32GB microSDHC card?

[afbar1114]

is it worth getting a 32gb microsd card? will it make the phone faster or is it just for more memory?

tell you what, mail me one and i will tell you how it works!!

the sd card is for storage. the only way it would change the speed of your phone would be if you got a different class card. higher class faster card.

And that's only if the system/hardware supports the higher classes.

I wouldn't spend $200 for a SD card just to possibly make the phone a little faster. Root+custom rom+overclock= FREE.. You can spend that $200 for a new phone. Having two phones will be way faster.

newegg has 32g for 90. im thinking of getting one. not for the speed so much as the extra storage.

Isn't it weird how thread titles change when I'm around?

Anyways, if you have some time to kill, I would get this Lexar class 10 card. It's averaging $90, through 3rd party resellers, but it's also on backorder. I ordered mine through Amazon.

yeah i saw the 3gb, i thought do they even make a 3gb?

a class 10 for 90, oooooooooo

 

[Chris Kerrigan]

Yeah I ordered mine when I first saw this (I think somewhere here on the forums, actually). That's a steal.

The OP said 3gb in his thread title and I changed it to 32, thinking that's what he meant. Now you're saying 3 also. Am I misunderstanding or are you kidding? Anyway I wish that sucker would get out of back order status, I really want it. I'm thinking it might solve some of the lag I see in Touchdown and Roadsync, because I have both programs configured to store data on the SD card instead on internal memory. Another member in the forums bought and has the Lexar and reported it performs extremely well.

And it would only make a difference when the phone was reading/writing stuff from/to the SD card - not in the normal running on the OS.

Checking Amazon.com now and looks like that SD card only sells with a reader for $108, but the note indicates "usually ships within 1 to 2 months"!

By the way, this is my first post and I was wondering what is a 'Nanite' ??

 

[Cory Streater]

Yeah that's indeed the length of time mine said too. Often times Amazon gives you these ridiculous time frames that end up being a lot sooner. Not saying it won't take that long, but if past is any indication of the future, it will be much sooner.

The label is based on post count. A nanite is 49 or less. All the various levels are in the AC Meta forum.

Thanks for becoming a member!

Hey so did you guys get these cards in yet? if so, how are they performing? I transfer lots of 1-2gb size video files often and a class 10 should improve the time it takes right? Lastly, I was wondering, if comparing a 16gb vs. a 32gb, same class, same manufacturer, will it take longer for the phone to scan the disk because there is more to scan? assuming they both have 10gb filled.

 

[Cory Streater]

I ordered mine on January 17th, and it finally shipped yesterday. It's due for delivery on Monday. I'll report back and let you know what I think. I'll be pulling out the benchmarking tools and everything

There is a wintec on new egg class 10 for $82.

I haven't done any official benchmarking tests yet, but I did do a pretty large file transfer (mix of files/sizes).

You know how long it took me to transfer 22GB of data from my Lexar to my desktop? 22 minutes. You know how long it took me to transfer the same amount from my Sandisk to my desktop? 21 minutes.

I have one and if anything it makes everything a little less stable. I never had to "undock" from windows before and now I do. I almost wish I never upgraded from 16GB.

hmm... now i'm not so gungho about finding one in stock... are you using a lexar? or do you have a 32gb from sandisk? I'm wondering if the stability issue you're talking about has anything to do with the manufacturer.
And thanks Cory for taking the time to reply about a seemingly trivial topic amidst the plethora of themes/roms/flashing issues since 2.2

Once we get froyo we can save apps to the SD card which would be nice.

No problem at all. These cards are expensive purchases, and people should know what they are getting before they put out their hard earned money on them. My above observations were very non scientific, so I will post some results in a bit. I'll update this post when I have them.

P.S. - I've seen the Windows error above with my Sandisk also. I wouldn't let that deter you from buying one. I've seen that error on all sorts of cards in the past, and I'm not really sure what triggers it.
