HTC Sensation MicroSD Memory Card

Best Memory Cards for the HTC Sensation

 

HTC Sensation Memory Card Types

There are 2 different types of memory cards that the HTC Sensation can use.

 

• Micro SD – This memory card format can hold up to 4GB of music, movies, video and pictures.
• Micro SDHC– This memory card that can hold up to 32GB of music, movies, video and pictures.

I must admit, there seems to be a bit of confusion when it comes to MicroSD and MicroSDHC cards. In the bigger picture, these memory cards are essentially the same thing. The only difference is that they have different storage sizes.

 

Micro SD cards can hold up to 4GB worth of music, movies, video and pictures.

Micro SDHC cards can hold up to 32GB worth of music, movies, video and pictures.

Other Vital Memory Card Information

Looking on the memory cards, you may often see #’s on its body. These #’s 2, 4, 6 and 10 represent how quickly data can be written and read from the card.

 

• Class 2 – Minimum of 2 MB/s performance. (Slowest)
• Class 4 – Minimum of 4 MB/s performance. (Average)
• Class 6 – Minimum of 6 MB/s performance.  (Above Average)
• Class 10 – Minimum of 10 MB/s performance. (Fastest)

Class 2 and 4 cards should be ok for use in the ChaCha. If you will be using these MicroSD/SDHC cards in a camera (With the SD adapter), then you better go for the faster speeds, especially if you will be recording HD video. The slower class 2 and 4 cards will give you an error if you use them for these high data demanding devices.

*Compatibility Issues

If you are one of those people who will be using the memory card in the computer to transfer images, movies and videos, then you need to check and see if the computer has the ability to read SDHC cards. Some computer models will have regular SD card readers and because of this, they’ll definitely not be able to read high-capacity memory cards. If you check and you realize that there is no SDHC support, then you will have to go out and get yourself a card reader. These devices are not expensive and you can get them for under $15.
