Default Microsd cards

hey

So I'm going to be new to the android world. I'm looking at purchasing either a class 10 16gb card or a class 4 32gb card. The little I've read it sounds like some of the class 10 32gb cards tend to corrupt.

Wonder what people recommend for the evo 3d.

I was interested in the transcend 32gb card. Sandisk no longer rates there cards.

Class 10 is overkill. I've been rockin' a 32gb class 4 sandisk in my evo for a couple of months. Works great.

Same one Ive been using in my 4G as well. Will be taking it out and sticking it in my 3D this week. Should work like a charm.

I have a sandisk class 2, the thing's way too slow. Go for a class 4, but if u want a class 10, these look pretty good, only some reviews say they had issues. I'd say back up your data, take your chances and go for the class 10.

I have Patriot 32GB Class 10, it's working fine in my Evo 4G. It's faster than than my 8GB Class 6, but not much. The class 6 is noticeably faster than the class 4.

I this card from this etailer:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820139588

It has been disappointing. All the file cluster sizes were tried. Also tried the read ahead trick. Card was formatted fat 32. Tried different card readers. Benched with h2testw_1.4 software on PC and SD Tools on phone. Fastest it would come up with is 8.4 MB/s write and 17 MB/s read.

To contrast, I have a Sandisk 32 GB Class 2 card that does 6 MB/s write and 10 MB/s read.

So, the Kingston performs like a Class 8. Too bad there is no such classification. And too bad I paid for Class 10+. The "+" referring to the exorbitant price I foolishly shelled out for.
