Accessories Going to buy myself a 16GB SDHC card.

Megabytes.

I'm finding it's transfering mp3's at around 3MB/s, though. Is that normal?

Hi Kryten - was this card ok in the end?

I bought this one,

PNY 16GB Micro SD Memory Card - Mobiles at Play.com (UK)

It writes at class 6 speeds even though it's class 2,so overall I'm happy with it.

I got this one - also from Play.com - and can confirm it's a pumped up class 2 card working at class 6 speeds.

How is 720p recording going on this card? Getting much freezing if any?

Is this one Play.com 16GB Micro SDHC Memory Card (Class 2) - Mobiles at Play.com (UK) different than this one

Sorry for the noob question but... what are the classes that you guys are referring to?

Its to say how fast the card is rated to be able to write in MB\s to it constantly.

There are 4 classes 2,4,6 & 10 - the higher the number the better the card. However these are manufacturer minimums so you could quite easily get a card that can punch above its weight so you might get a class 2 that performs at class 6 speeds but this will probably be card\batch specific so always best to buy the actual class you need.

For 720P recording you need to be looking at a class4 rated card minimum.

And practice safe SD, always buy from a reputable seller and a known brand.

I believe you can just copy the entire contents to your PC, then copy over to the new card.

Oh and while im at it- whats the differnce between SD and MicroSD?

They use the same technology, it's just that MicroSD cards are about a quarter of the size.

micro sd and sd are physically different sizes micro sd is as it sounds a much smaller card as this photograph illustrates.

This is a micro sd card (bottom right) with an adapter so it fits into sd card slots (like in cameras)

I just got a new mirco sd for my desire and transferred all the data by plugging the desire in with the usb cable (in disk drive mode) and plugged the new micro sd card into my computers card reader, then just copied and pasted the data across.

Hope that helps

1, Just copy to pc then back to new card.

2, MicroSD is a lot smaller physically than SD

Thanks guys. Where is it indicated which class a particular microSD card is?

Haven't seen this website listed yet. Ordered from them on Saturday, haven't received card yet but price looks good.

That's SDHC, not Micro-SDHC.

It won't fit in your Desire.

Most recognised quality card manufacturers indicate the class on the card (or the packaging). It shows the class number inside a capital C

That, too is a standard SD card

Thanks for the help guys. I have ordered a 16GB transcend class 6, my only reservation being i couldnt see how long the warranty is for. If anyone wants to know if it works ok or not I will gladly post.

I'm trying to find a fast 8GB card in the UK. Seems like the Sandisk Class 4s are actually much faster than most Class 6s but they're not that easy to find. Can anyone suggest something? If it's not a SanDisk then I'd like to see real world read/write speeds if possible.

Your right and I'm a moron!

I have one of these, it runs at 4MB write / 5MB read.

That's why I want a Sandisk card, most others just cannot compete .

Isn't it illegal for them to advertise it as Class 6 then?
