Who is getting a 32 gb card for their Evo3d and which one?

I only have the 8 gb card in my current Evo and will of course get another one of those together with the Evo 3d. I plan of having all sorts of stuff on my E3d, so I want a big card, and I want a fast card, possibly a class 10. Did anyone do research on this as far as what brand is good and reliable and actually achieves the advertised speeds?

All the manufacturers stretch the truth for speeds. If anyone knows a link to a current comparison of benchmarks, that would be great to see. I have a class 10 32GB one that I put in my EVO 4G. Works great, but no clue if it's getting the advertised speeds or not. It's definitely faster than the 8GB one that was in it.

Did you try running some benchmarking program like SD Tools to see how fast it is? What brand is yours, how much was it, and where did you get it?

That particular card has some interesting comments associated with it, mainly that it doesn't work very well in android phones....and that you should stay away from class 10 cards and stick to class 6.

I ran that speed test app for microsd cards on my Evo with the stock card that came with it and got 8.8 write and 9.1 read.

I think I am going with a class 6.

I will probably bump up to a 16gb card but I find that the Transcend cards are excellent.

Got an 8gb class 6 card from them last year.

10.8 Write Speed

19.3 Read Speed

Wow, nice...that's some serious speed. Yeah I am definitely not getting a class 10.

What would be the best 32 to get?

Now with Google music I don't think I need a big card.

Wow. My Sandisk class 2 16GB card is getting 18.5 MB/s write and 7.7 read. BTW, 720p video recorded on my EVO is <1 MB/s so the minimum rating on my card would be sufficient if it ever came to that. Isn't something like a class 10 overkill?
