16GB microSDHC class 10 worth it?

Hi,
My apologies if this has already been posted, but I couldn't find a thread about the 16GB class 10 microSDHC cards. I am asking for some positive feedback as to whether or not you all think it is worth it to drop the dough on a class 10, or just save a little and go with the class 6?
I found them to be decently priced at Newegg, Buy.com, and Tigerdirect. The one at Tigerdirect is a class 6k but Newegg and Buy.com are class 10.
I know that a class 10 over a class 6 data transfer speeds will be significantly better when inserted directly into a computer. But, would it be worth it to get a class 10 for my Nexus One, or are there hardware limitations that would still hinder the data transfer speeds from the N1 to a computer? If there are limitations then I will probably save a little money and go with the class 6.
Just looking for an honest answer here.
Thanks to anyone that can give me a little feedback.

Oldish post I know, but I need an answer for this too, I would greatly appreciate one. I've got class 2 and I'm sick of running out of space for apps.
Class 4 is good
But
Class 6 makes apps run smoother
How does class 10 fare to both? I had a feeling it was not by much.
Thanks.
I'll be using this for my overly obese g1.

Now you can get the 32gb exclusively from sandisk and it works well. I'm finally able to fit all my music on it with room to spare. The sandisk site doesn't give a class number though.

Class 2.. Google for SDSDQ-032G-A11M

the read speeds are all basically the same apparently..
i'm using the stock nexus sd card (class 2 or 4 can't remember) and 720p recording works fine, why would you need anything faster unless you are transferring a lot of large files frequently and don't want to have to wait.

i have the sandisk 16gb class2 and its running smooth. takes a moment to transfer, but not too long. A2SDext works like a charm. no lag.

I recently bought Kingston 16GB class 2 and Im very happy with it.
I chose it over the the tests, the write speed is constantly over 6 MB/s so I got "class 6" for the price of class 2

[Q] What class sdcard to buy?

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 use the microSD 8 GB I had in my Nokia 5800 and I do not know the class membership, but I like it here because we have spent nothing

I have 64GB class 6 i believe.

I have 32GB Samsung class 10 and I'm very satisfied with it, only 35 Euros

I'm using Lexar 16gb class 6, worth the price, the performance is near a class 10 microsd.

In my sensation, on a class 4 8GB card, i got 13 MBps full Hd recording and on same card but LG 2X, i get 18~19 Mbps fullHd video
I don't think class matters that much....
By the way i use internal SD storage for camera and later transfer to extrnal SD

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

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)

Class 4 or Class 10 memory card?

Hi
obviously class 10 would be better but in the Note does it make much of a difference regarding speed/lag?
The class 10 32gb card is priced 15-20 more at a nearby shop so should I save the money and go for the class 4? Thanks

recently I switched from Toshiba class 4 16GB to Lexar Class10 32GB.
The 32GB class 10 is much faster when you copying files but for general use (photo taking, music playing, video playing, video recording)
honestly don't notice any difference

as said, a class 4 is suitable, only time you will notice a difference is usb transfer speeds

As darkinners mentioned, if you want the FASTEST, go for a class 10.

He also said it doesnt make much difference...so class 4 it is

[Q] Memory card for galaxy note

I want to buy a 32gb memory card for my galaxy note. I want to know which class memory card should I buy. I am getting 32gb sandisk class4 card @1.9k and 32gb sandisk class 6 @3.9k. What benefits will i get with a class 6 card. please help !!!

You'll just be able to dump content faster to the card with a higher class.

by class 6 you must mean the new sandisk ultra series (red color cards).
if you gonna use your card mainly for storing apps and other such random access stuff go for class 2/4.
if its for HD video recording, large file transfers, etc (sequential read/write) go for class 6/10.
btw, for HD video playback even class 2/4 is sufficient. although there is an advantage for HD recording when going for higher classes.
also, if you meant the class 6 sandisk ultra, most of the reviews as well as users say that its much faster than most of the class 10 disks in the market, including class 10 sandisks.

