My recommendation after playing with all sorts of microsd cards and speeds is to get a sandisk 32gb card ( the new sandisk cards do not show a class speed , except for their ultra and extreme cards - This is their new policy )

Why this recommendation

- Randrom read write is the most important for speed during normal phone performance and i have seen sandisk cards have it the highest .
HERE IS A POST FROM SOMEONE IN XDA. Forgot the source


( quoted from one of the users in xda )

- Lexar class 10 ( I paid 94 $ for this :-( ) has terrible random speeds. The worst infact. Some of the other class 10 cards like kingston, patriot, topram have higher random speeds. However failure rate of some of these cards ( except kingston is high)

- Sandisk 32gb is relatively cheaper and very reliable.

- However if you are interested in regular copying of large files , like for eg : daily trnasfer of lots of music and movie files it might be better to get a class 10 card.

Buying Sandisk is a lottery, some perform better then spec said and others like it specced for. Not all Sandisk perform as most reviews says.

from class 6 samsung to class 10 lexar experience

i got the lexar classs 10 32gb for £25
No problems so far

I had a samsung 8gb class 6 which was great but I noticed sometimes my music used to freeze for 2-3 seconds when i would skip through shuffle music really fast. didn;t happen often.
I formated the card and everything...

but with the lexar I have not encountered this problem so far ( 3 weeks) so I'm happy

I got a Sandisk Class 4 32GB, imported it from USA Amazon.
Read somewhere that random read/write speeds were important and so went for the Sandisk.
Working nicely, just that media scanning for sd card on boot up takes a little long.

    - Randrom read write is the most important for speed during normal phone performance and i have seen sandisk cards have it the highest .
    HERE IS A POST FROM SOMEONE IN XDA. Forgot the source
    Class 2 and 4 cards have better random access speed and random read/write than class 6 or 10 cards in general. To get higher sequential write speeds, manufacturers sacrifice the random access speeds. That's just how it is.
    The best all around card I've ever found is Sandisk class 4.
    My 32gb Sandisk class 4 outperforms any other class 10 or 2 32gb card I've tested in the random access and random read/write speeds. That's what's most important when using with WP7 or Android when using it for apps or OS files that need to be accessed quickly. Class 6 and 10 cards are setup to initialize the area of the card that is about to be used to make the sequential write/read quicker, but it takes extra time in the beginning to do the initialization. If your using the card where you need to access small bits of info from various parts of card quickly, you will do best with class 2 or 4.
    Most people seem to assume that the higher the class, the better the card is for everything, but that's not how it is. Different purposes need different kinds of speed... cards with higher sequential speeds have lower random speeds.

    ( quoted from one of the users in xda )

    - Lexar class 10 ( I paid 94 $ for this :-( ) has terrible random speeds. The worst infact. Some of the other class 10 cards like kingston, patriot, topram have higher random speeds. However failure rate of some of these cards ( except kingston is high)

    make shore ur sandisk isnt fake

    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GENUINE AND FAKE Sandisk 32 GB micro SD:

    1. Package: The genuine pack is sealed and cannot be split open. The fake is just pasted at the edges and my fake item was all loose inside. Again, as far as I am aware, Sandisk does not provide any SD adaptors (Kingston does) but nearly all eBay items have a `free adaptor' inside the same pack.*

    2. Check the barcode: If you have a iPhone with a barcode facility (like a Amazon/eBay app), check the barcode on the reverse of the pack. My fake eBay item barcode read 4GB instead of 32 GB.*

    3. Check the external details: Sandisk, currently only makes Class 2 for its 32 GB micro SD cards and I confirmed this from Sandisk helpline in the US. eBay sellers are selling fakes as `Class 6 - 10' !!!*

    4. Check the inner details: Once you open the pack, check the card. All genuine cards should have a serial number and a manufacturing country's identity. Fake ones neither have any such details and the external details are painted in a hazy style (see photo).*

    5. The Catch: When you put in a fake micro SD card for the first time, you will be surprised to find that it reads the correct GB in the properties. Apparently the goons have made a software which enables the card's storage properties to give out a false capacity. One way to check this is to copy at least 60% date of the `claimed' capacity and check the card in 2-3 days time. There will be lost data in all fake ones.*

    6. Finally the functionality: Download a simple programme called H2testw (ver 1.4) from the internet. It is German software and the most recommended to test all your portable media including micro SD cards. My fake one showed only 3.96 GB capacity instead of 32GB as claimed.*

    7. Where to buy: spend the extra bit of money and buy from genuine big dealers. Amazon is always one of my foremost places but keep away from Amazon Marketplace since the same firms also sell in eBay i.e they are mostly shady and refunds will need a lot of wrangling. Of course, you might occasionally be lucky (as yours truly had hoped!), but one would probably need to be as dumb as me to follow my steps (till I became wiser!.*

    Hope these steps help the next prospective buyer

    Hi,
    Had my SGSII for a few weeks now and I've filled my internal SD memory. Was hoping you guys could help me.
    I'm in need of a 32gb class 10 micro SD card for all my HD content. Do any of you flash-a-holic's know of anywhere I can purchase one from? I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting upgrade the memory!!!
    Cheers

    Don't think a class 10 is as fast as you think it should be, I have a samsung 8gb class 6 that will probably out perform most class 10 cards. Why pay the extra

    I have such one from Amazon. It' s from a company I never heard of but works in my SGS II since I unpacked it perfectly and stable. Has lifelong guarantee.

    Video rec to sd is nice and smooth and fast, divx videos stored on this class 10 msd play perfect.

    Just search in Amazon.....
