64 gb sd card warning

**thefattexan** · 09-30-2012, 02:40 AM

if you plan to use a 64gb sd card with the samsung galaxy s3(all models), then you need to find a class 4 and lower micro sd card. the class 10 cards that you find on market easily are not suited for any mobile device. tablet or phone. the class 6 and up are meant for cameras and computers. running a class 6 and up card could damage your device. so make sure you check the class rating when using an sd card.

So why and how can a higher class card damage your device? It's not like the phone can use the full power of the card anyways as the speed of the sd card is bottlenecked by the quality/performance of the reader in the phone.

Extremely untrue

Don't know where you got this info from, but it is incorrect. Class refers to the read/write speeds.

It is advised to not use a lower rating than listed on your device.

So full of sh*t this post. Higher class does not make it dangerous to any device. Is it like Class MacGuyver?
