I see there are different 'classes' of SD card out there, am I right in thinking the higher the class number the faster the card?
It's one factor, however there are other factors IIRC, and in-theory the Pi won't drive class 10 cards due to them needed a 1.8V driver voltage. (It's negotiated after starting at 3.3v) I've learned too much about SD cards recently )-:
And there are issues with some SD cards - some simply won't work, some will give you filesystem corruption errors (I have one of those - a transcend class 6, but others using the same card have no issues at all!)
Best to stick to a bog-standard card and just put it up with the fact that it's somewhat sub-optimal and unlikely to change much...
