is there any class4 16gb microsd?

I'm currently using a class-4 6gb microsd from sandisk, serial number checked at site and its genuine
All 16gb microsd I can find in ebay is class-2, will I feel the difference or its not a big deal?

I've been doing some searching also and all I can find is class 2 on a 16 gb card. Suchas:
http://www.supermediastore.com/sandisk-class-2-16gb-micro-sd-sdhc-transflash-memory-card-only.html
Actually on their Website Scandisk only shows this one 16 gb card at all:
http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(2702)-SDSDQ-016G-A11M-SanDisk_microSDHC_16GB_Card.aspx

I've been having this exact same experience. Has the classification scheme changed or something? Why would Sandisk stop selling their fastest cards?

Adata has one- i actually have it. Its a "Turbo" class 6 16 gig micro.
here is an Amazon link.
http://www.amazon.com/DATA-microSDHC-Memory-Adapter-AUSDH16GCL6-RA1/dp/B001VLIVEE
I got mine for around $50, but you have to watch for the sales.
Hope this helps

Thanks for your helpful response! This is exactly what I need.
I still don't understand why Sandisk no longer sells Class 4 and 6 micro SD cards, but I guess it's their loss: I'll be buying this A-Data one.
Thanks again!

RE 16gb class 4 cards
Hiya,
Thats very unusual, i am sure Sandisk does a class 4 card.
I've only just recently got my hands on a SanDisk Mobile Ultra(TM) 16GB card, its got a number 4 symbol embossed onto the outer packaging of the chip! Defo not a 2, unless i've been had! lol
Comes with an excellent guarantee.
I hope this is of use. :-D
Easy enough to find on amazon.
Question for some techy------>
For class 6 to work does the host device need to support it to achieve the improved transfer/read/write data rates? Would love a Class 6 SDHC.

why dont u buy this instead, 8GB Class 6 for $20 USD u cant beat that plus free shipping

I'm looking for a Sandisk 8GB MicroSDHC Class4. Any Idea where?

At the moment I'm using a Kingston 8GB MicroSDHC Class 4 and let me tell you; IT SUCKS.
The speed it horrible comparing to my Sandisk 2GB Class 2.
Therefore I would like to get a Sandisk instead. They are pretty cheap these days online. Amazon is selling a Sandisk 8GB class4 for only $16 + shipping. However I'm from Canada, shipping is a monster. On Ebay, most of them are fake and not even Class 4. So do you guys have any suggestion for me on where to buy a "Real" Sandisk 8GB class 4? (well, no need to be Real, as long as it's fast)

I'm not sure about the sandisk class 4 I would try perhaps Amazon.com on that. But as for Micro SDHC cards go this is by far the best card for the price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208453 Just in case you are wondering it is a class 6 and I have this card personally and can verify that it operates at the class 6 specs.

Amazon.com and newegg.com doesn't ship microsd card to Canada.
As stupid as it sounds, newegg.ca doesn't have any 8GB microSD other than from A-Data... and I had really bad experience with that company.

That's strange that they won't ship them to Canada, but anyways I have used A-DATA for many years now and I have never had a bad experience possibly you just happend to get a bad product which unfortunately happens sometimes. I suggest A-DATA to lots of people and trust them myself so it might not hurt to try them again. Just my thoughts (man I feel like an A-DATA spokesperson LOL)
Edit: Just checked newegg.ca and found http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208453 which is the exact card I recommended.

Have you ever use Transcend card?
it's the first time I heard of it... are they good?

Yes I as previously stated I have that exact card and have been very happy with it. I also have 4GB of their ram in the very computer I am typing this with. For more info on them check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcend and make note of the quote "On September 2008, IDC India reported that Transcend ranked number 1 in sales of flash memory products, including USB flash drives and flash cards, in 2007, beating Kingston and SanDisk[2]."

Hey, if you have the same card, can you do me a favor and time how fast can a Class card transfer 1gb file?
This is insane... their shipping rate is $13 and Handling $3

I get about 6MBs write and between 9-10MBs read I just wrote a 1GB dummy file to it and about 3.5-4 mins. But that was with a card reader that support class 6 cards so results may vary on that expect them to be lower in the phone through usb. The test was performed with Roadkil.net Unstoppable Copier http://roadkil.net/program.php?ProgramID=29

My Kingston 8Gb Class 4 take about 4min to transfer 1GB as well. I find it slow. When I did a benchmark using PocketMechanics, the write speed is only 2MBs. That's why i'm returning it. Now that you're telling me it take you 3.5-4mins, I think my card is not that bad, then.
When you said 6MBs write, how did you test it?

The program I tested it with is listed there and I just took the averages sometimes it is higher very rarely is it any lower.

find a friend who works at futureshop or bestbuy and get them to buy you one. their employee's discount is sick.
Or, if you're in vancouver, check http://www.ncix.com. they sometimes have good deals. best of all, staples are sometimes willing to pricematch/beat them

Thanks... it's a cool program. Transfer Rate is 3.62MB/s
I guess, I will return my Kingston and will buy that card. Hopefully it will go faster

£20.99 ~ $30USD, not bad at all... and on top of that, I love sandisk memory
Can you use the same program mentioned above and test a 1GB file to see how fast it can transfer?
Thanks buddy

Ford & Chevrolet beat out Lamborghini & Ferrari in sales....but guess what's better?
Rank in sales means nothing if you're looking for quality. 90% or more of the time the top name in sales is NOT the best quality, just the best value. Sandisk is definitely better quality.

i currently use a 32gb kingston microsdhc that i bought from microdirect. works absolutely perfectly.
word of advice, dont buy any cards from ebay, from my own personal experience 90% of those for sale are fakes from china and dont actually work, or are 2gbs rebranded to 32gb

using a sandisk 32GB - working fine.

I have been using Sandisk 32gb class4 card from the last 2 months which was bought from eBay India. I don't feel anything wrong with that so far. Even registered in sandisk official website for a 5 year on site warranty.
But the purchase depends on the choice.
Sent from my Desire HD

I am using an IMATION branded class 10 32GB micro-SD.
Tested speed : Write 10MB/s READ 20MB/s

agree with being careful when buying from e bay I bought a 32gb card before and it used to crash whenever I copied more than 2-3gb onto it

any cheap models for class 10 with 64 GB?

Compatible Memory Card list

Can anyone give me a list of compatible memory cards with the Venue Pro?
I'm looking to purchase a 32gb card but I want to make sure the card I buy will work with the battery removal/card switch method.
Specifically does the class matter? I can get a 32gb class 10 for £40 off Amazon

i think minimum of class 4 is compatible..
I've just ordered sandisk 32gb class 4.. will be informing if its working.

The class matters a lot. Best to go for only Class 2 or Class 4.

Sandisk is a good brand. However, make sure you get a genuine Sandisk card and not a fake.

I ordered a class 10

Seems that class really doesn't matter that much.

just installed sandisk 32gb class 4.. working perfectly..

I just installed a generic class 10 32gb card and all seems fine

32gb class 4 here. i remember people saying you needed a class 2 back when we were still having the wifi problems, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

hey guys,
can you please post the part no. or the sn of your 32 gb cards so that i can buy one
i would prefere if i go with 32 gb class 10 card
thanks in advance

This card based on this article. Swapped mine on day 1 back in may. No problems since.
