SDCard Write speed? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently upgraded my class 2 card to a class 6 card and noticed when writing a rom to the SD root the speed is the same speed (around 1.75mb/s)?
I'm doing this with the SDCard in the phone and a usb cable.
Also my class 6 is a Adata 8gb class 6, and my class 2 was a SanDisk 2gb.
Would this be the hardware limiting (g1) or something else?
Fwiw when rooting a buddies mytouch3g and his class 4 card it would write much faster (~3-4mb/s).

The speed did increase but it is also having to look through 2x the amount of data as well. I read this somewhere, and I am also Googling it now as we speak to come up with a reference link for you. Basically if you have a 2gb card that's class 2 and class 6 you are going to see a speed increase on the class 6 card, but, if you go from a 2gb class 2 card to a 6-8gb class 6 card, you are not going to see much of an increase if any at all due to the increased size and the time it takes to write data over the card. This is a fragmentation issue as I read it.
Please, don't take this as 100% fact, just something I read when I did my research about 4 months ago.
Hope that helps

well that sucks lol
but you are saying if we go from Class 2 8 Gig to Class 6 8 Gig, there will be a increase?

Sorry guys but your theories are way off=p It's the USB cable thats at fault. Either get a better USB, or put it in a mircosd card reader and you should see speeds roughly at 10mb/s write and 20mb/s read (at least those are mine with a samsung class 6 from amazon=p)
PS: Who ever heard of a 6gb sdcard? they come in exponents of 2: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1,024, 2,048, 4,096, 8,192, 16,384, 32,768....
yeah I'm pretty darn bored if you can't tell....

I pulled the card out and put it on a card reader and it would write about 9-10MB/s, but still only 1.5-1.75MB/s though the G1 (usb mounted).

It's the usb that is limiting you (I think). Think of it as filling a pool with a 12-inch fire house that is running through a funnel=p. Try a different USB cable.

I'm using the same cable for both the G1 and the card reader. I assume its just the G1s USB driver/transfer protocol thats causing the issues.

How do I find out what class sd card I have?

I only have what came with the phone...it's a 2gb and its plenty enough space for now as long as it is a class 6. I'm sure I'll want more later on but I'd hate to waste the current one I have now. Is there an app that tests as card access speed?

Just look at the card, it has either a 2 or a 4 or a 6 in a circle stamped on it. Thats the class. The class = the number of MB/S it can transfer. A class 6, for example, transfers approximately 6mb / sec.
yeah I read about that but I'm pretty sure I would have figured that much out just by looking at it but there is no writing that implies class 2, 4 or 6 on it. It is a Sandisk 2gb card. Is there a program that can test it's access speed?

Yeah, you can plug it into a pc with an adapter and check how fast you can write to it, but if its the one that came with the G1 it is probably a class 2. Get a Trancend class 6 from Amazon for like $20 us or so. Big difference. There should be a circle with a number on it on all sd micro cards, you may need a magnifying glass if your eyes are as as bad as like mine..
If it doesn't say, it's class 2.

Yep, feel free to use this tool, h2test 1.4 - http://sharebee.com/b26bb1b8
Not only can you detect the read/write speeds but also if the memory card is a fake or not. If you've ever bought a memory card (most common being Mem Stick DUO PROs) and had less then great performance/storage then use this tool to test it.
Check out the readme to find out more.
yeah it's a class 2...kinda expected that because it's the card shipped with the phone. I used the app h2test to find this out. Thanx for helping me out here
Glad to have helped ^_^ Its a very useful tool all round and is part of my subset of tools I carry around with me on my usb stick.
mines doesn't say
2gb kingston microsd about $5
h2testw says about 7 MByte/s - write
but my class 4 card is only 4 MByte/s - write
???
can the g1 support a class 10 card, if it can what available microsd cards does it support? 8gb only im assuming..

Can the HD2 benefit from class 6 SD? Or is it a bottleneck >Class 2?

