I picked up a SanDisk Extreme microSDHC UHS-I card. The packaging claims transfer speeds of up to 95 MB/s.
I ran some speed tests on my
Apple iPhone 4S using PCMark and the results were:
read: 18.73 MB/s
write: 12.90 MB/s
Next, I tested the same Flash drive using PCMark on an
Apple iPhone 7 and got:
read: 33.11 MB/s
write: 22.34 MB/s
I also decided to run a different test—using an SD Card test app on the Apple iPhone 7—which yielded these speeds:
read: 37 MB/s
write: 21 MB/s
Moving to my PC, I used a USB 2.0 card reader plugged into a USB 2.0 port, getting:
read: 30 MB/s
write: 18 MB/s
The question is this:
Since I don't own a USB 3.0 card reader, I can't verify what the speeds would be on my computer under better conditions. If I were to use a USB 3.0 port along with a 3.0 reader, would the speed actually approach what is advertised on the box (95 MB/s)?
Or would the performance just remain stuck at the levels seen on a smartphone?
I did check the authenticity via Android System Info, which confirms the card is genuine.
If anyone has any insight...
Thanks in advance.
