I have a question for anyone well informed on SDHC class ratings.
I have been leaning towards purchasing a 32gb microsd card for my adam. My question is–would a class 10 be worth the extra $40-50 compared to a lower class?
The main pro i have seen spoken of is the rate of transfer is greatly increased with the higher class rating. Other than that what would a basic music listener, e-book reader, or movie viewer gain from a higher class?
I’m used to going out and getting the best there is only to be faced with the fact that the best at the moment is not always the best for me or my pocket book… lol

Sounds like you could use a real answer. The things that you want to do with it when you are already loaded up and using it will not make a difference. But if you were to make a backup of that 32gb card at a class 2 you will be waiting a LONG time. You should at least get a class 4 and shoot for a 6. Not sure they have a 6 for the 32gb yet but they have a 4.
Thanks for the answer. That's what i figured would be the issue

I was not trying to be an ass sorry it came off that way
Looks like lexar just released the class 10 today so I was wrong. Using the card on the phone you will not see much difference. The difference will be when you are trying to use it on your computer like chogardjr said. And even when it is mounted to your computer with your phone you will not see the full performance from it but you should still see a good boost of speed from it.
Personally I would pick speed over size every time, my 16 has been full for awhile but I'm waiting for real class 6/10 32gbs to drop before buying a bigger one.
There are a few card makers out there who will straight up lie about it though so be weary of them.... dont even bother looking on ebay.

I concur. For the average consumers use a class 6 is ideal. It's a great balance of cost and speed.
My personal opinion, only camcorders and cameras with rapid shot capabilities will benefit from a class 10 or higher at this point. Yes, you can copy your mp3s to and from it faster... but how often are you pressed for time when you're doing that operation? My guess would be not often. (For me that's a "I'm home for the night" operation, so it can take as long as it needs)
Thanks for the insight once again fellas. I found a 32gb class 4 on amazon.com for $64.99 it's made by dane. Up until just recently I have never heard of the company but when school started last semester I bought a few 8gb usb sticks made by the same company.....(think I purchased them from target rather cheap) nonetheless I was extremely happy with the performance from a budget flash drive so I took a dive at it.
I'm anticipating the excitement off inserting it into my new Notion Ink "Adam" when it arrives later this month.... Santa came late this year.
Hopefully it will live up to all the buzz just as the Evo did. I've always been first to dive head first into gadget hype. Never has it lived up to the excitement #facepalm (palm pre) until the Evo. Now hopefully the "Adam" will do the same.

What brand of Class 6 SD card should I buy? I see TOPRAM, Transcend, and Nokia but not popular ones like Kingston and Sandisk..
According to this it says Class 2 SD cards might as well be as good as Class 6.

Class 2's performance-price ratio might be higher than Class 6. But only considering performance, I prefer Class 6.
I have a transcend Class 6, 8gb I got for $20 online and it works perfect.
Class 6...meh...you need 16gb Kingston Class 10. That is if your device can handle it.

Consider that the Sandisk cards may have a longer lifespan and be more reliable, which is a major plus point if you're going to be using the camera to take pictures of sentimental value.

The 16gb sandisk class 2 that comes in the hd2 can drag the phone down if you don't format it once in a while.

Sorry but this is one of my pet peeves. The subsidized price of a phone is not how much it "cost." It's subsidized from like $650 because you'll pay out about $1500 on that contract. His question is similar to asking about changing to a larger/faster hard drive in a laptop.
As for the answer to "is it worth it;" We will not really see the benefits too much until apps2sd in Froyo. Copying information from your computer to the sd card will be faster. The faster read won't be noticeable at this time since you are only storing data where the access times wont cause playback issues of music or video. Even with apps2sd, it is unlikely that you will notice much of any difference from a class 6 card. The class corresponds to the minimum speeds of the card and often times better quality cards will exceed those values by quite a bit. The real reason for the class 10 cards will be with the release of phones that do 1080p video capture. Taking multiple, very high resolution pictures per second or recording GOOD 1080p video are the only reasons I can think of to go beyond class 6 at this time. The only other reason would be if one of the developers used partitions on the micro sd to offload parts of android onto the sd card. Given the issues that could create, I dont know that anyone would really want to do that.

I suppose that we already have froyo-based ROMS around, so we have apps2SD now. The other point is that we already have 720p recording, so maybe we could benefit - certainly more than the current class 2 SD that it comes with.
The other point is that one can always use these cards with the next phone that a person buys. Of course, by then, SDXC cards will be out.
I thought our phones could only support up to class 6 cards, anything higher would just underclock to class 6 speeds.
At the beginning of december best buy was selling them for 99.

There doesn't appear to be a class 6 32gb microSD, just class 10 released right now. That will no doubt change in a month or so from now.
If you're looking for a decently priced 32GB class 4 Microsd card backed by one of the biggest and most respected retailers in the world, you can do much worse than this:
http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Class-microSDHC-Memory-TS32GUSDHC4/dp/B004R7P28W/ref=pd_cp_e_1
This is sold by Amazon... not "fulfilled by Amazon" but actually sold by them. So $55.00 buys you the peace of mind of knowing that if there's anything wrong with the card, you can always get your money back. Plus, this is about as cheap as I, personally, have seen legitimate 32GB cards sold for.
Also, buy with Amazon's Super Saver shipping and shipping is free (does take a bit longer, though.)
In any case, this is probably what I'll do when I get around to upgrading my 16GB card for a 32.