I ordered a class 6 16gb card to replace the slow-ass class 2 8GB card I had in my HD2.
First of all I couldnt find the format sd tool in my energy rom (1st July) so I had to format the card using vista while the HD2 was connected in disk drive mode. THAT TOOK OVER 1 HOUR.
(Is there a cab file to install the "Format SD Card" tool for the newer energyroms?)
Anyways after formatting (Fat 32, 16KB cluster), I started to copy my 1.4GB sd backup file to the card using the same method as above (disk drive mode)....
My maximum write speed was 2.7MB/sec. Average 2MB/sec.
Class 2 speeds????
After restoring the backup, which took forever, I ran spb benchmark on the card and was gutted to get slightly lower results than the old class 2 I was replacing.
Can the HD2 make use of anything faster than a class 2 card?
Has anyone here tested a class 6 or even 4 card and found good write speeds (~6MB/sec, or ~4MB/sec)?
Does it sound like I have bought a lemon (class 2 labelled as class 6)?
I have spoken to the seller and he is adamant that they ARE genuine class 6. Reckons he tested some of the batch in TrueHD cameras which will not accept <Class6. Seems genuine and some of his feedback states that the cards are Genuine class 6. Which leads me to think that the bottleneck could be the HD2... Does that sound likely?
I'm waiting for a microsd USB reader to arrive so I can test the card outside of the HD2, but Until I can do that... can anyone tell me if a class 6 is wasted in a HD2?
The strange thing is that when browsing photos/wallpapers etc, the thumbnails ARE loading maybe 3x quicker than my old class 2. So I'm pretty confused about this one.
Can anyone shed any light here? Feel free to post benchmark results/screenshots etc.
Thanks in advance.
can anyone PLEASE answer this ^^^?
Is there any point having a class 6 card in the HD2 instead of a class 2 or 4 card?
there is a thread in the accessories section have a gander in there, I no this is Q&A's but lots of talk about mem cards in the accessories section mate
Cheers mate, I'll take a look.
I will move this thread there. I also recently bought a Class 6 card and and have seen a huge improvement in media reading and over all performence.
I get 4-5MB/s both for reads writes with my 16GB class 6 card in disk drive mode.
Thanks zelendel and kilrah.

That is exactly the kind of data I'm looking to compare.
Whith my 'class 6' Im getting just under 3MB/S WRITE and under 6MB/S READ when using the HD2 in disk drive mode.
If I use the card in a USB 2.0 reader I can get around 5.5MB/S Write and ~11-13MB/S read.
Based on this alone would you say my card is a class 6 or not. I'm beginning to think it may be a class 4 re-labelled.
Picture browsing etc is faster with my class 6 but all benchmarks indicate it is identical speed to my genuine Kingston Class 2.
What do you guys reckon, Should I send this card back for a refund???
Well if you're getting 5.5 and over 11MB per second with a card reader then we can safely assume it's class 6. The bottleneck is something to do with the phone, rom, cable or simply the phone doesn't like this particular card etc...
EDIT: Test your class 2 card with the memory card reader and see if you get similar results.

