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.
Play.com have a PNY class 10 16gb card for 17.99 which I have in mine

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.

Recommended Micro SD Cards That Work w/G2x

Hey guys if you guys could post some links of compatible or recommend me some 16gb/32gb micro SD cards that work with the G2x that would be great. I live in the USA.

All microSD brands should work...

OKay I was reading reviews and notice some don't work with Android devices. This one in particular.

The Lexar 32gb class 10 supposed to be good And you will probably need a class 4-10 because of writing while your filming 1080p... you dont want any lag
JD

Yes, the Lexar 32GB works absolutely fine and is class 10, which is a MUST with such a fast phone.

I bought a Wintech 16gb Class 10 at Fry's on sale for 29.99 months ago. Works well with Samsung Galaxy S phones and my LG G2X. Sure beats the silly Class 2 that came with the Galaxy phones. Its normal price is about $32. The Wintech 32gb Class 10 is 89. These are legit class 10 micro sd cards and I have benchmark tested them. Don't buy fake crap sold on Ebay from China. Beware as they sell 4gb micro sd cards labeled as 16gb and class 10. Try putting more than 4 gb total in the card and it says storage is full.

Okay thanks guys.

I'm chinese,agree with you,DONT buy sd card from china, sufferring from the fake card,sigh

I'm about to get my G2X later this week and I was wondering the same thing.
Do I really need a Class 10 though?
Also... what's a good size'd card for someone who wont be going crazy with the 1080p camera?
I just want to add a few movies here and there on the phone plus apps and music with some room for misc docs.
I'm looking for the combination of speed/capacity/and affordability.
Anymore suggestions?
Thanks
ps. sorry if I'm hijacking your thread.

16gb card is enough for that usage and doesnt cost much.

Thanks. What class would you recommend?
Regardless of class, I think I'll start out with a 16g and see how that goes. I'm pretty sure I'll be fine. I'll spend the bigger bucks on a 2-4 gig class 6-10 for a dedicated dSLR with 1080p recording.

bump

any good recommendations from online sellers, since i'm in AU most instore are a rip offf

Recommend a SD card size

What size sd card should I get? Would 2gb be fine?

If you're gonna be installing a lot of software you should probably go with 4+. I believe 2 is sufficient if you have it on hand

Thanks

Yes I just got a sandisk 16GB Extreme Class 10 45MBPS for 17.00 prime free shipping

Also RPi has a micro SD card adapter, so I am using my old micro SD card from old phone. They are available at adafruit.com or ModMyPi.com. they are cheaper at adafruit.com
Sent from my GT-I9300

The minimum size SD card I would recommend is 8 GB, also check out this list of SD cards that are known to work well with the RPi and this list of SD cards to avoid and that are known to cause problems and not work.

I think 16Gb 10class SD card is best of speed*size/price.

I looking on sandisk extreme 8GB. But I've read that rpi with some kernels have boot problems with some really fast cards.
Sent from my LG-SU660 using xda premium

I you are pretending to really use the rPi as a "real computer" everyday, install softwares, development kits, etc I would recommend a 8GB or more SD card, they are not expensive(as a guy said, a 32GB card will cost less than 30 bucks in USA. This is difficult here in Brazil, today I bought a 8GB MicroSD card for 30 dollars). If you want to use the rPi for small things, Chrome OS or something like that I think that a 4GB card will be fine.

I Picked myself up a couple of these at the start of this year, Class 10's and on the known Good List and only 20GBP at the moment, which is a bargain. Now all I need a RaspPi to go with it

You can be happy getting the 512MB version then, so waiting isn't that bad.
OT: 4GB ist enough for almost everything, but then its recommended to mount /home onto an external drive for storing user data.

Recommendations for micro sd

My 16 gig kingston filled up quite rapidly after 2 weeks so I'm looking in getting a 32 or 64 micro sd but not sure what I shall get.
I see theres sdhc sdxc but not sure whats the differences.
I read theres issues with sandisk so I was thinking of either samsung lexar or kingston.
Also does the note 2 use the class 10 cards to its fullest as in its max read/write speeds?
I've read its pointless paying extra for the class 10 cards since the note2 dont use it to the fullest
Thanks in advance for any replies

either buy 32gb or 64gb any company OTHER THAN SCANDISK ............................it Sucks big time. i have scandisk 32gb and it keeps on unmounting mounting every now and than .

sandisk 64gb class 10

The Note II can use a 64 gb sdcard. I would only use a class 10. Its way quicker tranferring files, or taking videos. Also you can use SD-Booster. Download from the Play Store. Its free. You can tell the sdcard at what speed to be ruiing at. 2048, 4096, etc, etc. Phone must be rooted to use.

I have and currently use the ScanDisk Extreme 64GB SDXC class 10 card. I haven't had, or at least noticed, any issues while using it. I just formatted the card right away when I installed in the phone.
You may want to install directorybind. I believe you need root. A lot of app install on the phone's storage, not on the SDcard. So you may want to check if your card or phone storage filled up. Other than that, I would suggest moving pictures and videos off your phone if you have a lot.

If you use a swap file on the SD card, it will go bad way faster than normal. I avoid using the card for a swap file.

Lexar
I've been using a Lexar 32GB Class 10 Micro SDHC card for many months. Both in the Note 2 and previously to that in an S3 -- no issues ever. No crashes, no unmounts, no corruption, etc.

I got mine when amazon had them for $40. I got two. One is in a tablet, no issues. The one in the GN2, I originally put in my Evo 4G and it worked fine; it couldn't get class 10 speed, but worked very well with Boot Manager

Thanks for all the replies
I just bought a kingston 64gb sdxc class 10 earlier @ frys for $40 after tax.
They have a sale expire tonite it was just a weekend sale and I was lucky to grab the last 1

Definitely worth every penny

Get a Samsung branded one to avoid the mounting and unmounting problems. Ivd go that route when my 32gb dies.

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.
