Looking forward to finally turning my phone into my day-to-day mp3 player, as well as running debian and apps2sd, I've been reading all the latest threads about sd cards and finally decided the most optimal config is a 16gb class 4.
Reasons:
· Class 6 is unnecessary as the nexus wont really take advantage of it.
· Class 2 may be kind of slow for apps2sd and debian, which I'm looking forward to investigate on.
· 16gb because although 32gb is comming, it will probably be too expensive for me.
Benchmarks:
I've looked through eBay and found a few interesting "offers", both at about $40:
SanDisk 16GB Class 2
TOPRAM 16GB Class 4
I really want a Class 4 for all I've been reading lately, but I can't afford a 16GB Class 4 SanDisk.
Does anyone know anything about "TOPRAM"? I had never heard about it before and I'm wondering if it could be a low-quality card.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
No one knows ANYTHING about TOPRAM?
I've seen ppl complaining on the internet about the device not recognizing the sd card, but i guess that happens sometimes..i think..o.o
I have always used A-Data cards, been happy with them.
here are some speed test people have done http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/SDCardSpeedTests
I use and trust PNY class 4 sd cards never failed a year in my rooted g1 and still going with apps2sd and so far with my nexus

With all the talk about SD card speeds I've been seeing lately, I was starting to regret buying the SanDisk 16gb class 2 and not getting a Class 6. But after looking at this chart, I can't imagine why I would need more speeds than that?

I have a 16GB Team Class 6 from ebay
I'm using a Polaroid 16gb class 2. Seems to be working fine for me, even running apps2sd.
I have an 8gb class 6 from RiData. seems fine to me, used on my MT3G, HD2 and now my N1.
i do agree with you though that a 16gb class 4 might just be the best cost/performance
Since we are talking about storage memory, I have a slightly unrelated question. Which is the better, microSD or internal storage that comes with some of the phones out there? In terms of speed, reliability, and cost, which one is better?
With regard to Class 6 - don't write it off if you plan to remove the card from the phone to do movie or music transfers. There are a lot of microSD adapters for computers that can exceed the performance of a Class 6 card and so if you are commonly hooking it up to a computer to transfer media then you'll be glad you went with a Class 6.
Now, if the capacity gets high enough to store all of my music, then I won't care about that issue, but personally I can only store a subset of my music on my microSD card so I do worry about the speed when attaching it to a computer...
i have that TOPRAM sd card on my nexus one i got from amazon Usa and it work very well
Class2 is definitely slower
I've used classes 2, 4 and 6 in an HTC Magic. I used apps2sd with Cyanogen Mod.
My own experience was that Class2 was definitely slower when using apps2sd. But Class4 and Class6 were better...and didn't appear to be much different. I had Class6 sdcards anyway as that is what was recommended for most of a year. They performed well.
The last ones I bought were Class 6 8GB Transcend MicroSDs for NZ$40 each (US$28-ish). That included 12.5% GST.
Hi
Where can I buy 32GB microSD in Atlanta GA?
What Class of microSD is recommended for for HD2 running Android? is Class 2 enough?
Thanks
i don't recomend you to buy an MiicrSD 32GB....
Why? the max i see is class 2 ( low data transfers ) and if exist a class 4 or 6 will be expensive... over 200dollars or more... ( i guess )
You be OK with a micro sd HC of 16GB class 4 or class 6 ( i have one of class 6 and works GREAT! )
If you still whant an sd of 32GB please search on ebay, or other smartphone webs.
Excuse my bad english.
PD: The minimum recomended For me about the class, it's class 4, class 2 works like a ****...
i have a class 2 4gb and other 8gb, and works Slooooow.... but my 16gb class 6 works faster!!
A class 4 32GB microSD does indeed exist, but it's ~$160. And I still recommended having class 6, which does not exist in the 32GB size, yet. Just stick with your SD card and keep your money.

People are saying that we should use a Class 4 SD Card. Same ole BS, HTC puts in a Class 2 and then still ships out Class 2 as replacements. Figure that one out. I know $$$$$. LOL
I don't think you can even run Android with a 32Gb card. I've heard the best card for Android as far as battery consumption and speed, is Kingston 8Gb Class 4.

Android will run with a 32GB card but that's the most the OS can address.

Thanks for the replies.
My current microSD is 16GB Class 2 (Sandisk) and it is running Android with no issue at all on my HD2; so I think that a 32GB of the same Class (2) will not under perform. Since I want to try and compare between several Android builds, I need the space. I am going to be in Atlanta this week, that why I'm looking for a place where I can purchase a leget card. In the past was burnt twice when I purchesased "fake" SD cards via eBay.
Doses any one run Android on HD2 with Class 2 32GB and facing problems due to the card?
If you guys know of a leget place (e.g. Best Buy, etc.) that have the card in the Atlanta area, then please provide the location info.
Thanks again.
Check at a verizon wireless store. Here where I live they were running a promo, if you bought a droid x, you could purchase a 32gb micro at a discounted price.

wouldn't be easier and cheaper to buy a card online and just ship it overnight?
or, walk into a verizon store and they'll charge you plenty, but for a legit card
Was thinking of getting a 32GB MicroSD. Sandisk Class 4 (genuine).
Wondering if anyone had a 32GB card in their Play and if there are any problems.
ps. What speed is the card the Play came with?

mine came with a class 4 16gb (UK Unlocked) i bought a 32gb class 4 san disk and it actually seems faster than the 16gb lol. I have no problems with the 32gb at all. My only problem is i wish the play supported 64 gb lol.
Sweet.
Can I ask.
If I upgrade to a 32GB card, is it simply a case of copying over all contents from my 16GB card to the 32gb card?
I have been using app2SD and am NOT rooted if that makes a difference.
Thanks.
32 class 4 is enough but class 6 would be best
i have a 16gb class 4
paid that 19€ on amazon
I use a kingston 32gb class 4 card in my play with no issues at all, im still running out of space on my card tho lol

Random access is actually slower on higher class sd cards, so emulator roms run better on class 2/4/6 cards

Great.
Need to find a good deal on a Genuine 32GB card then.
The price jump from a 16GB to 32GB is huge.
ps. Anyone know if it is just a matter of copying contents across or will I have problems with most of my apps being installed on SD card (either by app2SD or the stock android 'move to sd').

