(SD) MicroSD benchmarks!

[xtramadness]

This review is way over due and the data was actually collected months back. However, I never got the time to actually post this up till now. Nonetheless, here’s the benchmark and review for the SanDisk Ultra 256GB MicroSD card, even as SanDisk is going to launch the 400GB microSD card.

In conclusion:

Overall, the speed of the SanDisk Ultra 256GB MicroSD is pretty close to its 200GB counterpart in some tests though write speed was slower for the rest. Nonetheless, the performance is still not bad, considering that for a high capacity card.

Nice review. It's a good card for anything short of 4K recording.

Your conclusion needs to be updated . Samsung has not only caught up but surpassed Sandisk. My Samsung 256GB evo averages 87 MB/s write speed.

SanDisk, Lexar, Samsung all are pretty good...

Though the SanDisk Ultra (A1 model, I have not benchmarked here as I didnt buy one) or the older (white colour one) should do just fine and SanDisk are marketing them as for such purpose.

Lexar is a solid one can be considered, I like it personally.

Samsung Evo should work as a budget option, however. Just personally had a bad instance with them and their warranty is one of the tougher ones (really need the receipt one)

Review: Samsung EVO Plus EVO+ 256GB MicroSD

SanDisk maybe the first in the market with the 200GB variant, but Samsung has caught up with them being the first to out the 256GB variant. Despite that, it took us quite awhile to get our hands on a set, which we finally do now, for review!

Overall, the speed of the Samsung EVO+ pretty much blows away its competitor: SanDisk Ultra 256GB MicroSD. With a consistently available lower price (online) than SanDisk, the Samsung EVO+ is very good consideration for value, speed and capacity. Nonetheless, here are the speeds:

READ – 91481 KB/s
WRITE – 85087 KB/s

All in all, I can really recommend the Samsung EVO+ 256GB card to those whom are looking to upsize your portable media’s storage capacity. Samsung, is reportedly using their latest 48-layer 3D TLC V-NAND for this memory card, much like what they are doing for their SSD. So, just how much can you store on this 256GB card? Well, you can store up to 12 hours of 4K video or 33 hours of full HD video or perhaps, hold up to 55,200 photos with a resolution of 4,032 x 3,024 pixels (based on average lab sizes).
