Trouble finding a MicroSDHC card

Mainly, I am having trouble finding a GOOD high-speed MicroSDHC card, at least class 6.

I typically prefer Transcend, but unfortunately, they only make 32gig MicroSDHC cards in Class 2 or 4.

I have found several Class 6 and 10 cards on Amazon and Newegg.... but there are many complaints of speed tests showing them barely hitting class 2 or 4 speeds. (My 16GB Transcend Class 6 card is one of the fastest I have ever seen).

Anyone have any recommendations for a good Class 6+ card (which is ACTUALLY CLass6+) that won't break the bank? I have been searching for a few days and couldn't come up with anything.

Try looking for benchmarks rather than straight rating. The Sandisk class4 16G benched pretty high. The Lexar class10 32G too.

Yeah, I tried looking for benchmarks too, but I couldn't find any recent ones and many were from a few years ago, thanks for posting one from last November.

Although unfortunately, this benchmark only tests two 32GB cards.

Sorry for the long absence.

I tried that, I coulden't find much results.

In fact, the very first result for that in Google is this very topic!

I have also been looking for a fast 32GB Micro SDHC card for a vHoldr Contour HD camera. I may try the Lexard card. One thing to keep in mind with the reviews is that sometimes it is the device that can't handle the card, rather than the card not being fast enough.

I know, thats why I decided to be safe rather than sorry. If my card is too fast for the phone then all that means is it won't operate at full speed, better that than my card being too slow.

Problem is even if I decide to bite the bullet and buy a class 4 Transcend card......... there are people complaining that its not reaching Class4 speeds and rates more like a class 2 >.<

I seem to be screwed no matter what route I take, and am seriously running out of space on my phone, I NEED a new card fast.

Actually, in some cases, the phone won't operate with a card that is too fast for it installed.
