I always get a 32 gb class 4 or up. sandisk has always been my choice. But samsung makes great cards as well. You cannot go wrong with either as long as the class is above 2 (or itll suck and die) and enough space for all your needs

If you have a micro center nearby, just get their store branded one. I paid 19.99 for a 32gb class 10 with a walk in exchange / lifetime warranty. Best store in the world lol.
Works great, speed as advertised, and best of all its an actual brick and mortar location. Name branded ones cost twice as much and have like a 1 yr warranty. Easy choice if you ask me

I have a 32gb Samsung class 6 and a 64gb Sandisk class 10, both are the ush1 or whatever it is. The Samsung one is so much faster! And not that the 64 had more stuff on it, Samsung was fastest even when it was packed full of stuff. I personally am not pleased with the Sandisk performance.

Ok so im thinking of buying a 32g sd for this phone cuz i really wanna put all my music on my phone and i have like 10g of music, wondering how well it would work, Ive bought an 8g and 16g sandisk at walmart and both have worked great, anybody using a 32g on their s2?? What kind? Thanks

I'm using one... the speed isn't great but for music and videos and also for nandroid backups and such, speed isn't so much of an issue. I got it on sale from Newegg (I think the brand was A-Data or something like that) for $40, but I got it a while ago.
I have a Samsung class 4 32gb and I only have like 3gbs left on it. I have used it for the last few months in my T989 with zero issues
Just bought an 32gb Class 10 Samsung micro SD from Amazon for $50. Swapped it into my phone this morning. No problems, speeds are class 10 or better (see pic using SD tools app).
i have both the 32 GB and currently using the 64 GB as my daily driver
they both runs great
the speed of the SD is not determined by size, but by its quality and Write Speed
there is a sticky with benchmarks you can see which cards performs better

I also use a 32gb sandisk class 4. It works fine. I put my spotify offline cache on it and rom and titanium app backups.

No problem with my 32GB Sandisk. About to jump onto the 64GB train
32gb all the way!
I bought 2 x 32GB cards (1for my GS2 and 1 for my gf's GS2) 28 each on ebay... Class 4 though, but works awesome. Great for titanium backups/music...going on vacation prob buy a 64GB for vid and pics.
I'm looking forward to the upcoming 128 GB microSD later this year
hope the prices are not insane, the price for the 64 GB i paid last year was pretty crazy already, if the 128 GB cost more than $300 i think i'll pass
I have a Samsung 32GB class 10 that I bought at frys for like a total of 35$ and havent filled it up. I put all my apps like mc3 asphalt 6 and all those big games on my sd card. And then I have like 16GB of music on my ext card and the rest I just use it for like nandroids, roms and theme back ups and and place for some video recording.

That's only a class 4. There were a couple deals with higher classes for around the same price. I would suggest going at least class 6. I think the max that our phone writes is 8? Not sure on that one.. I have a class 10 but i normally use a usb adapter to transfer files which is blazing fast compared to the data cable way.

It will work but since the standard came out after the phone went into production, you probably aren't going to utilize the full speed.

Like Right now I have a Sandisk 32GB class 6 and it works pretty fast...
I just thought that it might work faster with that memory?
What you guys suggest me?
Is it worth it to buy it? Should I buy it or should I just keep the class 6 I have?

What's the price difference?
If you do a lot of writing, it would be worth the upgrade in going up the class grade.
If you are writing once and forgetting about it, you don't need a fast class rating because all that means is write speed and not read speed. Just about any card reads about as fast as each other, or similarly enough to not make a big difference.

And today I saw a video of a guy putting a 64GB Sandisk to his SGS2 and it was working.... the phone actually read the card.....
How is this possible????
Cuz according to GSMarena.com SGS2 can use only up to 32GB ???
So how's this possible???

64GB cards didn't exist when the phone was spec'ed out so they listed the current max at the time, 32gb. I don't see why 64gb cards wouldn't work, as the interface didn't change too much when going to the SDXC specs.
128gb would probably work too if they made those.. but that's my guess.
UHS-1 is also one of the 'new' standards. It's an extension of the SDHC 3.01 specs.

Because you can't readily install apps on your external card anymore.
If no 32 or 64 internal coming which is upsetting knowing there are 64's in korea and uk I believe at least get going on the 128 micro sd already and a real hack to swap memory..
Newer apps as nd such will fill 16 (10gb) real quick so I dont see how they dont see the demand. It will only be $50 more to get 32gb phone.

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?

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
