FYI:

my sensation is running on a:32 GB Class 10 microSDHC card from the brand: "mustang flash", i like the overall speed as sandisk (only) has class4 32MB cards

labelled:

reading max speed 30MB p/s

writing max speed 15MB p/s

i was able to see a sustained real life test of 18.7MB for reading and 10.2 MB on writing on a usb3 host card with a usb2 reader/writer (waiting for a usb3 microsdhc reader).
[HTC Sensation] thechefcooks:
mine was a 8GB sandisk class 4
[HTC Sensation] daSn00p:
so about a third slower then labelled... hmm

dont think it will be much faster with an usb 3 card reader, cause even usb2 can go faster if the card could.

can u determine if its any other brand just labelled with an mustang sticker?
[HTC Sensation] xko:
lexar

i have Lexar 32GB class 10

and is very slow

writing speed: 7.5 mb/s

reading speed: 17.3 mb/s

and i dont know why

[HTC Sensation] recondo1202:
What method/process did you use to test speeds? Are these speeds consistent over mutliple tests?

That's the card I was looking to purchase because the reviews on Amazon are all amazing.
[HTC Sensation] KiaOrana:
I just bought that card from amazon and obtain exactly the same result.

I tested it on my sensation with an app called Sd tool which is available from the market.

I haven't tested in it in real life yet. I will transfer my music tonight and let you know.

I'm a bit disappointed tbh
[HTC Sensation] xko:
bad results

i did same

Same Lexar Class 10 32gb card w/ these results from 'SD Tools' from the market:

Write: 8.5 MB/s

Read: 19.0 MB/s

This is on my rooted T-Mo US Sensation, so I suppose I could mess w/ the write-cache to see if it helps, but I don't know that it would for benchmarking or writing large files.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
What? Really?
[HTC Sensation] daSn00p:
thechefcooks:

can u test the rates IN the phone.

i dont care about optimal speeds with an usb3 card and an usb3 reader because i dont want to take out the card all the time.

so as long as the sensation just got an usb2 port everything else is useless.

so maybe u can test the mustnag card inside the sensation with sd tools and u would do me a big favour if u test to copy same 100 mp3 fiels once to the inboxed class4 card and then to the mustang card. pls do it both when the card is INSIDE the sensation.

if u or anybody else got a class 6 card i would be gald if u could do the same.

big thx to everyone who does!!!

If anyone is looking for the Lexar 32gb MicroSD Class 10, Staples UK have them for £59.99.

If you're lucky and the store price matches like mine did, you will be able to price match Lambadatek and get it for £39.30.
[HTC Sensation] rm1984:
What are T&Cs for the Price Match :confused:
[HTC Sensation] fz9999:
Good question and hopefully ieen comes back with an answer.

I had a look on Staples website and they say you have to ask in-store :rolleyes:

Usually price matching is done with local stores and lambdatek is based in Oxford I think.
[HTC Sensation] rm1984:
Just looking on the staples website can't find anything relating to there price promise t&cs :(.

Hopefully the deal is true, wouldn't mind 32gb card for £40.
[HTC Sensation] ieen:
Apologies on the delay in replying..

T&C's are technically a price match within ten miles of the store, and it's 110%. So they match 100% of the price and then do 10% off from the difference too.

However, it's up to the management discretion at times if they want to match a website price. I know the manager in the store I went to was more than happy to match the Lambadatek website price but he didn't do the 110% just a 100%.

No harm in trying really?

(Inside knowledge: the line is a slow performing line (relatively new though) so some managers may be willing to do this, but do not take this as a 100% guarantee they may.)
[HTC Sensation] rm1984:
Tried Staples (Birmingham) earlier no such luck :(

[HTC Sensation] ieen:
Which store did you try? Aston, Shirley, West Brom?
[HTC Sensation] rm1984:
Aston, said because it was more then £20 difference they wouldn't Price match it :(

I'm currently using a Patriot 32 GB class 10 card that I picked up from Fry's Electronics for around $80.

It works extremely well. So far it avering a transfer rate of 10 MB's per second. It peaks at a higher rate but I have not seem it go below 10 MB. I was very impressed as I transferred about 8 GB's of data using Windows Media player.

I definitely recommend this card.
[HTC Sensation] Treikens:
Durability?

I think the scariest thing to me is having 32gbs of data crash/corrupt on me. And losing all my pictures and notes. Are their some testimonials from anyone about their class ten card lasting for months/years no problems?

Who has had their card the longest?

32GB LEXAR Class 10

TESTED AND WORKING FLAWLESSLY.

IMO and from my experience, if I would give one advice, don't bother with Class 2 cards especially @ 32GB. It's worthless. Save your pennies, collect cans, skip a weekend out with the boys...do whatever to get yourself something worth while. Consider how frequent you use your phone. It's worth investing in...

Right. So it sounds like a majority of the people here got stiffed and they don't know it yet? To be fair there is amazon.com review making the same point.

Sounds like the only reliable option at the moment is Lexar

NewEgg: 32GB PNY micro SD class 10 in stock - $56.99

Hey guys, just wanted to give you a heads up that the 32GB PNY micro SD class 10 is in stock at NewEgg for $56.99. Currently, the 32GB has no reviews but the 16GB micro SD class 10 version has received good reviews so far. I ordered it and will let you guys know the read/write speeds.

Also, there's a $10 off coupon code if you're a new customer. I already had an accout, but created a new one under my wife's name and email and it let me use the coupon. Here's the $10 off coupon code: NEWCUSTOMER10 (must spend at least $50). Total for me was $46.99, which is a great price if it works well with the HTC S4G.

XDA forums won't let me post a link because I'm a new user with less than 8 posts. But as of 8:00am PST, NewEgg has them in stock. Get 'em while you can. It's worth it for this price and if it's not compatible you can always return it.