Thanks for ur reply. Yes the class 6 card is the Red Mobile Ultra one. I wanted to know what kind of problems I may face with a class 4 card while 1080P video recording and is class 6 really worth almost double the price?

I went for a class 10 and it seems alright. Not overly impressed with the speeds though. But no issues with HD recording.

If you are shooting 720p or higher videos with lower class, you may experience stuttering in the video as the card isn't rated for high throughput data transfers. I'm not saying that it will happen every time, but that is the reason you should go for higher class cards if that is your main purpose. Higher class cards have higher sequential write speeds, which is what you need for saving pictures more quickly and for recording HD video. Lower class cards have much higher random access speeds, which are needed for someone who uses lots of apps.
so if you store all apps internally and keep the external card only for multimedia, you could blindly go for class 6/10. you get very fast data transfers also (PC to Note).
this class 6 mobile ultra is very new. it could actually be a good compromise between class 4 and 10. but don't worry too much. just stick to sandisk
you can also check this one. looks good and priced well for a class 10.

have a read of this paper http://static.usenix.org/events/fast12/tech/full_papers/Kim.pdf and see what card suits your needs

imho class 4 is enough for u to store mkv video file, it's for me.

Guyz I have decided for Sandisk class 6 card. But now the problem is as I see. sandisk 32gb class 6 @ 50$ and sandisk 64gb class 6 @ 111$. Out of these 2 which one do you recommend. THanks in advance !!!

If you can afford it then obviously the 64GB is better, but i would get a UHS-I if i were you.

Haven't got my Note yet, my question is regarding internal memory vs lower class external interm of speed as you said lower class will have stuttering and slow in saving pictures. What if I use my internal storage as the main temporary storage for taking HD video and picture, would it stutter like you mention?
Then when I'm done recording, I just transfer the recorded HD video to my external card. Would that make scene?
I want to use my internal memory as a temporary storage and will move my data to external card when doing house keeping. Would clearing internal storage enhance overall phone speed performance?

Class 4 or 6 memory card - experiencing stutter with class 4

Just got my fantastic new galaxy camera from john lewis - ITS AWSOME
It came installed with 4.1.2 so straight away could play
Question however I have put in the camera my class 4 32gb sandisk memory card and notice I get occasional stutters between shots or when im reviewing can take a little time
Question is a class 6 Samsung 32gb card going to stop the stutter
The camera is smooth as silk when im going between screens etc but I have noticed a little slow down during
picture taking and review ..
I love the Samsung remote view software its awesome and it works perfect on my phone
the picture on my phone is a little pixelated but when I take the shot I can view the pic on my camera and also mobile and its perfect
I am well impressed and cant get out in the snow tomorrow
Thanks in advance
Chris

Any suggestions ?

In theory, the faster the better but having said that, I noticed a micro stutter or two AFTER I updated to 4.1.2 with the same card in place. So it may not necessarily be anything to do with the card you have.

Ive ordered a class 6 Samsung card as I needed one anyway as my wife was peeded off at me because I nicked hers from her mobile.
I ordered a 32gb one and am hoping a samsung brand will work with a samsung camera .

Hello @mancuk29, was the class 6 micro SD better? I don't know wich one to buy.
Thanks

Don't waste time and money on a class 4 or 6 Micro SD card.
You need a Class 10 minimum for recording full HD video or that won't work and you won't get any stutter or lag from a 10 as the write speed is high enough for the 13MP or above to write the picture to the memory card.
You can spend more money on the Samsung ultra card but they are more for higher transfer of bigger files i.e. 1GB or above on a laptop or Chromebook. As the GC is using fat32 file system, it won't support transfer of files over 1GB in size. You would need to use NTFS file system for that. But as a photo won't (or never should be) over 1GB in size, then a normal Class 10 Micro SD card will suffice.
Hope this helps.