Thank you for helping me clear things up.
Comparing the 'class 6' and the 'class 2' transfer speeds is where I really get confused here.
Transferring a ~700MB .Avi to and from SD using a reader:
Kingston Class 2 8GB:
Read 12.5MB/s
Write 5.4MB/s
Unbranded Class 6 16GB:
Read 12.5MB/s
Write 6MB/s
So, from this, would you say its safe to assume:
1. The class 2 card is a good one, performing at almost class 6 speeds.
2. The class 6 card is 'Genuine' and shouldnt be returned.
3. There is a bottleneck when using the HD2 as a card reader/disk drive. I should be getting more than 2.5mb/s write speeds in this mode.
4? Does 12.5MB/sec sound close to USB 1.1 speeds? could my reader or even USB port (Vista laptop) be another bottleneck?
Once again thank you for helping me make sense of all this.
At least I now know that the 16gb card doesnt really need to be returned.
Can you give me your oppinions on the above?
Well class 2 means you should be getting a minimum 2MB/s speeds and class 6 means you should be getting a minimum 6MB/s.
Seems like you have a very good class 2 card.
More info here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital
Your class 6 is performing to spec.
Personally I would never buy an unbranded card but that's me. A branded card may perform better than there class rating e.g. Your Kingston brand I've always used Sandisk personally...
I've just managed to drum up enough funds to get myself a HD2 and now looking to upgrade my HCSD card to 16GB. To get the "right" class I tried to find the spec on the SD interface but I cannot find anything and the best data I can find is that I shouldn't waste my money on unbranded devices, I would always buy a SANDISK device for something I relied on! For data and communication!
People seem to get appropriate speeds for the class of device they have, if they are branded and sometimes if unbranded. However, there doesn't seem to be anything better than class 6 results debated or given. Is it a VERY rash assumption that the fastest the HD2 interface can go is Class 6?
Chris
Does this mean its not worth getting 32gb cos its a class2
& theat would make the phone slower cos lot more stuff on it
& will take more loading time & play Videos lagy ?
anyone useing 32gb ?
Thanks
My experience was positive with higher class micro SD.
At first, I used 8GB micro SD bundled with my HD2 and didn't notice improved loading speed. Later, I changed it with higher class one, same 8GB, with same manufacturer, Sandisk. Higher class one has name "Ultra" on it. Now with changed SD, loading became WAY faster. "Wow" I realized the higher speed of CPU of HD2.
My 2 pennies.
NEVER EVER buy unbranded memory cards!
Keep an eye on Sandisk cards only and even prefer them to Transcend and Kingston.

This is worth it, take it from someone who was looking for something other than SanDisk 32GB C2 I have been waiting for Kingston's 32GB C4 for long time and when it came out I got it though offical site for $159.
Yeah, I ordered one of these last week from newegg along with an otterbox defender case for $33 w/free shipping for both.... not too bad at all. Should be getting them today. Has anyone used the Kingston class 4 32gb card for running android on the hd2?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Well, far as I know people do claim the R/W IOPs for HD2 when card inside the device won't go beyond class 2 rate but some who did use class 4-6 cards said they did see major improvement in terms of loading OS/Apps from mSD card. Anything beyond class 4 is an overkill on HD2 that I accept unless you are moving around massive amount of data and use HD2 as your mean to transfer it, in that case just buy thumb drive.
"Sent from my PC using THE hand" lol
I was in a Fry's Electronics the other day and I saw a 16gb Class 10 microsd card for $32.00. Don't remember the maker but it was not name brand, that is extremely questionable
wow
my videos which are about 12g play almost instantly now i love this card and the free usb reader, thanks kingston
Ya this card was worth waiting for hell I shot up an storm in this section comparing other vendors. Now I have the SanDisk 16GB C2 card not sure what to do with it, hopefully I can sell that cheap.
same
stuck with the sandisk
I ordered this 32GB class 4 card from Kingston and it is much slower then my old SanDisk card. Booting Android took over 5 minutes and after that the device still is VERY slow.
With its card reader I could copy my files onto it with 3-4MB/s.
Then I installed SKTools under Windows Mobile and used its benchmark tool to compare my SD Cards:
My old SanDisk 8GB card (stock one from the blackstone, afaik class 2): ~6,6MB/s reading and 1,1-1,5MB/s writing
The new class 4 32GB Kingston card: ~2,2MB/s reading and 500-700KB/s writing
So I can't use Android with this crappy SD card.
Ya IDK man same on my end. Took me 25min to traf 320mb files, ATM showing me 116min to traf 4.1gb.
i got kingston 23gb class 4. really disappointed takes forever to transfer. but speed test shows its class 4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861232
oh yeah i got the one from frys it rocks to bad its not 32gb.
I would stick with SanDisk.
I wanned to try out a faster card so got a class 6 Kingston 8gb.. while it loaded things faster, it caused severe stuttering and lagginess at times.
Upon reserach i found, kingston, and many other cards are not the same quality grade as sandisk, i am told in order to be price competitive they buy crap from others at cheap and stick thier name in it. And sometimes they buy rejects from sandisk, toshiba, samsung etc and brand them.....
Unfortunately i cant remmeber the links i researched....
So i would stick with sandisk, or another proven manufacturer....
UThis is total BS, I started it at like 6PM and now its 10:40PM and still 78min's to go WTF and its just 4.2GB music files avg at like 3-6mb/ea. Now I remember putting the whole dir in SanDisk 16GB Class 2 in less than 40min. So WTF does it take so long? Also as I wrote to Kingston CS ill share it here.
To make the file transfer go faster you have to directly allocate the file in memory thus saving time for R/W IO access. I did test many times but I am not even sure HD2 is following SD 2.0 or is it just this POS card no were close to even the stock SanDisk's.
Test: Dir with 5 files at 5mb/ea so thats 25mb. If you copy each file you reduce the time by 3x but if you copy the dir all the objects inside takes time to allocate for some reason.
PS: I am thinking about now getting SanDisk 32GB Class 2.
***UPDATE***
3.85GB

