Class 10 32gb microSDHC

[aman1127]

Just in case you guys missed the announcement:

Lexar® High-Speed microSDHC

i think its a fair price, considering the Sandisk 32gb is only class 2 and $200 (retail at least)!

Whats really the difference on "Classes" Class 2 vs Class 10 per-say. Either way itll be a 32gb memory card, so is the class difference for transfer rates or what?

The Speed Class Rating is the official unit of speed measurement for SD Cards, defined by the SD Association. The Class number represents a multiple of 8 Mb/s (1 MB/s), and meets the least sustained write speeds for a card in a fragmented state.[18] These are the ratings of some currently available cards:[18]

* Class 0 cards do not specify performance, which includes all legacy cards prior to class specifications.
* Class 2, 2 MB/s, slowest for SDHC cards.
* Class 4, 4 MB/s.
* Class 6, 6 MB/s.
* Class 10, 10 MB/s.

for micro sdhc, its about half of each number but the same idea non the less. I notice when I look through the gallery and when I take a picture.

Usually the bigger the card, the faster you want the card to be because in theory there is more info to move.

Now test your card and tell me what you see. Here has been my experience. San Disk is extremely conservative in rating their cards. Their class 2 cards often run at Class 6 whereas these low dollar cards that call themselves Class 10 run sub-Class 2.

The speed test can be manipulated by the Block read size. Until their is an ISO, take Class standards with a grain of salt. I would stick with San Disk at best and Kingston next.

I'm no teck, but in my own experience, I have switched from Scandisck 16gb class 2 to Patriot 32gb Class 10. I deferentially see that my photos in gallery load much faster, camera and video speed recording stop record is way better, no lag on music, especially when you do random play list.

I highly recommend class 10.
