It is possible to use a SD/microSD card with a USB 3.1 adapter for storage, and their speeds will rival fast flash drives although they will not be able to approach overall external USB 3.1 SSD speeds. SD and microSD cards are ideally suited for use in cameras, smartphones, and as additional internal storage for devices like Shield TV. Let’s head to our conclusion. Conclusion CrystalDiskMark is a HDD benchmark drive utility that enables one to measure sequential and random read/write speeds. Here are some key features. Kingston’s Canvas Select Plus microSD is compatible with Android devices and designed with A1-rated performance. It offers improved speed and capacity for loading apps faster and capturing images and videos in multiple capacities up to 512 GB*. Powerful in performance, speed and durability, the Canvas Select Plus microSD is designed for reliability when shooting and developing high-resolution photos or filming and editing full HD videos. Kingston Canvas cards are tested to be durable in the harshest environments and conditions so you can take them anywhere with confidence that your photos, videos and files will be protected. Available with a lifetime warranty. Go Plus These SD and microSD cards are great for 4K and burst photography with speeds of 170MB/s Read and 90MB Write, and they support UHS-I speed class video 30. The microSD card supports A2 app performance. The Go Plus is the SD card that we mostly use in our Nikon B700, and it’s the microSD card that we installed in our SHIELD TV to expand its storage from 8GB to 128GB. Depending on what the device supports, you may be running into a incompatibility related issue. To confirm, you should refer to your device’s user manual for assistance. Please see below for more details.

Custom made and designed products such as flash memory products with custom logo’s on them. E,g USB flash drives and memory cards with your own logo Card Capacity - Along with card types, there is also card capacity. With card capacities ranging from less than 2GB up to 128TB and above, it is important to confirm which capacities are supported by the device in question.Next we are going to look at storage uses for SD and microSD cards, including using them as a flash drive, versus a SSD, and also as additional storage for Shield TV (2019). Shield TV (2019) Storage Expansion We run the AIDA64 Disk Benchmark and the four individual READ tests for each drive. These tests are very detailed, and there are a lot of customization options available so we run the default tests. We did not run the Read tests as they destroy all of the data on the disks being tested. We are going to repeat our synthetic benchmark charts from earlier with the addition of NVIDIA’s very fast limited edition of their 32GB GeForce USB 3.1 flash drive, a 64GB SanDisk Extreme Go USB 3.1 flash drive, and also compared with the performance of Team Group’s 256GB PD400 external USB 3.1 SSD. Estimated delivery times are provided to us by the respective delivery companies. We pass this information onto you, the customer. Our Nikon B700 is capable of capturing 4K/30 FPS Ultra HD (3440×2160) MP4 video, Full HD video at 1920×1080 at 60 FPS, or 120 FPS at 640P, and it can capture continuously capture up to 5 images at 5 FPS even at its top 5184×3888 resolution in the jpeg format (~10MB) or even RAW (NRW 32MB) images. However, we never gave much thought to using it other than as a point and shoot camera, and we never really considered which SD cards to use other than Class 10. The view from the patio window

Best of all, we have gained a new appreciation of taking pictures of the nature that surrounds us, and our previously short 20 minute walks now take up to an hour as we look for new flowers and watch for the animals that we were previously unaware of. Using the Canvas Go Plus SD card allows us to take an almost unlimited number of burst shots that we could only dream of before, and we can capture action sequence shots now. Now we are going to take a look at what proved to be total overkill for our needs and for our Nikon B700, the top of the line Canvas React Plus. Canvas React Plus The Linear Read test measure the sequential performance by reading or writing all sectors without skipping any. It’s a linear view of the drives overall performance from its beginning to end. Choosing From Kingston’s Canvas Select Plus, Go Plus & React Plus SD and MicroSD cards – including benchmarksKingston sent BTR six of their Canvas Plus cards to use and test a month ago, and this is the review. Since then, we have taken more pictures and shot more 4K video in the past 2 weeks than we have captured during the past two years. Besides comparing and benchmarking these cards, we explored additional uses for these Kingston SD cards including for storage; comparing their speeds against regular USB 3.1 flash drives and SSDs, and their storage uses in smartphones and in Shield TV (2019).

We tried both of these cards with our Nikon B700 but found them to be totally overkill, and we did not find any practical differences using the Canvas React Plus over the Canvas Go Plus. The advanced UHS-I interface makes the card ideal for cinema-quality full HD (1080p). Multiple capacities Until now, we never realized the importance of an SD card’s speed, and early Class 10 SD cards (~45MB/s) would cause our camera to slow to a painful crawl when shooting continuously in burst mode after the camera’s buffer filled completely after about 3 to 5 shots. When we upgraded to a Team Group SDcard (80MB/s), we noticed that burst mode became more efficient although we still would drop some frames when shooting 4K/30 FPS video. Rabbits are prey and they react instantly … … this is a sequence that happened 1 second after the first image illustrating the need for an extended burst mode

Faster speeds

We give Kingston’s entire Canvas Plus SD/microSD lineup BTR’s “Highly Recommended” Award for their excellent cards which are quite price competitive, and also in view of their lifetime warranty and superb support. I hope our readers enjoy the following images that we captured over the past two weeks in our local high desert area. Next up, Pixel Ripped 1995, an upcoming VR game that will be reviewed and posted on Wednesday. Select Plus These SD and microSD cards are excellent for 1080P and 4K photography with speeds up to 100MB/s Read speeds. We also tested them in our Nikon B700. Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston’s Flash Memory Guide at kingston.com/flashguide.
