| post | MicroSD sloppy review | 1382415956 | [review] |
I don't know if I could call this a review, but I would like to show how they performed.
I bought these two at Kingston costs 700THB (~22.5USD) SanDisk costs 490THB (~15.75USD) considering Kingston was twice the size, I didn't expect much from it. However, my jaw was dropping and conducting test again and again to see if I was wrong.
I know this is just a sloppy test of how it performed:-
For Kingston one.

SanDisk one.

It didn't matter how large file was, Kingston was definitely better. I had tried many times with wide ranges of files including /dev/zero, results were just the same. I have used the same card reader, Lexar USB3 one, same adapter. Maybe I was wrong. I thought SanDisk was always superior to Kingston, esp. at the same class and pricier.
I hope this help change someone's mind out there thinking like I did.
