This 32 GB card costs about 990 rubles, which is one of the best indicators in our rating in terms of price and volume ratio against the background of high speed characteristics: 100 MB / s are declared both for reading and writing. Tests show an average of up to 88 Mb / s of writing and up to 95 Mb / s of reading, depending on the hardware configuration.

Colored in black as standard, buyers like it very much for its quick recognition on any device and stable operation during multiple rewriting cycles. Despite the very attractive price of the card, you should be very careful with it, as the memory card can easily fail due to its fragile design.

A reliable option from an American brand, and with a faster processing speed than most competitors in the segment. This card is capable of writing information at a speed of 30 Mb / s, and reading at 95 Mb / s.

Here is the best micro SD card for phones and DVRs. 16 GB of memory, although they are not something supernatural, nevertheless, such a volume had a positive effect on the price. Add to this the write and read speeds of 10 and 95 Mb / s, respectively, and we get the classic formula for success.

Today it is the undisputed leader in the market in terms of popularity among buyers.

The Taiwanese competitor of top brands attracts the buyer with the best ratio between the price and the volume of the memory card. In this case, a 256 GB modification will cost a little more than 2,100 rubles on average, while a micro SD card can write data at speeds up to 40 Mb / s, and read up to 80 Mb / s. At the same time, even the manufacturer notes that the model is not focused on intensive work in DVRs or cameras, but is only suitable for smartphones, tablets and other gadgets with a low frequency of information overwriting. In general, the card justifies its price, but is noticeably inferior to the products of leading companies in terms of durability and stability.

Kingston once again demonstrates that nothing is impossible. In his new SDCG3 card from the Canvas Go!

Samsung has quite a lot of experience in creating storage devices. Among the company's products there are both full-size hard drives and ultra-compact drives. It is to such devices that EVO Plus belongs. The bright, white-and-red card boasts a good capacity (in our case, 64 GB, but there are also larger options) and a high read / write speed, and a good “margin of safety”.

The features of the card included in our rating are in several aspects. Stylish design - against the background of gray and black cards, the bright red device from Samsung looks much more attractive. In addition, this card is hard to lose. It stands out among the things in your wallet/pocket/bag. Optimal data transfer rate - for today, reading / writing at 100/20 Mb / s is more than enough.We are pleased with the support of the UHS Class 1 standard and reliability.

One of the few optimized memory cards on the market today that do not experience serious problems with the operational part.Enlisting a lifetime warranty, it offers users a decent set of technical "chips" built on the ability to store large amounts of information (up to 128 gigabytes or more) and high speed access to them. Data is written to the micro-card at a speed of 90 Mb / s, and files are read from the media at 160 Mb / s (which, according to experienced consumers, is not the limit for it).

Yes, with such characteristics, it is not very advisable to install SanDisk Extreme microSDXC on smartphones and other "smart" gadgets. Its purchase will be fully justified only when you need to be constantly ready to process large amounts of information (working with photos and videos, cyclic recording of a DVR camera, drone, etc.). Against the background of such results, the issue of cost is rather secondary.

At first glance, the price of almost 4,000 rubles seems high, but for the Compact Flash memory card segment, this is quite a budget price tag even for 64 GB, which has long been considered insufficient for professional photo or video shooting, especially in 4K resolution. However, for amateurs this card can be a great solution, allowing you to save on buying accessories and get enough functionality, because the data exchange rate here can reach 600x, and this is enough even for RAW shooting. Customer reviews just emphasize the latter and there are laudatory odes to the high data transfer rate when dumping footage to a PC via a card reader.

Memory cards for modern photo / video equipment require a high speed of information exchange, and the SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash boasts a read speed of 160 Mb / s. At the same time, the recording speed is not significantly behind and is 150 MB / s.

There is support for the udma 7 interface to connect to a PC as a SATA disk. 30-year manufacturer's warranty (only for countries that support a lifetime warranty).

At one time, the volume of 32 GB made this MicroSD card the best companion for travelers, but today it is the most affordable option for the budget conscious. The read and write speed remains very decent to this day, although there are also "cooler" models from the same manufacturer. The available volume is enough for two-week trips to the mountains or nature reserves, but in a series of shooting it will give 4-6 frames less than the declared characteristics, so it is undesirable to use it for reportage shooting. Occasionally slows down when recording video in quality FullHD, so mostly recommended for amateur and semi-professional cameras.

