It will have a class rating.... class 6... is a good speed

And if it don't say what class.. assume class 2

The speed factor of your SD card doesn't matter on which class of SD card you have. This is the hidden truth exposed by the XDA Android developer.

It's all depend on the cache memory size of your SD card. Default cache size of SD card is 128 kb. If you increase this cache memory size your SD card reading/writing speed automatically boost-up.

And there is only one way to increase cache size of your SD card, by using increase SD speed app.

jimmy...

that is true... but only helps to make the speed on android to reach the full potential of the card speed... so that it will match the speed when used on your PC.

the class rating will still matter for what that potential is.

cache only helps for data that is moved to the cache. it still needs to get the info from the card to the cache.
