Wonder if Touch HD (official rom) can be used with Micor SDHC 8 GB (class 6)?
Seem like internal memory is not enough to carry more MP3 & VDO.
Reports say that it supports up to 32GB microSDHC
Touch HD micro SD
Touch HD is shipped with 8GB micro SD card
Yup Yup, a Sandisk Class 4.
The exact same one I ordered as an extra/spare.
sure
it takes Micro SD 8 G.B version 2
i have SanDisk *_*
sandisk class 4 ? 6 ? hihi

can you give me the reference of the card, as I could order? I can not find it.
It is always Class 2.
the microsd i got in switzerland with the touch HD is class 2 - confirmed!
By the way:
I love the new name you give to it!
touGh HD
is much better and more original than touCh HD. it's really a tough HD!!!

Well in that case I think I'll use my 8gb class 4 in my TOUGH HD and use the class 2 that came with it in my Trinity, not that the speed makes much difference in phones. I see that on www.toppreise.ch they already have the Sandisk 16gb microSD class 2 available for around CHF 80. I'll most likely be jumping for one of those soon
I wonder what this thread has to do with ROM Development???

True, I looked closely at the thread list in this "development" section and it looks like the Blackstone is so new people are just starting threads all over the place without looking. I'm sure when there is some real meat in the development category it will settle down.

I'm sure a Mod will move it into the "Blackstone Accesories" forum. I didn't know it came w/ a card, I already went out and bought a 16Gb Sandisk card for it: http://www.supermediastore.com/sand...ntent=datafeed01&utm_campaign=googleBase - ME

Hint taken
Hi all,
I'm quite sure I had this setting in Villain 5.4, but since I got 5.5, this setting is missing in settings->applications. Is there a way to put it back easily, or maybe my customizing the app2sd script ? Or at least, can I execute the script again sometimes to do it ?
Also, just another question : I know someone who has a 16gb sd card class 2 on a desire (great phone btw) and I said that since he moved his apps to sd, he don't feel any difference, even with class 2. Does it worth buying a class 4 or 6 when these are twice or even more the price ???
Thanks

It very much depends on the quality of the card. My Sandisk 16gb Class 2 card writes at 7.5mb/s, which is faster than the class 6 minimums.

Dave
This is the one I thought buying, because it was the cheaper without being an unknown company
Where did you get yours and at what price ?
Amazon - see here.
Regards,
Dave
OK, thanks, that's the one I saw too just asked to be sure that I have found the best price
now, anyone regarding my first question ?
FYI,...
Here's the one I'm considering at the moment,...
Transcend 8 GB Class 6 microSDHC Flash Memory Card with adapter
Customer reviews
"...I was getting write speeds of over 6MB I think the fastest was something like 6.70MB per second..."
"... Write speed with this card is the slowest of the lot, barely creeping above 5.3MB/sec..."
Hmmm,... I really dont know,... is this a good buy?
Considering the fact that the 16gb Sandisk seems to do its jobs very well, I'd rather buy the 16gb one...
Does anyone have a Class-10 MicroSDHC card running on their Atrix? If so, how's it performing? Thanks.
Ya I want to know this too has someone tried different classes?

i have class 4, 6, and 10 and honestly i cannot tell the difference under normal use. The only reason I got class 6 then upgraded to class 10 was for apps2sd on my nexus. I havnet done any formal tests, but from practical, every day use, no difference.
I do transfer files a lot from pc to phone so of course class 10 transfers them quicker. But normally you are not running many things off of SD, maybe music, which class 2 or 4 is good enough for.

I am still on the good old 4 GB card I bought a couple years ago. Fares pretty good for all day-to-day activities.
I just put in a class 6 16GB and I don't notice that big of a difference. I don't think you'd really notice a difference unless you were looking hard.
The higher the class of card, the faster the read/write speeds are. Things is, you will only see these speeds if you are transferring big files. If you are just putting MP3's and small videos on the card, you won't see much of a difference. Sequential Write speeds are significantly faster than Random Write speeds, but Sequential Read speeds vs Random Read speeds, there is not much difference.

Have you tried the Class-10 card in the Atrix? If so, which model/size is it? Thx.
Everyone: Thanks for your inputs!
Class Speed rating ONLY applies to WRITE speeds - has nothing to do with read speeds. Primarily designated for camcorders and other devices that need guaranteed minimum speed for writing data.
The camcorder on the phone doesn't require a specific card class, so spending money on higher speed cards is not a great idea. If you are copying movies from pc to sd regularly then it will save you a bit of time - that is all.
http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/speed_class/ and wikipedia explain SD speed pretty simply.
I ordered a 32GB Lexar Class 10 microSDHC. Should be getting it today so I'll post my findings. Planning on dumping all my music and maybe a few videos.

Excellent! I'll be picking one up. Thx.
I bought the Lexmar 32gig class 10. I don't see a huge difference unless I'm loading up the card with a lot of files at once.
Yes its as fast as the Patriot from all the specs I've seen but unless you can truly afford the minor difference, just get a lower class.