--------
SanDisk 16GB Class 2 = 26min
Kingston 32GB Class 4 = 191min

I also don't understand this.. I have a 16gb C2 card and wanted to experiment a lot with the various android roms out there, so thought a C4 would be the answer. ordered a 16gb C4 and it is always slower than the C2. a full 30 seconds on booting Android.
This confuses me.....okay okay .. thats not hard to do, but as far as I'm concerned if a card is rated at twice the "constant" speed of the other .. it should be faster...

I think it really depends on the card and not the class. I have a couple of Class4 and Class6 cards with identical builds of android and my class2 16gb continually outperform them in boot times and general speed. Class only designates write speed and there is a lot more to an SD card's performance that is not captured in the class designation.
ATM I am thinking about returning the Kingston 32GB C4 as I spoke to Kingston Tech Support and might go with SanDisk 32GB C2. Alot of people say SanDisk is superior and is faster for some reason and getting close to class 4 rating.

I just bought a kingston 32gb class 6 micro sdhc but when ever i put it in my hd2 it just freezes up and as soon as I remove the card it works fine again.At first i thought that it was a fake so I:
1)performed multiple tests,
2)reformated a 1000 times,
3)even putting 20gb of data just to make sure.
Turns out that it is authentic and it works perfectly on my girlfriend's htc BalckStone it also worked when I installed NAND (which i later removed due to insufficient memory).Ive been searching for days, I think its a windows mobile issue, any tips??

LOL you are way to funny man as you said "I just bought a kingston 32gb class 6 micro sdhc" and then on top of that "Turns out that it is authentic".
I am guessing you got this card from eBay? If thats the case then its fake ill tell you why as there is no Kingston 32GB Class 6 card ATM. My best bet is you do extended data testing on it and verify the content to make sure its not corrupted. But if I was you I wouldn't do any of this as ill return that POS, why take chance with your data? Also NEVER buy memory cards via eBay or else you will be pwned with notorious chinese fakes.
But for those who actually thinking about buying the legit Kingston 32GB Class 4 microSD read below and think twice.

[Q] 16 GB class 10 card...

is the nexus capable of handling a class 10 sdhc? or should i just stick with a class 4/6 card?
Yes, but you're not really going to gain much by using a class 10.
i figured that but will it help with usb2.0 transfers?
i have one
its faster than my class 2 one, thats for SURE.
now, i never had a class 4 or class 6 to compare
dang. anybody? i want to get a 16 gig card. can't find any info to the performance of a class 10 card on nexus one. i don't want anything less than 6 though which is still about half the 90+ dollars a class 10 would cost.

