Kingston 32 GB microSD Class 10 Card Review

Testing in Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate (Android Third Gen Hardware)

We used the same two apps that were used for testing in the Motorola Droid 1 on the previous page. These apps are freely available on the Android Market to test the speed of the microSD card. They are:

• SD Tools
• Jdisk Bench 3.0

Our suspicion that the older hardware is bottlenecking the cards is confirmed here. The results with the newer hardware are about 2 times faster than what the older hardware could manage. But we are still amazed because the class 10 card is either lagging behind the class 2 card or equal in performance.

Note: We did not report the read speeds for the tests with unit size of 1024KB because the app was giving us unlikely values varying wildly from 190 MB/s to 300 MB/s. This is probably a bug in the app when dealing with reading using a larger unit sized data, so we decided to ignore these results.
