Best microSD? What class should I go for?

[stiefa00]

What about Transcend? A good or bad manufractor ?! =)

I'll buy a Transcend 32GB Hi-Speed SDHC card class 6 if Transcend is okay.

If you bought a 32GB Transcend SD Card you would have a hell of a problem fitting it in the memory slot on the phone.

IMO Transcend is second only to SanDisk
For example - I bought 4 SanDisk cards (each is 16GB) of class 2 and tested it yesterday: common write speed is 5 MBytes per second. If you'll buy Transcend class 2 - it would be great if it's 3MBytes/sec.

SanDisk offers more reserve and costs more. Transcend gives less reserve but anyway it delivers what it promises.
BTW - what for do you want a class 6 =) ?

porn! just kidding. Ehm yeah well... I'm looking forward to do a lot of video recording (PORN!!!! just kidding again ) so I want to be sure to have a fast card. Desire users wrote in a couple of forums about more fps if there is a faster sd card.

You don't think a class 6 card will be necessary?

/e: And thanks for feedback!

My Class 4 8gb SanDisk microSDHC card actually writes about 10 mb/s, so I would definitely recommend one!

but the sample video's do have nearly 1mb/s rate ...

a 60 seconds sample video does have 60mb

so i would say that a class 2 card will be enought?!

 

[vovanopulo]

Different manufacturers make different reserves for write speed as I've said before. But they all guarantee minimum write speed noted by the class. So you can pick SanDisk 4 or Transcend/Kingston 6. IMO it'd be enough.
p.s. I really hope my SanDisk 16G/c2 will be enough - but I cannot say for sure until I possess DHD at last =)

I'm new to android, but I'm sure the OS is located on the system-memory, not on the expandable one.

Presumably the Storm catalogues the contents of the SD card or initialises some applications during boot?

I've also ordered a 8GB Transcend MicroSD HC Class 6 - it might be excessive speed but it wasn't expensive. Depending on whether I end up using the video camera I may have to get a 16GB card as well/instead, or just use the Class 2 8GB card from my Blackstone as a spare (assuming the recording-to-RAM thing overcomes the speed limitation).

Doing a fresh boot on a BlackBerry is never pretty.

That made me lol

Transcend cards have been good for me and I use a class 6 card. Speed is very noticeable when transferring files to and from PC. The Samsung card class2 that came with DHD failed. I am not sure if I am entitled to a replacement.

8gb is definitely enough space for me, but if you have a big mp3 collection then maybe you need more.

I have a SanDisk 16GB Class 2 card, and it seemed to record video fine when I made a little test.

Here in EastEurope Kingstone 16gb class4 mobility kit is 55€ in store. I'll go with that when i bought the phone.
