Because of low speed of internal sd card that make streak run slowly. I want to change internal 2GB to 8GB MicroSd Class 10. With higher reading speed may lead Streak run smoother. But i dont know how to copy internal SD to new SD card in windows... Can anybody tell me how to do it ?

You need to take a look at this thread over on Modaco.
Thanks you. I will try it

Im all about performance. I partitioned my class 4 sd card and intalled DC v2.07. Had about 124mb's free memory but the phone was choppy. I wiped (not ext) and flashed DC v2.08 and now my phone is flying again but only have 27mbs free. I guess it stored the apps back to /System/app. So now my questions??
Will the phone perform as good as no a2sd if I get a class 6 sd card and use a2sd??
I guess with most people we just want to store apps in our sd card without loosing any performance.
Storing apps on your SDcard is fine, but you are asking the phone to do one more step in the grand scheme of things. Just another gate for data to pass through, so even with a class 6 SD card there is more than likely an ammount of slow down you could measure.
Personally I have an 8 Gb Trascend Class 6 and have apps2sd running, its just fine for me. No choppyness at all.
Most of the issue you are experiencing is having dalvik-cache on your sd card.
It should be fine with a class 6. A class 4 depends on the card. Would not recommend dalvik-cache on a class 2.
And, your software is stored in /data/app and data/app-private. /system/app is for core programs and is not moved in a2sd.

I installed my new transcend class 6 microsd card. Partitioned and used ext3. Moved apps and dalvik to sd and it runs fine. Im happy now. I have 110 free mbs.
I have an 8GB class 2 sandisk and I have had no problem nor any slowdown having apps2sd installed and having the dalvik cache installed as well. I keep looking around for a faster card, would like a 16GB, but when it comes down to it, with not having problems there is no real need to upgrade. Even though I really want one, if for nothing but bragging rights.

Don't forget that the Class of the card is rated based on the write speed. The read speed is what affects us the most when loading apps and a combination of the two when using the cache.
The read speed can be higher or lower based on the make of the card. Some name-brand Class 4 cards can read faster than the cheap Class 6 cards.
i was wondering what class is the streak's internal memory card? class 2 i'm guessing...
wouldn't it make the phone smoother if we changed it with a faster one? 2GB cards are pretty cheap
Not Android Development

I am interested in upgrading internal mem also, larger, and higher class. I was told there's a way to do it on modaco, but couldn't find the thread.

Also very interested, if dissasembly isnt too difficult and will make a noticeable difference.
the disassembly doesn't look hard, that's why i was wondering if it would make much of a diference

It's class2 indeed.
Replacing with faster should give better user experience.
byte-to-byte copy of the original card is proved to work.
i was looking at it too. it seems there is some danger to it . when you replace the sdcard you cannot swap it for a bigger one and use it as a whole drive. the android systemstuff which is on the sdcard needs to be 2GB in size. i donno if something changed in 2.2 but i guess it still needs to be 2GB. you can however split the sdcard and mount the rest of it after boot-time. would be nice if it could mount right at boot. this requires root also.
I don't mean to cause any alarm, but does anyone know if the internal 16 GB SD card in the Nexus S is the same as the one in the failure-prone Bell SGS?
Hoping it's not...

...the memory failure from the SGS on bell was caused by leaked software that wasnt ready
Is the memory on this a soldered SD card or proper flash which would give better read/write speeds? e.g. the WP7 devices with flash memory load apps and games faster.

iFixit had a teardown and it is flash memory soldered on the PCB
Hello All I have a very simple question but plays a very important role in performance.
I got a 2GB SD CARD FROM SAMSUNG.
I have another LOCAL SD CARD 4GB
My question is will the SPEED Remain same to transfer or access data from both these SD CARDS.
I mean to say is will the LOCAL SD CARD BE SLOWER(since its not samsung branded) IN ACCESSING AND RETRIEVING DATA which will eventually slow down my phone or something like that.
I hope you all understood my question..will elaborate if u want me to.
hoping for a good answer.
Thanks
so many views yet no replies
cumon guys a small opinion would make a big difference
I am not very knowledgeable about this, but the class of the SD card matters when comparing performance. Here is a link that might help:

i have noticed that when i changed sd card from samsung original (came with phone) to new transcend 8gb sd card, phone is now booting for 5 minutes....
It being a samsung card doesn't make the card more "compatible" with a samsung phone. A card is defined by the card, not by the brand.

yeah so it means that performance has degraded right.
Also i think booting is not much worry as its done from ROM
so apart from booting what else is buggy or degrading performance,comparing both 2 GB and 8 GB
its on a card to card basis, if it is slower for him it doesnt mean it will be slower for you.
You should use a Class 6 SD card. Slower cards are not adequate.

You can use a class 6 SD card, however, i do not think the phone is capable of handling such high speed cards, and thus the read/write speed of the phone will limit the speed.
Conclusively i don't think there will be an increase in performance!
With class 10 mSD cards, is it technically possible to have RAM on SD?
Got it on win XP. That would help overcome the problem with JB running low on RAM.:victory:
I think you mean swap?
I'm sorry, I'm not into swap and such so I can't give you additional information, but hey, that is a head start .

Well u can use the app called swapper2.it will create a swap file on sdcard and give u more FREE ram

thanks guys, will give swapper a try.
Guys, you all got it wrong.
RAM is very fast RANDOM access memory. It means it got low latency and high bandwith, no SD card is close to that performance.
Also SD card class 6+ is all about sequential write/read.
RAM is all about random data access.
SWAP is a slow, temporary storage.
