In regards to long-term testing. I started testing some of the drives / cards, but would like your input on this issue. Check out this community post for more info: kzread.infoUgkx-QyWJm01kRqExuClV2dTtY_9YXvas27w

@dyXurChannel I know is fake is from China bought it on ebay but is there a solution

Im honestly surprised that they all have true capacities (besides the ones that are just plain broken).

Yeah me as well. But it also makes sense since most of those fake 2TB Micro SDs are often enough 32GB, so it probably wouldn't be cheaper to lie about a 32GB card.

Very helpful input, thank you. I'll definitely check out the long-term testing as well.

I think I mentioned it on another video (or community post), but the long term testing is currently on hold. The method, I used took way to long and was inconsistent.

Thanks for reviewing these!

ty so much for this comparison. this is a really useful resource for people looking for a deal on micro sd. ty, seriously.

I was surprised in general, that none of the working ones were much slower than the baseline. Hell, some like the Lexar were straight up more than double the speed.

Wow I've seen Lexar in alot of stuff like clone console from Aliexpress but did not know that it would be actually decently fast If I ever get a flash cart I'll think of getting lexar

Great video , very useful

I needed a new 64GB micro sd card and here in the Netherlands they are around € 10 - 15 a piece in the shop and I wondered if the AliExpress ones are any good. That's how I found this video. I used the same strategy as you: free shipping for at least 3 items, they were all € 2,53 each so I bought 4 ones of 64GB and different brands like the Lexar, Halloween and Christmas. It would be nice to get 4 for the price of one. Transfer speed is not that important to me but as long as they have the right capacity I am happy. But I will let you know the results when they arrive and I have the opportunity to test them. Great video, thanks. Liked and subscribed!

@@filippocara0510 For just storage they work great: 3 pieces of 64GB card including shipping for around € 5.50 (about US$6) but they come nowhere near the advertised read and write speed. Some perform slightly better than others, but for me they work great: I only need them for storage anyway. The same goes for USB drives, I bought several of them and the all have the right capacity but not the read-write speed. It seems the pictures are printed on later so the brands and images don't really indicated anything imo. P.S. Of course 2TB drives are not that cheap, if you buy SD cards or USB drives up to 128GB it's probably going to have the right capacity but read and write slower. GL!

Great content you should just do more testing. You should show us in the video what are the downsides and upsides of such a cheap device. That to the side you did a great job on shorts and on main chanell

@dyXurChannel

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the critic! This is indeed a valid point and I will try my best to incorporate this in the future. One of the downsides (which I forgot to mention) is the longevety of these SSDs, which could in the worst case take years to test, but I would've loved to include a failure rate or smth. That aside. I would love to hear if there is a specific aspect you would've wanted me to cover or go deeper into.

An awesome video, didn't know about f3. How did you test them, did you use probe? You have my subscription. 👍

I basically used f3 to test reads, writes and size and used badblocks to check their integrity. Cheap flash (and sd cards in general iirc) sadly don't implement SMART. Otherwise I would've used that as well. Also, thanks for the sub!

Every one I've ever purchased all different sizes and brands approx 10, not one worked without crashing and losing all data. DON'T BUY FROM ANY SELLER BOASTING CHEAP PRICES.

Green Football good for me that far, haloween is not that good slow loading on my 3ds ! Best ones i tried are the kodak sd card !

I thinking about getting Lexar 128gb for my rg35xx i hope I won't be disappointed

this was helpfull ❤❤

thank you so much

i rather buy a reputable sd card because i already had one unbranded sd card corrupt on me

@dyXurChannel

10 ай бұрын

Yeah thats the biggest danger. If you need the data on the SD card or have a certain amount of reliability theres no way around getting a good branded one. These cheap ones make more sense in cases where you kinda just need one for something quick and you want to have a bunch E.g. SBCs, for ROMs, etc.

most 32-64 are usually true capacity but above that like 128gb are risky and I highly doubt there is a 1tb one that is legit. I have a dragon 128gb Mico Sd for my switch and it does the job pretty well. You can't trust a review unless it's tested with H2testw or a similar program, the first Sd I bought was a 32 disguised as 128 :/

@dyXurChannel

8 ай бұрын

Yeah so far 32-64 GB have gave good results. But yeah, when you get into the 3-digits it is risky. There are 1TB ones, but not on AliExpress and they cost 100$ to 200$ and certainly not 2$ like some ads that are out there. F3 (which is used in the video) is like H2test, but for Linux, Mac & Win.

When you say the capacity is correct, you mean that you tried to actually put at least 25/30gb of data in them? Or did you just read the capacity by a software? Because they could have a fake firmware in them, declaring a bigger capacity.

@dyXurChannel

5 ай бұрын

I used a software that fills the SD card up with files and then checks if all of these files are still correct or not. It's called F3. Most people are more familiar with H2Test

I noticed microdata has 512gb card, do you think it has real capacity?

@dyXurChannel

9 ай бұрын

Well if the price is roughly 3 to 4 times of the 128 one I would say so. But as it has been mentioned by other commenters. There is a good chance that these are B-Ware. 512 might be too risky if you ask me.

They dont BS 32gb cards. You have to buy the ridiculous 2tb for $4 to find fake storage capacity

@dyXurChannel

5 ай бұрын

In that case it should be obvious though. But I still had to make sure (you never know if they didn't just print 32GB on a SDHC card which can be max 4GB), otherwise there would be no use in testing any further.

Lexar well know now.
