Class 10 SD Cards

Options
Quick question, do class 10 SD cards work in all HCSD card devices? Will it maybe not work at top speed if the device isn't capable of it but will still work at the highest speed the device can manage as opposed to not working at all?

We've got a new car and the stereo takes HCSD cards up to 32GB, want to buy this card for it if it will be suitable.

    It will work. All SDHC branded cards will work with SDHC compatible devices. It being 'too higher' class won't matter other than the card might not be utilised to its full extent.

    The only thing I will suggest you check just to make sure is the max. capacity supported. That's the only reason (other than the car being too slow, which in this case it won't be) I can think that the card might not be recognised, if the card is too large for the device to recognise.

    The manual for the cars media system does say it takes up to 32gb so it should fine with the size.

    Thanks for your reply, I thought that it would be fine like high speed recordable discs in lower sped drives etc but just wanted someone else to confirm it before I ordered it :) Much appreciated.
