Hey,
i've bought a 16GB class 6 card from memorystar...
If you want to install Link2SD/App2SD a class 6 card will be better (Class 6 is faster...)

I saw a class 10 card smwhere......now is this class 10 faster than class 6?
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App

yes, a class 10 card is faster than a class 6 card, but a class 10 card is very expensive.
Don't buy a noname class 10 card for 30 Euro that might be a fake...

yeah i have that doubt too , about if a 32gb sdcard is properly supported by our phone and not brick it in the trying lol , also how will i know what class if my sdcard? is there a software for check that info?

On the most cards its on the body...
If not you can also ask the shop where you bought the card

A memory card with class 4 or higher is good!

Buy class 6, thats save

Try to avoid buying memory cards on ebay unless you have a clear idea about memory cards and the ebay seller. Some cheap chinese cards on ebay could be fakes which either would not work well or would have the capacity inflated by a driver hack.
microSDs come in class 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10. The speed difference between each of these classes is tremendous. However, the price is also different. Class 10 being most expensive and class 2 being cheapest.
You'd have to strike a good balance between speed, price and capacity. I'd recommend a Class 6 with 16GB capacity.
Of course, if you have lots of money to spare, go for a class 10 32GB.

memory card

HI
I have a Motorola A853 handset Milestone mine is no memory card
I wanted to ask you what memory card should I buy?
I realized that there are some differences such as class specific company better
I would appreciate you if help me soon Thank you!
Most the bigger brands - Lexar, Sandisk, and Kingston in particular - are good, but don't rule out smaller makes like Patriot.
Personally, I would never settle for a memory card slower than class 4 (usually 6-9MBYTES per sec. transfer), but try for class 6 or higher. If I had to choose between a class 2/4 16Gb and a class 6/8 8Gb, I would opt for the latter every time.
if u are interested on amazon there are some class 10 16 gb cards...
Warunki will be the best 32gb card formie milestone

Class 6 or higher is my advice
Kingston is not good. My USB Kingston Flashdisk already not working (after less than 1 year of usage)

[Q] What class sdcard to buy?

Hi guys,
I'm getting a new sdcard for my phone, but I'm not exactly sure what class should I get. Is class 4 enough or should I get at least class 6?
I'm worried about full HD videos recording.
Any tips appreciated
Im going to get 16gb class 6
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Equipped with Team MicroSDHC 16GB Class 6.
I've got a 16GB class 4 and am happy with it.
In my opinion, the prices of cards class 6+ are too high for the extra transfer speed they offer.
tnx for the tips
16gig class 6 = 20$ off ebay.
And yes its a real class 6 as I have tested its speed

I use the microSD 8 GB I had in my Nokia 5800 and I do not know the class membership, but I like it here because we have spent nothing
I have 64GB class 6 i believe.

I'm using Lexar 16gb class 6, worth the price, the performance is near a class 10 microsd.

In my sensation, on a class 4 8GB card, i got 13 MBps full Hd recording and on same card but LG 2X, i get 18~19 Mbps fullHd video
I don't think class matters that much....
By the way i use internal SD storage for camera and later transfer to extrnal SD

I've read that class 10 is actually slower at reading small files than class 4
You can see a lot of data (real world data) here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjPE3ZAD2eVudE9vZmQ3aHlfTkFvU2J4ZUplRDJQTEE#gid=0
taken from this thread
So if you're going boot from SD for example I would get a class 4
If you are planning on transferring a lot of movies/music/photo's or recording video's in high resolution onto the SD, I would recommend a class 10
But best of all: do some research and pick a card that excels in both, e.g.
SanDisk Mobile Ultra 32GB Micro SDHC Flash Card Model SDSDQY-032G-A11A
Samsung Class 10 MB-MSBGA/EU

