Review on SP Silicon Power 64GB SDXC UHS-I Memory Card: Elite Series, High-performance Storage Solution by Daniel Evans

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Slow write speed, high read/download speed.

This is the cheapest 64GB SDXC card on Revain as I write. On the plus side it's cheap, reads fast, works in my camera, but it's the slowest writing card I have. If it was a more expensive card it would be three stars. I have a Nikon D5100 and the card works. The camera reads and writes to it with no problems, I recorded 1920x1080 1080p videos and the card worked. I have two card readers, a Transcend Super Speed Multifunction Card Reader (TS-RDF8K) and a USB 2.0 card reader that came with my Dell. XPS 8700. We'll use the term "test" loosely, the comparison is more like that. This card is fast when transferring files from it; USB 3.0 speeds were achieved. But writing it is a different story. This card writes 45% slower than the three cards I compared it to on a USB 2.0 reader and writes at 16MB/s regardless of file type or size. The "test" was to find out why my Transcend USB 3.0 reader wrote slower than my USB 2.0 reader. I compared 4 class 10 cards (SanDisk Extreme 32GB, SanDisk 16GB, Transcend 32GB 300x and this one). I have written jpeg, nefs and mov files. I tried using them mixed since they are in the camera folder and then I tried writing files by type. No matter what card reader I used, this card was the slowest. This card had the lowest write speed of the four, while the read speed was slightly faster. If you're looking for a card to use in a high-quality 4k camcorder, this might not be the card for you. If you're looking for a cheap card that loads your files quickly, then this is the card.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I'll write later
