Default Lexar/Patriot 32GB microSDHC card

Hi,

Has anyone tried either the Lexar or Patriot 32GB microSDHC card with their Droid/Milestones?

Any issues at all?

Thanks!

Any information at all would be appreciated.

I haven't been able to find any information by searching forums.

I am running Cyanogen 6, 2.2.1, so I should be able to format the 32GB card. I'm just concerned with compatibility issues with the original Droid 1 and the Milestone.

Anyone?

Thanks!

Yeah I'm surprised that we aren't getting more feedback with this topic.

I've found threads with 32GB cards with EVOs and Droid Xs, but, that's about it.

I think it helps if you manage to get it formatted properly, either on a desktop computer or on your device (if it supports it).

I'm tempted by the Patriot 32GB Class 10, but, some of the people on Newegg seemed to have some issues with it on a their Droid Xs.

Thanks for the feedback!

Do you experience any subjective speed increases with the new card?

Have you run any SD Card speed tests with the card? If not, would you mind doing so and reporting back?

Just wondering if the Milestone will benefit from a class 10 card (or any card greater than class 2).

Thanks again!

i got 8.8MB/s write speed and 12.7MB/s read using antutu system review btw im also using apps2ext and cm7. I dont know by using apps2ext if the benchmark is effected. I was using a 16gb class 2 Kingston card before this and generally haven't noticed much of a speed difference but I mainly use the card for music

Edit: SD tools gets 10.6MB/s writing speed and 14.4MB/s reading speed

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your results. Those performance speeds are quite attractive!

I'm surprised that you you don't feel any subjective speed increases though. I would have thought that when accessing applications stored on your SD card, or when you initially remount your SD card and have to search through media using Gallery, that the difference would have been significant.

Although it is possible that our phones doesn't support much more than Class 2 speeds.

But, at least we know that the Lexar card is compatible with the Droid/Milestone!

Thanks very much for the information!

Class 2 is (roughly speaking) 2MB/s writing speed. Imagine you want to copy a lot of mp3's or a movie (or use it as USB dongle) with 2MB/s. unusable.
