Hi all,
I've currently been using a 16GB Sandisk Class 4 MicroSD in my Note, and that's filling up, and I'm planning to switch to a 32GB card.
BUT, there's 2 I'm stuck against choosing between.
This one is a 32GB Class 4 card by SanDisk:

But this one is a 32GB Class 10 card by Play.com:

Which should I go for?
If you want more speed: Class 10
If you want more money: Class 4

32GB CLASS 10.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium App
I'd personally go for the class 4, SanDisk are a much better brand and do faster transfer rates by default, so another brand class 4 would likely be slower than a SanDisk card.
The only time you'll notice the benefits of class 10 is for pc transfers of large files, most normal and small files will still transfer at reduced rates. In general use you will get zero benefit of it being class 10.

I saw a class 10 card smwhere......now is this class 10 faster than class 6?
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App
yes, a class 10 card is faster than a class 6 card, but a class 10 card is very expensive.
Don't buy a noname class 10 card for 30 Euro that might be a fake...
yeah i have that doubt too , about if a 32gb sdcard is properly supported by our phone and not brick it in the trying lol , also how will i know what class if my sdcard? is there a software for check that info?
On the most cards its on the body...
If not you can also ask the shop where you bought the card
A memory card with class 4 or higher is good!
Buy class 6, thats save
Try to avoid buying memory cards on ebay unless you have a clear idea about memory cards and the ebay seller. Some cheap chinese cards on ebay could be fakes which either would not work well or would have the capacity inflated by a driver hack.
microSDs come in class 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10. The speed difference between each of these classes is tremendous. However, the price is also different. Class 10 being most expensive and class 2 being cheapest.
You'd have to strike a good balance between speed, price and capacity. I'd recommend a Class 6 with 16GB capacity.
Of course, if you have lots of money to spare, go for a class 10 32GB.

what not to buy : Kingston 8gb class 4
Hi guys,
I'm getting a new sdcard for my phone, but I'm not exactly sure what class should I get. Is class 4 enough or should I get at least class 6?
I'm worried about full HD videos recording.
Any tips appreciated
Im going to get 16gb class 6

Equipped with Team MicroSDHC 16GB Class 6.
I've got a 16GB class 4 and am happy with it.
In my opinion, the prices of cards class 6+ are too high for the extra transfer speed they offer.
tnx for the tips
16gig class 6 = 20$ off ebay.
And yes its a real class 6 as I have tested its speed

I've read that class 10 is actually slower at reading small files than class 4
You can see a lot of data (real world data) here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjPE3ZAD2eVudE9vZmQ3aHlfTkFvU2J4ZUplRDJQTEE#gid=0
taken from this thread
So if you're going boot from SD for example I would get a class 4
If you are planning on transferring a lot of movies/music/photo's or recording video's in high resolution onto the SD, I would recommend a class 10
But best of all: do some research and pick a card that excels in both, e.g.
SanDisk Mobile Ultra 32GB Micro SDHC Flash Card Model SDSDQY-032G-A11A
Samsung Class 10 MB-MSBGA/EU

I have one Samsung 32gb class 10 (MB-MSBGA) and i'm quite satisfied with it.
It costed 32€ (1€/Gb is really a nice price ) and it's fast
Antutu Bench 2.7 gives me writes of 17-18MB/s and reads of around 20-22 MB/s (these scores with only 4gb free in the sd card (full of music and hd vids))
I use Kingston 8G class 4.
In regular use it has enough speed.
I have a ridata 32GB class10.
Really happy with it too.
My rule is to get class 6 and up. But that's me because I tend to play around with my phone and may come a time where I need to boot from it. As of now, the class 10 helps with loading apps (I hope). Since I have CM7 and it's using the external card as the default sd mount.
team 16gb class 10 forever
i think class 6 is good and the performance is good too. I never heard any of my friends got problem with it
I'm using VERICO 16GB class 10, very good performance!
I had to decide between Class 6 and Class 10 for my P990, but since the Class 10 just had a small additional charge I picked this one.
Samsung Class 10 for 18-19€ (Germany)
I have found 16GB CLASS 6 strontium brand which cost around 26USD. You think 16GB class 10 is a big difference for class 6?16GB Class 10 is still not available now in my area. What do you think? Planning to use it on link2sd/app2sd to focus all my apps on SD
Both are fast but class 10 is faster.

