So i just got my DSTwo it look awesome and super badass. Ive been reading about all the different Micro SD cards but hearing alot of mixed things. I would prefer a 32gb (why not get the biggest i can use i for multiple things) at least class 6 or 10 if it actaully works.
Hears what i heard:
-Kingston is good when they work but 16gb and above fail alot
-a-data and transcends are really good
-class 10 sometimes has problem/breaking (overclocking?) and not always compatible with everything
-sandisk is average
what are all of your thoughts on this matter?
A Kingston card of mine failed after a year.
Sandisk is the average at Class 2's and 4's available on the super-cheap.
32GB card is great for a PSP, but I'd hold off and get 16GB for NDS.
A really great brand to look into is AmazonBasics. They make the best Class 10 16GB MicroSD, which on-average gets 15MB/s transfer rates, which is 50% better than Class 10 promises.
I've recently signed up for a free trial of Amazon Prime, so I've been trying out their AmazonBasics line of merchandise and I'm pretty satisfied.
I'm an A-Data, Amazon, and Sandisk user, and all 3 cards have not failed me. My Sandisk is as old as CycloDS was new, and its still working.
A-Data was great for PSP games, but AmazonBasics gave me the same storage and 2x more speed at a cheaper price.
The only thing I own thats Transcend is a USB card reader. Can't comment on their SD cards.
For NDS, a 16GB card holds around 200 or more NDS games, give or take. I happen to have alot of 64-256MB games too.
I now use an A-Data on my DSTwo, and noticed that some games create new game data much quicker than it did on a Class2. Personal Trainer which takes a minute+ to create new data, took the A-Data like 10 seconds.
I recommend getting Class 10 cards as they're semi-needed for HD phones, but the NDS/Flashcart performs comfortably at Class 4. PSP performs comfortably at Class 6.
I own 9 MicroSD cards (Most are 16GB), I personally favor my Amazon Basics that I use exclusively for PSP.
