Upgrading SD Card

[trick202]

Hi all

I have an 8gig SD card hanging around doing nothing.

Is it as easy as copying everything from the stock 2gig card into the 8 gig and just carrying on?

I would recommend giving it a fresh formatting at FAT32..

Yup, just done.

All seems great.

I have no idea why it's seen as a disadvantage to use microsd over internal memory - I find it way more flexible.

Couldnt agree more. People talk about it as though its flaw, not in my opinion!

My flaw is unless you root, apps can't run off the SD. I would like to be able to have more app storage space on the G1 it is very limited, 88MB I think. On the MyTouch it is 288 MB.

I do like having and SD card for all the uses apps can store data though. Great option.

Slower I/O with the microSD card and if you remove the card, will loose data that some apps write to it -- that is, you cannot keep data in sync accross cards with out some hassel. Otherwise, not really a big deal. Hopefully your card is a Class 6 card (it should have a cricle with a number in it)....

Is there any other spec (min r/w speed?) I need to look for besides "Class 6"?

SDHC micro cards come in three classes .. 2, 4, & 6 .. the class 6 being the fastest ..

I had to refresh my Album Art. Fortunately Album Art Grabber makes this easy.

Looking to upgrade mine to 16gb, could anyone please tell me step by step how to transfer everything to a newbie.

Also how to make the SD card the main data holder.

Id appreciate any help!!

Quality of apps is the main reason....
