32GB Integral microSDHC CL4 memory card with SD adapter by Integral

Great card, great price. Thanks again MemoryC!

I was looking for a 32GB SDHC card for my android tablet, Saw the price on this card, didn't think twice.

I was sceptical about the performance due to a review left on the product previously. I benchmarked the card myself, topped at 17Mb/s and lows of 13Mb/s transfer speeds.

More than happy with that. Better than most CL4 cards I have.

Definite must buy for cheap but large storage space.

The product shines in price comparisons, since the market segment is so small - 32 GB at CL4 to this awesome price ? Too good to be true ?

There are not many fast micro-SDHC cards at the maximum storage capacity (for the SDHC specification ) available to the public, so here you are promised data transfer speeds way above the competition to a seriously low price.

This is of course too good to be true - while the card allows storage to the advertised capacity, it does so with a far worse performance than expected.

Neither random data access, nor streaming comes anywhere near CL2 transfer speeds, let alone the promised CL4. Standard issue CL2 units are noticeably faster than this card.

So if you want high speed and good storage capacity to a low price - don't buy it.
If you want good storage capacity to a competitive price, then go ahead.

As disappointing as it was to me, the card ended up in the SDHC slot of my WII, where 32 GB allows over 180k storage blocks :D
