Review on πŸ’Ύ Enhanced Search-Optimized SanDisk 16 GB Class 4 microSDHC Flash Memory Card by Greg Mack

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for money

I use this with an Archos 70 internet tablet and it works very well for what I use it for (music, movies, books and app storage). Is this the fastest micro SDHC option available? No, but it works exactly like a Class 2 card should. I don't understand the lower ratings based on write speed as you shouldn't expect this class 2 card to perform at class 6 levels. If you need faster speeds, you may want to consider buying a higher-end card (which will cost significantly more). In terms of actual usage, I have no problem running apps, playing movies, or listening to music stored on the card - so read speeds are better than I expected. However, it takes about 10 minutes to transfer an 800MB video from my home server to the tablet over Wi-Fi, which is tedious when I'm in a hurry, but nothing I'd consider subpar for this class of card, neither Points deducted for this. All in all, I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a decent and budget-friendly storage solution for their mobile device or tablet, but if you need to write large amounts of data on a regular basis, you might want to consider a Class 6 or higher card instead.
