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!!!!!!

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.

Just take it out and look at at.
There will be a letter C with a number in it....that will be the class of the card
I tried this to no avail. Used gparted to partition and format several times.
when using adb, I don't see devices attached, strangely enough. and so expectedely, subsequent commands from above link do not function
when I put the sd card in a pc under linux, I see all the partitions.
when I boot leedroid, card storage is available.
tried a vast amount of hints and solutions, but nothing helped.
During my trials, lost 2gb of sdcard storage...nowhere to find them...
phone is rooted, s-off. a 16GB sd card works like a charm but is getting small
I want to use cm7, as it give me more room for sw. (phone is always full as for many of you!)
best regards,
Olivier

Most people has problem with a class 10 sdcard, 16gb or 32gb class 6 and below, no problem.
I had same problem with 16gb class 10 but not with 16gb class 6.
So my recommendation is to get 16 GB Class 6 SD card from a good manufacturer like A-DATA, Kingston, Lexar or SanDisk. It will be fast enough for all operations.

Thank you so much for reporting this...I was planning to buy a SD card soon.

I should have bought that 64gb card a month ago when it was on sale. Good info though.
And you can never have enough storage. 64gb is just getting started.

This really should go in the Q&A forum, but ... Samsung makes microSD cards. If those aren't "compatible" I wouldn't know what else could be.
Actually just about any class 10 memory card will do.
Yeah pretty much any Microsd will work on the note2. Choose Samsung, SanDisk, Kingston, Adata etc

I recently bought a 64 gb class 10 san disk micro sd card...it says ...they are the fastest...but hey...i am over happy with it...just installed the ex2sdinternal memory script ...it simply swaps your memory...e.g...my internal memory is now 64 gb...and my sd memory is 16 gb ....nice?
Now i can install any big gameloft and ea games without worring about directory bind and there freezes and force closes...
I really advice you to buy a 64 gb...it is cheap..i bought it with a adapter for 55€..it should be 70-75 $ max.

Is class 10 really important ?
Speed class corresponds to the burst write speed, which is important for devices like high end cameras. Since I have a class 4 and have no problem filming in HD, I suppose it isn't a necessity for the Note2.
Maybe more important are the read speed and IOPS (for small files) but I don't know where to find these data.

bro most memory card is sdhc....its just SD high Capacity...if u have more than 4 gb...all are sdhc i think..
And i really dont know why people are using class 10 cards for phones, i think its for dslr and video cameras which require fast writing speed. IMO class 6 is enough for phones. (P.S : Correct me if i am wrong.)
Sent from my C2004 using Tapatalk
Almost all smartphones these days support upto 32 GB. SDHC means Secure Digital High Capacity, and @ansebovi you are right all memory cards with a memory of 4GB-32GB are SDHC. And our phone will support all SDHC cards. What our phone doesnt support is SDXC cards,its SD Xtended Capacity,used for 64GB+ cards.
@SK:) Its upto you to use the memory card of your choice. If you can afford Class 10 SD cards then its fine, I use a Class 4 SD as its enough for my use. But if you plan on swapping(which in this phone's case,is not really needed) then higher the class the better it gets.....

because i use memory card for swapping,saving app in sd than internal sd....internal sd speed is high...
so to compensate than speed we may need class 10,,..since i m using more than 100apps which are stored in sd..if i use class 6...my phone will lag...since it cant read from sd with high speed.....
price of 32gb class 10 is 1500rs
price of 32gb class 6 is 1350rs
with just 150rs u can get 2xspeed...
now understand?

Yes it will after swapping your external memory becomes internal and vice-versa and then you will be able to install games directly to your swapped internal memory without using folder mount or gl2sd.

Yes dude. 64GB will work almost all devices. (maybe 128, 256...etc)
Even very-lower end phones and basic phones.
But couldn't get its full potential.
I mean we have to use it under FAT32 file system.
I am using windows on my PC, so I don't know about Linux & ext partitions.
If your handset doesn't shows an option to format it, you could use third party partition tools on your PC or even your handset itself.
