For a nook HD, do class 10 cards work? I've read that class 4 is recommended on the HD+, but what about on the HD?

How exactly does a class 10 worse? It is like the freezes the HD+ gets?

No, the difference mainly comes when trying to run a ROM off of the SD. It runs slower. But it also sometimes does not work well for use as a boot CWM card. It may refuse to boot. And lastly, it sometimes will give i/o errors when used as a normal SD and may take more than one attempt to read or write. But that is less troublesome than the first two issues.

Thanks for the info!
It's interesting that a class 4 is faster. How exactly does that work out?
I guess I'll be heading to microcenter for their class 4 cards.

It has to do with small file read/write speed, which class 4 does better than class 10. There is a whole thread devoted to this on the Nook Color forum. It still applies to the HD/HD+ too. See here:

Don't get the micro center brand, though, they're not as good - quite bad actually. Get the SanDisk brand. I I had the micro center brand when I first started, and had to return it for the SanDisk. Not sure what the difference is, but it was significantly faster after I made the switch.
Now I'm running on EMMC so it doesn't matter that much. But if you plan on running the ROM on the card, get the SanDisk.

I've actually sent back my hd for hd+ and now have an option of buying a Samsung class 6 shown here: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/115836/shnoop---3-pack-of-16gb-samsung-class-6-microsd-memory-cards
Would that particular SD card be suitable? I actually will be using all 3 of them so the price isn't bad at all for my needs, but I'm not sure how well these class 6 do on random write. My new hd+ does have 32 go of storage so I suppose I should just install to internal but I'd like to have both stock and custom rom available

Look at this thread. It has benchmarks for various brands and classes. I don't know if that card is in the thread somewhere, but you can search to see.

Thanks for the help. Decided to just give up on stock nook and just install cm to internal and ditch the microsd rom idea. Android really makes it better as a daily driver tab for the family to use.

I am also interested in this
I have done 32 GB but not 64 GB. 32 GB works nicely.
Sent from my PantechP9070 using xda app-developers app
I would also like to know this bit of information. I've done 32 before with no problems. I'm curious about the 64.
I just successfully mounted a 64gb sandisk mircosd I got off of amazon. It was a little tricky getting the phone to recognize it (I had to use minitools to reformat it to FAT32), but I got it working.
I'm running the latest CM10 nightly and semaphore (I also tried it with devil kernel and it was working).
That's great news. You remember which card/class it was? What is the standard card file system? I want it to be compatible with my tablet too.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
Oh sorry, I thought I had posted it. It is a SanDisk Ultra 64 GB microSDXC Class 10 UHS-1. It is supposed to use exFAT, which is what Windows will format it to, but my phone can't recognize it. Maybe newer android devices can, I'm not sure. I have an AT&T Captivate (Galaxy S), so it's a little on the old side nowadays.

That's not true by any means, I have owned many SanDisk products none have which failed. And to be honest the Samsung micro SD's are the ones that have failed more compared SanDisk.

it's true - amazon reviews recommended. also write speed on sandisks is painful-slow for 64gb card (10MB/s), where samsung is 20MB/s - still sucks but twice as fast

Maybe in the phone it might be slow but a micro SD card is not just meant for phone it can go into other things. When I use it in the PC through the adapter I get class 10 speeds if not faster.
Plus I'm not all about the fastest speed I'm more about reliability same thing when it comes to my SSD in my computer.

No joke. I have had 3 32gb class 10 microsd from Sandisk fail in under 1 year. 2 in my Note 2 & 1 just the other day in my Note 10.1 I think there is a known issue with Samsung Galaxy phones & Sandisk cards. Seems mainly like the 32gb ones, but 3 in under a year is seriously redonkulous. I actually had the csr admit there was an issue, & they issued an rma. Supposedly the newer batches of cards are fixed.
Running a 64gb Samsung class 10 & haven't had any problems in almost 6 months.
I guess I just have super magic lucky powers. Then again after getting an eBay dud I learned my lesson.
I think a lot of people buy cheap ebay crap and blame Sandisk.

Sounds like you were lucky enough to get 3 cards from the bad batch that was mentioned 2 or 3 years ago. I haven't read any legitimate articles on a specific incompatibility between Samsung and SanDisk, but rather SanDisk letting a bad batch get cut loose into the wild and now they're fighting mis-information years later.
Sorta like Hitachi fighting their infamous "DeathStar" hard drives or Toyota combating rumors that all of their cars have brake issues.
Sandisk 64gb micro sdcard class 10 I've had it for over a year now no issues at all.

I have 2 64gb sd cards. Both bought on ebay. One SanDisk and another a generic brand. Sad to say my generic brand lasted longer than my SanDisk and still running strong in my Note 2. Both were class 10. Generic one cost me $20 free shipping and SanDisk was $70.

I think the numerous reports of scandisc failures are enough to keep me away, as I haven't seen anything official about a "bad batch" a year ago. There seems to be a lot of speculation on the why, but one thing is clear they are failing all over the place. Best buy something else.

I had a few different micro cards but in my experience SanDisk hqs worked the best. Been having for several months a SanDisk 64gb class 10 and working great.before I had a Kingston 32gb and failed and before dad I had a 16gb SanDisk from the hd2 days and still have it working good. So I guess my best bet has been SanDisk.

I'm chiming in based on my first hand experience. For the record, I find Sandisk memory substandard. The company fails to stand by its product by deliberately being difficult. If you like playing russian roulette with your data, go ahead. Sooner or later your number will come up! To be fair, this can happen to any storage media manufacturer. But for some reason it seems to be more prevalent with sandik. I've read nothing but great reviews with Samsung memory but I guess that's to be expected.
Currently testing and using a class10 32GB microsd semi-no name brand "A-Data". So far, I'm impressed as one of the best value for the buck. I have a small batch of adata cards and when it passes all my durability tests I will deploy them throughout all my devices.

Great price on Amazon! Picked up the exact same card last week and am using it in my Nook HD+. I have been running CWM10.1 PureSD on it for a week now without any issues. Has booted up from the card every time so far.
I've got that card in my Nook, no problems so far

I just ordered one of these as well. Assuming I use this as a CM bootdisk do I still have the rest of the card as available storage?

I bought a class4 for my new HD thinking that class best as with my older nook tablet. But I just noticed the user guide says class 6 is supported. BUT....is it supported (and STABLE) with CM? I may be able to return the class4 as I didn't open it yet. Especially if class6will speed it up quite a bit? Advice please?

Thanks. Since the B&N Nook HD+ User Guide only listed Class 6 (not higher or lower) for sdcard spec, I wasn't sure a Class 4 would work. But thanks for verifying that's not an issue.
I have a nook HD+ and finally getting around to doing a cm 10 or great mod to it. I haven't done this type of thing since the old nook color. I know back when I did that one there were specific brand and grade of sd cards needed to do the mods. Is that still true. I can get a samsun class 10 pretty cheap but don't know if they will work to mod the device.. please advice thanks

It should work fine. You only have to worry about brand and class if you plan to run the ROM from SD.

SanDisk Class 4 is still the best, although some say the class 10 works passably.
