I thought I'd upgrade from my class 4 16 GB Sandisk microSD card to a class 10 32 GB Adata card. I put the new card in the phone, booted it up, formatted the card, then copied all my data back over from my computer, but the phone took forever to read the card, wasn't loading music, pictures, etc. So I rebooted. After rebooting, the phone would freeze while loading the contents from the card. This happened twice. I finally gave up and put the old card back in the phone and now it's OK again.

Should I assume that my Droid 2 is simply too old to be able to run a high capacity, high speed card, or should I assume that the card was bad out of the box?

I think the DX/D2 has issues reading anything over a Class 4...

After two complete freeze-ups, I'm convinced of the same. Hopefully the Droid 4 is able to handle it.

It shouldn't have a problem. I believe the X2 and up can handle Class 10.

No problem... I've been biding my time for awhile. I just have to wait one more day ;)
