Will a Class 2 Micro-SD make much of a difference?

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?

What speed is the 2GB stock MicroSD card?

What speed is the 2GB stock MicroSD card the HD2 ships with? (Just to know)
IS Class 2 fast enough? I have a 16GB class two that I'd like to use, but not at the expense of performance on the phone, or problems, etc.
Anyone?

Class II is enough for a phone. Dunno the speed of the inserted one - guess it is class II. I'm using a class II 16GB mSDHC from Toshiba since more than a year and I never faced any problems.

Here I have done two micro SD benchmark using sandisk microSD reader:
SanDisk microSDHC 2GB Classe 2
SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSDHC 8GB Classe 4
The Ultra version has twice the speed of the stock one.

Yeah, that may be right and it could be faster when you copy some files to your phone or pull it down of it. But nevertheless the phone does not need more then class II, because it won't be able to exhaust it.

Even when recording video?

SD Compatibility List??

Just wondering if anyone knew what brands work better than others. I recently put a Patriot 8GB class 4 in my N1 and it causes massive stability problems under read/write access to the SD card. Usually results in a freeze then reboot. Can anyone reccomend a more suitable brand?? thanks!

I don't think it is as important on the nexus as it was on say a G1 ot MT3G. Unless you are still running a2sd. Obviously the higher the card's class, the faster your transfer will be. I would still stick to the higer class cards. Transcend and Sandisk both make really good class 6 cards.

The 4GB that came with the nexus was a Sandisk Class 2. the class 4 patriot doesnt really seem to make a difference in speed, so I just should have stuck with the original brand

Buying a new SD card for Android

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.

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