A quality product that, together with 128 GB of memory, offers stable performance over a long period of use. Reading at a speed of about 120 Mb / s has a positive effect on the interaction with files, so the model fits perfectly into the needs of cameras and action cameras.

Occasionally, buyers note "floating" characteristics within the margin of error, as with many models.To distinguish its product from competitors, the manufacturer provided it with a golden sticker. At the same time, experts note that in general, this line of memory cards works more readily with older models of cameras than with the newest ones.

The main advantage of the model is the increased data exchange rate up to 800x. Along with this, buyers note a high level of reliability when working with large files and overall stability at high speeds.

As for the technical nuances, everything is in perfect order here. The manufacturer claims a read speed of up to 120 Mb / s, and recording is possible at 60 Mb / s. Modification with a capacity of 128 GB is considered the best choice for those who want to capture the brightest moments in their lives with a camera or who are actively traveling and need to constantly record materials on a DVR.

The best SD for those who care about the "set and forget" principle. With a warranty period of 36 months, it is able to last all 60. It is easily installed in DVRs, cameras and phones that have the appropriate slots. To simplify the organization of storing files and documents, the system is designed in the format FAT32, and its volume is 16 GB.

Content reading is declared by the manufacturer at a speed of 20 Mb / s. It is advisable to use it with a quality card reader that will not cut speed. When used with equipment of the lower price segment (for example, budget cameras Canon) may have reading problems as they simply cannot recognize the card. According to all the characteristics, the model is an analogue of the 6th class, only the speed of writing large data blocks is higher. Buyers note that SDHC10 is occasionally naughty with the connection interface, but otherwise there are no complaints.

Company SanDisk extremely creatively approached the PR of her flash drive, offering any buyer who registered this product on the official website, a 30-year warranty. Good recording speed and reliability make the card a powerful tool for storing files in older DVRs with a corresponding slot for a memory card.

If the data is damaged, there is a special software for their recovery. Buyers note a relatively fragile case, which is why the flash drive should be handled with extreme care. By channel USB 3.0 files are transferred very quickly and without freezes.

Another high-quality SD card from the Taiwanese company Transcend. It withstands formatting well and performs well even when working with Mac OS. In this case, you still have to download third-party software, since the internal settings of the operating system do not allow you to write files to the format NTFS. The amount of memory of the modification included in the rating is 256 GB, which is enough for basic everyday tasks, including professional photography.

The data writing speed reaches 40 Mb/s, and the read speed is 100 Mb/s. According to reviews, the card is fully consistent with the declared characteristics, rarely conflicts with equipment, if necessary, it will work with 4K, but in general it is noticeably inferior in speed to many competitors, and can also get stuck in slots due to a rough fit of the case.

One of the most affordable models in the SD segment. With its help, you can provide additional volume of the disk array to accommodate documentation, games, applications and various content that supports the standard SDHC or SDXC. The FAT32 system greatly simplifies the storage of files, it limits their size to 4 GB.

The product is also interesting from the point of view of the read and write speeds of 30 and 16 Mb/s declared by the manufacturer. In fact, it gives out 18-20 Mb / s when reading, which is noticeably lower than the factory specifications. The operating temperature range is standard: from -25 to 85 degrees Celsius. Periodic cleaning with a school gum from the oxide film is recommended.Also, many unscrupulous sellers put fakes on display. Distinguishing the original from the copy is easy - the write protection switch will be yellow, not gray. The serial number, consisting of a ten-digit number, also plays a role.

High speed, fast detection, reliability are the list of advantages of this SD cards can be listed for a long time. On paper, the speed is 260 Mb / s when writing and 300 when reading, although in reality it often gives out a little less. However, these indicators are enough to record 4K video without friezes at a comfortable frame rate. As a result, this modificationideal for camcorders, smartphones, 4K video recorders and other equipment that requires data transfer speed. But we note that experts evaluate the performance with DVRs as average. But complaints about the "dump" in the reviews or the occurrence of defective files when using the card are practically not noticed.
