May I ask why you specifically want a Class 6 and not a Class 4 (generally quicker) or Class 10 (quicker for large transfers only (unless you get a very good one))?

edanfalls,
Class 4 has a lower transfer speed (than Class 6 and above) for both small and big files.
Class 6 is a "golden middle" between low (<6) and high (>6) Class cards - fast Class card for entry Class card price.
Nice choice!
Nokia 6600 -> Palm Treo 2 -> SE Xperia X1i -> SE Xperia X10i ->

Yes, for sequential low-queue-order reads. This is mostly irrelevant for real-world usage.

Class 10s are usually actually slower in real applications. Of course, if you want the extra speed for simply transferring files, then a Class 10 will be better for you (which is why I stated that Class 10s are quicker for transfers in my first post).

There are some Class 10s which perform better than Class 4s with random high-queue-order reads and writes, but these aren't typical Class 10s and cost a lot more.

I tried to be on topic - I looked for best Class 6 prices, and they're more expensive than Class 10s that outperform them in every area. This is why I questioned why it has to be a Class 6.

Well no reputed manufacturer makes class10 at the moment. The ones tht makes are having shaky performance and data errors within a few months.
If one needs a fast card the safe route is to go with class6 cards... and i want it coz i intend to watch 1080P movies on my phone and it requires transfers as well....

PS: Maybe i will get a class4 card tommorow, which is easily available and i hope it wont lag for any of my use.

Verbatim, Kingston, Lexar... these are all reputable brands and are selling Class 10s.

Mostly they all use the same flash manufacturers anyway.

The only 64gb cards ive seen are these "Sandisk 64GB Mobile Ultra microSDXC Memory Card, up to 30MB/s read speed" I just bought one for $175 from here so not cheap but I wanted more storage for my note. They will get cheaper once more 64gb cards get released but sandisk is the best brand for SD cards.

http://www.scorptec.com.au/computer/...dqy-064g-u46sa

I have seen them online for $165 but I only buy sdcards from people I trust and these guys have a shop near my house where I get most of my computer stuff.

Not sure where you live but this is from Australia so you may want to check if they ship OS. I would never trust private sellers for any SD cards as theres just way too many fakes around.

Here is a speed test I did on the card using win7x64 with USB 2 which could be why I don't get much over 20mb/s with any of my cards.


Going by this test it would be a class 6 but they dont have a class rating anywhere apart from 30mb/s read speed which I dont hit. Just transferring over my 32gb cards data to this and am getting a speed of just over 7MB/s so id rate it a c6