I use a class 6 and it's fine. If you want fairly cheap sd cards, go to microcenter. They have their own brand and they're much cheaper than the name brands. I've had mine for over 2 years and never had a glitch.
a little info for the general user...
well, after doing some research here and there, it seems there is little reason to get beyond a class 6 card for the nexus. there is very little chance you will even reach 6 through an usb cable. it seems the most common speeds are 1-3 MB's a second. i generally get a little over 2 MB's and sometimes up to 3. the only reason to get a class 10 card is if you manually take out your card and slap it in a reader and directly transfers large files such as mp3's and video, especially if you do it often.
as far as this SDHC card crap goes... THEY ARE NEVER as fast as they say.
I bought a class 4 card and it said on the dealership that it's 4MB/s transfer. Put it in the phone it went 1 MB/s.. WTF.. put it in a card reader... 1.5 MB/s.. returned it and demanded money back.
Then I got a class 6 from transcend. It's marked as 10 MB/s?! .. going on 4 MB/s sometimes 5MB/s in the phone. haven't tried it in the card reader though.
so my advice to you.. buy and return them until you are satisfied

[Q] Note sdcard read speed.

Hi,
I am eyeing for the sandisk mobile ultra 32gb class 6. It claims to have 30mb/s read speed which is really impressive.
But does galaxy note sdcard reader will be able to handle 30mb/s read speed? Because for what I know most card reader tops at 20mb/s which is why most cards even those class10 ones has read speeds of less than 20mb/s.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks.
I don't think Note can handle 30 mb/s .. someone with more insight on the hardware of the card reader on Note might be able to help you

That's the 'realism' that I had in my mind. If I have a full 32gb card, and wanted to transfer my pictures and videos, which is what mostly the card will be used up for, how is the transfer speed will be? If I am able to use the full 30mb/s read speed on sandisk mobile ultra card, that can greatly reduce the amount of time to move 32gb of data off the sdcard.
For sdcard application usage within the phone itself, the only thing that I can think of that will use alot of bandwidth on the card is recording full hd video, which a class 6 card is more than enough to handle the write speed. If for read speed, a mere class 2 cards can do 8mb/s read speed which is fast enough to watch your regular hd video, listen to your mp3 etc.
You just can just connect the phone to pc as storage mass and the program will detect the drive. You can start the test using the software.
What is your microsd brand?
k heres my 2 cents, my family has 5 galaxy notes. Basically I tried many brands ranging class 4, 6 and 10. First off the class 4 32g are like 40% or so slower than the class 10's. The 2 class 10's I have are all different brand both 32g and I can tell you they don't really make a lot of diff in terms of speed its less than 0.5mb per sec diff (the slower class 10 is same brand as the Note and the other one starts with Lex???). Then you have the class 6 64g which runs up to around 10% or so slower than the class 10. At the end of the day what you find is class 6 and 10 are both fast but the class 4 are dam slow. On my machine I'm using the 64g card. Speed was determined and optimized by SD booster and SD tools.
Thanks for info, that's alot of GNotes you got there.. your family must like BIG SCREENS.
Anyway, my actual question was, is the GNote be able to handle 30mb/s transfer for the sandisk mobile ultra versions or atleast what is the highest read speed for GNote card reader.
There is one benchmark that I came across somewhere that proves that the card does actually deliever that transfer speed albeit using usb 3.0 port. It takes atleast a regular usb 2.0 reader on a usb 3.0port to achieve it. A usb 2.0 reader on usb 2.0 port barely makes the 20mb/s mark on the same card. So the usb 3.0 port is quite crucial even though a usb 2.0 reader is being used on it.
So yah, the ideal situation is someone actually has the sandisk ultra mobile card + GNote and is willing to give spare time to benchmark it for us and post it here.