I use a transcend 8Gb class 6 SDcard. ofcourse, apps2sd is already included with most Custom ROMs (you do NOT need to move apps to the SD card, a partition,ext3/4, is used as apps and data storage and is treated as internal). Use Link2SD only on the stock ROM.
What i mean is that class 6 enough for day to day operation oe gaminf ie better buy class10?

Class indicates minimum data rate.
6 = 6MB/s
10= 10MB/s
So it is almost 2x faster
Some of "pro" class 10 have speed over 20MB/s
This isn't a huge difference for using app2sd. You can search in web a test of both sdcards. If the price difference is so big, buy the class 6 one.

Guys will our beloved W8/X8 benefit the class 10 speed or it is only for card reader? I mean in terms of gaming. Does class 10 outshines class 6? cause right now Im using a class 2 stock 4GB microsDHC with the write speed of 4.9 MB/s and a read speed of 11.3 MB/s on SD Card tools
You only need a class 10 card if you will be doing 720p video recordings. Since our cellphone can't record in 720p, it is not worth it. If you plan on upgrading your phone soon, then you'd better wait.
i have AData 8GB class 10 card and i pay for it 15$ dollars and worth that money because is very fast and good..
I have AData 16 Gb Class 10 for 28$ and its great =) fast card for good prize.
Class 10 is faster a lot compare with class 6. Because I am always copy files from Office to my laptop everyday, i feel the difference.faster 1.5-3x.
But, our x8 is only run about class 6 speed. So class 10 used on a x8, the speed is only faster about 5-10%.
If you ask my comment, i will still recommend you to buy the class 10,because: it is faster, and the price is not a big difference. maybe few dollars. you still can use the memory card on future phone.
Hmm I had bought a RiData 16GB Microsdhc class 10 worth around 35USD. But when I test with sd tools in market I can get only 9 and if lucky 10.1 most of the time 8.9
Class 10 cards suck at reading a lot of small files (gaming).
but is that normal for class 10? my stock class 2 can go over 3

Hiya guys,
I have been looking forward to buy a memory card of 32 GB. I have found out that there are various memory cards available of different classes. The least one is Class 4 which is the cheapest and Class 10 is the most expensive. I am not sure about the difference between the two.
I would like to know which Class memory card should be fine for the Galaxy Note ? Class 4 will work or I should choose Class 10 memory card ?
Please help me with this...
that would be the read speed.. the higher the better..
most say class 4 is plenty fast for just about everything..some say class 10 would work better if you're trying to watch say a very large video from your sdcard..
personally i think a class 4 or 6 would be enough.
I'm Using Sandisk 32GB Class 4 Memory Card.I Think It Is Best & Enough For My Galaxy Note.
Thanks guys...
I have checked the reviews on Amazon and gone through some of the threads available on this forum. I'm sure Class 4 would work for my requirements. I will choose one..
Thanks again...

I'd recommend the SanDisk MobileMate series, think they're class 4 or 6, good value and excellent stability, as well as speed. Worth a look.

It's worth reading up on transfer speeds versus read/writes for small files versus larger files. If you're only reading/writing large files then class 10s are what you're looking for.
If you're needing it for installing and rilunning apps or other collections of small files then class 4s will have better performance.
I've also read up that samsung are about to release some new standards with much higher data transfer rates, I'm not sure the note will make full use of them, but they'll be quick transers:

**while you're at it, you might want to consider buying 64Gb MicroSDXC instead. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330784
For listening to music or viewing films, classes 4 or 6 are ok (even class 2 from a good manufacturer like SanDisk).
It's when copying large music libraries or films that you appreciate having a class 10 card. And if you intend to use your GN for viewing lots of films, then you'll have to carry copy operations quite often...

about sandisk's bad reviews - a while back they had an ultrabad batch of cards that failed pretty consistently and they gained a bad rap for it - apparently they're better / fixed now, but fwiw, i've had every brand fail on me (literally; patriot, lexar, sandisk etc) but I might be the exception to the usage details as I'm swapping machines all day
My last card was a Lexar 32 c10 and it worked perfectly for over a year. It's now in my wife's G3. I've been using a Sandisk 64 c10 for the last few months and it's also working flawlessly. I think you're fine with either one.
i got the Sandisk 32 class 10
that is the first step to do to start using it now ?

You could simply plug it in to the phone (while it's off of course) and format the card within the phone as well
