen as well, which seemed really cool at the time. Now I just hope that there is a way to use it with the Venue Pro, otherwise I just got a card that was almost $90 for nothing...
Guess if it comes to that I could sell it with my Nexus One, the dock and a Jawbone icon, hmm...

Micro SDHC Cards Listing - Like a Boss :D

So in response to my previous thread on the DVP and if it would work for me I'd like to thank everyone for their insightful thoughts options and most of all answers.
Now my next question, Micro SDHC card choices. And again, answers are the preferred responses but thoughts and options would be fantastic.
I am going to add to and edit together a list of Micro SDHC Cards on here for people to reference for the future.
Firstly, I already own this card but have yet to try it with a DVP. Anyone here with experience or can at least validate the technical specifications as having a chance at working, let me know.
Transcend 32GB Class 4 Micro SDHC Card via Amazon
Thanks again.

1. Sandisk 32GB Class 2 Micro SDHC Card via Amazon ** Note this card has been listed on other forms as working despite its Class 2 Status with speeds closer to that of a class 4 card**
2. Lexar 32GB Class 10 Micro SDHC Card via Amazon **Verified working by InvisibleKnight**
3. Amazon Basics 16GB Class 10 Micro SDHC Card via Amazon **Note this is a class 10 card, but according to the first reviewers benchmarks it does 20mb/s copy speed which is twice as good as class 10 speeds. Should work well with a windows phone, theoretically speaking**
4. Sandisk 32GB Class 4 Micro SDHC Card via Amazon (originally manufactured as Class 2 but later reclassed as class 4) **Used by a ZDnet write to upgrade his personal DVP. Has never reported any issues i know of UPDATE - Purchased this card for myself, works like a charm, no probs so far (knock on wood)**

I bought a 32Gb Lexar Class 10 Micro SDHC, and not only it works, my dvp seems to run quite faster than before.
You can find about the card itself here
AMAZON LINK (EU)
Can anyone try this one? It would be great to have 64GB of storage...

How's your class 10 card holding up?

Micro SDXC has a completely different specification From Micro SDHC. Remember when Micro SDHC came out, older devices that were made to use jus Micro SD wouldnt read them, same issues with the DVP and those SDXC cards.

Are you sure? Not a chance? That pretty much kills my expectations...
Oh well, we'll wait for the next phone with physical portrait keyboard and SDXC compatibility

Wish we can get a little more feedback on this.
Does anyone know if we can go back to the old card if the new one doesn't work out? Is it just a matter of popping the old one back in the sd slot?

I know what u mean. Msoft said tha tthe Windows Phones would be the next generation Zune Players, but coming from a Zune80, a phone shipping with 8 - 16 gbs of storage is pathetic. I have 60 gbs of music, what am i supposed to do with a 8 gb DVP?
Thank goodness the DVP is somewhat easy to upgrade to 32gigs. At the very least msoft should give u the ability to stick two Micro sdhc cards in a phone, mux it together and create a 64gb pool of storage.

tried lexar 16GB class 10?
I got a SanDisk 16 class 4, its been doing fine then it got stuck at whatsapp then the phone goes into a loop of restart and cut off.
The only way to fix it was to recover the phone.
so I need a new card for my phone, I see that the lexar 32Gb class 10 is good for this phone but don't want to go up to 32GB, has anyone tried the 16GB version? Would it come out with the same results ?

Heard there were two patches, one is a renaming of a class 2 to class 4 and another is the newer where its different class 4.
I guess I got the bad batch.....

I recently got a DVP. It shipped with a 16GB Sandisk class 4, which worked fine for a few days until my 32GB Sandisk class 4 arrived, which also has no problems at all.
Watch out for fake Sandisk cards, apparently they are out there.

Yeah it should work just fine that 16gb class 10. A little fyi, i bought that 32 gb sandisk (no 4) Working fine so far.
Once the speed is class 4 and over and there are no bad memory areas on the card u'll be fine no matter the size.

Need SD card suggestion

What is the largest, fastest and most budget-minded SD card I can get for this device, preferably off of NewEgg...

I can't remember if the largest "recommended" size is 16gig or 32, but get a class 10. Also, don't go to New Egg, go to Meritline.com, much cheaper on the micro SD cards, and problably even cheaper elsewhere.

So always get class 10 for mobile devices? I'm not looking for a recommended size, I want the maximum size.

Also, NewEgg has class 10's for way cheaper than the site you mentioned.

I could be wrong, but I just thought the class indicated the speed of data transfer, so I've always gone for class 10. And yeah, I never noticed the price gap being so marginal on class 10 cards between New Egg and Merit Line. I've always used Merit Line for any media related purchases. Monoprice for anything cable related (I will slap anyone in the throat I meet face to face who spends $60 on a 6 foot "Monster" HDMI cable at Best Buy), and then NewEgg for everything else.

Gotcha. What brands should I stay away from? What ones should I strongly consider?
Will a 32GB card work on this device?

I used a 16gb, but I cannot remember what the manual said would be supported. However, I thin microSD only goes to 32, I'd wait for someone else to chime in to see if they use a 32gb without issue. I've never paid attention to brand, and it's worked out for me.

Is PNY any good? Kingston and SanDisk are great in my experience.

I know PNY makes good RAM, but have never used their sd cards.

I use the "ADATA 32GB Micro SDHC Flash Card, with Adapter Model AUSDH32GCL10-RA1". It's a Class 10 device and I've had no problems with it and the A500. It currently is $63.99 at Newegg and $72.95 at Meritline (sorry fermunkey!).

How long have you used this card?

I'm using a Duracell 16GB Class 6 and it works wonders. Only cost me $25 from a brick and mortar store too, which isn't too bad. You won't notice a significant difference between class 6 and class 10 on any Android device, so personally I wouldn't bother with the added cost of a class 10 card.

I've been using it since the end of July. I've got multiple backups on it as well as movies, music, etc.

I am using:
WINTEC FileMate 16GB Mobile Professional Class 10 microSDHC Card with SDHC Adapter
available at Newegg only 19.99...get a couple!!

@jlary - +1 on the AData 32gb micro sd card. Bought my A500 in May and same day ordered sd card from the Egg. Has worked flawlessly ever since including all my attempts to brick my A500 lol. Got all my movies and music and pictures on it plus backups and roms.

I'm using a 32 GB in mine. I'm not sure of the brand, but it is Class 10 and it works well. (I keep my movie files on it and play them from there.)

I also have a adata micro SD card I got from newegg stressed to full and it did not fail been working for three to four months

+1 for ADATA. I use a 16GB class 10 and I am pretty pleased with the performance.
