Review: Samsung Essential MicroSDHC Class 6 (8GB) [2014 Edition]
After looking at the faster class 10 counterparts such as the Samsung Evo‘s, today we look at Samsung’s lowest end of microSD cards – the essential series. As promised, quite sometime back, today we shall take a look at this! At just SGD$4 per card (8GB), this is one cheap microSD card to get.
Conclusion:
Overall, as we can see, the speeds are very close to the rated speed by Samsung, however, in small short file bursts, it fails to meet the 6MB/s rating, though for most part of the tests, it did meet it. The read, had no problems exceeding that. The random 4K performance, however, are nothing out of the ordinary which means you won’t be expecting a high performance from this budget card. Overall, the speeds are:
READ – 22737 KBPS
WRITE – 6456KBPS
All in all, for this price, this performance seems to be pretty much slightly better than the class 4’s, though, if you can up the budget for a nifty class 10, you should really consider it.
