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.

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.

Help me to choose a Memory card

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.

I use class 10 card because they have a better read/write time as an class 4 Card.

Currently using SanDisk 32GB class 4.
The speed is good enough for me.

Lexar 32 GB Class 10. One of the cheapest and fastest.

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:

Mine is a Sandisk 32 Gb Class 2, I'm one of the suckers who bought the first time a 32Gb MicroSD got released and payed double the current price..
But it is good enough, I can play large movies up to 3+Gb
**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...

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.

Just get a standard Class 10 mSD card. Unless of course you want 64GB in which case you would want to get the SanDisk Ultra 64GB

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...

I bought a SanDisk Micro SDXC but only 32GB

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.

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

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.
