Speed Class Rating

The SD Association defines standard speed classes indicating minimum performance to record video. Both read and write speeds must exceed the specified value. These are defined in terms of suitability for different applications:[39]

Class 2 for SD video recording
Class 4 and 6 for HD ~ Full HD video recording,
Class 10 for Full HD video recording and HD still consecutive recording
UHS Speed Class 1 for real-time broadcasts and large-size HD videos

The specification defines these classes in terms of performance curves which translate into the following minimum performance levels, for both read and write, on an empty card:[40]

Class Minimum performance
SDHC Speed Class 2.svg Class 2 2 MB/sec
SDHC Speed Class 4.svg Class 4 4 MB/sec
SDHC Speed Class 6.svg Class 6 6 MB/sec
SDHC Speed Class 10.svg Class 10 10 MB/sec

Speed Classes 2, 4, and 6 assert that the card supports the respective number of megabytes per second as a minimum sustained write speed for a card in a fragmented state. Class 10 asserts that the card supports 10 MB/s as a minimum non-fragmented sequential write speed.[40] By comparison, the older "×" rating measured maximum speed under ideal conditions, and was vague as to whether this was read speed or write speed.

The host device can read a card's speed class, unlike the earlier "×" speed ratings. A device can warn the user if the card reports a speed class that falls below an application's minimum need.[40]

very good..................Krafty.................

i also read that the class ratings for the different brands can mean different specs.................seems that SanDisk has the best specs..............

Get Class 4 should be suffice.

i think buy from the shops better unless you have assurance that the online store is reliable.

i went fuwell to buy an APC recently, i think they are ok.

btw, you can check out few shops behind on level 4 or 5, should be ok too.

*remember to compare the product serial online and the one that you going to buy*

cheers!

how ah ? hp can use class 6 microSd ?

 

[Cestbon]

Higher speed is needed for full HD video recording class 10.
For photo or music class 4 will do.

It depend if your hand phone can handle 6 or not, 4 is enough for multiple burst shots on a digital camera liao

class 4 is enough but since class 6 cost 1 USD more so why not but i'll ask HTC is my phone can use class 6..........


i heard that class 4 will be gradually phased out soon.................is it true ?

I think the question is not whether the phone can use or cannot use the higher class. The question should be whether it can take advantage of the higher class memory.

Nope if ur phone don't support class 6...u either wont be able to detect de card or phone return a card error...

U will be able to find the info either in de phone manual or go online to chk the spec.
