Hey, so here's the deal... Micro SD cards is usually any card 2GB or less, Micro SDHC - HC means High Capacity and is any card thats 4GB - 32GB Micro SCXC - XC means Extended Capactiy and is any card greater that 64GB. Soo....the suffix after Micro SD just is dependant on the size card you are buying and doesn't denote quality or speed writing speeds. If your buying a 32gb card its going to be a SDHC card. the biggest thing you should look for is class, which will be on the front of the card or packaging and will be a number inside a circle, (either 2,4,6,8,10). The higher the number, the faster the card can store and retrieve information to the card. for a tablet or cellphone i would buy a 8, or 10. Hope this helps. The Samsung - EVO+ 32GB microSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card would work great for your tablet.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The first thing to consider when getting a memory card is where you're going to use it. Different cameras, camcorders, and smartphones use different sizes of card, and while you can start with the smallest and use adapters to work your way up, it's generally best to use the card size intended for the device. The standard SD card is the largest and has been in use the longest, measuring 32 by 24 by 2.1 mm (HWD), weighing 2 grams, and showing the signature cut-corner profile SD cards are known for. Most digital cameras you can buy today use standard-size SD cards. Even though they're the largest SD card, they're still very small, and are dwarfed by the CompactFlash cards used by professional photographers in high-end digital cameras, like the $5,000 Canon 1D Mark IV. However, the cards can get even smaller. MiniSD cards, the least frequently used format these days, measure 21.5 by 20 by 1.4 mm (HWD) and weigh just a gram, making them just over a third the volume and taking up just over half the area of a full-size SD card. Instead of cut corners, miniSD cards have a tapered corner to help you orient the card when putting it in a slot. This design aspect follows with the smallest of the SD cards, the microSD card. MicroSD cards, which are used in most cell phones and smartphones, are downright Lilliputian, measuring 15 by 11 by 1 mm (HWD) and weighing only half a gram. With a total volume of 165 mm3, you could fit nine microSD cards inside a single SD card (though realistically, with the slight lip found on the end of microSD cards, you could probably only squeeze in six). Generally, microSD cards cost slightly more than SD cards of the same size and speed class, but that, along with the physical size are the only effective differences. Capacity This one is very simple. SD cards offer different storage capacities, and that amount of space determines the card's size classification. Odds are the microSD card in your smartphone isn't a microSD card. It's a microSDHC card, or Micro Secure Digital High Capacity. "Standard" SD cards max out at 2GB capacity, based on their classification and the controller used by SD-only devices. Most SD cards you'll find today are technically SDHC, with capacities between 4GB and 32GB. The largest class is SDXC, or Secure Digital Extended Capacity, can range from 64GB to 2TB. (Currently, no cards actually get anywhere near 2TB; the largest capacity available is 128GB.) While larger is better, you need to make sure your device can use the larger card. The SD/SDHC/SDXC classification isn't just for cards, but for devices as well. Older digital cameras can only read SD cards, making SDHC cards useless. Similarly, cameras that aren't SDXC-compatible won't accept 64GB cards. Most current devices are SDHC compatible, but double-check your older devices before getting SDHC cards, and check the specs on your newer gear before getting SDXC cards. Speed Class SD cards are also available in various speeds. If you're using a point-and-shoot digital camera or a standard-definition pocket camcorder, speed class won't matter much. If you're shooting high-resolution RAW photos with a digital SLR, however, you need a quick card to take more than two or three shots at a time. SD cards are generally described by their Speed Class, ranging from Class 2 (slowest) to Class 10 (fastest). There's also a separate, even faster category called UHS Class 1 (for Ultra High Speed), but most current devices can't use them. While the SD Association (the group that defines SD card technology) doesn't release exact speed standards for card classes to non-members, it does offer loose guidelines for which classes are acceptable various uses. Class 2 is suitable for standard-definition video recording, while Class 4 and Class 6 can record high-definition video. Class 10 is the card for HD video and "HD still consecutive recording," which, like the classes' speeds, is ill-defined. The various card classes seem to have different speed ranges according to different memory manufacturers. According to Sandisk, for example, Class 4 cards offer read and write speeds of 15 megabytes per second (MBps), Class 6 cards can handle 20MBps, and Class 10 cards reach 30MBps. Kingston, on the other hand, describes its Class 4 cards as delivering a 4MBps data transfer rate, Class 6 as having 15MBps write speed, and Class 10 offering a 40MBps data transfer rate. According to Sandisk, UHS-1 SD cards can transfer up to 45MBps, and according to the SD Association, the maximum transfer speed based on the interface bus used is 310MBps (though this limit won't be reached by cards for a long time, likely after several faster UHS speed classes are defined). Generally, if you want to shoot HD video or if you plan on taking a lot of high-resolution photos in quick succession (or use a digital SLR's RAW image file format), buy a Class 10 card. If you're planning to just take snapshots or occasionally show videos, Class 4 or Class 6 will do. Since even smartphones can record HD video these days, Class 2 cards aren't the best choice. They're simply too slow to record HD video, so you're limiting your device's features. The price difference between Class 4, Class 6, and Class 10 cards can vary, but not vastly. At the time of this writing, on Newegg.com, 32GB SDHC cards made by Kingston Technology were available in Class 4 for $54, Class 6 for $66, and $73 for Class 10. UHS-1 cards are much, much more expensive than the other cards; Kingston was offering a 32 GB UHS-1 SD card for $293, and that was on sale. Unless you're a professional who needs absolute certainty in speed when dealing with very large images or high-bitrate video, you don't need UHS-1. In fact, unless you have professional or semi-professional equipment, you probably won't even be able to use these cards. Always check your device's documentation for support information before you commit to a memory card.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Fire 7" tablet supports up to 128GB microSD. Anything above 32GB is called SDXC (eXtended Capacity). Anything 4GB~32GB is SDHC (High Capacity).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Good question I recently purchased a couple myself. I recently learned the only difference means basically extra capacity in supposably I was told in the store that it would be a little faster but that's all it stands for the larger the SD card that would be an XS I learned from a representative that those basically are just higher capacity storage SD cards yes they will work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The micro sd's go by the speed (class 1, 4, 10, etc). after these speeds they have a faster transference ones. These are identified with a number (1, 3, etc). It usually includes the transfer rate speeds which are faster than regular ones. Any may work for your tablet. I recommend class 10 (of the regular ones with the 10 circled), or any above .
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There are multiple "Class" of media signified by SD, SDHC and SDXC. They are more a marketing term then technical. Most of the "old" SD cards are "class 4". This is the rate data is transferred to and from the card. Most SDHC are "Class 6". The SDXC are "Class10". The key is that the higher the class the faster the data transfer. The problem is that are other factors that affect your data transfer. The rule of thumb is that sdcards of almost all class are interchangeable. The more important consideration is the manufacturer. Not all SDCards of the same type and class are compatible with every device. Usually the manufacturer can tell you if they recommend a specific type or manufacturer. (/Note: The amount or size of your sdcard may exceed the capabilities of your device...i.e. you can't use a 32 gb in every device.)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, It is Class 10
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.All depends of your tablet, the difference between SDHC (High Capacity) and SDXC (Xtra Capacity) are the capacity not about the speed, some dispositive can't read SDHC only regular SD, you have to find it in the manual of your tablet, I hope my answer give some help.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I use this for a android phone with no problems and the tablets work the same. I work for a wireless carrier and we use the same ones for both.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it will most definitely will.
