Need a good memory card

I want to max out the memory with a 32gb SDHC. Anyone have any suggestions?

The SanDisk 32GB is very good,
it performs higher than stated with regards to class and obviously is a highly reliable make.

Another vote here for sandisk, havent actually tried their 32GB, but every other card i've had from them has been faultless.
Most important thing w.r.t. memory cards IMO, is to buy from a reliable source. Ebay is rife with fakes.

Arc can handle up to class 6?
Or i shall order a class 8 or 10.
When i bought arc i had in the case a 16gb sdhc card, but i want a faster one

someone was able to get between 6.00 to 6.79 MB/s on his Class 6 16GB MicroSD, but that was on an X10. you might get similar results on the Arc.

just got a lexar 32gb class 10 card from amazon (solutek) works great , faster than standard card supplied with arc

I guess I'll try the Sandisk, much appreciated guys. Now I just need this phone to be shipped.

I Bought a Sandisk Class 4 32GB and it works fine for me.
The data transfer to the card seems faster when I take it out of the phone.

I was thinking of getting Lexar MicroSDHC 32 GB Class 10 from amazon for my arc so anyone have it already and how is it? cus i didn't see any sandisk microsd have class 10 32Gb.

I've used the original Sandisk MicroSd 8 Gb (Class 2) and a Class 6 variant... When you copy big numbers of mp3 or movies to the phone, it really makes a difference. Example: with a Class 2 it takes about up to 1 or more hours to transfer 1 Gb - a Class 6 does the job in less then 5 minutes...! But if you want to buy a good rated SD because of the HD-camera, then Class 2 should be high enough (according to the experts). Any higher only helps if you transfer data a lot/often (like changing your musiccollection on the Arc).

i'm on 32gb class10 Lexar, so far so good

+1 for The lexar class 10. Very good !!! The best solution with The sandisk class 4.

I bought a Kingstone 16GB Class 4, at first it was impressive but now it jams when shoot a video a lot.
speed of the memory:

btw, if anyone spots a good micro sd 16gb class 6 or higher please inform me.

I become a 16GB Class 2 Card but this card was wrong, the write speed is 3Mb/s, then I bought a new 16GB Class 10 Card. This card speed: 11.3/20.9 (write/read) the i am happy The maked HD video is better and the frame rate is really 30fps
UPDATE: The card worked much data disappeared from him then until 5 days. The next day the telephone did not see the card already though. F***ing noname card! Nobody let me not buy it trademarkless card!

Which micro sd card do you suggest to buy?

hey
Which card should i buy?
Which class is the internal memory?
Do i need class 10 card?
thnks.

I have a 16 gig class ten and it made no difference on my N1 compared to the stock class 4 card as far as performance goes with apps2sd and the like during operation. It also made no difference transferring files to or from the sd while in the phone. It is much faster if you take it out and plug it into the laptop though. I'm not sure if that limitation applied to the N1 alone or is common with this one. I was thinking of getting a 32 gig because then I could carry all my music and wouldnt have to hassle with it as the internal storage is enough for all my other uses. Knowing what I know now I will likely go with a name brand class 4 card. Too many horror stories with fake cards and my own experience is that the extra speed from class 10s doesnt do much of anything in my usage.
If you do a search you will find several recent threads on SD cards....

You don't need class 10! because this is not a super professional camera. Class 4 is enough (in some case even class 2 is enough 'cause some people say that class 2 speed of some manufacturers is faster then class 4 of other ones).
I have ordered SanDisk class 4 32gb and still wating for delivery...
Choose only good manufacturers, such as: SanDisk/Trancerd/Kingston/A-Data (and before doing an order, check on their official website (and google a lil' bit) if the particular class exist - for example if you will see class 2, 6 or 8 of Kingston on ebay, know that it's a fake since kingston has only 4 and 10 classes according to their website)

