8GB class 10

---

Just wanted to drop in and tell everyone about the sd card I bought.

Speed is awesome. I can restore an image from recovery almost 5x faster than the stock card. My hero seems twice as fast just doing day to day stuff. I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. I had no idea that the system depends so much on the sd card.

FYI, stock card is class 2 (read 2MB/s). This is class 10 (10MB/s). 8GB is platy for me and you can't beat $17.99 free shipping. I'm getting one more for my wife's intercept.

BTW, incase the listing is gone in the future this was:
Patriot LX (Class 10) 8GB MicroSDHC Flash Memory Card
ASIN: B003SX0OU2
Item model number: PSF4GMCSDHC10
Tested and worked on CDMA HERO under CM6 nightly 87

Nice find, I paid $23 for a 8 gig class 6 just last week. You are right about the speed improvement, I was running a 4 gig class 4 before and I can tell the difference!

This card is amazing! I finally found out why it took so long for the phone to start ringing when the call was coming through. Guess what... I had the ringtone downloaded on the damn stock slow-ass class 2 sd card which took forever to load the sound LOL.

I wonder how many people are having lag issues with their hero not realizing this sd card limit problem.

Hmm I'm debating getting a Class 10 16GB but I might just disable A2SD since I'm pretty sure that the internal memory is faster than a class 2 microSD card.

Yeah, for sure it is. But I don't run apps2sd even on this new class 10 card simply because cm6 has plenty of room for me and it's froyo 2.2 so I can move each app to sd individually. However, ringtones are downloaded to sd (wherever you get them from) and when selected as a ringtone in the main system they are not moved to memory anywhere. They still are executed from the sd card.

Just bought this card from newegg. It was a bit more money but I couldn't find it listed on eBay.

Sent from my Hero running Froyo. Boom.

Do you think class 10 or class 6 is better for speed?

The higher the class, the higher the speed.

The Hero only recognizes up to class 6. If you buy a class 10 sd, it will work, but you'll have the same speeds as a class6.

Really? Good thing I bought an 8gb class 6 instead of a class 10 last night. Haha.. I can't wait though, I get it in about three more days, and paid only $15 with free shipping from ebay. That's good enough for me.
