[Q] About SD Card

Hello
I got my Legend about 2 months ago, and I have a big problem with storage space...
What is the biggest sized SD card the Legend can use?
What is the type of SD card (micro, mini, etc...)
What is SD card class?
Thank you very much

microSD compliant with SD2.0 Standard (aka microSDHC)
The biggest size available currently is 32GB.
I don't know if even more is possible with microSDHC or if bigger cards will only be possible with SD3.0 (aka SDXC) but that question is not relevant as you can't buy any greater then 32GB yet.
The Class of the SDCard is a measurement for guaranteed minimum speed in random read/write.
The Class does not provide any information about real-world speed or max speed.
For your mobile phone the class is a pretty useless criterion as you don't need any guaranteed minimum speeds but good overall speeds ESPECIALLY sequential.
The guaranteed minimum speed is important for HD Video Cameras for example where you write data all the time at a given speed (resolution).

thanks.
but I DO need class with high speed because I want to use Data2Ext...

Don't pick uSD card based on class !! class tels you MB/s for sequential write only... you need a card that is overall fast, I had 16GB class 10 Kingston and data2ext was just horrible!
Now I'm with class 4 Sandisk mobile ultra and it is in fact faster in every test I ran...
So read reviews before you buy

ye but that is exactly why im asking...

well then, I recommend sandisk mobile ultra as I have it and it is OK, there are probably faster cards...just see the small files read / write speeds in reviews those are of greatest importance

i purchased a kingston 8GB class 4 which crapped out. android kept reported sdcard unexpectedly removed. tried all sorts (formatting in windows, android, quick, long, etc).
RMA replacement did exactly the same, so i'm guessing kingston class 4's are best avoided.

If I recall correctly I have a 16GB microSDHC Class 4 card. After applying data2ext with this card, my Quadrant scores hit around 1500, which is crazy.
This is where I found my card: http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-16G...P06K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1298984123&sr=8-1
I personally recommend this card.

class 6 is better , but class 10 is even better

I've got a Sandisk Ultra Mobile 16gb SDHC which works fine in the Legend. Make sure you format it with the phone to stop it being dismounted, well known issue and the fix

[Q] Externel sd card help

Hi to all again
I'm just woundering will my sgs support a 32gb sd card and also which class dose it support as well as i've been looking at the class 10s.
cheers
madant

Yes the galaxy supports 32gb card, just make sure its a micro damn hard to make a normal one fit! A class 4 would probably be sufficient dont know if you would gain anything with a class 10 and would also be less expensive.

Lol they seem to lose a significant amount of integrity when you pound a full size sd card in a micro sd slot.
Swyped from a galaxy far far away.

Soz guys i ment an external micro sd card.lol
Madant2011

I replaced my Transcend 16GB Class6 microSDHC with a Kingston 32GB Class10.
According to SD-Tools I had 6-7 MB/s before while now it ranges between 9 and 13 MB/s. So write speed is definitely better.

Thanks for the help, were's the best place to get your sd card from.?????.

[Q] SD card or mini SD card?

I see one member here modded his Note to take a normal sized SD card.... is there any advantage using the full-sized cards to the mini ones?

Go with MicroSD. There is no difference between them, except the fact that SD card won't fit and moddying the phone to force it in - is generally not a very good idea.

Well, there are three differences:
1) Size: Regular SDXC available to 128 GB, mSDXC 64 GB only
2) Speed: Regular SDXC up to class16, mSDXC class6
3) Pricing: Regular SDXC are cheaper than mSDXC
It's your choice...I choose the 64 GB mSDXC from SanDisk (cos no modification is necessary)
Regards

so i take it that for the same class of card there is no performance benefit of full size SD over micro..
although his set-up does allow hot-swapping...not sure if there are any benefits to that though.

I thought microSDXC went up to class10. At least thats what I think I have

I read somewhere there is no added benefit on using over class 10 sd card on a mobile phone. Actually Class 6 is more than enough according to some benchmarks. Sorry I cannot quote right now.

Would like to ask whether any significant performance different between Class 4 and Class 6 card. Last I check the price of a 32 class 4 / class 6 scandisk is nearly 40% price premium.

So I'm assuming you got the 64GB micro SD card to work in the Note? Anything special you need to do to get it to work? I know I had to format the card first in my Evo 3D. Thanks.

@fabianfred
Yes, I did forget the hotswap possibility, cos you don't need to remove the battery.
If you need more than 59,46 GB for music, movies etc you should get a regular SDXC.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
@jeffs99
I've found the class16 at ebay, but I'm not sure if the speed is achievable.
Just google for sdxc class16 and you'll see.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
@f1nzup
Nothing special needed.
Just put it in your Note and format it in there.
Voila, you've got 59,46 GB to spam.

do Sandisk Mobile Ultra cards Help ?

