Hi everybody !
I'm a new XDA user and i have been reading a lot on this forum and it is very helpful !!
I was wondering if this little beast (wildfire s) is able to take advantage of the different speedclass of the sdhc (class 4/6/10/ even more)
I tought maybe we could start a thread were you guys tell us what is youre sd card (type, model, size) and what is your speed result in Antutu Benchmark
So here is my result :
Kingston MicroSDHC
Class 4
16 GB
Antutu Benchmark :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So :
Write : 4.7 mb/s
Read : 14.7 mb/s
Now whats yours ?
p.s. Sorry for my english ....
Hi,
so now have the MicroSDHC Samsung 32 GB Class 10th.
As info CrystalDiskMark has the 4K QD32 somehow made problems. This is the Programme, as is already handled this error on the homepage of the program!
Now for the tests:
Status of the memory card (already described)
Samsung 2GB (for delivery) (PC)
Samsung 32GB Class 10 (PC)
Samsung 2GB (for delivery) (the HTC Wildfire S)
Samsung 32GB Class 10 (in HTC Wilfire S)
Antutu Benchmark:
SD card write: 8,7 MB/s
SD card read: 17,0 MB/s
But I wonder why the write speed is so low in the phone? The controller does not get more out?
Anyone here has any experience with SD Speed Increase App?

ok , i didnt know it made a huge difference between ROM and settings, like i said , im new in to that ...
in reality i was wondering if that phone would be able to take advantage of cards like this : http://www.sandisk.com/products/mobile1-memory-products/ultra-microsdhc-memory-card
thats why i was asking everybody result depeding on the card they use .... it would give me an idea

Some reading to help out.
It's just hard to gauge.
Switching between noop to bfq i/o scheduling ups my write speed from 5.6 to 11.2 MB/s
It's a little variable. One thing we are seeing here though is things topping out around 17MB/s reading across the board.
Here goes my last Antutu benchmark.
I use a Samsung "Essentials" 16GB Class 6 card now. Used performance, noop for testing.
This one works with Data2SD while my previous Kingston 8GB Class 4 didn't.

IMHO that's a bit high for a class 4 card. I'm not saying that you made these numbers up. It's just a good policy to post screenshots of benchmarks.

Currently have a Class 4 card, would a Class 8 card give any speed increase? Does it really pay off to upgrade to a higher class card?
my english that bad or does nobody have a answer?
would a upgrade to class 6 make any difference? (8gb sdhc class 4 to 8gb sdhc class 8)

Normaly it would be faster a class 8 but the artemis will not be any faster. It will not get the max speed of the card.
exactly speed might be a point for digital camera or sdhc card reader, not for PDA. Same for example as with mine 4GB SD 150x in Universal - no diff. in transfer rates between 66x SDcard and 150x. There is max. transfer rate of the mboard - i doubt it can be oveclocked. So if U dont need to transfer helluva lot of datas on daily basis thru SDHC card reader.....better to save some money for beer

Now i'm confused... max throughput of pda = 150x? then i should get a card that can handle that speed, right?
IOW: What is the max throughput of the phone?
I was speaking about classic SD cards (transfer rates are as multiple of ??default speed??) But there is no change in data throughput in device (and same with SDHC) simply transfer speeds are exactly same w/o connection to class or speed of the card in PDA-other thing is card reader. As i wrote above - if u dont need to transfer large amounts of data from PC... no need to have class8
the 8G sandisk card apparently dosnt read as fast as lower class devices. but as someone said the phone isnt at top speed like its wifi being 11mb b not G.
I have a Sandisk 8Gb microSDHC Class 4 in my Artemis ( WM6 touchflo 4 cube ROM) I store all my non ROM programs & files from the card & all video etc is of course stored on the card.
Cant say I noticed any lag vs smaller 2Gb Sandisk microSD card. I tried loading video on Device Memory to see if it played better & it didnt .

the original p330 don't read the micro SDHD only the SD type. You have to install a cab that enable the p3300 to read the SDHD, then soft reset. I do in mine and all works fine
Use a tool to format your storage card properly, that increases the speed a lot more. 66x card should be fast enough.
Change the cluster size from 512 Bytes to 4 KB or higher. Note that you will lose free space because every file is at least 4 KB big, even if it's just 1 byte in size.
If you don't have lots of small files this is a good option. My card is now three times faster but I lost about 1 GB of free space.
I'm wanting to get a new memory card, preferably 32gb but I'm unsure which company to go for.
So it'll be helpful if you could benchmark your own memory cards with SDTools and also include class and manufacturer ( I find that different benchmark apps produce different results)
Without SD-Booster (Which btw is very effective)
Currently mine is a Samsung 16GB Micro SDHC Card - Class 10
Write : 12.3MB/s
Read : 21.5MB/s
Was messing around with the SD-Booster, and my read speed now is 28.5MB/s at 4096kb cache

I am running with a Samsung 32GB Micro SCHC Card - Class 10
the benchmark would be like the 16GB you have. with SD-Speed Increase it is even a little better (I think, haven't tested it). I can recommend the 32GB Class 10, so far great speed and no complaints =)
Patriot 32GB Class 10:
Write: 8-10MB/s according to the app, when I copy stuff from my pc to the phone it goes to 13.7MB/s or even more with big files
Read: 16-28MB/s according to thr app
But there are ~27.5GB data on it which might slow things down a bit

