I have the Sandisk which is fine for me. Still don't understand that my old Nokia N97 already had 32gb whereas the superduper quadcore hype devices of today are still stuck at 16gb internal memory. These should have been at 64gb stock. Ah well...

I have a sandisk one as well (class 10 sdxc). It's rated at about 30mbps vs the normal 10mbps. Works great so far.

Try to find ones that labeled UHS-1 (or UHS-I). If you want use torrents or others extremely high IO operations buy only ones with >40MB read/write specification (actual speed will be lower), otherwise stick with those with >20MB read/write.
ADATA has UHS-1 series 45MB Read/Write
SanDisk has UHS-1 "Mobile Ultra" 20MB Read/Write and UHS-1 "Extreme" 90MB Read/Write
List of course is incomplete, and all of UHS-1 labeled card also have Class10 label (because there is no higher Class)
Other that SanDisk "Mobile Ultra" will be expensive at 64GB and hard to find..

I've read somewhere Samsung micro SD 64gb is slightly faster than Sandisk one by a few mb/s transfer speed.

Ty for your answers peep.

I recently bought a 'SanDisk microSDXC Ultra Class 10 64 GB' and am very happy with it. I even managed to watch a 1080p movie with lossless DTS sound with it recently without even the slightest problem.

I also went with the Sandisk 64gb one, I formatted it in exfat with windows 7 and its been great for movies.

Great! Do u guys have an idea where i can get 1

microsd card

I was thinking about upgading my wimpy 2gb microsd card and was wondering if a Sandisk 8gb microsdhc class four is compatible with the Incredible.
Thanks!
Absolutely...before you move anything to the new card format it in the phone.

Stock is somewhere around a class 6 I think... it may vary though. Mine was class 6...
Right now I'm running a 32GB Class 2, it runs great! Not even slow, honestly. It's a SanDisk. Don't be tempted by the cheap Kingston 32GB cards. They're scammy ****. I got one, luckily it was through a reasonable seller who refunded me.If you go for a 32GB, I recommend SanDisk. Buy it through Amazon, it should be about 80 USD.

I would think the stock card would be class 2. But mine didn't come with one. I had to buy one seperate when I bought it. I have a 8GB SanDisk class 2. And its plenty fast. Best to use a SD card reader for the best speed.
I just bought a new SD card for my camera (Canon T3i) and went with a 16GB SanDisk Class 4, and it can handle full 1080P video without filling the camera buffer at all. The class is actually the minimum speed it will write at. The Max is usually much higher. At least with the good cards.

Yeah, my stock 2Gb was a Class 2.
If the card isn't marked, it's a Class 2 card.
Class 4 is generally the slowest you want for decent HD video recording & playback if you do that.
Anyway, I'll check out the SanDisk 32Gb Class 4 and up cards on Amazon, I've been leary about the online MicroSD cards because I've heard about the Chineese fakes too. I heard that A-Data makes a good MicroSD card, what's your thoughts on them?
Is Patriot another cheapo like Kingston?

If your not switching your sdcard with your internal one then I doubt you will notice a difference between the 6 and 10 since all apps are stored on the phone.

There is an extremely noticeable difference if you are copying files from your computer. I am always copying a lot of video to and from my card and a 66% increase in write speed saves me a lot of time.

What sdcard brand do you use?

I currently have an old 6gb SanDisk sdcard I got a few years ago which works well for me.
Although I've been wanting to upgrade to a 32 or 64gb sdcard. I've noticed people having issues with sdcards like the phone won't recognize or it unmounts rapidly.
I was wondering what you guys use that's most stable for you. Do you guys use SanDisk, Samsung, etc memory cards? Post model or anything that works.
Thanks in advance.

Do you guys see speed difference using a class 4 & a class 10 on a daily activity?
How can you see the speed of a memory card? Is it by downloading things? Or how responsive things in the memory card are when they're being used?

I got a 64GB SanDisk that I formatted to FAT32 and it works perfect. If there's a MicroCenter near you then you could get a good deal on a micro sd. The SanDisk I bought was 55 at MicroCenter and 100 at BestBuy.
This one works for me:

most people around here recommend the Samsung... because SanDisk had a bad batch of microSD cards... and even they accepted it... that said I have a SanDisk 64gb and it's working flawlessly so far...

I followed this method when I bought my sandisk ultra 64gb card. Somehow when I format with my PC it only recognizes it at 32gb. Tried with windows xp and windows 7 same result. Using the software below worked perfect.

Bought my sandisk sdcard from amazon also and have not had any issue with it. $50 would be good price for one but its probably more which brand you should get that you should ask.

Thankfully you're very wrong. I'm waiting for 128 GB MicroSDXC before I get a card though. GS4 supports exFAT, so any size MicroSDXC should work.

What ^^ he said.
$50-$60 (sub-40 quid if you're british) for a class 10 or UHS-1 64GB uSDXC card is a reasonable price. I still like SanDisk, they did have a bad batch before Christmas (and I unluckily got one) but they replaced very quickly with no fuss so they get my vote. I used amazon for my last one.
64 gig is fine for tonnes of music and photos, only time I'd want more is if I was taking my entire DVD collection everywhere with me.
128 Gig micro sd card on amazon for $130-$150.

Yeah, I've seen the 128 GB full-size SDXC cards for quite a while now, but no 128 GB micro SDXC. Main reason I need all that space is my full music collection is around 75 GB, and I'd love to finally dump the old iPod classic and just have the whole collection on the phone. :good:

Best 32gig Class 10 Micro SD

Can anyone recommend me a 32gig micro sd card? I recently purchase this POS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA26X0PJ1516 from newegg and I'm pissed off at how bad it is. It is advertised with amazing write and read speeds but is nothing near that! It maxes out around 6.6 MB write and 10MB Read speed, WTF. I'm in the process right now for getting a refund and want to get a reliable SD that does not lie about it's speeds. Thanks
Go for the sandisk one. Or if speed is what you want go for there extreme 16 or 32 GB more expensive but boss overall

I ended up buying this card by GSkill. It has a lifetime warranty which works awesome even if your card doesn't. Google searches found that they have the best replacement turn around and processing.

Does it really matter on the class, I have always been confused by that.
Yeah as each class gets higher, it means the read and write speeds get faster. Class 2 is the lowest. Class 10 is the fastest. And there's
UHS 1 which is faster then class 10

Yeah it has to do with something relating to 32gb. anything above 32gb has to be formatted diffrrently? I can't remember the exact details about it.
64gb is crazy amounts of space. I only use about 15-20gb. But I've seen some of these apps in the play store go up to 1gb now which crazy for an app.