Hi,I for the fun project tried the R-Pi with my old Class 2 2Gb card in the drawer ;\0\]Just wondering if anyone has tried these Sandisk Ultra cards which promise good speeds !!
Do they make significant differences ??

They do make a difference, but in reality any card with class 6 speeds and up, and 4 GB+ should be fine. Your 2 GB class 2 card is a little small and slow, geting a bigger and faster will offer noticeably better performance in areas such as boot times and application responsiveness.

Yes, a 16 GB Class 10 SD card will have write speeds around 10-15 MiB/s and read speeds around 15-25 MiB/s in real world performance scenarios. Some brands preform better then others such as the SanDisk Class 10 cards.

Glad I could help man, if you want a good list of all known working SD cards that are compatible with the RPi check out this list here.

I just placed the order for Sandisk , mobile ultra 8 Gb !! seems it says class 10 but they say its 30Mbps !

I noticed that with the Raspberry, the "theoretical" speed matters very little.
What is important, is how fast can the card read and write small and very small files.
As a rule of thumbs, the "highest" the speed advertised by the manufacturer, the poorer the performances will be.
I have been quite happy so far with low class (6) Sandisk Ultra as they perform quite good with small files.
Hope this helps!

Hell I have a class 4 and it's good for me. Although I use a usb drive for my files. The sd is just for the OS, packages, system files etc

Best MicroSD Card for the M8.

So I'm trying to find out some technical information for the M8. I'm in the market for an SD card. There are different read and write speeds on the Sandisk cards. What is the theoretical maximum speed that the M8 would benefit from. Such as loading games and running media off of it. Is there one or in the real world, would I literally not notice the difference between an Ultra card and Extreme Plus card?

Wouldn't notice the difference. Speeds vary between same cards anyways so it is also luck of the draw.
Sent from HTC One_M8 using hofo app.

you probably wouldn't notice much as far as loading media. That said I did get one of the sandisks and noticed improved transfer speeds. I was too used to using the internal memory on my Gnex and for the month I used an S3 before the m8 I was getting sick of the slow card I had.
As far as between the extreme and ultra I can't tell you.

Whatever card you do buy, make sure not to buy it on eBay. The majority of them on there are counterfeits.

This one is supposedly pretty baller... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA12K0PF3125
Up to 70 MB/s! People say real world up to 20 MB/s writes and 60 MB/s reads, which is great for a MicroSD card.

I would say go with transcend microsd cards, they are rock solid:

Using the SanDisk Extreme pro, works really well! With 95mb/s read, Ferrari speeds lol

Now im using sandisk extreme pro 64gb e
everything its ok and it work very well

this card so good
SanDisk
MicroSDHC（TF）,this card so good. 95MB/S:victory:

I have a Sandisk 64 ultra in my device currently. I also have useed a 128g but those come formatted exFAT. You *can* use exFAT cards in the M8, but you will have to be rooted and running a custom kernel that supports exFAT (I believe there is only one such kernel or possibly two). Otherwise, you need to reformat the 128g card as FAT32. Since my current kernel does not support exFAT, I'm using the 64g until I need the space.

Cards
Sandisk is the best and you must have to search internet for technical assistance, writing and reading speeds etc.

128gb exfat works just fine with stock kernel and at least two custom kernels. I use it with mrjaydee82's gpe rom with no problems.

Yeah i couldve sworn my sandisk 128gb is formatted exfat. 64gb can be formatted exfat also. I think the big difference is trying to move a file larger than 4gb to fat32 is a problem. Exfat is fine. I wonder what f2fs would be like for SD cards though.

I ran Codecraft's kernels for a while and they support exFAT. Currently running scrosler's "stock" modified kernel which supports init.d and it specifically states that it does NOT support exFAT. I haven't gotten to a point where the 4g limitation is meaningful, though.

I have a few... Like 15. Kingston, Transcend, Samsung and SanDisk. 8GB to 128GB. Most are 16-32GB. All rated Class 10, but some rated 95Mbps and lower. In general usage, I don't feel any difference.

Those who are using the Sandisk 128gb card, would you say it's fast enough to set as the destination for pictures and video? I'm thinking of getting one and moving my photo and video destination to the external, but I'm worried that the shutter speed (and video quality) will suffer because of it.

I've left the cam to internal NAND but I tend to use the 32-64GB typically. I've only used the 128GB on two outings and it worked fine although it was nearly empty. It mostly goes in my XS-1.

As long as its Class 10, it should be fine. And it looks like all 128 GB MicroSD cards from Sandisk are Class 10, UHS-1.
I have a Class 10, UHS-1 Sandisk card (although only 32 GB) and it takes video and Zoes (those would be the most speed intensive) seamlessly as well as pics.
