First of all I would recommend class 10 card only if you also plan to store heavy games on it, for better performance of games. Secondly if it gives you that error clear the SD-card, So copy all the files to your pc for example of another storage device. And then format the card in your Lumia 830. After that you can put your files back on it. It should then work. And also is that game data and maps from your previous phone? If it's from a windows phone I would advice to first make a backup of your previous device. Most data will be saved then. And on installing /starting up your 830 from factory. you can then transfer your backup on it. And will put back most of your data. I know new games support this but from the older games you will most likely lose save data. So your maps will be restored, but games really depends, games themselves will be restored but if their data also gets transferred really depends on the game. Hope this helps!

Using class 10 and I get the error almost, daily, I just ignore it now

(Unrepairable) errors on SD cards are not class 4 only they can happen on all SD cards

I would advice you to do the scan in your phone. If the phone can not fix it place the card in the card reader from your computer and scan it.
If you still get a "non reparable" error check if you still have the receipt of the SD card because some brands give 10 years warranty.
If you decide to use the card anyhow than back-up the card regular.

Just eject it and push it back in and restart the phone a couple of times. At least that worked for me.
