Default Micro SD Class 2 or 4?

I had a Galaxy Ace wich I upgraded to my new Optimus Black. I bought a 8 GB Class 2 micro SD, OB came with 4 GB Class 4 micro SD. Would i feel the difference between both of 'em if i user 8gb class 2 again? I think i need more data storage

higher class = higher write/read speed

plus,if you like customize your rom, it's better if you have a >=6 class sd card

No. Higher class = higher minimum write/read speed.

You can try get a legendary Class 10 Micro SD with more than 8GB

Belive me, it will be your best upgrade purchase for the OB

Actually I have a Micro SD Adata Class 10 16GB. On my daily usage, I noticed better performance from games that requiere SD data storage and better speed for tranfer files via usb. On my experience, 1GB in 1:30min!!! O.o Well that's when i'm transfer a unique .rar file, if you try with a folder of same size it takes a little more time

Another thing, if you're a gamer, trust me... you must get a 16Gb micro SD at least, because the heavy graphics games (like newest Gameloft Games) have very heavy quantity of data. Only with the downloadable data of Nova2, Asphalth 6, MC3, Street Fighter IV, FIFA12 and Real Racing2 you fill a MicroSD 8GB!!! D: but they are very good games ;D

Well, I hope this info will help you and if I was on your shoes... I hurt you!!! XD jajaja just kindding :P but seriously think about grab a better SD class with more than 8Gb ok... well you have the better choice. Regards from Mexico

PD. Sorry about my bad English T-T

defintely use higher class (min. class 6)... you will gain a benefit when loading/copying large amount of data. agree with above.

Those are the minimum speeds, the class doesn't say anything about maximum speeds. It is possible for a lower class card to reach higher speeds than a higher class card. It should not be possible for a card of a given class to go slower than the class minimum.
