MicroSD Class?

[rotaflex]

Is there any way of knowing if a MicroSD SDHC card is class 2, 4, 6 If it's not printed on the card itself? Just trying to make sure I don't get screwed by some shops.

This is an example of a class 2 device: http://www.electronicsoutfitter.com/images/items/574/844574-tes321186.jpg
You can clearly see the number 2 partially encircled in both that picture and on the bottom of San Disk's website here: http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1441

And remember kids, Google is your friend! ;)

Does anyone know which classes a WM6 Hermes is compatible with?

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

I'm not sure about this, I asked the same question here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381156). But the answer was: 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.

I also got now a 8 GB microSDHC Class 4, and I am really impressed about the HC-SpeedClass of 4... But I also got a Adapter with this package, and when I want to copy large files e.g. wikipedia, tomtom maps, brockhaus etc. I use the adapter to gain the full speed.

...

keep me up to date what a speed class uses the hermes...

hello everyone!
just thought, i should add this here...

my new TRANSCEND microSDHC class 6 with 4GB seems to be working just fine!

i am using THIS ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388523&page=45) at the moment. wondering, if there are still some ROMs out there, which dont support SDHC cards...?

another questionw ould be, how to measure the speed on the PDA?
can Total Commander do this on the PDA as well?
any benchmark tools fpr Windows Mobile?

regards,

Thanks. I got myself a 8GB class 4 and it works great on my WM6.0.

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?

TIA
