    Best SDHC or Micro for System use: Boot, tools, installs?


    I have a motley crew of oddball SD's and Micros, some high capacity some not. so far I have not seen one that would just flat fail in system chores, but I am wondering: what brand/part, or what Spec do you experts look for in such items?? I'm sure some are faster than others, and perhaps some more durable for lots of wipes/rewrites, storage of boot records, etc? I need to get a couple of higher capacity ones and wanted some advice before ordering.

    thanks!

    My answer is probably not quite what you are looking for, but I mostly just look at brand and price. I usually buy a SanDisk card because I'm familiar with the brand name and their usually a little cheaper than camparable Kingston cards. I've also only ever had one stop working in 6 years of buying them. Basically, if I haven't heard of the brand I stay away from it. since you asked about speed, below is a link to a wikipedia page that discribes the how the different speeds are catagorized for SD cards.

SDHC ReadyBoost Card Stops Boot Process ?

I have just installed a Integral 16 GB SDHC card and dedicated it to ReadyBoost. Windows default settings decided to only take about 4GB of it for ReadyBoost so the rest of it is available for general use.
