What memorycard is to prefer?

Hi all!
What memorycard is to prefer?
I know it is microSD, but there's so many different microSD's out there so how will I know which one to choose? (classes, speed a.s.o.)
If we don't care about memory size (4-8-16GB) what is the very best to use?
Best memory?
Best memory/$?
What memory NOT to use?

I picked up an A-DATA 8gb Class 6 microsd card (US$35) to use once I get the Touch Pro. I haven't used it yet, but I also have the 4gb version (US$15) which works great.

DO NOT BUY.
That's SDHC, not MicroSDHC...
32 gig Micros aren't available yet.

This is a totally personal opinion. You will find that among us professional geeks, we have brand preference.
When It comes to Solid State Media, I always pay a little more the get a SanDisk item from a reputable dealer.
Every Card CF or SD or my MicroSD, has been SanDisk Manufactured and I've never been disappointed.

OK guys, thx for your input!
@JimmyMcGee: Yeah, I too has allways payed a little extra when choosing between some things, in most cases it's clearly that you get what you payed for, I mean, even if you look beyond brand names a.s.o. there often is a difference between the cheap and the more expensive ones.
But my reson for this Q was foremost to clarify the speed and class issue, is someone better then the other, so except brand, what more do I need to consider?

I bought a Scandisk 8gb. Play.com have them for £16.99 with free delivery.
I found this after i ordered the same from mobymemory which was more expensive.

I am also looking for a microSD card for my future friend Raphael.
I want the fastest 8 GB MicroSD card available that can be used in Raphael. €10 more or less, I dont care but I dont want to pay for overkilling the spec.
What MicroSD do you recommend, if not this one that I have found:
SanDisk Mobile Ultra 8GB microSDHC
http://www.i4u.com/full-review-447.html
Would it work fine in a Raphael?
Have anyone used it in an other HTC?

Simple:
Dont buy a memory that don't have "C" logo with class number in it.
If it doesn' have it, there's probably nothing to be proud of.
Currently you can get a decent-prized "class 6" memory with 4 GB or 8 GB capacity.
Class 6 is faster than Class 2 and Class 4 of course.
Cheers,

bought a sandisk 8gb microsd sdhc card .. 7700 mb free
they sell it at mediamarkt for 40€
@corsa2: this is probably the same card it is pretty fast and works fine as these are designed for mobile phones

Just buy a SanDisk. Work out how much memory you are likely to need - get a card with more than you require and MAKE SURE ITS A SANDISK! this will avoid fighting for refunds, hours trying to reformat, burnt dinners cause you are engrossed in the problem, angry women who just don’t understand why you don’t pay them any attention anymore, females who fight back when you loose you temper cause your new "good value" f'n card has failed and you refuse to accept the fact - BUY A SANDISK... I don’t work for SanDisk but they do work for me and will probably work for you…
Just bought a Touch Pro... will update my sig when I've decided which ROM to install...
Rgs,

SanDisk Mobile Ultra 8GB is superb!
Bought this one for my MDA Vario IV (T-Mobile branded HTC Touch Pro) for 40 euro at the Phone House (Netherlands). This class 6 micro SDHC was 10 euro more expensive than a class 4 device, but worth every cent!!
I've used several brands micro SDHC cards, but i'll stick to SanDisk now, maybe more expensive but reliable: no issues at all for about 3 years of use in my PPC's.

I don't have a Touch Pro yet (that will change in around 3-4 days though), but I do have a Sandisk 8 Gb class 4 card, which is very good but unfortunately isn't sold anymore, now there's only class 2 and 6 (which is extremely expensive).
I tested it with H2testw and got the following results:
Test finished without errors.
You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.
Writing speed: 11.4 MByte/s
Reading speed: 16.8 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4
I was wondering if anyone with a class 6 card could do the same test?

Hello there, just bought a PNY Micro SDHC Premium 8 Go ... but it's not recognize by the phone ... do you think that it can be solve by a Rom update ?

