What brand of Class 6 SD card should I buy? I see TOPRAM, Transcend, and Nokia but not popular ones like Kingston and Sandisk..
According to this it says Class 2 SD cards might as well be as good as Class 6.
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/1468705.html
Class 2's performance-price ratio might be higher than Class 6. But only considering performance, I prefer Class 6.
I have a transcend Class 6, 8gb I got for $20 online and it works perfect.
Class 6...meh...you need 16gb Kingston Class 10. That is if your device can handle it.
~Jasecloud4
lol i have a mytouch 3g right now..don't think my device can handle it
I am also looking for a 16 gb class 6 sd card but don't wanna pay an arm and leg for. Any recommendations?

Thanks for the link. Is this the sd card you decided to get? If so, how is it so far?
Nah I haven't gotten one yet. I think Im going to buy a mytouch slide before I decide to buy an SD card. My Mytouch isn't too powerful to begin with.
Consider that the Sandisk cards may have a longer lifespan and be more reliable, which is a major plus point if you're going to be using the camera to take pictures of sentimental value.

I thought it was hilarious. You need to relax.
Anyways, I haven't read all that great of reviews on the kingston class 10's. And for 100.00, I can get 2 of the adata class 6 16gb. I think I will pick 1 of those up next time newegg has them instock.
The 16gb sandisk class 2 that comes in the hd2 can drag the phone down if you don't format it once in a while.

That's why you transfer the pics to your computer and then upload them to the cloud backup services of your choice. (I use Sugarsync)

Is this really worth the extra ~10$ ish than the sandisk 16gb? From reviews I have read the, average read/write speed on the sandisk CL2 is about 6.5MB/s which is what the CL6 is "rated for"

yes you are right!!!
I have a question for anyone well informed on SDHC class ratings.
I have been leaning towards purchasing a 32gb microsd card for my adam. My question is–would a class 10 be worth the extra $40-50 compared to a lower class?
The main pro i have seen spoken of is the rate of transfer is greatly increased with the higher class rating. Other than that what would a basic music listener, e-book reader, or movie viewer gain from a higher class?
I’m used to going out and getting the best there is only to be faced with the fact that the best at the moment is not always the best for me or my pocket book… lol

Sounds like you could use a real answer. The things that you want to do with it when you are already loaded up and using it will not make a difference. But if you were to make a backup of that 32gb card at a class 2 you will be waiting a LONG time. You should at least get a class 4 and shoot for a 6. Not sure they have a 6 for the 32gb yet but they have a 4.
Thanks for the answer. That's what i figured would be the issue

I was not trying to be an ass sorry it came off that way
Looks like lexar just released the class 10 today so I was wrong. Using the card on the phone you will not see much difference. The difference will be when you are trying to use it on your computer like chogardjr said. And even when it is mounted to your computer with your phone you will not see the full performance from it but you should still see a good boost of speed from it.
Personally I would pick speed over size every time, my 16 has been full for awhile but I'm waiting for real class 6/10 32gbs to drop before buying a bigger one.
There are a few card makers out there who will straight up lie about it though so be weary of them.... dont even bother looking on ebay.

I concur. For the average consumers use a class 6 is ideal. It's a great balance of cost and speed.
My personal opinion, only camcorders and cameras with rapid shot capabilities will benefit from a class 10 or higher at this point. Yes, you can copy your mp3s to and from it faster... but how often are you pressed for time when you're doing that operation? My guess would be not often. (For me that's a "I'm home for the night" operation, so it can take as long as it needs)
Thanks for the insight once again fellas. I found a 32gb class 4 on amazon.com for $64.99 it's made by dane. Up until just recently I have never heard of the company but when school started last semester I bought a few 8gb usb sticks made by the same company.....(think I purchased them from target rather cheap) nonetheless I was extremely happy with the performance from a budget flash drive so I took a dive at it.
I'm anticipating the excitement off inserting it into my new Notion Ink "Adam" when it arrives later this month.... Santa came late this year.
Hopefully it will live up to all the buzz just as the Evo did. I've always been first to dive head first into gadget hype. Never has it lived up to the excitement #facepalm (palm pre) until the Evo. Now hopefully the "Adam" will do the same.

