Review on Transcend 16GB UHS-I U1 MicroSD Memory Card with Adapter (TS16GUSD300S-AE) by Bogdan Dimitrov ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A bad product, not worth the money.

The speed of these flash drives, which have a capacity of 32 and 64 GB, can be found on the manufacturer's website, where it is listed as 95/25 MB / s. I am not aware of any testing in which the manufacturer was able to achieve such speeds; yet, the speed cannot be increased any higher than 14.5 on any of the three computers I have access to, including the Mac.

Pros
  • A flash disk with a low price. We did not mislead anyone regarding the capability =)
Cons
  • The declared speed is the most critical factor to consider. Immediately after making the purchase, I tested the file system using FAT, NTFS, and exFAT; the cluster size varied as well. 14 megabytes per second is the maximum allowable write speed. The actual speed is 11–12 MB per second. Reading was supported by USB 2.0, although the smart device is far quicker than usual.