There are a number of dependable cards out there. Amazon has user feedback on each of their cards which can be useful to help you decide which card is best for you. Which ever card you chose, make sure you format it before you use it. Put the card into a card reader and format it FAT32 on your computer at least once. The ROM should not be a factor in you device reading your card, FORMAT the card...David.

Ok thx for the information
Formating was the first thing I did after trying it in the phone ... but didn't help
I bought the PNY because It's suppose to be a good brand, and never thought it would not work with my phone
Guess I gona have to buy an other one
Thx

I bought a 16gb Toshiba MicroSDHC card yesterday for $50. So far so good--I put it in and it has been working flawlessly. Hope I'm not jinxing myself! lol

IMHO I don't think it really matters but I have always used Sandisk and have been quite happy.....

i use a-data since i find it to be the cheapest. i've used 4 and still use them. no data loss or failure yet. oh and i just ordered another just for my fuze. 8gb ($18 shipped)

What is the best SD card for the Hero?

Heya,
I'm sure this topic has been discussed but I can't seem to find a clear answer. It's obvious that the HTC Hero is somewhat temperamental with certain makes and classes of Micro SD, or the assumed Class 6 isn't always as fast as people hope.
In my case the 2gb stock card is just going to be too small so I'm keen to purchase the biggest card the phone will support (which is 16gb?) or 8gb. Is there a card in particular which stands out as being the best (in terms of speed) for the HTC Hero at these sizes?
Thanks

i think the biggest possible micro sdhc card is 32gb, but i´m not sure and it was not worth to me so i bought a 16gb and it works perfect

Are there 32GB micro sd cards available?

find Sandisk 32GB micro SDHC is already available for pre-order, but no specific date of release.
I just bought a Sandisk 16GB micro sd (class 2), appears faster then the 2gb stock card.
Try to search some technical reviews of different SD card with statistics. Much better than relying on "CLASS".

Class is important
Hi, I would say that in a price/performance view you should go for a 8GB class 6 card right now. The class says how fast the card can transfer data. Class 2 does 2MB/s. Class 6 does 6MB/s.
32GB is the limit of the SDHC format. I have 8GB now and I guess I upgrade to 32GB later when prices get better.

for sandisk, class 2 = class 4, class 4 = class 6.
as i know, some class 2 is actually much faster than the standard minimum speed.

I have an 8 gig in my phone but its having trouble rescanning the card i have like 4 gigs of music on it and I think thats too much for the phone to scan, that would be my only thing to maybe consider.
Ps if anyone has a solution for my problem that would be great haha

Unless you despareately need to store A LOT of data on your phone get the fastest card rather than the largest.
8GB SanDisk Class 6 card is about £17.
16GB SanDisk Class 6 is nearly £50.
Prices will drop rapidly so for now I'd go for 8GB at 6MBPS over 16GB or 32GB at a lower speed.

Hi - Following on from this, has anyone used a 32GB card and proven it works. I'd hate to get one and find out that it's incompatible with the G2 Hero.

32GB microSD cards are out?!

The 16GB Class 6 you list doesn't seem like that much of a stretch to me, it is a wee bit over twice the price, but not ridciulously so (i.e 3x the price). It is the best MicroSDHC card that money can buy, and the transcend one I've got is nice and fast (pretty sure it was less than £50 too, now that I think about it).

Nup, no 32GB MicroSDHC cards as yet fellas, all the sites I've seen, list the Sandisk one for Pre-Order, but its been like that for 6 months, so maybe they're planning for a 2010 release?

Err is that spam?

any offical word or tests showing that a class 6 will work to its full speed... rumor I have heard is the hardware in the hero (us version) will utilize up to class 2 speeds.
(Not to say a class 6 wont work. just that it will only be reading and writing at class 2 speeds) Can anybody confirm?

