Buying a NC, which µSDHC should I Buy

Ok, debating between a 16gb Class 4 and a 32GB Class 4. I only buy SanDisk, so brand is set. Just trying to figure out if the huge price difference is worth it for the extra space.

I would say that is a strictly personal decision. In terms of what you will need for "hacking", anything past 8GB is overkill. Most of the roms that you will boot on an SD card (if you even want to do that) do not need more than 4GB.
For other things, i can see users going through data quickly. Movies encoded for the nook can take anywhere from 100-500MB, and Song on average of 3MB. If you are going to make the color a full portable multi-media device, then you might want something big. Otherwise, 16GB will probably cover you.

Based on what I've used on my phone, that's kinda what I was thinking as well. Thanks for the feedback, saves me $50.

I am not sure if the Nook supports 32gb....

If that's the case and you can afford it I would go with the 32gb...
Ever tried DroidTV? I love it. Subscribe to a show and it automatically downloads it to your card..
If your into emulators, the Playstation emulator works great and the games are pretty large..
Movies take up a bunch of space as well..
I am just saying that you will need more space than you think..

If there's a MicroCenter near you, they have a 16GB uSD for sale at $26. The one I bought shows C2, but it tests at C6.

Just an FYI, the Nook Color does support 32 Gig SDHC. I currently have an Kingston 32GB class 4 in mine and it runs great. Not sure if Fry's still has it on sale but I picked up one last week for $69. Not to bad.

64GB card

OK Most of my 32GB card is taken up already with just games and comics. Instead of making another 32GB CM10.1 card for movies and books is there anyone who has gotten a 64GB card to work in their nook hd with CM10.1 ? Im asking because searching came up with this post:
"I use a class 10 sandisk 64gb on both my nook HD and transformer infinity. I believe sandisk and Samsung are the two biggest high end solid state manufacturers. In my experience any card no matter what class has been solid as long as it was made by them. The 64gb sandisk has worked well so far in my nook HD."
But its not very descriptive at all and gives no card model number. Thanks.

I am running my HD+ from a SanDisk 64gb Ultra U1 "class 10" and it's working well for me. I'd need to pull it for the model number.

Tried a 64U CL10 with CM10, constant reboots
Tried with the hybrid install, constant reboots
Now on 32
I think answer is YMMV

I [email protected] know about cm10.1 but I have it on stock root

[Q] Root?

IS It able to root this device and use it as a normal tablet without having to dualboot using an SD Card? Or do I just have to buy a Nexus 7?

Hello,
It's completely upto you which tablet you'd like to prefer. If you'd like to jump straight to the Android experice with no hassle, and go mainstream, I would probably just purchase a Nexus 7. If price is the concern, then I guess a Nook is your answer. But I would honestly recommend installing CyanogenMod via a SD Card + Hybrid install for performance and a better experience. Most of us who have installed CM10 have not turned back; and we have correctly done so, and can easily be justified by the experience you recieve. I becomes a full fledged tablet.
Anyway, yes you can root and install Gapps on the Nook's standard ROM. But the default B&N ROM is worse than iOS's restrictions; you cannot do anything! After a root + Gapps, you do get many more features, but you do benefit from a default Jelly Bean interface via CM. I can't explain it, you need to experience it to understand a glimpse of the jibberish coming out of my mouth.
Root + Gapps (thanks to leapinlar): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
That should detail it all.
Again I would recommend CM10 on a hybrid install, if it's the difficulty you're worries about, you shouldn't be, it's easy. Ofcourse, it's your choice.
All the best.

Eh, I dunno how much you can compare the two.
Nexus 7:
Smaller screen
No microsd slot
No HDMI
Standard usb port
Lots of development
HD+:
Bigger screen
microsd slot
HDMI out
non standard usb port
Less development
Nook Usb/HDMI cables are expensive
A 16 gb Nexus 7 ~ $200, and a 16gb Nook HD+ and a 16gb class 10 microsd card is ~$200.

is there a way to store apps on the sd card for the nook hd 7?

i just got kinda bit with an impulse purchase on a nook hd7 8gb version... i did not think about lack of storage.. i just thought how much i liked the hd+ and how it might be nice to get the 7 inch... the lack of storage is an issue.. 8gb is kinda thin... so i was wondering if there is a way to transfer apps to the sdcard. to free up some space... i plan to root this as i did the nook HD+ an put the 10.2 nightly on it... dang impulse purchases... awell... still a pretty cool tablet for 80 bucks..

No, you cannot put apps on the SD with the HD/HD+. But you can swap the SDs so that media files get put on the external SD instead of the internal SD, making more room for apps on internal. Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and read item 4.
