As in, how soon will the SD Card crash due to increased wear? From what I read it's unlikely to occur and if it does it takes a long time i.e. years.

If anyone's curious into how this works and it's benefits here's an excellent post: http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1310309

painfully slow for me.  But seeing that 800+ free was fun.

[stonebear]

This looks very interesting!

I will have to try this.

@Smelious, what SD card do you have? Mine is Class 10 so hopefully OK. But if you are already using link2sd - this shouldn't be any slower should it?

Actually, since I have started using link2sd I found some things slow at first but then they got back to normal.

Nice work Techno.

edit
Does it have the Titanium Backup bug of the original?

Edited by stonebear, 15 December 2011 - 03:49 AM.

[TechnoLover]

it can be slower than link2sd because data is also written on sdcard, so you should have a sdcard which has a high random write and read speed
You can say that your sdcard is now your internal space

which titanium backup bug?

[chemicalbuz]

is it compatible with t_l_Metal_2.3.6_13_Boot_1600Mhz_Battery1-100  fix?

Mine is also class 10.   I'm going to give it a full days workout today, see how it goes.

@ chemicalbuz

you can try, but I don't know, if it supports init.d...




a class 2 can be faster than a class 10 in random read / write, so that doesn't matter...

It just says there is a "known bug", bottom of the first post http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1310309

[TechnoLover]

it's without that bug

Yea, I have just been reading a bit about it.


It seems this http://crystalmark.i...rk/index-e.html is the best test for random read/writes.

My class 10 will probably be bad cos it seems the manufacturers sacrifice random read/write for maximum sequential speeds, doh!

And this http://forums.whirlp...s.cfm?t=1582172 shows the fastest random 4k R/W are class 2 and class 4 cards.

I have just tested the sandisk class 4 that the phone came with and my Play class 10, I tested 4k random r/w

Sandisk class 4 = 1.985/0.015

Play class 10    = 2.807/0.016

So both are pretty awful when it comes to random 4k write - "apparently the 4k write speed is most important".

The best 4k random write was a Sandisk class 4 8GB.

I am gonna get one to try.

I also have a Sandisk Mobile Ultra on the way, lol.
