Review on 🚀 High Speed Silicon Power 64GB 3D NAND MicroSD Card with Adapter - Boost Your Storage! by John Castle

I have just received this micro SD device with the SD adapter that came with it and I have to say that the data transfer speed on this card compared to the card I received in 2009 is is definitely noticeable. I can't state the durability of this card, but I can state the facts here. At less than $10 ($8.99 to be exact), this is by far the cheapest MicroSD card I've found around here. I opened it up and like I said it comes with an SD adapter (which I'll end up using because my devices only use microSD, but it's still good). I first connected it to my computer and formatted it in exfat format. I then connected it to my phone, which didn't recognize it at first. So I did a quick google search and if you want to use it on your phone you really need to format it on the phone you are going to use and not format it on a computer first. All I had to do was go to Settings >> Storage >> Format. This takes up 3 seconds of your day. Keep in mind that just because something gives you 64GB of storage doesn't mean you actually get 64GB. This is similar to any type of electronic storage device. Once formatted on my phone, it offers 58GB of storage, which I think is really good for something that costs $9. Now, upon further review, this card is rated XC1. There are currently 3 types. The XC2 I've read is the newest but isn't currently used in many things and then there's the XC3 which has a faster read/write compared to the XC1 which is this product. Now I really don't understand why high end products for ultra high definition cameras and such need such fast read/write times, other than obviously they have to process a lot more data than someone like me is just using as extra storage my phone. As mentioned I have had MicroSD memory cards but I'm not sure what rating they were but at the time we had 16GB and back in 2008/2009 that was quite a substantial amount of storage on one such a small card. The truth is that it seems to be almost twice as fast as my old ones and its technically poor performance compared to XC3 cards. If you're using this for extra storage on say a phone or netbook, like I did to gobble up movies downloaded from your phone to transfer to your netbook, this is perfect. If the company says you need a MicroSD XC3 card, this isn't for you. Check the manufacturer's information on which type of card to use. Finally, ask before mentioning it's hard to say how long it will last. According to Murphy's Law, if anything can happen, given enough time, it will. This applies to these cards even though they have no mechanical function. The card can only read/write or re-read/rewrite a limited number of times. This is due to the mining of metals to obtain the magnetic markers that these cards use. To be honest I feel safer using one of these than a USB powered external hard drive. I've had two of these in my life. The first lived 5 years, the last 7 years. In the near future I plan to buy an external SSD hard drive and back up files that I consider important to this microSD card. You can never have enough backups. I downloaded thousands of songs onto my first external hard drive which I spent thousands of hours downloading over a dial-up internet connection. Imagine losing everything! Then imagine losing everything twice! I might even back up my backups one day.
