Sd card and the SGS

I am searching for the best SD card - which means farstest.
Around 8 or 16gb should do, but does anyone of you guys have
any idea which cards are good, fast and reliable to an OK price?
Ive been looking at the samsung 8gb class 6 i think, and kingston 16gb class 10?
And do they live up to thier class specifications, or are they far above as seen with some Sandisk cards?
EDIT: its main purpose is to play with the lagfix
From Wikipedia:
* Class 2: 16 Mbit/s (2 MB/s)
* Class 4: 32 Mbit/s (4 MB/s)
* Class 6: 48 Mbit/s (6 MB/s)
* Class 10: 80 Mbit/s (10 MB/s)

whats your budget? if u looking for the best then yea a 32gb class 10 is thats even available lol, but will prob cost the same as your handset!

i'll recomend Transced (good performance not cheap yet not expensive)
or Sandisk (expensive always) Sandisk Ultra (even more expensive)
Kingston is a value card, not good performance
Adata has 2 line the value line (sucks) and the Turbo line (good)

Thanks alot.. I will look into that.. Its really hard to find a good speed comparison out there ..
And i completely forgot my main purpose with the card is to experiment with the lagfix.. therefor, in my opinion, it needs great speeds

class 6 8gb benchmark results in WM, looking for some1 with a class 10 16gb for tests

I have searched these forums but haven't found any performance results in the OS so I tested my class 6 card (ridata 8gb) in pocket mechanic.
I would like to upgrade to a 16gb card but can't decide if it is worth to upgrade to a Kingston 16GB MicroSDHC 16GB Class 10 card. I am not sure if the HD2 can benefit from a class 10 card (for a faster Android). So if anyone has a class 10 card, can you test it using pocket mechanic here? It is free for 30 days.
I found these results on a french site but they seem quite ambitious.
Hardware perf index = 851.67
perf filesystem index = 2153
read test (unbuffered) = 282.7 x (41.41 MB / sec)
read test (buffered) = 519.6 x (76.11 MB / sec)
write test (unbuffered) = 4.4X (655.90 kb / sec)
write test (buffered) = 14.2x (2.07 MB / sec)
General filesystem test = 11.59 transactions / sec
Low level unbuffered read test = 89.8 x (13.15 MB / sec)
Low level buffered read test) = 427.1x (62.56 MB / sec)
attached are my results, low level tests didn't work for me. What does low level mean?

If i see that benchmark,a class 10 would not help you.
I also have a class 6 from sandisk,and it does a max of 18mb/s in windows.
I see that you get not 18mb/s in the device,so i think that a class 10 is not faster,atleast not in the device.
Just a theorie,i dont have a idea what the max writing/read speed are for the HD 2 himself?
Anyone?

My results

I have a class 10 16gb.
Downloaded Pocket Mechanic 2.99.283, installed it in Winmo 1.66 fre, no extra apps.
Running Benchmark on my sdcard give me always an Winmo error, choose do not send to Microsoft, but let me continue tests. Here are results:
File system read test (unbuffered) 14.58 MB/sec
-----------"--------- (buffered) 18.50 MB/sec
-----------"--------- (unbuffered) 1.26 MB/sec
-----------"--------- (buffered) 6.88 MB/sec
File system general test 12.49 operations
Hope this help.

Hmz,so i will stay on my class 6 card.
Or some 1 with a class 10 that runs this test,and comes above 18mb/s

thanks for the feedback, it seems the 50+ euros in price difference are not worth it, I will stick to a TeamGroup 16GB MicroSDHC Class 6

Class 10

You're right, class 10 is expensive about 121.-Sfr, and not obviously more performant than a class 6.

Just ordered one for my brother and one for myself!

Just a heads-up: as the card class increases, sequential read/write gets faster, but random read/write gets slower. Which means that high class cards are great to take photos and videos but suck for general use, like listening to music, gaming and other uses get slower. You should get a class 4 or 6 for smartphones, never a class 10. Besides, most smartphones can't cap class 4/6 cards transfer rate.
Hope to have helped! You can check this info on Wikipédia or Google

I wouldn't say they suck for general use they have a faster transfer rate which most newer phones are capable of. There really isn't a reason not to got with a higher class unless your phone doesn't support the transfer rate. I personally use a class 10 on my Atrix HD and there is not issues with it. Just my 2 cents.
