You'll need microSD, no doubt about it. As long as you're using it mainly for reading, speed doesn't really matter - almost all cards are able to read at reasonable speeds. If you plan on writing to it a lot, it may pay to get a class 6 card or so (6 Mbyte/sec sustained writing speed).

There's no need to get the best of the best, but it may pay to get a well-known brand like SanDisk. But please be careful, there are a lot of cheap knockoffs for sale! The Samsung card just mentioned by Aidan looks like a standard SDHC card, not a microSD. The other one is a microSD card and Transcend is a well known brand, but I am not familiar with the webstore that's selling it (which means nothing!).

 

This is a good thread, I'm in the market to upgrade my micro sd card.

32 GB card is a bit expensive, however I could see myself paying for a 16 GB card.

thanks

 

Also looking to upgrade but I am considering 32Gig. Anyone used one on a Hero yet? Any comments/recommendations? Is there a risk spending so much - I don't want it to fail after spending so much money ...

Thanks, Chris

 

gonna get myself one too... although I thought the max the hero could take was 8gb? I thought I read that somewhere... am I talking bull?

 

Ah - I think I was thinking that because once you go over 4 it turns into SDHC...?

Can the hero definitely take microsdhc as well as the older microsd?

Cheers

 

I know this thread is a little old but I could use some advice.

I'm looking at getting a 16gb card for my HTC Hero & currently have 2 to choose from, this one

MyMemory 16GB Micro SD (SDHC) Card - Class 4

 

I'd go for the cheaper MyMemory one. I've not used these cards but I have three of their own-brand CF cards for my DSLR and they perform as expected and have been completely reliable.

 

Thanks I'll order one & let you know.

 

nice move
