Memory Card Zoo SD Test
Sep 14th
Adam Ulivi from Memory Card Zoo sent me a Samsung 8Gb micro SDHC class 4.
Seems like a regular SD card but they claim to be water proof, shock proof and magnet proof.
I ran a few tests using SD Tools for Android to compare it against the others cards I have around. The result:
The general raw output data collected from SD Tools:
| Write Speed (Mb/s) | Read speed (Mb/s) | |
| SanDisk Class 4, 8Gb | 4.1 | 11.7 |
| Samsung Class 4, 8Gb | 5.5 | 17.9 |
| Patriot Class 10, 16Gb | 8.1 | 20.1 |
I use the SanDisk in my Android and Patriot on my camera. It would be a good combo have a waterproof card on my waterproof camera but this sd card can not beat a class 10 card. I may change my cellphone’s memory card for this Samsung.
If you want to try to yourselft this or others models of Micro SD card visit their store. Thank you Adam!
