Yes but i have a question. I have a 16GB kingston class 2 sd card. Where do you actually see the difference in speed?

I opted for two class 10 16gb cards off Ebay, Write:14MB/s, Read:17MB/s

Well the difference is the speed of the read/write, with class 2 its possible of speeds around 2mbps i think where as a higher class card is capable of much higher which is good when transfering files (especially custom ROM's) to the phone. Also browsing through music tahts on the SD is faster.

Are you sure that they are real? At that price they kind of seem too good to be true :/

get 16GB .. it's enough, and if not get another 16GB , buying 32GB is just waste of money :/

i ended up with a transcend 16gb class 6
thx for the help

I know it's a bit late for some so do apologise.

I ordered Lexar 32gb class 10 microSD card from Lambdatek in the UK.
Took a while to get here, but they had the best prices, and the SD card is really worth all the money. Getting read / write spead at 18 / 10 mb/s
A big improvement over my former class 2 SD card and works great for full HD video recording, which was what I was going for.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251038684911?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I bought the 8gb for £2.80 yesterday price seems to have risen most likely because people were buying a LOAD of them.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MicroSD-T...S_Accessories_Software_ET&hash=item3cc384c620
Probably the cheapest prices i have seen.

I would never buy anything like a class 10 card from eBay unless the seller was someone like eBuyer or Argos, so many fake cards on eBay.
Better to pay more and know you are getting class 10. Also the class doesn't mean a hole lot, read and write speeds are what you should look at.

The class of the sd card IS what indicates the read and write speed, a class 10 gives you min 10mb sec write speed.

It's also good to pay attention to the manufacturer. Some no-name class 4 card I got was barely working, while there's no problem with a Kingston one, with the same specs.

Iv been using a genric class 4gb sd card for years and i still get 5mb/s write speed on it.

My class 4 barely manages 4MB/s, usually in the 3s. Sandisk

I got the 8gb sd card in the post, speed test shows at 4.8mb/s write speed.

It happened to me to find micro sd cards not respecting class written on them. there are a lot of softwares that mesure writing and reading speed. Personally, I would spend a little more money for a good product i.e. I have a 32Gb Samsung, Class 10 and I payed it 35€ (shipping included..)
If you don't need a big capability, a good 8gb or 16gb can cost you not more than 10-15€...
It's something you buy once and least for year..buy it good and you won't regret it!

Recommend me an SD card.

I'm on a budget here, and I'm looking for an external SD to place all my media.
Thing is, I don't need to have amazing transfer speeds from PC to card.
I just play media on phone, and I don't frequently take videos on my phone.
So what's the best card for me? I suppose class 10 cards aren't a necessity for me right?

I bought a SanDisk 64GB Micro SDXC from Amazon for $45. Don't know what your budget is so it is hard to recommend something.

I totally agree.

Whatever your budget and size-need is; make sure you buy a card that is class 10. Class 4 are too slow for files transfers; they're good for the normal reading of audio and video files but the transfers (in and out) are just a pain-slow...

WOAH! Anyone have any experience with any of these Sony SD cards? Looks like they're priced to move...

I heard eg class 6 performs better than class 10 in some scenarios.
Is class 10 always the way to go?

I've had a class 4 kingstone micro sd card and it worked extremely fine with media files .. I think class 10 just for media is a little bit far

Sandisk 32 gig class 10 is $22 on amazon. The class 6 is a couple dollars more. You won't need the higher class for what you are doing. Just for basic pics and music a class 6 is fine. Also I advise against the 64 gig if you are using CWM recovery and/or a aosp ROM. They aren't friends.

I have a sandisk sd 64 and I really like it. For most basic users like yourself I would suggest looking for a bargain deal. Amazon has SD cards on sale most of the time, I wouldn't buy anything unless it was on sale if budget is important.

Best Micro SD Card for the Xperia Z

Hi,
I'm new here at xda-forum, cause I get an Xperia Z this week (waiting for the order) and my question is what's the best micro sd card for this phone.
Micro SD card needs:
- Class 10
- 32/64 GB
- that lasts for a very long time
Thx for helping
Greetz,
Rom

ive been using a SanDisk 64gb class ultra (10) for about a year and a half now had it in my xperia play and now my Xperia Z
only ever formated it once and that was when I first got it, I paid about 55 gbp but you can probably get one for about 40 gbp now maybe less
I wouldn't say theres a best one but that one has served and is serving me well just wish there was a 128gb now haha I have so much stuff on it, mostly android games though (30gb)
Hope this helps

What micro sd? the micro sdxc or the sdhc?

Between SDXC and SDHC, difference is only in size, not speed. Some people often mistakes it for another speed mark, especially on SDXC (eg. X - Xtra speed )
SDHC - Secure Digital High Capacity (0 - 32GB)
SDXC - Secure Digital Xtended Capacity (32GB and more)

I always use Sandisks and I never had a single issue with any of them.
Right now I'm using this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003HIWHN0/
Dirt cheap and much faster than listed. Lower class SD cards might not benchmark very well but they perform great in Android and for smaller files.

Samsung and Transcend mSD cards are also good quality and performace. I prefer Samsung because they are cheap in my friend's store. SanDisk cannot be bought in Croatia, only via amazon, ebay, etc... and are much more expensive than Samsung.
I don't believe that they are much better than Samsung Class 10 Pro than how much they cost more.

Did You buy mSD cards form eBay? There are lot of fake ones.
On HTC Desire I used Samsung 8GB Class 10 (2 years) and I sold HTC and that card to a friend and still working.
Now I'm using Samsung SDHC 16GB Pro Class 10 for 3 months since day 1 with Xperia Z. No problems whatsoever. I have 2y warranty with it.
Beside that, having Transcend 2GB and 4GB Class 4 in my Nokia X2 and 6303C phones, those are 4 years old.
Soon I will get Alcatel OT Idol and for him I bought Transcend 8GB Class 6.

SanDisk is top quality brand, but no one can tell how long it will be working. It can work 10 years, or could die in few days. Important is for You to do backups and have valid warranty.

I have been looking for a 64g SD card for my samsung tab 3 7". After reading many reviews on amazon I have discoverd a few things you might want to consider.
1. Anything over 32 gig is a whole different world for sd cards an compatibility especially for Samsung tab 3's
2. I don't know about other brands but sandisk seems to have formatting problems with android. They sell several different 64gig cards and some come with a warning that reformatting in the mobile device will leave the card unusable.
2. There are a lot of counterfeit 64gig cards out there and even though people are complaining about it, Amazon continues to sell them. Read the reviews carefully.
3. I don't know if the tab3 can utilize the class 10 cards that claim 30 mb per second.
I just started looking into getting a 64gig card for my tab 3 and my information is still incomplete as to what to get. All I can suggest is read, read read... There are some shifty deals out there.
I hope someone that has more knowledge about this subject will chime in as I am somewhat confused about the best card to go with.

Copy that. Thank you very much or the input, I was also just reading about the counterfeit cards that Amazon is selling in the reviews for some cards and elsewhere. I'm not sure why or how they would continue to sell them knowing that they are fake! I am seriously thinking about just going with one of the nicer Samsung cards and be done with it.

3. I don't know if the tab3 can utilize the class 10 cards that claim 30 mb per second.

So no problems with anyones non Samsung card not being recognized by your device or in particular your recovery?

Cool, Good info. Thanks

Just to update its been 2 weeks now and the cards are doing great. I read the reviews before I bought and they said the transcend was very compatible with devices and since samsung is so picky I liked hearing that. Also a lifetime warranty is great too. Proof of purchase is necessary but since I purchased thru amazon I always have a record.
