Is it worth upgrading to a class 6 microsd card and which ones for the TP2?

u really wont notice a difference in card to phone transfer times. but u'll notice faster pc to card speed if ur mem card reader up to date. i use recso explorer and it shows the transfer speed like vista/7 does. i gotta class 2 16gb as well and my transfer times from phone/card peak at about 100kbps. from pc/card it get about 2mbps. a class 6 in theory should give u up to 6mbps. but only if ur cpu can keep up w/ it.

100kb/sec? you must be transferring a lot of small files - try your speed with larger ones(like 10-500mb) i average 5mb/sec with class 4 card(Sandisk) and 6mb on class 6(a-data) on Windows 7 as well(direct connect via USB with Total Commander or MS File Explorer)

The classes do mean something these are industry standard rating for the speed not opions and if you do proper benchmarking you do see the speed difference between the cards. this very apperant when transfering files with onboard gps maps the screen refresh is much quicker and when playing large videos from the card.
