Any Recommendations for Best microSD for webtop2sd use?

I am getting ready to try out webtop2sd on my Bionic but I want to buy a 32Gb microsd card. I was about to get a class 10 but I have been ready there may be some problems with them in the phone. (?poor random access times vs. sequential transfer speeds?)

So, I am not sure whether to go with class 10, 6 or if just a Sandisk class 4 would be best. (I don't really want to spend a huge amount of money either - looking for best performance for a reasonable price)

If anyone has experience using webtop2sd, or is extremely knowledgeable about microSD media, and could recommend the best microSD card to use I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Have you considered just using a flash drive for additional storage? It seems like it would be a cheaper way to go.

Basically if you go with a 32gb Class 10 Micro SD you will have the fastest transfer rates you can get. They are about i think 3 times as much as the class 4. The class 4's work fine though. I haven't really done or seen any bench marking for the Bionic about it. That is what I am planning to get though for webtop2sd for myself.

I figure if I am going to be using it as a a full ubuntu basically, would be nice for the extra transfer/read speeds. /shrug

Im using one of these from a previous daily sale from the same site and it works great for everything. Webtop2sd included. And you can't beat the price!!

I saw somewhere that the bionic is compatible with sdxc cards which are class 30 and up to 64gb. Hellaciously expensive though. Might be worth looking into though.

I'm a bit curious about that, if you find anything out definitively shoot me a message.

I used a class 4 at first, ran AnTuTu and saw other people's droid's beating mine. Switched to a class 10 and I'm holding the top score right now by 5 points (5171, closest 5166), lol, not much but good. It was a big improvement over the class 4. With a class 4 card it was scoring in the high 4000's. The read/write speed is a huge leap, you'll notice if you do any full memory card backups / transfer a lot of music / files to the Droid.

I say look for a deal, I used 2 reward zone coupons at Best Buy to make it free for me.
You can usually find really good deals online or MicroCenter has good prices in store if you don't shop online.

I have been using a Samsung 32Gb Class 10 card for about a month and it works great. Speeds are fantastic. Picked it up at Fry's for $50. I have not used Webtop2sd however.

You should check it out. A full linux distro running on your bionic is pretty impressive.

+1 for class 10, you cant go back once you've seen your card reader hit 17Mbps write speed. i dont even MIND doing superfluous nandroids anymore lol.
