OK I thought I had figured out which SD card was best for the Inc2. I thought it was as simple as just getting a 32GB card but apparently there are different "classes". Can it also be said that the higher class number the better?

Yes and no. A higher class offers better speeds, but the highest class (class 10) can be potentially harmful to your device. The app boot manager from the market (go look at it for more info on what it does) recommends a class 6 or higher, so I personally have been looking for a class 6. That's where I'd start looking if I were you

I am using 32g class 10 . The brand name is pny.and i dont have any with so far.
Thanks for the responses. They were very helpful. I found a 32GB Class 4 card for 30 bucks which I think I may give a try.

What is the best "class" of SDHC card for the Atrix?
I am sure Class 10 would be best, but if there is no performance benefit I would get a Class 4.
So, does anyone have performance benchmarks of different class cards in the Atrix?
Thanks!
My class 4 works with no issues
What is the recommended Micro SDHC Class for Atrix?
Even though it may support class 10, it might not be able to take complete advantage of it. Does anyone know if it results in significant performance gain over a class 6 or even a class 4 SDHC ? Links to articles from respected blogs/websites would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

+1 Don't waste too money on getting a class 10. Hardly any noticeable difference u'd find. Class 4 should work pretty good.
it may not make a huge difference while it is in the phone but if you take it out to load and unload data it will make a difference there....
How would class 4 be for HD recording?
Thanks
Newegg has some for under 40

Exactly! It is for this reason I prefer faster write speeds. Cheers.
provantage had lexar 32gb c10 on sale for 75 (82 shipped) a week ago, picked it up since it was 90+ everywhere else. no big difference from that and the old c6 i had that i have really noticed while in the phone. not a big fan of the adapter that came with it.
I just got my T'bolt yesterday and it came with a Class 4 32GB and I just bought a Class 10 32GB for my Droid that I never got to put in it because the Droid crapped out before I could put it in. Has anyone upgraded their Class4 for a Class 10 in the T'bolt yet? If so, is it worth doing? I was going to go ahead and put it in if there is a significant difference, if there isn't I'm going to sell the card to a girl with an EVO here at work that didn't get a card with it.
Thanks

The Class 10 will make a difference in terms of reading and writting data on and off the card.It will be much faster
Much faster, but class 4 isn't bad, and you have to ask yourself how often will you be transfering large enough amounts of data to notice a difference.

Yeah not bad at all I transfer music and roms at large amounts and it doesn't lag, but I do wonder how much faster a class 10 would be. There is an app on the market that could do this would you care to test for us?

Fixed that for ya.
I have the lexar class 10 and I love it. Write speeds are around 12mbs and read is 25mbs. I got those numbers using the app call sd tools. It was well worth the money

VirusROM RC1B2
The class 10 (mine is Patriot) is noticeably faster. Things like Titanium full back up finish much quicker, etc...

Thanks guys, I think I'm going to use the Class 10 and sell the class 4. I meant to check back earlier but it's been a crazy week. So far I've loved the T'bolt. Don't think I'll do a root on it just yet though.

In comparison my class 4 card that comes with the thunderbolt is writing @ 5mbs and reading @ 20mbs using sdtools
Great deal on www.1saleaday.com ....$29.99 + $5 for shipping ~= $35
its only a class 4 so not the best but for anyone who needs a lot of storage on their phone/tablet, its a great deal! Get it while you can ....its only good for 1 day.
Yeah I'm getting one of these.
Anyone know what is the fastest and largest SD that will work with our phones?
32 gb is the biggest right now, class 10 would be the fastest.

Actually that's incorrect I found out the other day. Sandisk has released a 64gb microsdxc card that has apparently been found to be compatible with the sgs2.
Copy pasta:
Class 4 or Class 10? Depend upon what you want it for
Class 2 and 4 cards have better random access speed and random read/write than class 6 or 10 cards in general. To get higher sequential write speeds, manufacturers sacrifice the random access speeds. That's just how it is.

So if you want to use the microSDHC card for photos, music, or video, then you may be better off with a class 10 card. If you want it for Readyboost, smart phone, Nook Color running Android OS, or other device that requires fast, ramdom access, then you should buy a Class 2 or 4 Sandisk flash card.

I picked up 3 sanDisk 32gb class 4 cards on amazon the other night for $16.40 a piece. I thought I would never see them and would end up getting a refund, but they showed up two days later. They were sold out from that seller (he had 20) within minutes. Right time at the right place i guess.

Nice thanks.
Also might be worth adding that it's a Class 4 microSD card, which tbh isn't going to cut it for a full fledged 32GB imo at least, but good find indeed.

Best I've found for a class 10 is:
Class 10 32GB MicroSD memory card.
yikes, it's already sold out!
That cheap class 10 komputerbay on amazon has pretty bad reviews. If you stalk ebay for a few days you can find a 32gb memory card in the low 20s. I got a 16gb sandisk for $6.50 its a class 2 but speeds are almost 6. Good enough for music and random files.

They are also more stable for phone apps and cameras.
GS2 doesn't need them. Just get a 32 gig class 4 for your music and backups. Use the onboard storage for apps and camera. Onboard is way faster than a class 10.

Hey everyone,
I'm thinking of getting a 32 microsd. Card for my S3. I was wondering if a class 10 is necessary or would a class 4 or 6 be sufficient?
Thanks.
Class 6 is sufficent I read somewhere that class 10 is good for taking pictures or something but for this phone class 6 is enough.
It depends on what you'll be doing. Personally, I'd go for a UHS-1 class card. They're just above class 10. Sandisk has a 32GB one for about $40 on Newegg.com. That's what I'm using right now. It has been awesome thus far.
uhs are useless for this phone, no phone on the market supports this feature.
just get the best you can afford, anything above class 4 is enough, but prices aren't much different, so a class 6 or 10 can be in reach.

That might be the case on the international version, but when I'm taking pictures my UHS card it certainly seems to record them faster on my US - AT&T version. I wonder if anyone has done any any read/ write benchmarks to see for sure.
But I do agree, unless you have a need for speed, anything over class 4 should be good for everyday use.

i standby what i said, no phone supports uhs, unless you can prove otherwise.
What about if you use it as USB mass storage? Or making backups
of it? Or it's still limited even though that?
i personally have about 10 class 10 16gbs, and around 12 class 10 32gb, and 4 class 6 64gbs. granted i use only 3 or 4 of them i just have a alot extra. i sued to work at best buy mobile and came up on a lot. couple months ago best buy sold a class 6 64gb online for $45. keep an eye out and look for deals. i do see a big difference in the class of cards. i usually have music and various roms and what not.
What about playing roms saved on sd cards would you notice a difference between class 6 and 10

it's not the card, it's the phone thats preventing the card to reach the limit.
a class 4-10 will work on the s3, you won't notice much of a differences.
---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------
if you want the fastest card on the market, but not for the S3, you only choice is the sandisk microsdhc extreme pro with upto 95mb/s transfer speed and only available so far 8GB and 16Gb.
or you can consider the adata microsdhc premier pro read 45mb/s and write 40mb/s available in 8gb, 16gb and 32gb.
as with both cards you need a uhs reader to reach the stated speed, otherwise you will only get max read 25mb/s and write 23mb/s which is the standard speed set for sdhc.
Class 6 is the sweet spot
Class 4 should be sufficient enough for normal phone use tho?
unless you are using DSLR perhaps?

Its not exactly a common brand like sandisk though..
class 4 has faster ram, class 10 has faster sequential write speeds
class 4 is better for every day, random use
class 10 is better for downloads and recording/playback of large files and HD movies
