Largest microSD capacity on rooted Hero?

amazon has some 16g class 6 micro sd cards for like $40 right now. if you dont mind a class 2 or 4, they can be had even cheaper.

I have a 8g right now and even with 5 or 6 nandorid backups and maybe a gig of music, im nowhere close to filling it

What are the differences between the classes? Are the higher class cards faster?

they are faster, but the speed diff is probably negligable at best on a phone. As far as I know, its only the speed at which it writes, not reads, so the only time you would really need a faster one is on a camera that allows multiple rapid shots. for a phones purpose, find one the size you want and whatever is cheapest, its probably a safe bet

Your nandriods may fit on that card but chances are you'll get errors when trying to restore them with only that much space. If you wanna keep 2+ nandroids I'd recommend a bigger card just in case as the nandroids need lots of free space to restore properly.

I try to stay above 500 mb, so that sort of thing does not happen. I looked for a while but once I found I was not having any issues with restoring nandroids and such, I quit looking
