The Kingston 32Gb micro SD card was tested using H2testw v 1.4. Passed no errors. Writing speed 13.5Mbytes, Reading speed 39.9 Mbytes. Quite satisfied with results (middle of the road SD card) only time will tell if it stands up to constant use in Dashboard camera set on constant loop.UPDATE. 1/4/2019.I checked this card each month for two months and all was well, I formatted it each time I removed it from the camera. I then left it in the camera for six months taking it out on 1st April to check it, it was still recording OK. It's been formatted and returned to the camera. This is being used in a rear camera, in my front camera I'm taking no chances. I'm using an endurance 64Gb macro SD card made and recommended for dash-cams,

Purchased as additional storage for mobile phone. Inserted straight into phone without formatting and worked straight away. I generally only use SanDisk or Kingston and generally purchase from Amazon (not marketplace) to ensure I get a genuine card. This passes the test and should give reliable service. I've tried recording full HD video and the card handles it with no problems. Whilst transferring audio files to the SD card (including a few larger FLAC files) I had no issue with speed and was quite impressed with how quickly a few GB transferred across. I'm now seriously considering getting another for an MP3 player that I have so I can use FLAC files from my NAS rather than transcoding to MP3 to save space - it's not that I need the quality,

i wanted this camera for casual filming and travels after uni, i haven't owned a go pro before but couldn't fork out that much money for something i wont be using daily. I must of read a hundred reviews and comparisons for budget action cameras, I was looking to spend under £100, the spec of this camera rated highly and comes with loads of accessories which other cameras of similar price and quality do not (YI 4k cam). it all works great and for the money its amazing, the only draw back is that there is no app(that I can find) that will allow connection to your phone, the recommended app 'CamKing' doesn't work for me, however its so easy to connect to your pc/laptop this doesn't matter.

It wasn't so long ago that this item would have cost significantly more than just over £3.00 I paid for it on 26th April 2019.It is exactly what it is supposed to be and ideal for what I need in a trail camera; it would work in my Canon 550d too, but I prefer something a little faster for my Canon 80d, although it would do the job. Economy wrapped, I inserted the card into my drone, formatted it to ensure that it was ready to store any data and it worked straight off as expected. Transfers image and video easily, after insertion into the supplied adaptor, via the SD card slot on my iMac: so all in all very pleased.In summary, does exactly what it should do at an extremely competitive price.

This review is for the Kingston SDCS/64 GB MicroSD Canvas Select Class 10.Amazon sold this to me for £7 and the reason I bought it was not necessarily for the durability or secrity of a card for 'precious moments', or a company's entire bookkeeping accounts. I bought this simply to bung into my Samsung Galaxy Tab S. I can now fit my (from the computer) entire music collection onto the tablet, ready for travelling or sitting in the lounge. To be honest, I'm sure there's a 32Gb one lying around a drawer somewhere.Also, I'm told, it can hold 45,000 of my 12Mp camera photos. I can give 78 as a starter. All in all, pleased with this high capacity BASIC micro sd card.Do I really need this...

I bought this for my son after he got an Android tablet and wanted extra storage capacity.I went for Kingston as it is a brand I have used in the past and trust to be reliable and well made.I would like to see the option to order the memory card without the adapter though as I have many adapters that I have amassed in recent years when I have bought SD memory cards, seems daft to have so many, if a cheaper option could be offered where you can choose not to have the adapter that would be better in my opinion.Card works fins in the tablet, it recognised it straight away, formatted fine and has good read/write speeds,

Do not be fooled with all the advertising around Micro SD card speeds, 80MB p/s read speed is more than sufficient for the Nintendo Switch which is what I use this for. What companies do not advertise as boldly is write speeds which is usually significantly slower, i.e. 20MB to 25MB p/s across most top end cards targeting performance for technological devices. However, for most people, read speed is most important. Picked this up from Amazon and it arrived the same day. About 25% cheaper than direct alternatives such as Sandisk's A1 Micro SD card which advertises at 100MB p/s read speed, no real world noticeable difference for general usage and gaming on my Switch though

Bought these in the run up to Christmas partly as a cracker present, partly because I always need spare TF cards. With the included SD card adaptor these memory cards are perfect for use in older digital devices which use the larger format card, the advantage of a TF card in such applications is that it can be slotted straight into your tablet or phone to upload photos to online locations like facebook, google photos etc. Also when you retire your older device the card can be repurposed in your new camera or a phone.Of course we probably all end up with a lot of SD card adaptors that we never use if the TF card is bought for a device which accepts it directly.

This micro sd card was purchased to expand my phone storage. It represents good value for money as it was much cheaper than some cards with the same storage capacity. But is still made by a well known, established company with a good reputation.It arrived in what looks like official packaging and the actual card looks as advertised.It is working well in my phone and performing as it should so far.However, I have reduced my rating by one star because of a slower than advertised read and write speed. It took longer than I expected to transfer the data over from my old micro sd card. Probably because of the slower than advertised performance speed. speed.

Bought this to increase the space in an Android tablet, fits as expected, didn't even need formatting and worked immediately. This is one of many Kingston memory cards I have, never had any fail - even after some fairly serious abuse. I would suggest that the transfer speed isn't as great as some of the best out there but you are paying significantly less, so for general use they are brilliant. If you are looking for a full size SD card I would recommend buying a full size, rather than using this and the adaptor however as the card never feels very 'positive' when inserted into the adaptor, and you can get much better performance from a full size SD card.

I bought the SD card to expand the external memory of my Fire HD tablet, allowing me to carry my music and a film or two (or a TV boxset) with me - I've spent a fair bit of time in hospital over the last couple of years, usually in areas of pathetic Wi-Fi coverage so, decided to take some pre-loaded media with me from now on. The expansion card is excellent being fast, immediately recognised by the system and easily configured for the storage intent. For my purposes 128 Gb was more than enough storage space but, it's a doddle to move up to an 256 Gb card if necessary, in the meantime this SD card suits me perfectly including for price.

Pros- Easy enough to install, though harder if you have large hands/fingers.- Good amount of storage space- Good value for moneyCons- I would advise against installing apps on this card such as Youtube or others. Performance took a very considerable dip using these apps whilst they were stored on the card. I recommend this card is used for media storage (photos/videos/audio/docs).For the price I paid for this product it's very hard to complain, I have enough internal storage that I can install all the apps I use personally there so the read speed is not a problem for me. Recommended!

Got this after being scammed on ebay for a similarly priced sd card (32gb ended up being 500mb). Very impressed with it so far- it reaches advertised speeds and works well in my camera filming 1080p at 60fps.I have copied the H2testw score below (I only tested 9gb to see that it wasn't a card under 8gbs). Didn't have time to test full capacity.*Warning: Only 9000 of 29652 MByte tested.Test finished without errors.You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.Writing speed: 16.4 MByte/sReading speed: 79.1 MByte/sH2testw v1.4*

I needed a card for an HP Stream that only had 32Gb internally, the first one I bought was a cheap no-name one that I took a punt on, as soon as I ran a capacity check it was shown up as a 32Gb card, not 128Gb as sold so I had to have that refunded and settled on this one as it was a fair price for a Kingston. Obviously I can't say for certain it is a genuine Kingston product as I wouldn't know how to check that but it passed the capacity check as a full 128Gb card and works great so I have no reason to think otherwise. Worth £15 to me.
