Hey all. Was in Tesco looking for cheap microSD cards, and found these. They are marked up at £10, but scanning for £3.50. They were in the car section of Brislington Tesco in Bristol.

So before I go and I wild goose chase that make called good RAM is not appearing on the website so do you have any s ku code for the product so I can call and find out if this in stock locally?

Well about the only sense that Picard123 has spouted in this thread is that Speedout is crap.
Just tested with H2testw
Still a very impressive read speed of 38.2mb/s and at 7.77mb/s write speed still punches above its weight as a class 4 card, puts it closer to class 10 performance, in fact some class 10 cards benchmark around 8mb/s.
This card would function fine for general file storage, camera use and moderate video use, and an absolute bargain for £3.50

7.77MB/s writes is still dog slow. (I'm assuming you mean MB/s rather than mb/s because the latter would be slower than watching paint dry).
This doesn't even reach U1 speeds (10MB/s).
A U3 card would write at a minimum of 30MB/s.

You really are quite the persistent pedant aren't you? Once again, it performs anywhere near a class 6-8 card for a card that is advertised as class 4.
Regardless of what you think of it, once again it is relative to its respective use. Now jog on and find another thread to whinge in, perhaps try the Zanussi single oven thread, complain that it is useless compared to a double oven.

It's dog slow.
Just because you like wasting your life away waiting for files to copy across, doesn't mean everyone else does.

26 Sep 17#56
And you are the lord and master judge of what people should be using to transfer their data are you? If bandwidth of a device does not support faster transfer speeds then why pay more for a card that is faster, it makes little sense.
You are wasting your life away complaining in a thread on something you have no interest in, let others judge for themselves with the reported read/write times and their own respective uses.
Picard123 to cicobuff
26 Sep 17#57
Since when does the bandwidth of the device act as a bottleneck?
It's 2017 and not 1985.

Any slow memory controller, SD Cards were not invented in 1985. Next thing you will be telling me you are a camera expert and that anything above a Class 4 card is essential for a point and shoot compact.

Good luck with burst mode on your dog slow card.
cicobuff to Picard123
27 Sep 17#62
Considering that I use CF in my DSLR on the extremely rare occasion that I have used burst mode I won't have a problem. Considering I use a Lexar 64GB SDXC card in my tablet, I do not have a problem. Considering I use a Sandisk 64GB SDXC card in my phone, I do not have a problem. Considering I am using one of these GoodRam SDHC cards for my PS Vita, I do not have a problem. Considering I have the intention of using the other GoodRam SDHC card in a Raspberry Pi, I do not have a problem. Considering your problem, with all due respect I would seek professional help.

Put your dog slow Chuckie Egg Micro SD card in it and see how fast it goes.... :grin:
Like I said, just because you like wasting your life away waiting for files to copy doesn't mean that everyone else does.
cicobuff to Picard123
27 Sep 17#64
And like I said, you are wasting your time attempting to tell people what to do with their money for no reason. It makes no sense for me to spend an extra £12 on a card with a write speed of 80MBs. At £10 these were overpriced, for £3.50 a bargain for respective needs, you in particular are wasting your life away attempting to argue otherwise.
Just because you think write rates are governed by the card alone does not mean everyone else does. Just because you cannot grasp the concept of a certain tool for a certain job does not mean anyone else does.
In Picard123 next thread, why spending the extra £100 on a PS4 Pro makes perfect sense for those without HDR equipped 4K TVs or those that are not bothered with VR.
Picard123 to cicobuff

7MB/s is dog slow, no matter how you look at it.
Good for MP3s and your Chuckie Egg saved games :laughing:
cicobuff to Picard123
27 Sep 17#66
Correction, 7.7 MB/s is actually fast for a listed Class 4 card. You are spouting the same old crap now, and spamming this thread for no good reason. Welcome to the ignore list.
Class 4? Jeezus H Christ! I thought they stopped making those in the early 2000s.
Performance is likely to be hideously slow.
cicobuff to Picard123
24 Sep 17#9
Class 4 is absolutely fine depending on what you are utilising these cards for, to categorically state they will be 'hideously slow' is ridiculous.
Bought two this afternoon from a local Tesco for use in my PS Vita now it has customised with a SD2Vita adapter. Considering that the proprietary Vita memory card functions anywhere between equivalent of Class 2 - 6, Class 4 Micro SD will suffice for my needs.
Heat added, thanks for the heads up OP, 64GB worth of storage for my Vita for just £7. Emulation here I come.
Picard123 to cicobuff
24 Sep 17#12
Don't be daft.
I have a Class 4 no brand card that is absolutely hopeless for recording higher bit rate video.
Oneday77 to Picard123
24 Sep 17#14
Ehhh maybe because anyone who cares to check, knows Class 4 isn't for that type of application. Extra storage in a phone, dashcam, Raspberry Pi, etc. all fine.
Why is it when any electronic device is posted, some one always ahs to try and state it is rubbish?
If I put petrol in my diesel car it won't go as fast as if I fill it with diesel (not fully true the engine will fail spectacularly much faster). Does that mean as a fuel for the right car it's useless?
cicobuff to Oneday77
24 Sep 17#17
Had an argument a couple of years ago with someone on here after I had posted a deal on a Kingston 64GB Micro USB stick. They were complaining it was worthless as the write speed was slow.
They just did not seem to get that once again it was all dependent on its usage. In our car for Ford Sync it is absolutely fine, it may take slightly longer to write the MP3 files to the device, but in reading them it does the job just fine.
Just so happens this card actually also punches above its class 4 branding, unless anyone feels that speedout is not an accurate utility and that I should try something else, happy to experiment.
PillowDefender to Oneday77

I agree, bought 3 of those cheap dash cams from the post the other day, works fine. £6 for the cam, and £3.50 for the memory, I'm pretty happy.

Picard123 to Oneday77
26 Sep 17#51
That's the dumbest analogy ever.
Why don''t you try putting strawberry jam in your diesel car and use that as an example.
Dog slow card is a dog slow card no matter what dumb analogies you use.
cicobuff to Picard123
26 Sep 17#55
Performing perfectly fine in my PS Vita for what I am using it for, emulation.....now engage your brain and stop using useless comparisons, any class 4 card never claims to be suitable for writing large bitrate video files, can you not seem to understand that for £3.50 it is a bargain for anyone that has no need for such or are you just throwing your dummy in the dirt because either you are jealous you cannot get the deal yourself, or just plainly ignorant to reasoning.
Picard123 to cicobuff

Class 4 is absolutely fine depending on its usage, what a ridiculous thing to say, and besides this card performs well above its weight anyway.
Let's make it easy for you, perhaps you might learn something.......
If you were using a Class 4 card that actually has read/write speeds of a Class 4 card then you should already know that it is not suitable for recording large HD Video files.

If you are above 3.60 firmware currently there is no way, otherwise look up Henkaku enso for jailbreaking the Vita and enabling the gamecard slot to utilise microsd cards with an adapter.

Here are the results from Speedtest,
Given that gives UHS 3 performance of over 30MB/S write speed for a dubbed Class 4 UHS 1 class card, I think it is a veritable bargain.
Similar results from the second card I have.
Cards are branded Good RAM SDHC Class 4 UHS1
