Which SD to buy ?

I have been using Sandisk 16GB Class 4 for a while now, and I need to increase my storage (32GB)
I am confused between these two cards:
Samsung 32GB Class 10 for 1599 INR (29.43 USD)
Sandisk 32GB Class 4 for 1216 INR (22.38 USD)
Which one should I go for ?

If your not looking for fast write speeds or using as a "swapped" internal memory, just go for the class 4, never pay more than you need for memory cards, they date to fast.

I thought greater speed (class10) would be nice,
I was just wondering if samsung is good against sandisk or not ?
Also does samsung cards work with WP7 ?

i am using samsung class 6
16gb
and it works flawlessly for wp7 and native sd (android)

Why not go for the 64GB cards that are available now? They are selling for around $50 (for a SanDisk class 10 even) and they work great in an HD2. See my posts about this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33028241&postcount=9 Basically the same post here as well, but I added a bit more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33102891#post33102891 You can never have too much storage space.

Be careful with class 10 cards as for phone memory use they are not the best.
Good quality class 4 or 6 is best all round card with better sequential speeds that are more in line with phone usage thus better performers & cheaper/easier sourced plus less prone to issues/compatibility ...

i use sandisk

I bought the Samsung 32GB Class 10. It is really fast. I'm using Android via NAND and you can improve your smartphon experience by upgrading your system with this card a lot.

I use a 16GB class 10 Sandisk micro sd

I use SanDisk Ultra microSDHC UHS-1 8GB card.
Worked very well with JellyTime NativeSD ROM and now with WP7 ROM 8858. So cheap and lightning fast. I recommend it for everyone, great memory card!

I use 32 GB Class10 Transcend Extrem Speed (Ultimate), this card has a very well performance with WP7 and NativeSD.
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1582172
Second place in random speed (4k R/W)!
Which is important for WP7, NativeSD or Nandroid with A2SD, DataOnExt, ect.

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 ?
format on computer or plug it to the phone directly ?

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

I have done that too as well. I recently bought a 32gb micro sd for my Note2 sgh-i317 and for my gs3 a 64gb micro sd sgh-i747

[Q] MicroSD card for Xperia Z

Hi.
From next week I will be proud owner of Xperia Z phone. Please, do recommend fast memory card. I used class 10 Samsung on Desire.
Now, I see that Samsung have Class 6 Plus, which are supposedly very fast.
In Croatia, there is nowhere to find SanDisk cards, so I will stick with Samsung.
So, my question is - which card to buy:
This - 16GB MicroSDHC Pro Class 10
or this - 32GB MicroSDHC Plus Class 6
Price is nearly the same (16GB is 3USD cheaper).

Both are ok.
only that the 32Gb must be formated in the device.will not be able to read it if you already have data on.(on non-rooted firmware as in my case)

Class 10

depending on the amount of data you have, if its not more than 10 GB i would definitely recommend Class 10. I have sandisk class 10 16GB in my XZ and i tried a 32GB class 6 the difference is very visible. if you can afford go for the 32GB class 10.
Also dont forget that you would need to format the card inside the phone for optimal performance

On Desire I used 8GB class 10, and had 6GB available couse 1,6GB was EXT4 partition. Of those 6GB on Fat32, I used 60-70% max with pics, music and recorded videos. So, better to buy smaller but faster, than larger but slower ?

It's up to you really, it depends on how much space you need. You are not going to be using the SD to hold any system files with the Z so it's okay that it's not lightning fast, I would go with the 32gb, unless you think that you'll never use that much

if i were you, i'd go for 64gb card.

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.

How long have you been using it? I'm really worried, because I don't want to buy any micro sd cards, because I already bought two 16GB micro sd and they were broken after I copied my files in it :crying:

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.

Thx for the information. Does Sandisk last long, because in my country the Sandisk 64 GB Micro SD Class 10 SDXC is the cheapest. It costs 46 €.

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.

Buy either one/cheapest/the one you can easily get. Choose between Samsung/Transcend/Kingston/A-Data/SanDisk. It is simple SD Card buying, not nuclear science

I use a SanDisk Ultra MicroSDXC 64 Go Class 10, it work PERFECTLY in my SP even if normally it "support only" 32GB .
I just format it in FAT32, because some of root-app (i.e. FolderMount) don't like very much exFAT x)
