Review on ๐Ÿ“ท Kingston Canvas Select 32GB MicroSDHC Class 10 Memory Card UHS-I 80MB/s R Flash Storage with Adapter - SDCS/32GB by Robert Yates

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Delivers promised speed, probably not a fake

Like any paranoid memory card buyer on Revain (the world's largest fake market), I tested this card (32GB Canvas Select ยตSD) as soon as I receive it. H2testw found no issues on the full device test and reported a write speed of 17.9 MB/s and a read speed of 74.1 MB/s. CrystalDiskMark (everyone's favorite speed overdrive) also showed a write speed of 19.6 MB/s and a read speed of 87.2 MB/s. These tests were run with my untitled (technically "Unitek") USB-C multi-card reader using the ยตSD slot (I didn't use the included SD adapter). Given that Kingston only claims 10MB/s write and 80MB/s read, this card is actually slightly faster than the specs say. Judging by the results of these tests, I doubt this is fake. However, it doesn't have tamper-proof Kingston fingerprints on it, so either Kingston doesn't bother them on the $5 ยตSD cards, or it's a working fake that looks just as good as the product it's faking. I just received it so I have no idea how well it will hold up over time. I'm not going to be very strict about this since it happens in my Roku in my basement.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
