Accessories 32gb micro sd -- SanDisk vs. Transcend

So I think over a class 4 or 6, after reading the forums, I've decided that a class 2 is probably enough to do the trick. I'll just be using it to watch some movies and listen to music -- and am not really concerned if it takes a bit longer than a class 4 to copy music to the card.

With the price difference not being major between a 16gb and a 32gb, I'm looking at a 32gb. From what I've read, both SanDisk and Transcend are very legit companies. Anyone have better/worse experience with one over the other?

Also, I once had a very bad experience using a large memory card in a BB (stuttering, etc.). Is there anything to the idea that a 16gb might function better with the Evo than a 32gb would?

And just to further complicate things... Would you do a 16gb class 4 or a 32gb class 6?

Thanks!
 
Well, price IS an object... :) That's why I'm trying to weigh a faster class (where I could only afford 16 gb) vs. a larger size (where I could only afford a class 2 speed).

And see if anyone has had problems using a card as big as 32 gb. My old BB curve was rated to handle the 8 gb card, but still had stuttering problems when recording.

i just went to amazon and found a transcend 32 gb class 10 for $49.91. frys is awesome they're good for mobos and processors but u can find this stuff cheaper online than in frys.

Do you have a link for the Transcend? Are you sure you didn't accidentally see/order a regular SDHC ($49.81 is the price they have for the regular transcend 32gb class 10 SDHC). The only micro sdhc that I saw from transcend in that size is a class 2 and it's $75.

Also, for anyone interested...Patriot released a 32gb class 10 micro sdhc as well...it's going for about $100 online (newegg.com)

Patroit 32 gb card is super fast ...I get 11 mb/s write and 15mb/s read
compared to my sandisk 32 gb class card were speeds was 6 mb/s and 2 mb/s

Not sure if people with the evos have removed the cap from the evos read abilities on their rooted evos...