Hmm Quite Good
Strontium 16GB Class 10
I have there class 10 32 GB SDHC cards - one from my old t-bolt the one in my gfs SG II and the one in my note.
I ran a bench on my PNY and sure enough it did not come near class 10.
So I got all three togehter - backed them up - did a full fat 32 format (not quick) on win 7 and tested all three. On the pc and in the note -
PC Via ATTO
Note via antutu
Of the three brands I had Lexar, PNY and Sandisk - all three supposed to be class 10.
Only the lexar - which was sitting in my unused t-bolt - actually ran class 10 posting 13.6 MB/s writes and 22 MB/s reads..
The others not so much - both the Sandisk and PNY barely managed class 6 writes....
makes me happy for having a 32gb lexar class 10 card then
Just got a sandisk uhs-1 32GB not any faster than my class 10. dissapointed again.

that is not true at all - uhs-1 is 50-70 mb/s in uhs-1 supported devices which Samsung has said the note does support.
testing some more - added in samsung class 6 16 gb I got cheap at microcenter on sale.
Ummm. wow. The class 6 samsung runs as fast as any class 10 or uhs-1 I have tested. Faster in fact than everything but the lexar. Just shy of 11 mb/sec writes in my note and 27.1 mb reads - fast enough for hd video recording. I may order a class 10 sammy to see what it can do!
just ran it through Crystal Disk Mark - here is the results - again this is a cheaper class 6 card

Antutu benchmark has a built in file read/write test.
On antutu my n7000 gets I think 10Mb/sec write and 22MB/sec reads
My 2.5 year old class 6 16GB uSD card gets 4.5MB writes and 14MB reads in the note.
sd tools from the market as well will test your sd card. I do a full format before I test though. Framentation and data can affect your results.

Because it's not true: UHS-1 does not equate to Class 10.
On a device that supports UHS-1, it will be very much faster than Class 10.
On a device that does not support UHS, it won't.
This card looks like it is a legit deal. They are sold on Amazon and on eBay for around $22-30 bucks.

It has around 29.7gb space available (which is about right), tested with h2testw and verified.
But when you get to measure its speed: It cannot even reach 7 mb/s writing speed. I emailed the seller and he agreed to refund 30% of the cost. See the attached image.

Class of SD card means the minimum amount of mb per second it can write. Class 10 card should write at least 10 mb per second. Class 6 - at least 6mb per second. And so on.
@ sinbot: They will refund me $7. In this case I bought 32gb Class 6 card for $14 bucks

a few Class 10 microSD cards can reach 12+ speeds in our phone
Try not to buy from amazon or eBay. I bought a sandisk 64gb class 10 that looked legit and it was fake.
Always buy from reputable sites such as newegg.com or any recommended suppliers from sandisk site if u want a 64 gb sandisk.

The company doesn’t reveal maximum read and write speed, but we will test out both the read
and write speed of the card. How good is the card? Let us find out in the complete review.
Several top-end and mid-range smartphones now support 128GB microSD cards. Even low-end
Lumia devices support 128GB cards, according to Microsoft. We tested this card from the top-end
Galaxy Note 4, Note Edge, HTC One M8 to mid-range Samsung Galaxy A5, Galaxy A3 and several
other smartphones, which worked fine without any issues. We also tried it on the Moto G (2nd
Gen), but it did not work since it supports microSD card only up to 32GB.
Here are some benchmarks to show how this card performs.

Sequential read speed was around 87 MB/s and write speed was around 30 MB/s in the
CrystalDiskMark benchmark using USB 3.0. Using 2.0 you get sequential read speed of 35 MB/s
and write speed of about 23 MB/s. As you can see, you get 118GB of usable space in the 128GB
card.
Read Speed measured using HD Tach – USB 3.0
Read Speed measured using HD Tach – USB 2.0
Read speed was steady at 80 MB/s using USB 3.0 in HD Tach. Using USB 2.0 connection, it was
steady at 35 MB/s. Both these tests make it clear that using a card reader with USB 3.0 support
lets you transfer data faster between your PC and the card. Data transfer speed will be different
when you are using it in a smartphone. Let us check the transfer speed of the card in a phone.
Read and Write speed using A1 SD Bench for Android
The read speed was around 53.9 MB/s and the write speed was around 10 MB/s with the A1 SD
Bench app for Android. Some testing apps like SD tools and SD Card Tester did not work and
showed errors, hence we could not test the speed using those apps.
Conclusion
The Kingston 128GB Class 10 microSD XC card offered impressive and steady write speed and
read speed for a UHS-I U1. We have come a long way in expansion memory. Few years back
512MB and 1GB cards were the top-en, now we have 128GB cards. Since we now have
smartphones that is capable of recording 4K videos, which takes of several GBs of space for a
few minute video, having a 128GB card handy lets you store several hours of 4K videos. Having a
memory card slot in your smartphone is always useful if you play more games in your smartphone
or store a lot of media content, and if it supports 128GB microSD cards, it would be even better.
Main thing you should notice about the 128GB cards is the compatibility. Check the official
smartphone or tablet maker’s website to find out if your device supports 128GB cards. Even
though most latest mid to high-end devices do, some smartphones only supports maximum 32GB
or 64GB cards. The Kingston 128GB SD card is available for $99.99 in the U.S. Kingston also introduced high capacity UHS-I
U3 microSDXC cards few months back. We will be reviewing the Kingston 64GB UHS-I U3
microSDXC card soon, which offers 90MB/s read and 80MB/s write speed.