I have one Samsung 32gb class 10 (MB-MSBGA) and i'm quite satisfied with it.
It costed 32€ (1€/Gb is really a nice price ) and it's fast
Antutu Bench 2.7 gives me writes of 17-18MB/s and reads of around 20-22 MB/s (these scores with only 4gb free in the sd card (full of music and hd vids))
I use Kingston 8G class 4.
In regular use it has enough speed.
I have a ridata 32GB class10.
Really happy with it too.
My rule is to get class 6 and up. But that's me because I tend to play around with my phone and may come a time where I need to boot from it. As of now, the class 10 helps with loading apps (I hope). Since I have CM7 and it's using the external card as the default sd mount.
team 16gb class 10 forever
i think class 6 is good and the performance is good too. I never heard any of my friends got problem with it
I'm using VERICO 16GB class 10, very good performance!
I had to decide between Class 6 and Class 10 for my P990, but since the Class 10 just had a small additional charge I picked this one.
Samsung Class 10 for 18-19€ (Germany)

[Q] Which SD card to get (class)

I want to change my 2gb SD card for an 8 or 16 gb one. Which one should I get? Should I go for a class 4 or 6, or is class 2 enough?
Get class 6. Class 6 SD cards are fast and if you're intrested, you may use multiboot with that card.
Well better card class better performance on sd...such like apps2sd and if u use a multiboot..but i think there is no specfial need for extra high speed card...
well at least 6th card class u would need!
personally i have 8gb 10 class card atm!
I don't think I can easily find class 8+ cards here. What about this one? I can't find which class it is?: http://www.sandisk.com/products/mobile-memory-products/sandisk-microsdhc

16GB CLASS 6 vs. 16GB CLASS 10

I have found 16GB CLASS 6 strontium brand which cost around 26USD. You think 16GB class 10 is a big difference for class 6?16GB Class 10 is still not available now in my area. What do you think? Planning to use it on link2sd/app2sd to focus all my apps on SD
Both are fast but class 10 is faster.

I use a transcend 8Gb class 6 SDcard. ofcourse, apps2sd is already included with most Custom ROMs (you do NOT need to move apps to the SD card, a partition,ext3/4, is used as apps and data storage and is treated as internal). Use Link2SD only on the stock ROM.
What i mean is that class 6 enough for day to day operation oe gaminf ie better buy class10?

Class indicates minimum data rate.
6 = 6MB/s
10= 10MB/s
So it is almost 2x faster
Some of "pro" class 10 have speed over 20MB/s
This isn't a huge difference for using app2sd. You can search in web a test of both sdcards. If the price difference is so big, buy the class 6 one.

Guys will our beloved W8/X8 benefit the class 10 speed or it is only for card reader? I mean in terms of gaming. Does class 10 outshines class 6? cause right now Im using a class 2 stock 4GB microsDHC with the write speed of 4.9 MB/s and a read speed of 11.3 MB/s on SD Card tools
You only need a class 10 card if you will be doing 720p video recordings. Since our cellphone can't record in 720p, it is not worth it. If you plan on upgrading your phone soon, then you'd better wait.
i have AData 8GB class 10 card and i pay for it 15$ dollars and worth that money because is very fast and good..
I have AData 16 Gb Class 10 for 28$ and its great =) fast card for good prize.
Class 10 is faster a lot compare with class 6. Because I am always copy files from Office to my laptop everyday, i feel the difference.faster 1.5-3x.
But, our x8 is only run about class 6 speed. So class 10 used on a x8, the speed is only faster about 5-10%.
If you ask my comment, i will still recommend you to buy the class 10,because: it is faster, and the price is not a big difference. maybe few dollars. you still can use the memory card on future phone.
Hmm I had bought a RiData 16GB Microsdhc class 10 worth around 35USD. But when I test with sd tools in market I can get only 9 and if lucky 10.1 most of the time 8.9
Class 10 cards suck at reading a lot of small files (gaming).
but is that normal for class 10? my stock class 2 can go over 3

that is normal for our x8. my stock class 2 was able to run at around 4mb.

in pc, that is 14-16mb.

i bought strontium 16gb class 10 2 months ago for 630Rs. Apparently it is out of stock as of now. And its great + cheap.
and you can also buy transcend 16GB Class 10 for 899Rs (that's expensive).
You gotta search on flipkart cuz i can't post links.
You will find 16gb class 10 in range of Rs. 600-800 in shops. But do check whether its class 10 or not.
Class 10
I am using a Transcend 16GB Class 10 micro sd and its awesome.:good:
