I was quite sceptic about it, but now I think it was worth, belive me. I bought Adata class 10 few weeks ago, generally I just wanted to move Dalvik-cache to SD to free up some space..

My phone didn't slow down as I ecpected, in fact it's faster than before. What is more, apps are launching significantly faster. Same thing about pictures, thumbnails, large documents. I've never had any problem with this card, no filesystem errors, no disappearing folders or anything.

Before I was using Sandisk Class 4 but there is nothing really to compare, although Spica's hardware is able to wirte max about 5-6 MB/s (on my sandisk class 4 three independent benchmarks showed write speed not bigger than 2 MB/s).

Totally worth it. Class 10 with apps2sd makes a really big difference. Even without apps2sd, you'll enjoy the speed.

Thanks for this information!

@sqlite: What benchmark app do you use for this speed test?

**sqlite** · 08-09-2011, 01:17 AM

I used SDcard speed tester (not available in Android Market anymore but I can give You a link to it) SD Tools, and another one that I don't really remember

(it was a system benchmark, very popular but I just don't remember it's name - i used it when i was on eclair)
