SD card - Noob question just got phone

[bradyapba]

So Am i correct in saying the 8 mg card that comes with this phone, sits in the only SD slot on the phone? Meaning if i wanted 16 megs of space, i cant buy another 8 meg card, i would need to buy a 16 meg card to replace the 8 meg one?

Thanks.

You need to buy a 16meg card. Or you can by a 32 meg card.

yes you would need a 16 gig mem card. i currently have a 16 gig in my Droid 2 not to mention the additional 8 gigs already on the phone. i'm looking to get a 32 gig mem card once it goes way down in price. lol

Yeah the term is not megs it's gigs - ie. 16gb card or 32gb card. And the card is MicroSDHC but is more commonly just referred to as MicroSD since anything of such a high storage volume can only be an SDHC card anyway.

So what you guys are saying is. There is already a 8 gig mirco sd card in the phone, and to increase the mem, i need to take it out, and put a 16 gig card in? Thanks.

 

[Kimo91]

just remember you have 8 gig mem in the phone itself for apps storage not including the 8 gig memory card preinstalled in the sd card slot.

thanks kimo, that was confusing to me.

Late question coming in , I noticed when shopping around for a 16 gig card some say Class 2 and others say Class 4 , just what is the right class for the Droid and what is the difference anyways?

The difference is tranfer speeds.

 

[bradyapba]

The difference is only in write speeds, not read, so basically only when your transferring files from your PC. The Class 2 will do you just fine. Phones dont need the high rate of speed cards.

The difference is tranfer speeds.

So if I am reading other threads correct I want Class 4 to avoid problems that some seem to have with Class 2 and reboots.