I can maintain 6-7MB/s write speak to my 16GB Class 6 which is Class 6 speeds. Not as fast as I'd like (SD speeds), but worlds better than the Nokia N95 8GB I had before which was limited to 800-1000KB/s (only USB 2.0 full speed as opposed to hi speed).

qwiksand, is that from your hero or from a card reader?
I am trying to find the source now but cant rummage up my history; i swear i read an email from HTC saying the card reader in the Hero was a class 2 reader, thus nullifying any performance increase from a class 4 or 6 card.

hmm, you're making me doubt myself now!
I'll do a speed test today both in the phone, and out.

Likewise,I'm sure I read an official source saying that it would only make use of 16GB irrespective of the size of the card. Sounds more dubious but I'm not going to risk it with my own money!!

Any updates? Want to get one on black friday

As what i know G3 Hero only support up to 16gb sd/sdhc card.
As the class on those card are for writing speed & reading speed is all the same.
edit: i have found some news frm somewhere...
Good Morning Frank,
Thank you for taking the time to contact HTC America Technical Support via E-Mail with your inquiry about what class of SD card to use in your Sprint HTC Hero. My name is A.J. and I will be happy to assist you today.
If you are looking to purchase an SD card that the device will read at its full native speed you will need to purchase a class 2. The device will read a class 4 but not at its native speeds.
Frank, if you have any future questions about your device please feel free to visit HTC - Touch Phone, PDA Phone, Smartphone, Mobile Computer and send us another e-mail. You may also enjoy HTC Smartphone Wiki - HTC, which has a plethora of information on HTC devices, including the Sprint HTC Hero! I would also like to invite you to participate in a customer satisfaction survey located at HTC Online Survey I hope you have a great day!
HTC America Technical Support
A.J.

According to HTC's website the Hero can use SD 2.0, SD 2.0 is another way of saying SDHC, just like devices that are compatible with standard SD, the device is expandable to the limit of the format. Therefore, the Hero CAN do 32GB because it is SDHC compatible. Only problem is the 32GB Cards have yet to be mass produced.

HD2 Largest Micro SD card?

Hey guys,
Whats the largest micro sd I can place in my Leo... Currently have an 8 GB in there but am quickly filling it since having movies / music on it like no tomorrow!!
Any help would be great, thanks dudes.

You didn't find the answer anywhere on the net? In that case, they can hold a max of 128GB.

I've got a 16GB in mine and it works perfectly. I'll get a 32GB but want the price to drop before I do. They're still quite pricey.
16GB is suiting me fine. I have a seperate 8GB one for putting movies and stuff on. It just means I have to have CorePlayer installed on the device so I can switch cards and still play movies.
Edit:
Ignore the above comment by lude219. 128GB cards won't be available until next year at the earliest. 32GB is currently the largest on the market. There will be 64GB (and possibly 48GB) soon, but not yet.

Thank you johncmolyneux, I think I might wait a bit and get a 32gb just to be sure!
Thanks for your help dude.
*Any mods may now close this thread as I have had a helpful answer.*

can't find any 32gb micro sds on amazon or ebay? only normal sized SDHC cards.

Samsung expect their 32GB to be in the market by February according to their recent announcement, I expect Sandisk will want to be released for sale by then also.
Class 6 cards are available from non-Sandisk manufacturers by the way.

im guessing the will charge a ridculous amount...probs about £50 or some ****

16 Gb is the maximum today.
There is NO 32 gb on the market at this time, but expected.

is that because of hardware or software? i had an old HTC Excalibur that ran winmo 5.0 back in the day. got a 8 gig card that wouldn't read in it until i flashed it to winmo 6.5. after that, it read the card no problem. funny thing is the 'fine folks' over at T-Mobile assured me that nothing over 4GB would ever work in my phone.
so i wonder, with our devices being able to run winmo, android, different variations of linux, etc... could it be just a software problem?