I ordered mine last night and can't wait for it to get here!
I bought a Patriot 32gb Class 4 for $39 + 1.99 shipping from Frys.com. It was a weekend only sale and I ordered mine like 30 minutes prior to the sale ending that Sunday night (so I didn't have time to mass post the deal here). I've since received it and it works great. I'm using it in my Acer Iconia A500 tablet instead of my Evo though. You'd think that watching hi-res movies on the larger screen of the A500 would put the read speed of this Class 4 card to the test, but the whole experience has been flawless.
If you're in the market for a 32gb card, I'd keep an eye on the usual websites (Amazon, Buy.com, Newegg, Frys, etc.) because they Class 4 cards are starting to get rather affordable. The Class 10 cards are still a bit too pricey for my wallet.

My understanding is that the read speed on most of these cards is going to be fine. It's the write speed that varies most and which is dependent on the Class rating of the card. I've got a 16GB class 2 card in my Nook Color and there's no lag watching movies.

The read speed varies significantly between the card classes as well. The big question is whether or not the hardware (which typically trails behind the media) can take advantage of a card with faster access/read times. I haven't found a utility that can speed test the external SD card in my Tegra2 based Acer A500 tablet, but in a thread on another Android forum, the Evo hardware was shown to take advantage of the significantly faster read times in Class 6 & 10 cards.
All that being said, how fast a read time does anyone really need? I've never felt the need to date to go faster than Class 4 card in any of my devices, for both read and even write times.

I wouldn't mind faster write times on my Nook Color if only to be able to copy movies on and off faster (on my current card it takes between 3 and 5 minutes per 1.5 GB title.) Other than that, yeah... not much reason. I've made lots of videos on my Evo and never noiticed any issues with write speed on my Class 4 card.

I've got a class 10 16GB card in my evo.

Basically, stay away from the cheap eBay auctions for them. You'll often get a fake-brand claiming to be SanDisk, but it's really not.
Stick with legit SanDisk or Transcend.

I'm curious: where would we see the advantage of a Class 10 card on our phones? Outside of copying files to/from them faster, I'm not sure there's anything we're doing on them that would benefit from it. Anything concrete anyone can suggest that I'm not thinking of? The photos aren't anywhere high-res enough to require it, and the camera's not capable of taking them in a fast enough burst mode to need it, and I'm assuming even the 1080p video capture doesn't need it or Samsung would have had an * in their advertising to let us know. So that leaves me to assume I could probably save some money on a lower class and be just as happy...

Class 6 will do just fine. The extra expense of the Class 10 is not worth it right now. As a previous poster hinted to, the phone does not do anything fast enough to take advantage of the full Class 10 speeds.
It might help for initial file transfers if you transfer Movies to it or something like that, but how often do you really do that?

Okay Thanks... should be easier to find that lol. But I don't, I just like the best of the best p
I have also looked around the net quite a bit regarding this issue (is how I came to my conclusion above). One more thing I would like to add is to make sure you buy Retail or from a known good supplier to be safe ... like Newegg... not Ebay or Amazon.
Most quality brand name cards will perform their benchmark tests at or above their ratings. This is why Class 6 is good enough for our uses right now until something better than 10 drops and pushes the 10's down in price. (Look to the future whenever you can get a deal)
Here is Sandisk's information on classes:
http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/d...speed-ratings-(performance)-for-sd/sdhc-cards
I doubt the cameras on our phones are recording at more than 6MB/s.
I would love to see some stats on this though.. you know, in case I'm wrong.

Sighs, Just might have to drink some wine to help with the pain. Letstalk SUCKS!
It speeds up everything. Application manager loads faster, faster scan at startup, apps in microsd will load faster, transfering/copying files from or to pc/internal memory, ect...
Just saw the new microsd cards rated at class 10 with UHS-1. I know these have been out for just a bit but how many people are actually using these cards? Any success stories or most noticable differences that outway the cost?
"Get faster app performance and advanced photo and video capture for Android™ powered or other smartphones and tablets with SanDisk's Ultra 64GB microSDXC UHS-I Card. With speeds up to 30MB/s and highest available Class 10 speed rating and UHS Speed Class 1 (U1) for recording uninterrupted Full HD video, it's the perfect choice to store your mobile life."
UHS-I is the fastest category of card available today with a bus interface speed of up to 104 MB/s.
Anyone rockin' these?
I've had a UHS-1 64GB microSDXC since it was publicly available. I have a hard-on for extra storage and it's great - It's extremely fast when transferring files and because of exFAT, I can store 1080p 5GB+ movies on it. It's pretty amazing. I do a lot of movie/tv watching with MHL and just on my phone and it works very well. I'm almost full though...
Related story: I have a friend who works at SanDisk who was able to snag one of their prototype 2TB microSDXC's for $1,500. Sadly, they won't be available for consumer purchase for a few years but it still works on his International SGS3. I'll ask him for pictures of the card and a screenshot of the storage space next time I can contact him and put them up in a new thread here.

Did you notice any different load times with external apps? Think I just had a heartattack lol. 2TB?!?! That's more than I have on all my harddrives at home. To be able to put that on my phone... wow.
Thanks for the headsup, can't wait for those!

I never asked him about the read/write speeds of it. All he showed me when he came to my house was that he had the card (it was unlabeled except for texting saying 'SANDISK' and 'A-053' under it) and when he put it in the phone, it said 1996.4GB available in settings>storage. I think if I can ask him to take a video and send it to me and then I secretly upload it to youtube, I'll get a lot of views.

So sad :crying:.. I'll keep dreaming. That brings me to the question of how the heck do you do that? I want to freak out my coworkers ahahah.
Edit: Googled it, could be up to 300mbps, not 30. Also, it should be noted, that was from an article from 2009 that also said that they were, "coming soon." lol.
I believe the current speeds on the 2TB cards are 30mbps data transfer. I just wonder what the price is going to be when they're introduced to the general public. I'm not sure how much I'd be willing to pay...
Look at it this way: If, in a year or two, a 2TB microSD and the PS4 is released, and they're the same price...
I'll be playing my PS4.
