[tomstar]

Hi. I have a new HP Stream 11 with the 1.6 processor and 4 gb of ram. It takes a microsd card.

I was going to order a 32gb one. What type should i get.. i see there are different ones.

Is SDHC okay?

Note: Samsung is a good example.

The reason I'm asking is because I read somewhere that the HP stream will only work with a few types of micro sd  cards. I think someone stated somewhere that one of the major types will not work. Maybe the info was wrong or i misundersood.

In any case, an SDHC micro sd card should be okay right?

Hi,

Yes, Samsung or Sandisk. I have not tried other brands.

Sandisk and Samsung always seem to have good reviews.  If you want a specific model recommendation, after doing some research I settled and have been using the following card in my HP Stream 11laptop (33 programs installed and half the space used) and Moto G 3rd gen smartphone, both for 18 months without a single issue.  It was a good speed to price ratio in my opinion, at the time at least.  I also have 4 Sandisk USB flash drives which are used heavily running Linux without any issues.

Purchased on Amazon:

 SanDisk Extreme 32GB MicroSDHC UHS-I Card with Adapter (SDSQXNE-032G-GN6MA)

According to Amazon it has been replaced by a newer model:

 SanDisk Extreme 32GB microSDHC UHS-I Card with Adapter (SDSQXVF-032G-GN6MA) [Newest Version]
