Supported SDHC cards

[pcp]

Hey all,


First of all, sorry if this has already been brought up. I tried searching the forums first, but I couldn't find any posts specifically on this subject.


So, I'm about to order 2 x Transcend Secure Digital 16GB SDHC (Class 10) cards. I was thinking of 2 x 32GB, but as I won't ever be watching videos on my Pandora (or listening to music), 32GB should be more than enough for the emulators, romsets and apps I will be using.


So, what I'm asking is, are there a list of supported SDHC cards? Does the Pandora support class 10 SDHC cards (shouldn't really matter afaik)?


Thanks!


BTW. I also checked the wiki, didn't say anything there either.

Most cards are fine, many here use the transcend ones without issue. I have 2 for example. Not sure if theres a list anywhere as most just work but watch where you buy.

Most (non-counterfeit) SDHC cards should be just fine. Speed-wise you will propably not get full benefit from Class 10 cards, but AFAIK they work.

According to this post on the old forums, the max data rate is 24Mb/s so class 10 is a bit excessive.

There's really no need for a list of "supported" cards, thankfully. Anything that works under Linux, should just work.


Truth be told, the only ones you're likely to have trouble with are false-capacity fakes, and possibly ultra-super-cheap-and-nasty ones that nobody would touch with a ten-foot bargepole anyway.


EDIT: Wow, super-ninja'd. I'm getting slow!

Wow, I have to say I'm amazed by how swift this community responds.


Thanks guys for the lightning fast replies. These are definitely not fake as I'm ordering them from a reputed Norwegian retailer.


Thanks again!

you should get 1x32 instead of 2x16, it'll be cheaper and you'll still have the option to add more later if needed


i've seen some reviewers using transcend so don't worry, the pandora has no compatibility issue, and transcend makes the best bargain of SD cards so lots of people use them


i received my 32G this morning!

Well, I like to put something in both holes (lol that sounded all wrong I know).

I have that exact configuration of 2 x 16gb cards (Transcend class 10) and they're working fine in my Pandora.


The extra speed will be handy for loading stuff on to them from my desktop PC, or if I swap one of them in to use in a camera.
