What Micro SD card???

[Tunney]

Has any of you used or heard of Transcend micro SD cards?? I been looking at a Class 6 one but I've never heard of Transcend before.

Avoid Transcend like the plague. Their cards are poor quality and often don't conform to the SD card specifications properly.

IIRC, Transcend are owned by Samsung and their cards are bundled with a lot of cheaper phones.

I have a sandisk 8gb class2 which seems fast enough.
There was a thread about SDHC classes last week

I was looking into classes before buying my 8gb microsdhc and it seems that nearly all sandisk microsdhc cards are class2 but they seem to run faster

classes are only a guarantee to the minimum speed (I notice a lot of advertising makes u think it's the actual speed of the card) so I think sandisk are just being safe by saying they are class2 (read something about sandisk putting their cards to class2 after a certain date for some reason)

I nearly bought a class4 samsung but read that the sandisk class2 cards were better. Also nearly got a PNY class4 but then read some tests where the PNY class4 ran at class2

I don't use A2SD tho so prob don't matter too much anyway.

Well, just for comparison, my 8GB class 2 Sandisk card comes out at 7.0MB/s write and 14.0MB/s read when I run the SD Card speed test app.

its a speed thing:
Class 2: 2 MB/s
Class 4: 4 MB/s
Class 6: 6 MB/s
Class 10: 10 MB/s

I am using a SanDisk 16GB class 2 card in my X10 and its slow as poo to copy stuff across, so I am going to looking to sell it and get a class 6 or 10 card instead.

Id personally recommend a class 6 card or better really.
