Review on EASTBULL 16GB 10-Pack Micro SD Cards by Jason Dahlkemper

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Does what it's supposed to do ok transfer works fine

The first thing I do with any drive/micro SD card is to check its capacity with h2test. After completing the test, I will say that I tested this micro SD card and it has a capacity of 32GB. The next thing I will say about this is that the device does not work at maximum speed, but it works. Even during the test, this micro SD card did not get very hot, but it did get a little warm after the test finished. There was nothing to worry about the temperature, which was good. I had a non-original card that got very hot, but this is definitely not one of them. The 32GB capacity is correct and again the transfer speed is ok, but it all depends on the medium you use to transfer. I tried different media and the average transfer speed was around 30MB/s for writing and 50MB/s for reading. It's definitely not the fastest, but it's close to a high-end USB 2.0 flash drive. I used a 3.0 card reader to get these readings, as well as the laptop's built-in card reader. I managed to transfer everything (filling up the micro SD card) in about an hour. This card doesn't need to be formatted, which is great. The default format is fat32, so it works automatically on Mac without any problems. With gaming consoles like the Switch, you just have to use plug and play. It can hold a few games, but honestly not much considering it's only 32GB. Its red color is very easy to spot when you store it since most micro SD cards are usually black. It works with any SD card adapter, which is very handy if you want to use it for your camera or smartphone. It comes in a simple plastic zipper rather than a cardboard box. It works with any smartphone that can read maps. It can write fairly quickly so you don't have a huge lag between image or video. The problem is that when transferring (this is more of a problem with phones) the transfer can take quite a long time. I'm not sure why that is. There is an adapter but I used my own for testing and couldn't tell much of a difference between this and the other adapters I have. Overall I think this is a good micro SD card. This is a normal amount of storage and will work on almost any device that can use 32GB. It works great for security cameras where the mines have gone. It stores images and videos well. Transfer speed is pretty average but I would say it could be better. However, please note that the transmission speed varies depending on the medium.

Pros
  • Broad compatibility
Cons
  • Something different