The HTC HD2 can only hold up to a 32 gig 2.0 Micro SD card. Click the link for proof, notice the "Expansion" in the spec list, oh yeah this is straight from HTC.

interesting info
so i started surfing around, looking for more info on this topic. i found a thread from another forum citing some interesting conversation regarding the same issue. to quote from page 5 of that forum...
"What the SD 4.0 specification will add is another pin to SDXC cards which will enable the higher read/write speeds. The rest of the pins will still be present and will still act exactly like they used to. So SDXC cards will always be compatible with SDHC readers, you just won't be able to read/write from them at 300mbit/s. And that's where a firmware update can't change things; no firmware update will allow the camera to use an SDXC card at its full, currently-non-existent future speed because that extra pin interface won't be present.
'But a firmware update CAN add support for exFAT, so all the other benefits of SDXC can in fact be added to our cameras through a firmware update. These benefits include higher capacities, larger maximum file size, and faster file deleting (because that's an exFAT feature, not an SDXC feature).
'It should be noted that the higher capacities have nothing to do with exFAT. FAT32 can have volumes up to 2 TB in size. The 32GB limit on SDHC cards was artificially imposed by the SD 2.0 specification, and has now been lifted with SD 3.0. However, the larger maximum file size IS a benefit of exFAT, because files used to be limited to 4 GB on FAT32."
so i gotta think this will also apply to any other device that can physically run an SDHC card.
let the debate begin

Hmmmm interesting conversation there, I read all six pages by the way. The one guy seemed to be pretty sure of himself. But from what he said if you use a SDXC card that uses extFAT in a decice that does not support extFAT. It will reformat it with Fat 32 making it a regular SDHC card without the extra advantage of the higher speeds that a SDXC reader that does support extFAT can use.

right, that's what i got out of it too. but the big bonus there is that even with the reformat, the space on that card is still accessible, be it 'just' sdhc speeds. that's ok though, cuz that's what we're used to. i'd really like some of the xda developers to take a look at this and see what they can do.
on a somewhat related note, there's a program i use on my laptop called 'macdrive' which allows me to view previously unrecognized files and partitions which windows doesn't see naturally. this allows me to tri-boot (linux, mac, and windows) and modify each of those partitions from any one of the systems.
point here, is that even if there is initially a problem reading the data on a sdxc card, it seems that problem is only with the software not hardware and therefore can be modified.
if i could program i'd start experimenting myself.

This is very true, and I am in the same boot as you. I wish I had the dev knowledge and skills to start working on something for this, or a real dev could get there hands on this and see what is possible. I guess the only true way to put this to the test is for someone to get there hands on one of these beast of a SD card (64 to 128 gig what ) and stick it in the HD2 to see what it does.

What Micro SD Card: Class & Brand

Looking forward to finally turning my phone into my day-to-day mp3 player, as well as running debian and apps2sd, I've been reading all the latest threads about sd cards and finally decided the most optimal config is a 16gb class 4.
Reasons:
· Class 6 is unnecessary as the nexus wont really take advantage of it.
· Class 2 may be kind of slow for apps2sd and debian, which I'm looking forward to investigate on.
· 16gb because although 32gb is comming, it will probably be too expensive for me.
Benchmarks:
I've looked through eBay and found a few interesting "offers", both at about $40:
SanDisk 16GB Class 2
TOPRAM 16GB Class 4
I really want a Class 4 for all I've been reading lately, but I can't afford a 16GB Class 4 SanDisk.
Does anyone know anything about "TOPRAM"? I had never heard about it before and I'm wondering if it could be a low-quality card.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

No one knows ANYTHING about TOPRAM?

I've seen ppl complaining on the internet about the device not recognizing the sd card, but i guess that happens sometimes..i think..o.o

I have always used A-Data cards, been happy with them.
here are some speed test people have done http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/SDCardSpeedTests

I use and trust PNY class 4 sd cards never failed a year in my rooted g1 and still going with apps2sd and so far with my nexus

With all the talk about SD card speeds I've been seeing lately, I was starting to regret buying the SanDisk 16gb class 2 and not getting a Class 6. But after looking at this chart, I can't imagine why I would need more speeds than that?

