With microSD memory cards, both read and write speeds are measured in MB/s, and the faster this rate, the quicker you can move files on and off the card.

Do you just need extra storage for a smartphone, or are you an avid photographer or music collector who needs more storage capacity for large files? Not surprisingly, the higher the storage capacity, the more you should expect to spend on a microSD memory card.

The amount of storage you need depends largely on how you plan to use your microSD memory card. Generally, storage options start at around 16GB and go up to 400GB or even 512GB, with the majority of cards selling in the 64GB to 128GB range. One of the primary considerations when choosing a microSD memory card is how much data it can store. Supporting a capacity of 32GB to 2TB, it has transfer rates of 50 MB/s to 312 MB/s and uses the exFAT file system. MicroSDXC: This card can only be used in microSDXC slots. File transfer rates are between 50 MB/s and 150 MB/s, and the card will typically use the FAT32 file system. MicroSDHC: With a capacity of between 2GB and 32GB, microSDHC memory cards can be used in microSDHC and microSDXC slots. It offers a transfer rate of 25 MB/s and uses either the FAT12, FAT16, or FAT16B file system. MicroSD: This format can be used in any microSD slot and has a capacity of up to 2GB. The format you need depends on the device you’re getting the card for. There are three distinct format types for microSD memory cards (and SD memory cards in general), and they are not backward compatible. The SD cards we tested ranged from V30 to V90.Regardless of their format, microSD memory cards are the smallest SD cards currently on the market. Most cards now have their Video Speed Class rating included on the label.

But you don’t get the full speed of UHS-II unless both camera and card support UHS-II, because it requires an additional row of physical pins to achieve its extra speed.

The standard is backward-compatible, meaning you can use a faster UHS-II card with a UHS-I camera, or a UHS-I card with a UHS-II camera. All the point-and-shoot cameras we recommend support at least UHS-I bus cards.

Unless your device shoots only 1080p video, it’s worth confirming that a card has a U3 rating, which gives you the option to shoot 4K. U3 is required for 4K video and designates a minimum write speed of 30 MB/s. U3 rating: Since most cards now have speeds faster than 10 MB/s, Ultra High Speed classes further differentiate their performance.(The other speed classes are 2, 4, and 6, which also denote the minimum write speed in megabytes per second.) Class 10 rating: This rating guarantees the card has a minimum sustained sequential write speed of least 10 MB/s-the bare minimum for shooting 1080p video.
