micro SD speed Class 2 and Class 4

[thartung]

I have the latest ROM 2.17 intalled on my Sprint Mogul. I am searching for a larger card. I am considering a 4GB card but wanted to know if the speed is factor to consider. My understanding is that class 2 is 2MB/sec while class 4 is 4MB/sec transfer speed. Can the Mogul take advantage of this? Is the speed increase enough to really be noticeable? I am assuming the 512MB card that came with the Mogul is class 2. I cannot find any markings on the card to distingish the class.

Thank you for any help provided.

Hi, don't know if you got an answer to your question or not. I also spent about a good three days trying to track the answer down. I never found it anywhere, called HTC they sent me to Sprint...anyways...the answer that I got was that the Mogul has an average speed of 2Mb/sec; so it may not be necessary to buy a Class 4 or 6 card if it is more expensive. It looks like price for capacity is the only real factor when looking into buying a MicroSD card for the mogul.
If any one can state different (i.e. Mogul able to read/write at a higher rated speed) that would be good to know.

It might really help to have a spare, non-SDHC card in case you need to do a ROM upgrade directly from the microSD card...
