Hacking Micro SDHC Brands & Class No.

[ssskyy]

Hi, I've been to the stores in my local area looking for micro SDHC cards, higher than class 4 and these are my options:

ScanDisk ultra card, 4gb, class 6, $10
ScanDisk ultra card, 16gb, class 10, $40

Fuli, 4gb, class 10, $30
Fuji, 8gb, class 10, $50
Fuji, 16gb, class 10, $80

Lexar, 8gb, class 10, $40
Lexar, 16gb, class 10, $60

Do you recommend one brand more than another?

Is class 6 all that's needed or is class 10 better for this kind of stuff?

Oh and I've decided to get a Supercard DSTWO.

Thanks

Class-10 is usually considered overkill, with class-4 and class-6 being the ones to aim for. If that's all that's available Sandisk and Lexar are reputable brands (as they actually produce), but going for a class-6 can save you some cash.

Class 6 has never given me any sort of trouble with my SCDS2.
Most people I have talked to say the same thing about class 4.
The only brand I actively recommend is A-data, and the only company I actively recommend buying from is Newegg.
They get my business because I've never had any problems out of either.

EDIT: Just noticed your words "In your local area"
In that case, I have no recommendations of one brand over another for you.

class 10 overkill for all device except for DSLR/HD Camera or any device required LARGE data write at burst speed.
I got mine for $16 for 32GB, with lifetime warranty, yeah it's localstore area, with localbrand.
Go with the cheapest class 4/6 with longest warranty

You will find Class 6 to be trouble free, as for the brand, i would not recommend any of those that you have listed.

Don't buy them at that store! those are terrible prices, even for those cheap brands.
Look online for better deals. I recommend amazon. (just steer away from sandisk microSD from ebay. too many fakes...)

Alrighty then... throw some good brands at me and I'll see what I can get me online!

Stay away from Kingston because the quality varies. Kinkgston doesn't produce cards, they re-sell cards produced by other companies.

As for brands known to produce quality consistently, Transcend and A-Data are recommended by many people here (Transcend being my personal suggestion).

I just picked up another 32gb class 10 from tigerdirect for about $36 with the shipping. Its a wintek card and its my second one , I bought this one for my tablet and I love it

I generally recommend Sandisk Class 2 (this one has higher reading speed than some of the Class 4 microSD) or Samsung microSD lineup.

I do NOT recommend Kingston and Lexar microSD.

The brand i use and would recommend is Transcend.
