Yeah this one, or a lexar class 10 if you want high transfer speeds with your pc.
Or a sandisk class 2 if you dont care about recording movies to your micro sd card.

the sandisk 32gb class 4 will work good with 1080p recording ?
and where i can buy it ?
because on amazon.com i can't find the class....
thanks

When I bought the Samsung WB2000 / TL350 compact camera which recorded 1080p @30fps it required a "Sandisk Extreme"... It apparently has a 20MB/s write speed. No class written on the card though...I think it's class 6 as class 10 is 30MB/s.
I would have thought you'd need a higher class to write HD video...

Note: "Sandisk Extreme" is a SD card not a Micro-sd

There is no class certified for 20MBps or 30MBps.
Class 10 = 10 MBps, thats why is 10.
So class 6 = 6MBps, class 4 = 4MBps, class 2 = 2MBps.
Class is equal to the minimum write speed in random spaces.

No, Class is the minimum write/read speed in sequential. The Lexar Class 10 32GB only does 0.018 MB/s in random write!

any more answer that might help me choose a good card ?
thanks

You need to figure out what you need in terms of speed and size, then how much money you want to spend. A 32GB class 10 card is extremely expensive, where a 16GB class 6 is around a third of that. I plan on using my Galaxy S II for holding all my music and some movies so I ordered this yesterday: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208573. Not too expensive and fast enough for most things.

as i said
i want 16gb but don't know which class and brand to take...
my main concern is recording video in 1080p

I have a class 10 Lexar 32GB Card.
You should buy a brand name card (Sandisk, Lexar, Kingston). I say that because there are IN GENERAL more reliable. There will be cards that are made by lesser known brands like Patriot and A-Ram but that does not mean they are any less reliable but more faults are reported for them than with Sandisk, Kingston or Lexar.
Having said that, my previous card was a 16GB Class 6 Patriot card. Worked awesome for a whole year and is still working in my friend's Desire (gave it to him and got the Lexar card for more space). In conclusion, don't buy eBay cards is what I'm trying to say.
Class? That's been debated A LOT. I got a class 10 and I can clearly see the benefit. Media Scanning is less than 10 seconds (mind you, I've got close to 38gb full in both internal and external cards), file copying is very quick and gallery files show up quicker, when I seek in a video file, it moves instantly (even with a 1080p movie).
It just depends on what you require. If you're slightly more patient, you can save 30-40 bucks by getting a 32gb class 2 card instead of a 32gb class 10 card.
Hope that helps. I recommend both Lexar and Patriot. Go for class 6 at least if price is not an issue.

sandisk class 4 I have does this just fine. Paid 45 euro for a 32gb card. Higher speeds are only needed for hight transfer speeds.

from what i know higher class needed for recording full hd videos
because of the transfer speed
and again 32 is too expensive for me 16 will be good
but if 4 class of sandisk will do the job ? or i need to search class 6 on another brand ?

[Q] microsd card class 10

hi,everyone.
I need your help on choosing the microsd card
(i) DNA microsdhc 16gb class10
(ii) KINGMAX microsdhc 16gb class10
(iii) TRANSCEND microsdhc 16gb class10
which microsdhc card are more stable,faster,worth and most importantly reliable.

Personally, i think the transcend is the more reliable out of the 3.

Although you have not mentioned them, Sandisk are the more reliable.
They may not show the higher speeds of a Class 10 (Sandisk are at Class 4) but you shouldn't always assume just because it is Class 10 it is going to be faster than a lower Class from a different manufacturer.
Sandisk speeds are always true.
I use 32GB Class 4 MicroSD cards in all my phones and tablets.
Never, not once have I had an issue.

KINGMAX microsdhc 16gb class10 did give me a memloss/amnesia once...

SanDisk Mobile Ultra MicroSDHC

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/SanDisk...57270079&skuId=4120107&st=microsdhc&cp=4&lp=5
It's a 16GB Class 6. However, how does it get 30mb read/write?

Sandisk website says 30mb/sec is only for read
Write is slower

how speed on write ?

Has anyone seen any speed tests on the Sandisk Ultra (Class 6). I'd be interested to see how it compares to their ordinary Class 4 card, and if the extra cost is justified.

How then? Is it worth buying?

If you do a search, the stated 30mb/s, is only obtained if you use a compatible sd reader, so far there is only about 10-15 readers on the market that will full ultilize the UHS 1 specifications, and the fastest one being from kingston and sandisk themselves.
Some cameras also supports UHS 1 to take advantage of the speed.
the figures are off my head, it was done a few months ago, and I have tested over 15-20 different sd cards, i will correct them later on if they are different.
using the kingston reader.
Sandisk
UHS 1
read 38mb/s
write 7mb/s
non UHS 1
read 18mb/s
write 7mb/s
other UHS 1 microsdhc available:
toshiba
UHS 1
read 41mb/s
write 20mb/s
non UHS 1
read 21mb/s
write 15.2mb/s

dont have ATM
adata (rebadged of the sandisk)
dont have ATM

I am using SanDisk Mobile Ultra 16GB, beforeit I used TDK class10 16GB
The write speed in Windows I feel that it's lower than TDK 16GB
but the quality of card I think that is better than TDK absolutely!

sandisk cards are much more stable, and the speed is stable too, while other brands the speed flutuates alot.

The Samsung micro SDHC cheaper then Sandisk and very good.

Cool. I just got 2 16GB UHS cards from Adata and as far as transfer goes I'm sure these are better.

Just upgraded to 32GB microSD.....

I learned a long time ago not all class10 sd cards are truly class10 read/write speeds. These cheaper cards tend to be slower

Anyone have a good line on a 32gb card?

I got mine for £11 of Amazon.co.uk. 16gb Class 10 microSD Samsung. works great in my defy.

Which would be the better microsd card?

Hello,
Planning on getting a 32gb card for my s3 because I always find myself in the situation where I'm freeing up space! I have my eyes on these 3 cards on Amazon, any ideas which would be best?
SanDisk Ultra 32 GB microSDHC Class 10 UHS-1
Sony 32GB Class 10 Micro SDHC R40
Samsung Micro SD 32GB Class 10 Plus UHS-I SDHC
I read that the Sony card performs much better than the SanDisk. The SanDisk gives around 10mb/sec of write speed, the Sony give 15 or so.
Sorry I can't put links to the Amazon items because I'm a new user and I need 10 posts at least.
Thanks guys,

Go with Sony or Samsung (make sure they are not fake). Sandisk is okay, but a lot of people have complaints of sandisk micro SD cards (mainly the 32gb) start acting up after 6 months of use, sometimes to the point it stops working.

I would go for a class4 or class6. Ive heard horror stories about them "ultra class10" and "plus class 10" sd cards and galaxy's. I have both sandisk class4 32gb and samsung class6 32gb and they perform well for what i need them to. Just my 0.02. Good luck.

i have a 32gb Sandisk ultra and is still running like a champ. Im even running the ExtSd2InternalSd mod which makes my phones runs is internal memory off my 32gb memory card. its $23 on amazon

I have a 32 gig card I bought from micro center and it works great for $20.

Get the samsung! I have personally used both samsung and sandisk, and maybe i was unfortunate that the sandisk was corrupted but the samsung is still working fine considering i got both around the same time.

Hmm on the other hand there are a lot of users that are happy with C10 cards. Maybe they fail after an extended period of time?
Thanks for the feedback guys,

To be honest, I am currently using a 16GB transcend class 4 on my S3 and i'm quite happy with it.
From what i gathered when purchasing my memory card, class 10 mem cards are better with DSLRs where write speed is very important.
