Hey, I just wanted to ask:
Does having a Class 8 8GB perform better than a Class 4 8GB uSD in App2SD+ or/and even video playing mkv/avi files from your SD card ?
Please advice. Thanks
Desire phone o_o rooted
Not really, the class of an sd card dictates the write speed not the read speed, that remains pretty consistant between card classes

I've read many threads about certain apps needing a sd card of class 6.
I am currently using one that came with my HTC desire, which is a 2gb one.
How do i check if my SD card is class 6 or not?
Thanks in advance.
It is usually written on the card you may see a number in a circle. Benchmarking apps can also help, try antutu or sd card tools from the market.

iirc: the stock card is a class 2 card but a fast one (> cheap class 4)
Yep, the stock card is Class 2.

Any advice on which are the best higher class sd cards to purchase, taking into account cost, speed & reliability ?
play.com had a sale on some class 6 8gb cards. i don't know if they still do. i got mine from them.
One of compatible class 10 cards are from A-Data.
I also have class 2 4 GB card, SD tools can't detect the class and selects the "?" radio button. However the read are write speed are 23MB/s and 5.3MB/s. Is this normal?

It depends on the free space on your sdcard...
I have a Lexar 32GB Class 10 and when I have free space of 20GB the read speed is cca 35MB/s and the write sp. is 10MB/s. When a 10GB free space: 25 and 8MB/s.
EDIT: Can somebody confirm that I'm right?
EDIT2: MB/s not GB/s

10GB/s? You sure that's what you wanted to write?

To answer your question: No, those numbers are wrong. I suggest to format SD card with SDFomatter.
Whose question are you answering?
me too. Thanks in advance .

im planning on buying myself a 16gb sd card class 10
im using SupeROM HD v2.0 D2WE
i was just wondering if buying that class 10 sd card will make my phone faster?
it shut because the reading an writing to sd card is faster
It should be faster but generally, people on here have been having better performances with class 6.
thanks guys
I wanted to let anyone looking for a micro sd about a deal i found. I found a Patriot Memory 16gb micro sdhc class 10 for $39.99 on www.CompUSA.com I think i'm going to order one after reading here on xda that patriot makes a pretty reliable sd card. I haven't ever used a patriot memory product so i only know what guys on here have posted. anyone make sure you check into the company on your own. They have the wintec 32 gb class 10 for $84.99 too!
apparently class10 cards are no good for phones, take a look at this link
yeah you dont want to spend all the money on something that might not work right?
I had read here on xda that the class of the sd card doesn't matter but the size(gb) is what matters with phones. like my SE X10 is only compatible with up to 16gb of external memory. Is that not correct? Can anyone clear this up for me?
X10's are compatible with up to 32gb microSD cards, I've got one in mine.
The size is important as you want to buy an SD card that works for the content that you intend on putting on it. If you have a lot of MP3s and videos, take a lot of pictures and shoot a lot of videos then obviously you are going to want at least a 16gb SD card.
The class does indeed matter. If you have hundreds or thousands of images then a class 2 card would take ages for them to all load in the Gallery. Or if you use App2SD at all a class 2 card wouldn't be able to keep up with the reading and writing and the app would be sluggish.
A class 10 card in my opinion is a bit excessive, I'd personally go for a class 4 or 6.

This is very true. I have a class 2 card and loading thumbnails for artists/albums is painfully slow in mediascape. I would go for a 32 GB if you are a music fan. I have a 1800 songs on my X10 and its already full. Class 4/6 should be good, class 10 is a little excessive.

Just take the card out of the phone. There should be a 'C' printed on the card and there will be a number inside the 'C'. This is the class of your card.
I was using stock 8 GB class 2, I brought Team 16 GB class 10. Difference in performance is noticeable.
I have a class 10 8gb card and it works way better than the stock card.
Just make sure you tweak your read_ahead_kb.. Search for SD card speed improvement or speed increase.
In general, Class 4 or 6 are good enough for the application usage by phone, such HD video and phones.
I tested my Class 4 sd card, it able to transfer ~5.5mb / sec, not bad.
Yes, when price come down, I will get a Class 100 sd card too.
cheers
I'd rather the class 200.

Class 10 significantly improves the performance.
Honestly it does not matter if someone is using the SE stock rom...however since I have tried the awesome ROM created by wolfbreak...my apps stored in sd was very sluggish...had to buy a class 10 16 gig to improve the performance...
Just got a 16Gig class 4 card...goto to play with data2sd and see the quadrant!!!!!!

Is there maybe an app or system menu which I could use to determine the class of my microsd card?

If you get a real kingston class 10 you will get five times the speed of a low spec class 2 generic sd card.

Real Class 10 SD cards work at 10MB/s of data transfer speed.
Class 2=2MB/s
Class 4=4MB/s
Class 6=6MB/s
Class 8=8MB/s
Class 10=10MB/s
The best are as said by others Kingston and Sandisk.
I've a Sandisk class 6 card and i get near 5,5MB/s of data transfer.
Mine is still 8gb, i want to buy another but in Brazil it's very expensive, the taxes are very high.
Got the Wintec Filemate 16gb class 10 for just under $40 at Frys Electronics and it's given me no problems. Used it in my NookColor running tons of apps and music from it without a hitch. Now it's in my X10 and with using the SD Speed Up tools, it helped alot.

i have a kingston class 10 sd card but i feel it is not really a genuine class 10 card.. my speed on sd card tester(on market) is only 1.8mb/s write speed and 10.03mb/s read speed
my question is if i buy a true genuine sandisk micro sd class 10 card.. will it speed up my applications using int2ext/m2sd or any a2sd scripts? actually what is the speed of the internal memory of the htc desire?

I have a kingston class 10 card too. Mine writing speed is 11.6 MB/s and reading is 18.1 MB/s (measured with sd-tool app). I was using InsertCoin 1.1.4(a2sd) rom with class 4 card, after upgrading the sd card to class 10, it really improved the performance.
ok mine must be fake then! will buy a sandisk one from ebay(anyone has a good experience buying microsd on ebay.. everyone seems to say they are all fake... even the trusted buyers sell fake ones?)
AFAIK Desire supports only Class 6, so your Class 10 SD will work as 6.
You will achieve Class 10 speeds only copying with USB from PC for example.

I doubt you'd get class 10 even through the USB.
Best way to check SD card speeds is to put it in a card reader and into laptop or PC.
Checking through the HTC desire is useless as speeds can vary.
I've just tested twice with sdcard tester and got 10mbps and 3.7mbps

Yes you get full speed thru usb as it's not using Desire onboard sd controller...
If you're not getting full speed it might be ROM issue for example.
