I bought a Samsung Plus 4GB MicroSD and as well as the graphical problems in Final Fantasy III's Intro, games such as Pokemon Black lag at times, where they have ran smoothly on my Kingston 2GB Japanese Card.

So now I have to buy another MicroSD card as this one just won't cut it anymore. Any suggestions on a fast, high performance card that isn't too expensive?

 

I wonder why people always have trouble with flash cards? Where are you buying these things from?
Just buy through a reputable place, newegg, amazon come to mind.

Edit: I guess I should put some info in this post. This is the card I use, no problems with it.

I ordered my MicroSD from Amazon, which had the cheapest price. I am normally careful when ordering online

I just did some more tests and it turns out it's a firmware issue (tests on my 2gb, which for some reason had a different loader that didn't produce graphic glitches). Though I still need another SD care as I have now ordered a supercard dstwo.

Edit - I just did a search on Amazon for Transcend and it turns out they do in fact stock them. I was always under the impression that they didn't but I bookmarked the link and will probably buy it at a later date.

 

You shoud realy buy an micro sdhc from kingston,(class 4 or 6) you know micro sd card class are some big deal cause they can read and copy more fast.

 

Citation?
I've never seen anything about this, I would venture the guess that it's more related to cheap brands or Chinese/Taiwan manufactured cards (both which have a whole host of issues: lower quality, 'ghost runs' (cards unofficially manufactured off-hours by employees often using sub-standard or defective parts), counterfeits, etc).


And I'll take a loose correlation between Write Speed -> Read Speed -> Random Access speed over POSSIBILITIES of multi-billion dollar companies lying about specs and 'evidence-lacking reports' of class rating being related to a chance of corruption.

 

Anytime I buy a micro sd for any reason I stick to kingston brand. The reason is they have a lifetime warranty and if it breaks you just go to their website and fill out a form. Then you send it back and they send a replacement. The only cost is shipping the old card to them. You can also find them pretty cheap at newegg.

 

Thanks for posting everyone.

I've found decent prices for both A-DATA 4GB (8GB is too expensive) and Transcend 8 GB on Amazon, so now it's a matter of which one to get. Of course it would be smart if I got both but right now I only need one.

Edit - After some searching I might settle with A-DATA for now.