[Edit]: Wow, that was fast. It was in stock before I posted and I just checked the link and it's Out of Stock. Sorry guys. :(
[HTC Sensation] mdwsac:
Yea I saw the PNY deal last night and I just couldn't bite with no reviews. Now they are all gone. I think there are a few other sites selling them for around that price.
[HTC Sensation] Dolphinwigs:
Hey doesn't seem like anyone here has mentioned this. BE CAREFUL! Cheaper isn't always better. You do not know if it is a good card until you fill the card up all the way and put it in the phone to use it. there are MANY MANY FAKE cards out their. They are hacked to read to be higher capacity/speed. for instance i have a card that is stamped to be SanDisk 32gb 6speed 10 mg/s but its really a 2 gb card. some are 8 gb cards hacked to look like 32. so no one ever realizes it until they fill it and things don't work, or disappear after putting it in the phone and trying to use it.

just giving the heads up since no one said anything. don't buy cards from china or ebay in my experience. or sometimes amazon. make sure its a reputable company and the seller has a solid customer base.
[HTC Sensation] heq78:
Yup, I never buy memory cards on eBay. I usually buy SanDisk and Transcend memory cards, but I couldn't find those brands in the size 32GB microSD at a class 6 or faster. I do have a Transcend 16GB class 6 from Amazon on order and it should be here tomorrow, so if the PNY doesn't work I'll just return it to NewEgg.

PNY is a somewhat respectable brand (IMHO better than ADATA, RIDATA, etc) and buying it directly from NewEgg helps too assuring that it's not a fake card.

[HTC Sensation] :
Just got my Lexar class10 32gb card and can say write speed averages 10.5 and read speed 20.3. That has only slightly better write speed than my Sandisk Mobile Ultra but not as good read speed, so what does that mean, did I get screwed?
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
No, you didn't get screwed.

Class 10 official specs state a minimum write speed of 10 and a minimum read speed of 10, and your card exceeds both figures.

Had mine on order for a while from Dabs, starting to think i'll never get it. My Sensation arrives today and i was hoping to use it in that but it looks unlikely for a while.
[HTC Sensation] lysergic:
Interesting, how long is a while? Did they contact you with an estimate at all?
[HTC Sensation] nzxtneo:
For what it's worth, I called Patriot Support and they told me they have now officially fixed the compatibility issues with their SD cards on Android and Windows Phone 7. They didn’t say what the fix actually entailed, but I did find this post on their website dated 3/23/2011.

http://www.patriotmemory.com/forums...SDHC-Class-10-on-Android-and-Windows-7-Phones

So, I guess the fix the rep spoke of is their permanent solution for this issue?

I wonder if they just revised the format on their new cards to FAT32, allocation size 32kb. I will check with Minitools when I get home.

Regardless, I picked up a 16gb Class 10 on Newegg a week before the Sensation came out and I haven’t had any problems with it at all.

Note that "class 10" means a minimum speed of writing, in megabytes per second (MB/s)

Usually this is higher than the 'Class' says.

Oh, this is posted already..

You'll get all potential of this only, if you use it as external storage, with good memory card reader. Maximum download speed is usually ~2 MB, if you download via internet, depending your connection. Data transfer to LAN FTP is moving approx. same speed..

I bought an OEM UNBranded 32 GB Micro SD Card from a reputable seller

considering fakes are out there.

i first tested it on windows and filled the whole card up with H2testw free testing software, it filled with my device with 30 1 GB files writing at 10.5 megabytes per second and then verified all of them reading 18.5 MB per second.

So that verified its 32 GB capacity as true and the read write speeds as class 10

Then i used sdcardspeedtest.apk on my phone and when i opened it in my device and tested the sd card, it reported a write speed of 10 MB per second and read speed of 15 MB per second. and notified me it believes my card to be a class ten based on its test it conducted as the lowest write speed was 10 mb/s

and i picked it up for £36 including postage ($57).

that was from ebay,

That was a good deal!
[HTC Sensation] MaxReality:
As well as fakes that fail quickly. Genuine cards are also sold, that have failed testing at the factory, so they may work fine but may not be as reliable. For the sake of a few pounds, definately worth getting a factory sealed package from a well known shop. For a little more peace of mind. :)
[HTC Sensation] Xxul:
so can anyone finally just say which 32GB class 10 car dis the FASTEST and the BEST?
[HTC Sensation] lysergic:
Well no, don't think so.

In the UK there is serious shortage of 32GB class 10 cards. The usual shops have them in back order. The few retailers that have stock sell for 50% more than the asking price of the people out of stock.

Hey I guys, I ran a few benchmarks comparing some microSDHC cards I had laying around. I tested them in my Sensation, so these figures should help others wondering about the speed benefits.

microSDHC Performance Benchmarks Class 10 Class 6 Class 2

For those that just want the facts. The speed benefits of class 10 over class 6 are minimal. At least that is what I found with the Lexar class 10.
[HTC Sensation] radiikal:
Do not use class 10 card on sensation!!!

ok...i used a Patriot Class 10 32GB on Sensation. Sensation recognized all the files and apps in the card...in fact i'm up and running and everything went smoothly...for one day...the next day, i have many FCs on all the apps that i moved to SD card. Use file manager to explore the card, it says No SD Card detected.

so i took out the card and put it into card reader, windows say the card bad. Use Minitool partition wizard, it says it's a 6GB card and didn't allow me to format. Windows can't format the card either.

so i have to use another card from my camera, which is a Transcend Class 10 16GB. Sensation couldn't recognize the card!

so i loaded in another card, Kingston Class 4 16GB...WHAM, SENSATION SAW IT!

DO NOT USE CLASS 10 CARD...THAT'S MY ADVICE!
