Hacking Bottleneck for microSDHC cards on DS/3DS

[Knuffipuffi]

Hi there,
i was woundering if there is a bottleneck on the DS or the Flashcards and if there is one which is the limit ?
I am asking this questin because i am going the buy a SDHC card but dont know which class to pick up (they differ in price the higher the class)
and another questen i have is, if there is a bottleneck for the DS is there a known bottleneck for 3DS ?
I was reading trough the stickies and couldnt find a answer too it so i hope its not important what kind of speed the microSDHC cards have.
tanks in advance

Hi there,

I am asking this questin because i am going the buy a SDHC card but dont know which class to pick up (they differ in price the higher the class) If your worried about the cost, your going to be too cheap and get a crappy micoSDHC. Lowest class rating from other users is a class 2.
and another questen i have is, if there is a bottleneck for the DS is there a known bottleneck for 3DS ? Same as the DS, the user is the bottleneck.

Thanks for the wiki link but i do know already the different classes of microSDHC.
Wasnt sure about the Flashcards though and the DS itself.
Judging from your post: you dont know it either or saying i should get a micro above class 2.
Thank you.

class 2 is very common, not soo fast
class 4 is now avaible on bigger microsd , i got here 8gb class 4 as microsd
but
class 6 the fastest are very expensive so rare on the market. when shop don't say the class of the microsd usually is 2 . i still didn't see a class 6 microsd until now

Class speed is minimum writing speed. It has nothing to do with reading speed.

For example, Sandisk Class 2 writes slow, but reading speed is much faster than a Kingston Class 4.

i have a 16 gb class 10 microSD from patriot. very fast.
The thing to note about the bottleneck speed is that it is very hardware dependant. specificially the bios of the device you're running it on.

for example, the patriot i'm using right now has a 11 meg write speed when writing from the computer onto the micro SD through an adapter. But you do a write test with the HTC legend and you only get 2.4 write speed whereas the galaxy has a 4.7 write speed.

it depends on what the BIOS supports.
as for the DS, i dont know what its limit is.

as for cost, my 16 gb patriot was only 40$. pretty cheap, very sturdy, very fast.
hope this helps
