[Q] Best SD card for Dinc2

---

Hey -

I want to upgrade to a 32gb card, what is the best brand? I know that some are faster or slower than others - how do you choose an SD card?

Thanks.

By class speed then the storage

I don't think I would ever see a difference in the speeds available in "classes" on my phone unless it was a defective card. I picked up this card on amazon and have been very happy.

Sure, I'd love a class 10 card but I don't think the DInc2 can even do anything with that. Nor can my bank account take it
I'm a little surprised the prices haven't come down further.

The only way you will benefit from a class 10 card is if you do photography in raw format with a requirement for rapid snapshots or 1080p video recording in a higher quality. You'd be better off saving the money by getting a good quality class 6, or even a class 4.

I'm using a Kingston Class 4 32gb card without many issues. I did have a weird issue with the 720p recording at one time, but I haven't tested with CM yet to see if it was possibly a software glitch.

Your phone will perform poorly with a class 10. Higher classes have faster sequential access times at the expense of random access lag, and the vast majority of what your phone will be doing is random access.

The only things that benefit from class 10 is things like cameras, that write huge files (sequentially) all day.

The short answer is get a class 4 or 6, Sandisk tends to have good random access stats.

Just for reference, the DINC2 comes with a a SanDisk class 4.
