This Sandisk class-4 micro-SDHC card is faster than a PNY class-10 By NLee the Engineer I purchased a SanDisk 32 GB microSDHC Flash Memory Card SDSDQM-032G hotels in freeport bahamas nearly two months ago, for use in my VIZIO 8-Inch Tablet VTAB1008. At the same time, I also purchased a higher-priced PNY 32 GB microSDHC Card (P-SDU32G10-EFS2) which is supposed to be a class-10 . My benchmark results, however, show that the Sandisk class-4 card is actually faster most of the time.
I used two sets of benchmark programs. One is called Flash Memory Toolkit v2.0 , which measures the random read/write speed of files between 1MB and 15MB. The other one is called H2testw v1.4 , which measures the sequential hotels in freeport bahamas read/write speed using 1GB files. Here are my results: (see my uploaded charts in Images section for details)
What the above shows is that: When used in a typical digital camera (with file size 3-5MB), this Sandisk class-4 card is at least twice as fast as the PNY so-called class-10 card. But when used in a HD video camera (sequential writing of huge file), then the PNY card should perform better.
For a card to be marketed as a class-10 , it must maintain a MINIMUM write speed of 10MB/s. So by this definition, the PNY card does not qualify since it cannot even achieve a MAXIMUM write speed of 10MB/s. This Sandisk card, on the other hand, exceeds the requirement of class-4 by a huge margin.
Sandisk seems to be the only flash memeory manufacturer that still gives honest, conservative speed class ratings. Any other manufacturers would have labeled this card a class-6 or even higher. hotels in freeport bahamas As a matter of principle, I rather give my money to a company that promises less but delivers more, instead of to others that do the opposite. At the present cost of about 1 buck per GB, this is an unbeatable deal!
[Aside] hotels in freeport bahamas The capacity of this card, as reported by my computer, hotels in freeport bahamas is only 29.7GB. Note that this is actually normal, because compter people define one Giga as 2 to the power 30 , which is 7.4% greater than 1 billion. So 29.7GB comes to just about 32 billion bytes, which is 32GB according to marketing people.

I purchased mine from Amazon.com hotels in freeport bahamas via the vendor hotels in freeport bahamas MemoryMogul. hotels in freeport bahamas It arrived at my porch in a small envelope package and did not have any of the bulk packaging that one would find from a retail store. Inside this envelope was just a small plastic case holding the microSDHC card as well as a SanDisk microSD card adapter. This was surprising to me since it wasn t advertised that this microSD card would come with an adapter. I guess that s good in my case since I was going to purchase a separate adapter. The package did not come with an instruction manual, or any SanDisk packaging for that matter. [Please see the customer image I uploaded]
Apart from the unexpected package hotels in freeport bahamas and its contents, everything about the microSD hotels in freeport bahamas card works as advertised: hotels in freeport bahamas 1. My Macbook and Dell laptops both recognized that 31.90 GB of space are available to use in my card. Some people have reported that they received cards with less available space. 2. Also relating to people s complaints, some have said that they cannot hotels in freeport bahamas write more than 10 GB of data onto their cards. I am happy to report that I can in fact write more than 10 GB of data to my card (right now I have about 17 GB of music and JPEG files loaded onto my card). 3. Still relating to peoples reported issues, my card has a read/write hotels in freeport bahamas speed of 4.0 MB/s or higher, as it should since it s a class 4 microSD card. Some have reported that the read/write speed is less than that. To put it to the test, I did many benchmark tests and compared it to other SD cards I have. If you are interested, I included them at the bottom of this review.
All in all, I am satisfied with my purchase. For $28 USD, this 32 GB class 4 microSDHC card is worth every penny. I will be using this product with my SanDisk SDMX22-004G-A57P Sansa Clip Zip 4 GB, Purple portable media player as an expandable memory option. Everything about the microSDHC card itself works as advertised according to the benchmark tests as well as practical file transfers. The included microSD card adapter was also a nice surprise to me and I no longer need to purchase a separate adapter.
To be honest, I don t completely understand the results of the software hotels in freeport bahamas benchmark tests, so if you can interpret them, more power to you. Because of this, I decided to do a bunch of real-world file transfers (copying) to test the write speeds of the [micro]SD cards. I chose various batch sizes for my tests to see if the size affected the cards write speeds.
That being said, all tests were done using the same SD card reader, microSD card adapter, music files, source for files, and up-to-date software: Targus USB 2.0 SD card reader SanDisk MicroSD card adapter Macbook 5.1 running Mac OS X 10.6.8 (for file copy, AJA, and Xbench tests) Files were copied/transferred from an Other World Computing On-The-Go Pro portable external hard drive via USB 2.0 (500 GB Seagate 7200.4 RPM Momentus hard drive) Dell Vostro 1400 running Windows XP Home Edition hotels in freeport bahamas SP3 with the latest updates hotels in freeport bahamas installed (for ATTO, CrystalDiskMark, and Flash Memory Toolkit [free] tests)