I have a 16GB Team Class 6 from ebay

I'm using a Polaroid 16gb class 2. Seems to be working fine for me, even running apps2sd.

I have an 8gb class 6 from RiData. seems fine to me, used on my MT3G, HD2 and now my N1.
i do agree with you though that a 16gb class 4 might just be the best cost/performance

Since we are talking about storage memory, I have a slightly unrelated question. Which is the better, microSD or internal storage that comes with some of the phones out there? In terms of speed, reliability, and cost, which one is better?

With regard to Class 6 - don't write it off if you plan to remove the card from the phone to do movie or music transfers. There are a lot of microSD adapters for computers that can exceed the performance of a Class 6 card and so if you are commonly hooking it up to a computer to transfer media then you'll be glad you went with a Class 6.
Now, if the capacity gets high enough to store all of my music, then I won't care about that issue, but personally I can only store a subset of my music on my microSD card so I do worry about the speed when attaching it to a computer...

i have that TOPRAM sd card on my nexus one i got from amazon Usa and it work very well

Class2 is definitely slower
I've used classes 2, 4 and 6 in an HTC Magic. I used apps2sd with Cyanogen Mod.
My own experience was that Class2 was definitely slower when using apps2sd. But Class4 and Class6 were better...and didn't appear to be much different. I had Class6 sdcards anyway as that is what was recommended for most of a year. They performed well.
The last ones I bought were Class 6 8GB Transcend MicroSDs for NZ$40 each (US$28-ish). That included 12.5% GST.

[Q] [04 Mar] Micro SD Vs SDHC

Advanced apologies for the newbie question...
HTC HD2 phone
upgraded yesterday to 3.14rom
looking for bigger than 2gb class2 MicroSD card for android OS
Almost bought Micro SDHC 8g class 6 card but checked logo inside phone by the SD card and it displays Micro SD. Seller of SDHC suggests compatible devices will show the SDHC logo.
So.. I called HTC support UK and they said it only supports Micro SD - although I think he just ready the webpage I was looking at rather than expressing knowledge through personal experience.
SDHC cards obviously have bigger capacity and seem to be more available with higher classes. looking at amazon/play.com/etc
On here (great site btw) people seem to be talking of SDHC cards in HD2's with no problems.
So for an HD2 phone running Android off the card, which is it, SD, SDHC or both?
Recommendations welcome

SDHC cards obviously have bigger capacity and seem to be more available with higher classes. looking at amazon/play.com/etc
On here (great site btw) people seem to be talking of SDHC cards in HD2's with no problems.
So for an HD2 phone running Android off the card, which is it, SD, SDHC or both?
Recommendations welcome

Well I think you are little bit confused so let me clear this up. The SDCard that is used on our device are called microSD (2GB) and microSDHC (8GB,16GB,32GB) as HC means High Capacity. Now don't confuse it with SDHC which is another standard of its own and its bigger as it will not fit in the mSD slot. Now that being said don't worry about the logo as we are using SD2.0 it is capable of accepting 32GB cards.
Forget amazon and ebay if you don't understand how to thoroughly verify it as you might get fake card which is hexed as it will read curtain quota but actually is much less. Go visit NewEgg and buy it from them as they do have cheap card with decent price and if something goes wrong you can RMA it.
Now the last part is the quality of the card which will depend on the wear level and life expectancy of it. Far as the class goes all it means it at the worst condition it has to meet that requirement. Now that does not mean class 2 can't won't be getting class 4 speed. Go with Kingston or SanDisk as its good for general consumer like you. I myself had Kingston 32GB Class 4 on HD2 which I won't recommend as that is another thread by itself