on ebay they just send another one to not get bad feedback and most likely send the right one or refund the money back and then you get a free sd card out of it

This is assuming there is a problem on eBay. Ive bought several products on eBay and have NEVER had a problem. You just have to know how to buy.
My problem is now knowing which to buy as I just know a few and only the Topram one is avaliable on eBay.
If you're using this for a phone, you may not want a class 10. A class 2 or 4 Sandisk may be better for you. Depends what you're using it for.
Class 10 gives fast sequential speeds, but it usually sacrifices random read, write and access speeds. I could go into the reason why this happens, but I've posted several times about that, so you can check my previous posts for that.
Class 10 is good for digital cameras or other things where sequential speed is important and random speeds aren't important. If you're using the card to run apps off of, or system files for Android, or any OS actually, or using it for WP7, or anything that will need sequential speeds and fast access times, class 10s are slower than good quality class 2 or 4 cards like Sandisk.
Higher class DOES NOT mean better or faster for everything. Class only refers to sequential write speed. Different types of cards are better and faster for different tasks. Class 10s will many times slow down or cause lag in phones, depending on how the phone uses it. Sandisk class 2 and 4 cards I have found to be the best all around cards for phones.

Thanks for the explanation but I knew most of this information
The reason I want a Class 10 is that pictures are taken/saved alot faster. Thats pretty much the only reason.
A additional plus is that transfering media thru the cable is also faster.
Ok, well those are probably the 2 biggest reasons to use class 10... using with digital camera and fast transfer speed.
I just wanted to make sure you were getting the right card for what you were using it for. The majority of people seem to basicly think that higher class = better automatically, and don't understand different cards are better for different purposes.

Basically, stay away from the cheap eBay auctions for them. You'll often get a fake-brand claiming to be SanDisk, but it's really not.
Stick with legit SanDisk or Transcend.
Amazon and Newegg have had some good deals.
AData has a true class 10 speed with 32GB. I use it on my Cowon J3 music player. It's very fast, faster than the Lexar Class 10 that I have.

I'm curious: where would we see the advantage of a Class 10 card on our phones? Outside of copying files to/from them faster, I'm not sure there's anything we're doing on them that would benefit from it. Anything concrete anyone can suggest that I'm not thinking of? The photos aren't anywhere high-res enough to require it, and the camera's not capable of taking them in a fast enough burst mode to need it, and I'm assuming even the 1080p video capture doesn't need it or Samsung would have had an * in their advertising to let us know. So that leaves me to assume I could probably save some money on a lower class and be just as happy...

Transcend cards are great. I use them in my dslr when i film. I can not be let down when im in the middle of a production.
Class 6-class 10 will be good enough for the phone. A class 6 16gb I've read has the best overall speeds
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Class 6 will do just fine. The extra expense of the Class 10 is not worth it right now. As a previous poster hinted to, the phone does not do anything fast enough to take advantage of the full Class 10 speeds.
It might help for initial file transfers if you transfer Movies to it or something like that, but how often do you really do that?

Okay Thanks... should be easier to find that lol. But I don't, I just like the best of the best p
I have also looked around the net quite a bit regarding this issue (is how I came to my conclusion above). One more thing I would like to add is to make sure you buy Retail or from a known good supplier to be safe ... like Newegg... not Ebay or Amazon.
Most quality brand name cards will perform their benchmark tests at or above their ratings. This is why Class 6 is good enough for our uses right now until something better than 10 drops and pushes the 10's down in price. (Look to the future whenever you can get a deal)
Here is Sandisk's information on classes:
http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/d...speed-ratings-(performance)-for-sd/sdhc-cards
I doubt the cameras on our phones are recording at more than 6MB/s.
I would love to see some stats on this though.. you know, in case I'm wrong.

Sighs, Just might have to drink some wine to help with the pain. Letstalk SUCKS!
It speeds up everything. Application manager loads faster, faster scan at startup, apps in microsd will load faster, transfering/copying files from or to pc/internal memory, ect...
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.
