Review on 512GB High-Speed Micro SD Card - Class 10 πŸ’Ύ Memory Card for Digital Cameras, Phones, Tablets, GPS, PCs, Drones by Aaron Bannister

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Doesn't work in Raspberry PI

I bought this device hoping to use it in Raspberry PI 4 and I've tried everything. I've used noobs and tried the image installer and everything seems to work fine until it tries to boot into the OS. Then I just see some Linux crash warnings and it never boots. It looks like the SD card is working fine on my Windows computer. I don't seem to get any errors. However, it is much slower than other SD cards I have. (By "a lot" I mean up to a 33% slowdown - e.g. 6MB/s for this memory card compared to 8MB/s for others) For the price, I can definitely expect slower write speeds, although I I don't understand how there can be so many different speeds with the same rating. This means that I found the same ratings for 90MB/s to 170MB/s SD cards in MicroCenter. SUMMARY: Don't get this if you plan to use it in a Raspberry PI, but if you're looking for cheap, low-speed memory, this might be fine. A NOTICE. I've only had this SD card for about a week and haven't done much computer work with it. Now I need to remap it to see if it works well for purposes other than my Raspberry PI.

Pros
  • Security
Cons
  • Hard to tell