I don't know if this is only in the Netherlands but here its possible to get a 8GB micro sd for FREE from Samsung when you registrate your purchase on the samsung site. (only condition is that you buy your device before the end of may)

On my camera I've had issues when recording hd quality movies in anything less than a class 6.
So I'm going for class 6 or above on phone

Which card did you get? Im looking for the cheapest sandsik 32 gb right now, sandisk's are underrated. a class 2 can be faster than a other brand class 4 or 6.

if you google "SD class speeds " the second link down (this is applicable to micro sd as well gents)
it will show you what class you will need for what application eg recording 1080p on your phone will require a class 4 minimum however class 6 is "moar" recommended
however as stated above class 10 isnt needed and if you read a few reviews some class 6 in the case of sandisk e.g. the sandisk extreme class 6 III is faster than some cheapo class 10.

Hahaha, im not French, just on an internship here. And it is not relevant indeed. Thanks anyway!
And you probably paid a lot for it, Denmark is so expansive. I actually was in Viborg(nice little city) last year, did a little road trip when I came back from Sweden. (lived there for a while) Anyway, ill browse some french sites and ebay.

If i buy class 4 card, do the FHD video capture would work without aproblem or lags?
The GS2 know how to use class 10 sd card??
thnks

micro SDHC class
so, can somebody please confirm that class 4 micro SDHC card (good brand) is enough for taking videos on GS2? I am looking at 32GB and it seems there is a shortage of class 10 cards in my country, should I buy class 4?

I believe the semi official numbers for 1080P recording on the SGSII is 17Mbps? That means a bit more than 2MB per second. 'Class' refers to how many MB's the card can write each second, so class 4 should be fine for 1080P, as well as many class 2 cards. But of course faster is always better

I bought a class 2 32 gb from amazon.it...
Can you suggest me a program / tool to test its speed?
Anyway, I used it to record a full hd video for 15 mins. I watched it entirely and I didn't notice any skipped frame or stucks etc.. It runs fine

Just plug in to a pc and copy a large file. That will show you the speed.

Have a look for h2testw Version 1.4. It's a free utility that will test capacity and speed. As you may know, the problem with lots of card on sale is that they have been hacked to make it appear that they have a greater capacity than they actually have. It can be sometimes hard to spot but h2testw (and, no doubt, others like it) will do proper checks.

im after a good 32gb card anyone has any trusted sellers (internationally shipping) would like to share
or ship to Australia.

Is class 10 SD card necessary?

From what I understand I would need the class 10 card if I want to record HD video. If I am not going to record video can I get away with class 4?
Thanks for any help!

You do not need a class 10 to record HD Video, a class 4 does the job perfectly well. I had a 32GB class 4 sandisk and it was fine.

I've heard that for smartphones, Class 10 is even worse than lower classes.
That's because class 10 has fast block reading speeding. The problem is that it comes at a price of slow random access reading. If you want to play high bitrate movies from the SD card, higher class will be better for sure. However for day-to-day usage, lower class might make the phone feel faster.

class 4 is good enough for video recording.
iirc, 1080p video on the note is recorded at a bitrate of around 17mbps or so. convert that from bits to bytes and its something like 2.125mb/s minimum required to record videos at 1080p. so anything higher than a class 2 should be fine for playback and recording (unless you encode at a silly bitrate).
the only time i could see anyone really needing the faster class speed would be if you wanted to take 8mp shots in rapid succession. depending on the colour tone of the image you intend to take, the file size can go up to 3mb. at that point, your photos per second will be limited by the speed of your memory card. ie. class 4 = 1 photo per second, class 6 = 2 photos per second, class 10 = 3 photos per second maximum.

Be careful in stores. Went to best buy last night for SD card. Class 4 cards only in phone section but at class 10 price from camera section. Also shelf had classes mixed up only sorted by gb. So pay attention to what your getting

Whelp, I know that my bullcrap cheapo Lexar "class 10" wont allow me to record to it directly.
Man.. I'm pissed. time to look for a new one.

