I'm using a 16GB Sandisk class 4 card in my Glo. I went with Sandisk for the Touch when the original no name card I picked up caused issues. Sandisk seems to have the best read/write speed for small (4Kbytes) blocks which made a noticeable difference loading the covers after going to the home screen. I tried a Patriot 8 GB class 10 card but while faster on large blocks, it's speed was pathetic on small blocks and especially small block writes. Sandisk 16GB class 4, 4K write, 1.93MB/sec, Patriot 8GB class 10, 4K write, 0.13MB/sec.

Regards,
David
