I just said it was higher that the others the Monk3y listed. 1. Fair enough. Will | WilliamLiuPhotography.com

monk3y Totally Saturated  More info | Mar 20, 2012 13:15 | #3198 Hey Will...care to check this statement? What do you think? Class 2 and 4 cards have better random access speed and random read/write than class 6 or 10 cards in general. To get higher sequential write speeds, manufacturers sacrifice the random access speeds. That's just how it is. The best all around card I've ever found is Sandisk class 4. My 32gb Sandisk class 4 outperforms any other class 10 or 2 32gb card I've tested in the random access and random read/write speeds. That's what's most important when using with WP7 or Android when using it for apps or OS files that need to be accessed quickly. Class 6 and 10 cards are setup to initialize the area of the card that is about to be used to make the sequential write/read quicker, but it takes extra time in the beginning to do the initialization. If your using the card where you need to access small bits of info from various parts of card quickly, you will do best with class 2 or 4. Most people seem to assume that the higher the class, the better the card is for everything, but that's not how it is. Different purposes need different kinds of speed... cards with higher sequential speeds have lower random speeds.

Class 10 definitely for cameras, though. | Canon EOS Systems |

What do you think? http://forum.xda-developers.com …p?p=14456360&postcount=42 I am not sure, without good benchmarks I don't really know the random access or sequential access speeds of the cards. I don't really know if there is a huge difference either way, I'd go with whatever you want and not sweat it too much Will | WilliamLiuPhotography.com

monk3y Totally Saturated More info | Mar 20, 2012 13:18 | #3202 20droger wrote in post #14120103 All joking aside, I'd never use 32GB cards. That's a lot of eggs to put in one basket in the event of card loss or failure. We use 4GB cards exclusively. They hold a decent number of images, and they back up perfectly to a single DVD. To each his own. hehe ohhh I am going to use it on a Phone... its a big phone and I think I'm going to use it for a while so I want a big memory card to go with it so I could store tons of stuff. personally I only use 8GB and 16GB for my camera themadman wrote in post #14120111 5D3 uses dual cards. So I got this SD card to go along with their Extreme Pro CF card. Oddly their CF card is only rated at 90MB/s when the SD is rated at 95MB/s. ahhh wow!!! how much is that? $150?

Besides, everything has a limited lifetime, even diamonds (sorry DeBeers). It all ends on Dec 21, doesn't it. I do use good ones, I use to use Verbatims, now I use Taiyo Yudens. Just warning you, even good ones have a limited life span. Will | WilliamLiuPhotography.com
