I'm looking to get a 16GB card and was looking at getting a class 10 for the extra speed over a class 6, with looking to run Debian eventually. Has anyone got one on this phone? Is it worth double the price? The card that comes with the phone seems to be a class 4 as was hovering around 3.5mb/s writing which would be a little slow for Debian.
Any advice would be great.
Cheers
Hi,
here just arrived a Kingston 16GB Class10. The X10 comes with a default Class2 microSD wich is quite poor in writing speed. With the Kingston, that for the moment I have only tested with HDTune benchmark, I see that reading speed does not reach any further improvement (always 17MB/s), instead writing speed is great: never less than 12MB/s (the stock microSD rarely goes over 6 - 7MB/s in sequential write).
I will make a complete report pretty soon
Thanks for the report, I think I'll get the same. Even without running apps or Debian from it, the stock card is too slow in copying files to keep it.
Cheers
Is there an app that one can use to find out what class the SD card is?

Yeah, but it's buried in the phone. To access it, take off the battery cover, remove the battery, then take out the microSD card. The "class" number is written on the card itself, as a circle with a number on it.
Note, you've probably got a class 2.

notice the 10 with a C around it? the X10 comes stock with a Class 2 16gb MicroSD
if it doesn't say anything its a class 2
Hi,
I am having some fun with my new too-sexy Class10 microSD 16GB by Kingston In ensures always more than 10 MB/s in writing!

As Lancealot already told, there is ISO specification made by the SD Card Association:
SDHC Cards have to look like this:
As you can See there must be a SD(HC) Logo and the Speed Class Logo (sometimes "Class2" - or just "2")
If you buy one look that this card as those information...
SDHC Cards shouldn't look like this:
Incorrect Logo
OR
No Logo

Why do you want an Class 6 SDHC Card? For shure not for your PPC, at least I never saw a PPC witch can use the Speed of an Class 6 Card. I got an 8 GB Class 4 microSDHC and the PPC can't use the speed, the Cardinterface is too slow. With an cardreader I can copy 4GB of data (1:1 ratio of small an big files) in about 3-4 min.

Hi
I have searched but been unable to find a definitive answer. I apologise though if it is in the forum and I did not see it. Has anyone managed to get an 8GB class 4 micro sd SDHC card, e.g. Sandisk, working with an MDA Vario II running WM5 with the SDHC upgrade installed?

Can anyone with an X10 tell me if they have used a 32gb SD card on the X10?
Phone shops I have been to have no idea and aren't able to test this for me by opening up a box and putting a 32gb card in the phone.
Perhaps since the 32gb microSD card was released only 23 March 2010 the information on most websites is from 2009?
I find it hard to believe the hardware in this phone can only support 16gb.
Can anyone with the phone and microSD card let us know the real capacity please?
good point, i´d really like a 32gb card in my x10 when it comes!!!
I haven't used it, but the articles I read about the early 32GB cards to market said they use standard SDHC, and thus should be compatible with all SDHC-compliant hardware. Anything beyond 32GB will be using a newer standard that will require specific compliance (as SDHC did before).
kakahara, we have all got together and voted that you should buy one and test it out. We want you to know up front we appriciate you taking one for the team!
Will get mine soon(today or top a day or so from now) then i will try it out.

That's likely because when the page was put up, 32GB MicroSD cards didn't exist. Sandisk released the first one only two weeks ago. According to The Inquirer's article, it *should* work in most devices that support 16GB cards.

Thanks for the confirmation.
Has anyone seen the 32gb cards out in the wild? (retail stores)
Seems like you can only order from SanDisk's own website.
Been getting mixed reviews and different pricings but I just can't seem to find a good card. Do you guys have any suggestions? Been caught up between the lexar, adata, and pny. I also heard that class 4 are sometimes faster. I just want a good card with the most memory (cause some cards come with like 28gb instead of the full 32gb), good read/write speed, lifetime warranty, at a ok price point. Can you guys help?

for price and reliability, I agree, patriot is a good card. for about 75-80 dollars I think its worth it. until sandisk makes one I wouldn't pay the higher prices for any of the other ones. but I could only imagine if sandisk did make one it would probably be $150!

hi, I'm looking to buy a 64GB MicroSDXC card
do they compatible with photon ?
can anybody who have them give some inputs ?
thank you.
No, the Photon only supports microSDHC, and like you said, the 64gb (also, anything over 32gb) is classified as microSDXC.
32gb + 16gb internal should be more than enough anyways, provided you use it wisely.
If you absolutely NEED that amount of space, some users were able to use the Photon as a USB host and attach an external USB flash stick using a special USB-F-MicroUSB-M

The current 64GB cards are generally backwards compatible with SDHC in a lot of devices.

I have a Sandisk 64 card - haven't tried it in my Photon, but it works fine in my Xoom and Cowon J3 MP3 player (linux).
So, I don't know for sure. (My Photon battery cover plastic clips won't take too many more removals or I'd try it)

Cool - good to know, thanks for the post.
I figured it would work fine in the Photon since it seems to work in about everything else with a SDHC 3.0 compatible slot.
And I got my spare battery cover via eBay today, so may try it soon.

Let me better explain my "No big difference, so I went back" comment. I had a 16Gb SanDisk Class 4, I was happy. I got 32Gb SanDisk Class 6 for $100.00 and I was happy. I got Komputer 32Gb Class 10 for @ the same. When I compared them read/write, depending on what I was reading or writing, the SanDisk was either faster OR not that far behind, so I went back to SanDisk for the realiabilaty. I now have 64Gb SanDisk Class 6 and I'm happy (Kinda of, there is nothing on it? I either use Google or ZumoCast to acces my desktop at home?)
My suggestion, look for stability, look at the reviews where people smarter than I have done extensive testing. Not all chips are alike. Also, look at your needs. If you take a ton of pictures or video, I assume you would need high write speed. If your a gamer, I assume you would need high read speeds? Just me!
Thanks for the further explanation! I'll probably just pick up the class 6. It's getting rave reviews on Amazon.
Just wondering if anyone has tried a class 10 32gb micro sd card in the S3, and if they could share their experience?
I know some phones start to lag with 32gb cards and write speed for small files (a few kb) is quite poor, but does this affect the S3?
I just ordered a Samsung card but don't know if I should cancel and go for 16gb instead?

im using a samsung 32gb class 10 card myself, no issues here at all, read/write speeds are great.
in my opinion, go for the 32gb card instead, difference in price is pretty small and you can future proof yourself in case you need more space in the future.
try not to go for 64gb cards though, some custom roms require you to format your 64gb cards before they can be used

Then i tried to connect the phone with pc running XP,the same.I formatted the microsd FAT32 through the phone (was connected to pc) but the same again... After that i gave the sd card to a friend who has formatted using Hiren's cd.I inserted sd to the phone i was able to write about 700mb of data and after that was again unable to be written.I decided to buy a new one.It is a SanDisk 32gb class10.the same again.When i connect to the pc is writable...when on the phone..nothing.My phone is rooted running 4.1.1 JB. The same issue was present running official ICS 4.0.4... Any Help-Ideas?!?!? Thank you in advance!!

It costs another $20 extra here. worth a try. what i usually do is check their feedback stars. anyway, this was advertised by eBay itself, so less risk.
Anyway, even known retailers sell cards with fake capacities here. u test these cards on the spot., but it takes some copying of large sized files to find out the card is a fake. just got a 8 gb normal microsd for my nephew.. then discovered thru OTG that the card has a fake capacity as it disconnects and says inadequate space when only 128mb has been used up.
