im going to buy myself a new SD specificly i want to make sure it runs OK with android.
Its going to be either
Kingston MC MicroSD 16GB (class 10 i think)
or
Kingston MC MicroSD 8GB (class 6 i think)
What is the difference between classes and is anyone using this cards. How is android running on it. Which one to buy. Im willing to buy 16GB class 10 but 8GB is half the price i dont need 16GB but its class 10. IM not sure how theese classes work.
I have the class 10 8 gigs and it runs great.
Class is only good for write speed. high class doesn't always go well with Android. My class 2 run android better than my class 4 and 6 but brand results may varies...
My 8Gb Class6 runs great, no Problems running Android on it
I'm using a 32Gb Topram sd card class 4 and it works fine, but so did my 16gb class 2 sandisk.
Just depends what you need the space for. If you load it up with media files, like me, you need space, if you're just running it with normal usage then an 8 gb should be fine.
Unfortunately, just like roms and builds, everyone's needs are different.
Thanks for replys.
I already have 4GB sandisk class 2 and Android works well.
But i need more space. And i want 8GB or more so i can format it to fat32 64 bit cluster size.
With 4GB i can only use 32 cluster size for FAT32. So i want to choose a good card. Becouse i dont want to spent money for card which will run Android badly.

Hi Guys, I'm currently testing the MattC 1.5 build from a generic 4gb microSD card i had lying around and it works pretty well, but i was thinking of buying an 8gb Sandisk Mobile Ultra card to replace it. I would link to the car but i'm not allowed A quick search on google/ebay should bring up the card i want.
Do you think I would notice an improvement in speed with android running from the card?

If your current card is a class 2 and the 8 gb is a class 4 or higher than yes, tou would notice a difference.

I use Sandisk 16gb sdhc and no problems with running android-of course only proper wm rom.... Not sure which class is the card
my current card is a Class 2 4gb Sandisk, for £17 i might just get the new card and see how it goes. Would you expect an increase in the score on the Quadrant benchmarks?
Sandisk mobile ultra sdhc 4 gb class 6
are these cards definitely class 6 as i have seen various sites saying they are only class 2 but much faster than the class 2 minimums?

Hi,
Well, I use since last week a SanDisk 32 microSDhc class 2. Pretty fast in data transfer.
Read somewhere that the class 2 of this 32 GB edition can be compared to class 6 of older micro SD cards.
Had the standard 2gb microSD before, which was sold with the HD2.
Have no issues of speed with SanDisk 32 microSDhc class 2, when it comes to running Android and transfer data.
Recommend it!

Download SD Card Speed Tester from Market
and test your real speed. Run it three times on each card.
I have Class 2's that are 2's. I have the original 16 gb Class 2 that rates at six and a class 4 Sandisk that rates at a 9. You never know till you test it. Also have a Class 6 that rates at a 9.
8 gig kingstone class 4.
i got a 4 gig class 6 micro sdhc, but i can't notice a difference in speed big enough to compensate the loss of 4 gigs (lots of songs stored).

Might sound like a strange question, but what would you suggest getting for most stable Android run. I've had a SAN DISK 16GB but it would always get corrupt and formatting (tried using SD Formatter/windows tools/phone) would only fix the problem for short time.
So which of the following in your opinion is the most reliable choice:
1. SAN DISK
2. PATRIOT
3. Kingston
4. ADATA
5. Transcend
6. Lexar
7. SONY
Also, what class (2,4,6 would be nice if someone could explain whats best and generally what it means). As well as capacity (whether it affects reliability)
No one buy the kingston class 4 4gb card, does not work well at all! I trashed it lol
i got a Class 10 Patriot card, works well, really well

Any way to check faulty micro sd?
Thanks everyone for the input, seems like I've either got a faulty SanDisk card or doing something wrong here. Are there any tools to test whether or not my 16Gb SanDisk micro sd is faulty or possibly corrupt... By the way, I got it off ebay for $20... seems fishy, although it came in original packagin brand new.

German TakeMS 4GB Class6, works like a charm...
Transcend 16gb class 6 runs Android with no hiccups at all and the transfer rate is blazing fast
Samsung 4Go Class 4, low battery drainage, performs like a class 6 card. Original style (grey coloured).
Battery consumption
Battery consumption on Transcend sucks if you want long battery life use sandisk or best by my tests 8gb class 4 Kingston.
i have 4 different sd cards kingston 4 gig class 2, 2 sandisk 4 gig , and a class 6 transcend 8 gig...and i always get better results with the stock card

Sd card don't have jack sh*$ to do with battery drain. As far as cards go, it don't matter. Just pick one. There all the same regardless if someone says this one is faster because it's a class 6, or 8. I have a class 2,4, and 8. No difference what so ever. Even though its written on the class 8 at a higher speed.
Any idea on why sometimes I find non-removable random symbol files on my SD? Does this indicate corruption?

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

I don't know. But one of my friend using class 4 transcend sd card and he can play 720p videos. While i can't using Sandisc class 4.
Thanks bdw. I purchased it and it's working fine. Write speed is 9mbps and reading at 11-13mbps
Will try diff cache value.
Class 6 gives good performance. Having no problems since 3 months.
I use 32GB class 10 Lexar.
No problem at all.
I've been using a class 10 16GB TOPRAM card for almost a year, with no problems.
I use a Kingston Class10 16GB since a week ago and it's working fine so far. 9.1MB/s write and 19MB/s read on 2.3.6
Thanks for starting this thread
Im going to order a class 6, 8 gig samsung card for my defy from letsbuy.com
@darshan - bro, what is you say ? how are you finding your class 6 card in defy? how about 720p playback and HD gaming?? Is there any issue with day to day usage, like with camera app and something? Does it hang? or does it goes in to READ ONLY by any chance??
Btw, Im running on stock 2.2.2 without root.
Thanking you in advance
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

Slower card makes
you wait longer,
gets your cpu hotter,
your battery drain faster,
lags the phone,
slow responses of your phone,
Go buy yourself a class10 SD card!
Believe me, if i knew the diffrence, i would buy it 3 years ago...
Thank-you dxdy and stealth21
will buy new SD and report back
