Conclusion and Verdict
If you are going to be using the card for a Go Pro or something similar then as long as the card is capable of:
- Make sure your card displays a “UHS Speed Class of 3” (symbol of a 3 inside a U), meaning the card has both a minimum read and write speed of at least 30 MB/s.
- The SD card is formatted as FAT32 (32GB or less) or exFAT (larger than 32GB).
If the card meets both of these requirements then you should be good to go!
I used the fastest USB (USB 3.2) to test the drive. Keep in mind if you use USB 2.0 or a reader only capable of 2.0, you will be limited to transfer speeds those connections are capable of. I tested this exact card with a 2.0 reader and was consistently getting write speeds around 20MB/s. That just goes to show you the extreme bottle neck you can face with controllers. I used the port directly on the back of my motherboard so I could test with 3.2. All the tests showed very consistent results!