You probably should not say stuff like that. People are going to run out and get higher class cards expecting their phones to run games at higher FPS and better speed when that's not at all the case.
ive been using a 32gb class 10 for a while now
and its good to have a decent amount of space to put all the games roms on
i mean some games require 1200mb of sd space
the only benifit from getting a class 10 over say class 6 is the class ten has quicker loading times say when loading games etc
ive had no probs using a 32gb
just dont get buying a cheap 32gb memorette micro sd off ebay
i got 2 off 2 different suppliers and both were fake
eg class 4 4gb even though when card was plugged in it did say it was a 32gb
so if you want lots of space get a 32gb
and if you want faster loading time with large apps and games get a higher class
6-10

when i changed from 16 to 32 i always back up my sd card on my pc every now and then just incase my card breaks or i lose my fone , but all i did was copy all the stuff off my old card that was on pc and transferd it to my new 32gb card and all was well
I've bought a 32GB Transcend µSD card. I don't know its class, but it's the cheaper I have found. All I can say is that it is as fast as the 2GB card sold with the phone.

I have bought a Class 10 micro sd from newegg.ca and it was slow on games! Returned and got a class 4 sandisk and runs super smooth
have a 32gb class 10, didnt try it on the phone, because it was partitioned for the nexus one, but on the nexus worked like a charm, tomorrow when i make a single partition and reformat will try it on the play and give you my review.
i bought this one on ebay around march for $98.
I'm using a Lexar class 10 32gb card, and had no problems with anything. Everything runs the same as my sandisk 8 and 16gb cards.
im perplexed. 32 gb class 6 or class 10 for faster load times in games?
hi i was wondering what brand is the best and why? my current location Qatar and in the store i only saw Nokia 32Gb isa that a good one?
and can you please give me a full info of what brand should i choose 4 my xplay thank you
I would like to know this too except i'm in the UK, wha is the best make and class to use? the 16gb class 2 that came with my Play seems quite slow.
I really don't see a difference between makers all that often. If newegg ships to your country take a look at their cards. I would, for a 32 reccomwnd a class 4 or 6 because of the size of the card

Makers do make a huge difference in quality control.. Buy big brands like Kingston...

Yea sandisk is a good brand new... With ****tier brands.. They don't actually make the sd themselves. They buy it from unknown sources and then brand it with their own logo.

What's PNY like as a brand?
how about nokia 32 gb? is that recommendable?
Nokia ones should be okay too. Just be sure to buy the bigger brands.
And I heard Ebay isn't the reliable. Lots of fakes or sd cards that says 32gb but is actually 4gb.

I just ordered yesterday a Sandisk 32GB class 4 for 46€ on amazon.fr.
http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00...ils?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1315820052&sr=8-1&seller=
I guess you can find similar deals in the UK.
This class4 has been tested on XDA, for sequential writes it reaches 6MB/s and it is faster than most other cards (including class 6 and 10) for writing small files.
i dont really believe in theses "class's" think its a scam to pay more for something that sounds better but isnt any differnet from any other well know popular SD card.. long sentance hahah
i bought a MUSTANG brand (german brand) 32gb microSD card class 10. it works perfectly and is very fast.the price is 80€ on ebay.
Upgraded last night from an old 16GB Class 2 to a Sandisk 32 GB Class 4 its like a night and day difference. 100% recommended.
uh how can i know the classes of the sd card??? if this one is class 2 or class 4?

It should have a 2 or 4 with a circle around it on the front label. If not there are some apps that can speed test it and tell you.
Looking at upgrading to the M from my D2...and have the following Class 4 card inside:
SanDisk 8GB MicroSDHC Card (SDSDQ 008G A11M)
It seems like we have multiple reports of the RAZR M taking 64GB cards and working fine, like this one:
SanDisk Ultra 64 GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card with Adapter (SDSDQU-064G-AFFP-A)
I'm thinking I probably want to upgrade to at least a 16GB, maybe a 32 as I am a little worried about the usable space on the M.
Will I notice a significant difference moving from my Class 4 to a Class 6/10?
Is the M actually utilizing the Class 10 speeds? It seems that it is hard to even find a 32+ card in class 6, most come in class 10. But if I stay down at 16GB, I can get a class 6 and save some $$.
I guess, basically, I want to know that if I am happy with just the 8GB of space, is it really worth upgrading to a 6/10 card - and if so, will 10 actually realize any potential over a 6?
I'm using a class 4 32gb and it does fine for only $24 at Walmart

Thanks...I'm sure that if you had nothing to compare it to a class 4 would seem to work fine.
What I'm more interested in is what the phone can actually support in terms of r/w speeds.
If it won't get any benefit of anything beyond a 4 - then you were smart to only spend $24 for a 32GB. But, for one looking to maximize performance, I'd prefer to put a 6 or 10 in. But...I don't want to spend the extra money if for nothing.

i think it really depends on what you are doing with the card, but unless the m is the last phone u will ever own then just get the fastest you can so you wont have to worry about upgrading if you need the speed
I have a SanDisk Ultra Extreme class 10 32GB, and, with the exception of large file transfers, I don't notice much of a difference. I got it got about $20 USD on FleaBay, so decided it was worth the extra five bucks from a normal card.
