5.0 out of 5 stars Wicked Fast MicroSDHC Card!, April 12, 2009

This review is from: Transcend 8 GB microSDHC Flash Memory Card TS8GUSDHC6 (Personal Computers)

I specifically ordered this memory card for my Blackberry Curve 8330 with two goals in mind.

1: Store videos and music on my phone
2: Expanded memory for applications and documents

On both counts I have not been let down! This card is wicked fast when it comes to file transfers via the Blackberry software. I had expected, indeed planned, for a bit of a "hit" when using the RIM software to expedite file transfers (play lists, music, and videos) but if there is one I am not seeing it.

The included adapter is a handy add on bonus as I do have quite a few microSD cards lying around and can now use those for other devices that accept SD cards.

Oh, and it IS a Class 6 card.

5.0 out of 5 stars Noticeable Difference Between Class 4 and Class 6, August 2, 2009

By 

David "mdavidf" (Salem, OR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Transcend 8 GB microSDHC Flash Memory Card TS8GUSDHC6 (Personal Computers)

I purchased this 8GB - Class 6, upgrading from an 8GB - Class 4, because I needed the faster read/write speeds on my cell phone.

After installing it, I immediately noticed a faster response in the data transfer speeds. My ringtones, music, and pictures loaded faster, even when receiving a call.

I recommend upgrading to the Class 6 to anyone wanting/needing fast transfer rates.

The data transfer rates of SD Cards are:

(Read Speed of a Standard CD-ROM = 150 kb/s)
Class 2 - (Equivalent to ~13x the read speed of a Standard CD-ROM) - 2 MB/s
Class 4 - (Equivalent to ~26x the read speed of a Standard CD-ROM) - 4 MB/s
Class 6 - (Equivalent to ~40x the read speed of a Standard CD-ROM) - 6 MB/s

So, as you can see, the Class 6 is approximately 50% faster than a Class 4.

I own 6 micro SDHC cards which I use to store a variety of images and files for access on a number of devices. I have 4 Transcend Micro SDHC 16gb cards which are clearly the fastest (data transfer, class 6) and most reliable cards that I have used.
