Upgrading microsd card

---

I want to upgrade the stock 4 GB microsd in my unrooted htc desire to a 16 GB microsd card. My question is can I copy what is on the 4 GB microsd and transfer them to the new 16 GB microsd and just insert it in? would all programs work?

many thanks for your help.

Yet, the apps are on the phones memory and the info is on the SD card so you can just copy across.

Cheers for the helpful reply.

Are ebay unbranded 16GB microsd cards reliable? Do they work?

i would stay away.

I agree - I had lots of problems with an unbranded 16GB card. Eventually ebay closed the seller down as there were so many complaints. I did get my money back via paypal. I finally bought a branded 32GB card - costly (EUR100!), but I love having so much space for my music / video.

Is there really a need for anything above class 4?

My HTC Desire came with a sandisc 4GB class 2. I want to get a larger card, but never had any reading issues with the class 2, and music and video played off it with ease.

I've seen the following item here, which is for a class 6.

Anyone got one of these?

I've just bought the 'ultra' version of Sandisk's 16GB microsd card and I am very impressed with it so far.

Personally, I always feel that it is best to stick with the tried and trusted brands, and sandisk products have always been excellent for me

I just bought a 16GB SanDisk class 2 from amazon and it writes on average at 5MB ish

I thought the class number i.e. 2 meant the read and write speed 2Mbps. Therefore class 6 would be 6Mbps. If you have a class 2 and get 5Mbps then that is pretty impressive.

The Class of the SD card is simply the *minimum* sustained write speed on a card which is completely unfragmented. So, a completely blank Class 2 card should always be able to write large files out at least 2mb/s, but can easily be faster.

My 16gb Sandisk Class 2 reads at 20mb/s and writes at 7.5mb/s - well above the Class 6 minimums.