Saw a post FROM MOTO on the moto forums that says the Atrix can make use of the extra speed up to Class10.
FWIW.
My Kingston class 10 32GB card does not play nice with webtop2sd. However, I can format it with the system. I have not tried to write files to it but writing fat32 filesystems works for sure. It seems as if I can read from the card too. I see the folder created during the fat32 partition creation.
The issue I seem to have is that it cannot create extfs filesystems on the card using the phone. I can use gparted to make the filesystem, but then webtop2sd cannot read it.
is sandisk class 4 going to be recommended again?
On the Nook Color I've read the sandisk are usually the most stable and the class 4 was the most idea (even over higher classes.)
I was wondering if this is still the case before I spent 20$ on a 16 gig sd card.
Without a doubt. It has to do with sandisk class 2 and 4 cards providing random access to small amounts of data at speeds that are 10-100 times any other brand.
All the other brands are trying to make really big chunks of data write faster (think copying over movies faster) so I don't see anyone competing with sandisk here.
you didn't specifically mention what you were going to do. if in theory you plan on running cm7 on a sd card, then go with sandisk class 4. If you are only using it for storage and plan to run cm7 off of internal you can get a higher class rating for higher transfer feeds of large movies etc. unless you plan on running applications off of sd card where I think you would want the sandisk.

I'd suggest class 10 honestly ...
I have a Kingston class 10 16gb and a SanDisk class 4 32gb and the class 4 SanDisk trumps the Kingston everytime, except during transfers directly from a computer. The SanDisk benchmarks much better also

The title of the thread specifically mentions booting, which means specifically running an operating system from the card.

Your suggestion is horribly wrong. Objectively, very very very wrong.

I saw 10 card in another thread (since deleted?) where someone posted about a sale on a 32GB class 10 card. Without researching the card I happily posted to the thread saying that class 10 sounded like a good idea as I like to write gigs and gigs of data (MP3s, videos) to the card for consumption. I didn't stop to think about random reads or writes nor did I consider other uses.
This same kind of info was then posted there. I removed my foot from my mouth and noticed that, yes, in most cases, normal people doing normal things (i.e. running apps, writing small files, etc.) will generally be more happy using a class 2, 4, or *maybe* 6 in their tablet. Save the class 10 for the high-def video camera that needs fast, sequential writes. Save the dough when getting a card for your tablet: do some research and pick the card best for you based off REAL-WORLD BENCHMARKS. (Save you some time - you generally will do just fine picking up a SandDisk card.)
Although 99.999999999999999% of the MicroSD Cards which are 32GB are Class 2, I noted that the 16GB which Verizon stocked in the Rezound is a Class 4. I suspect that means we should go no lower than Class 4.
Anyone know of a good and legitimate 32GB SD card which is Class 4 or even better? I note that Class 6 and Class 10 all tend to be brands I have never heard of (other than 1 by PNY).
Recommendations are appreciated.
Sandisk has a class 4 32gb micro on Amazon for $37. I just ordered mine, and it should be here in a few days. I'll let you know what I think of it when it gets here.
Anything faster?
Anyone successfully use a Class 6 or 10 that was NOT a fake and actually worked close to speed?
This is a Class 10 but I don't want to guinea pig it

Someone put in a 64gb, don't know what class, and the RZD formatted it and it worked.

I asked about class in there and someone said unless you are going to move large amounts of stuff regularly then class 2 or 4 is fine.

Yeah, the only real difference is the transfer time. If you're swapping a lot of data on a daily basis (like copies of your BluRay movies), then a higher class rating makes it go faster, but doesn't have any other effect on the performance of the phone, to my knowledge.

JD, there's a thread elsewhere on xda that talks about card speeds and basically recommends that the sweet spot is a 32g class 4 card. I have 3 of 'em (all bought at various sales just under $40). One is in my Rezound; one is in my tablet, and one is kept synced to the one in my phone via Microsoft Synctoy....because all cards ultimately fail.
i was reading somehwere that this may affect the speed of how videos write to the card if you save to card..is that true?
i'm gonna get a 32 gig as well, but should i go for class 4 or 6?

Yeah that 64 GB is a class 6. It's part of Sandisk's new mobile ultra cards. They make em in all sizes I believe.

That's a valid concern. I don't know the bitrate at which the camera records the various formats that it is capable of, but I'd say that a Class 4 is a safe bet in any case.
For a smartphone doing HD recording you want "atleast" a 4. Anything slower might get stuck in swapping. Personally I think it's one of those things with go with what you can afford/feel comfortable with. Though I'm also using a class 10 16GB since I can't stand being bogged down on transfers. I mean honestly, it's an LTE phone, not an HD camera. I don't need a 32gb, I stream everything.
Play back is a different story, a class 2 32gb works fine as long as the app does proper buffering. Though it will always load faster with a faster SD card.
"Sandisk has a 64GB micro SDHC card out, although its $219."
Ouch. Not cheap.
