From what I remember reading a number of users has reported the class 10 worked fine..

Class 10

I'm using 16GB class 10 and it has no problems.

The class rating is just an indicator for the how fast it can be written and read from.

Yes. The class rating is a speed rating, the card is supposed to meet read/wright access specs of "class 10" minimums. The only compatibility item in the specs you need to worry about is capacity. The X can handle a maximum of a 32GB card.

Just be-careful! There is no standard or organization governing these "classes."

Its all marketing smoke and mirrors non-sense.

Make sure to check the ACTUAL speeds of it (both read AND write).

I cannot tell you how many suckers spent an extra $10-$30 for a "class 10" when they could get the same read and write speeds on a different brands "class 8"

This is coming from someone who wrote the marketing on a bit of this.

Class 8? No such animal. Better go back and correct the bit of marketing you did on this.

Take a look at FAQs - SD Association

From what else I know, the Speed Class is a minimum speed rating for the card, not an actual speed rating. SanDisk Ultra series cards, for example, almost always outperform their listed speed rating.