Hope a Samsung 32GB c10 I am thinking of buying will be ok on a SAMSUNG device...

microSD Class 10
What about if you will move (apps2SD) games like Sentinel (TD game) in the microSD, is it necessary to go for c10?
I'm confused on what to buy, c4 or c10.
Need your help!

For me it is. copying movies from PC to my SD card is just painful on class4.
I see that some good class10 cards can write at 20mb/s (sequential), which is 5 times as fast as my current class4 sandisk (4.1mb/s).
The only thing that is holding me back is the price. Once the price comes down a bit ill definitely grab a c10 kingston 32gb.

What about for games you move to your external sd card? Will performance decrease with a c4? Much better with c10?
What can you say about the Ridata 32gb class 10? Is it any good compared to transcend or kingston or sandisk?

Dont know about games, I doubt c10 will make a difference at all....but dont mark my words
As for brand you should look at the particular model rather than judging by just the brand. For instance the sandisk mobile ultra (class 4) beats many of the other class10 cards

I managed to get a class 10 32 gig for about £25. Currently they are very cheap so it might be worth getting it either way.

When I switched from a class4 32GB sandisk to a class10 32GB Lexar, I noticed the smartphone working faster and snappier, probably APP2SD in gingerbread and pictures and videos in the gallery has something to do with that change in response.
In my experience with memory cards and professional equipment, not only we shall choose for class ratings, but also for trusted brands, like sandisk, lexar and transcend.
To sum up, class10 is better than class4, and if the diference in price is not very high, totally worth it, but, there is a lot more difference in daily use between a galaxy note and a HTC Desire.

Class 10 is for marketing, it's totally not needed for smartphone with internal memcard.

You might want to read this thread on why class 4 is better suited for smartphone use.

[Q] fastest 64gb card for note 2

hi everyone.
im looking to get the new note 2 and would like some suggestions for a the sd card preferbly 64gb one.
i have looked on some sites like memoryc for ideas but would like suggestions..
the prices ive seen listed are all within my budget so need a compatible fastest if possible 64gb card and which brands are the best? is sandisk still a good choice as i have seen samsung bringing out a new range and they are usually cutting edge last time i remembered.
for example is the new format compatable microSDXC??
"64GB Sandisk microSDXC CL6 Mobile Ultra memory card"
thankyou.
rhino"

fastest card is sandisk extreme pro, but ur phone wont be able to use those speeds, plus its expensive. My suggestion is the sandisk mobile ultra, best bang for the buck.

I'm sure it's a similiar issue as it is with cameras.
Someone needs to do a sd card speed test to see what the read/write speed limit of the note 2's hardware is.
It's probably way under the speed of that SD card.
However, getting a faster card means you can transfer stuff on/off of the card a lot faster through your PC.
This is useful for copying movies on (or for cameras, copying off tons of pictures).

ill be using it for HD 720p movies + HD Video rec and photos too thats why i wanted speed for writing and copy from pc and for good rec/playback.
so ill stick to this then 64GB Sandisk microSDXC CL6 Mobile Ultra its a good price and should be good for what i need at 30MB/sec
thanks again

by the way i just noticed theres 2 which is the better as i read cl6 cl10 thinking it was like memory with cas speeds lower being better?

No!!!! CL = class, and higher should mean better.
CLX means the card is guaranted to read/write at X meg/second.
However, people have found that higher quality memory cards exceed their class numbers,so YMMV.

fixed.
Class 2 means minimum write speed of 2MB/s.
Class 10 means minimum write speed of 10MB/s
read speed can still be varied. It's also possible also to get class 6 card that write at 8MB/s, it just happen to guarantee at 6MB/s. Also I have seen like Class 10 SDXC(not micro) that can read at 40+ MB/s. I would read review at amazon and newegg to get the general idea b4 buying on.

The best one is the one which is real, considering probably half of these cards above on Amazon and eBay are fake I would personally stick with SanDisk since they have the best support.
