Hi guys! my 2gb samsung micro sd just crashed. Can you guys recommend any micro sd I should buy for my P500? please state the brand and size (and class if possible).
[Q] Recommended Micro SD for P500
- Thread starter jeffkid182
- Start date
I'm also searching for one, I think a 8GB class 6 would suffice. Any suggestions for brands and prices? I only know transcend.
I think m friend bought a Final Fantasy XIII PS3 korean release in there. its reliable. I just dont know how long it will take for the package to come(also depends on where u are tho).
I have a follow up question. Will having a class 10 sd have a great impact on the performance of the phone? or is it just too much for our phone to utilize that class 10 speed?
Don't buy from ebay, there are a lot of fake sellers who sell fake cards with fake storage, very low speeds and stuff.
It would depend on what you are going to use the card for. Will you be storing your programs on the memory card? Dalvik cache?
I bought a A-data Card 8gb Class 6 and i happy with it . It write with 7mb/s .
I saw that many people bought A-data 8gb class 6 for their OO .
I ordered this one few days ago, my parents were kind enough to pay me:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Team-Class-10...AsAccessories_MemoryCards&hash=item45f8b09dde
Using my old kingston 16gb class 4, but it is slow.

You sure? Because I buy most of my stuff from Ebay, even my O1 comes from there ^^. I dont have permission to purchase from many a sites actually. Since everyone's talking about ADATA, you think this is a good deal?

Woaw! It's been a few... err.. since i last viewed this thread. Thanks for the response!
Will be checking the 8GB class 6 you guys mentioned along with the class 10 franco gave a link to (but i think it's quite expensive).
And, yes i will be zipaligning my apps, store them in ext, and transfer cache into it too.

I paid 15eur for my 8Gb class 10 card on ebay (just search for Team class 10).It is the same price of class 4 Kingston card on any local store.
i wont be able to buy items from ebay (because of where i live), I will have to find the item locally. I saw that item too (posted by franco), and i really want to get my hands on one of those. XD Hope I can find those here in our place. XD Thanks for the response, everyone.
If your attempting to take videos with your Optimus, then the faster class cards will probably make a difference. Copying files to your microsd card will be faster using a higher class. Accessing your photo gallery will be faster. In other words, it will help when you read or write non-random large files.
I am a lot less sure that a Class 8 or class 10 will be of benefit if you want to speed up your use of programs/data and Davalik cache moved over to your memory card. The big question is whether writing small files is critical to the overall speed of your Optimus. If writing small files is critical the speed of sequential reads or writes of large files is far less important which is what the class rating is telling you.
I would rather buy from the little guy/manufacturer that has a brilliant product. However, I recently bought 2 Sandisk class 4 cards for android devices. I tested them with Crystal Disk Mark 3.01 (64bit version).

@explore3: that's quite a lot to ponder on... I will be researching on the cards that I will be finding here in our place... I'm aiming for a class 6 8gb and that a-data class10 8gb if i find it here. I know class 10 cards are (maybe) too much for our phones but i like taking a lot of pictures since i learned how to take good macro shots with our phone. Taking videos would not that be great because our phones are capped to quite mediocre quality video recording.
I think i saw some sandisk cards in here too. I will take a look at them along with the cards im looking for. Thanks for the input.

Thinking of getting a 32 GB class 4 card from a store is US via ebay. Is anyone one using a 32 GB card? Would I face any problems with it? Dont plan to use any app2sd patch. What are the things I need to take care while buying one?
No patch? You mean to say you're gonna fill that card only with multimedia files to be viewed on a O1? kinda weird :/ But to me class 4 is too weak for a 32gb card.

Its about how it work the micro sd's and classes, pros and cons etc.
