I was able to insert this micro SD card into my desktop using the adapter that comes with it and copy all my media/photo files over after backing them up from my old 16GB sd card, then insert it into my Android tablet. No issues.
So my initial card corrupted and refused to work after the first month. I contacted customer services and they were very quick with a response. They replaced my card very promptly. Second card seems fine. Would buy again from them.
The Kingston SD card is a reliable and affordable storage solution. With a decent 32 GB of storage capacity, it’s versatile and ideal for various devices. It provides seamless data transfer, durability, and broad compatibility. Used this for my phone for a while, and it was very smooth. Although a higher storage option would be appreciated for larger needs, this microSD card is a trustworthy and budget-friendly choice suitable for everyday use.
Mine worked really well for the first 12 months, then failed. Luckily I had backups of the files.
Kingston were really good and replaced it within a week.
Just remember to keep back ups, you never know when you will need it.
Bought this to run in a Pi Zero W as had run out of memory cards and this would be with me the next day.
Tested its read/write integrity and passed with no problems. So far it is is doing its job running some pi signage.
Recommended.
SD CARDS such as these are useful for certain Internet set-top boxes with the SD CARD slot to insert these into. Once recognised by the Internet set-top box there will be a File Explorer or File Manager as well as other USB drive apps to test as well. I learned that some apps will create a database for images and contain these as hidden files and that also applies to apps on the set-top boxes and whatever USB drives get connected. So I installed Unseen Gallery and Hidden Files apps and discovered THOUSANDS of images as thumbnail versions of the original images accessed by various apps. We can save these and check duplicates as well as transfer these from set-top boxes to SD CARDS or USB flash drives such as the Sandisk Triple Packs of 32GB sized storage. Sorting out files could be easier if viewed on a PC instead.
Some great things can happen with files, images and videos we can copy or download. We can sometimes direct downloads to SD CARD 1 or sda alternatives. We can keep more storage file space on the main set-top box but over time we need to get files moved to external storage sometimes using the path route as storage/external_storage/ then sdcard1 or sda and so on. We could use a basic SD CARD ADAPTER to insert the card into then connect that adapter to some USB port or USB hub. Sometimes OK, and sometimes not as user-friendly after all. The regular backups take time but are faster if using a computer or its external drive to transfer or copy files to. It’s recommended that we COPY rather to MOVE as some MOVE actions don’t work. We could lose files forever that way even if using File Managers or File Explorers or various image editing apps.
So keep thinking about backing up and copy and keeping fewer files on the SD CARD itself and from then on it’s a matter of GOOD LUCK WITH THAT because MURPHY’S LAW is still alive and kicking and every time we switch off a set-top box it’s anyone’s guess if the SD CARD works from then on or we see folders and files corrupted, destroyed or missing. So who knows how the hidden files have survived? Perhaps these are the extra way to salvage thumbnail versions of the lost original images?
Who knows if a computer can access the SD CARD or needs a completely new installation file for that matter? To format or not to format may not be the right answer either way… Salvage what you can on the set-top boxes you’ve already got and maybe check Google for saving SD CARD files or USB drive files and any freebie that could help restore what you can see or not see…
Purchased this because my phone was running out of room. So wanted to put my music and photos into an SD card. Really easy to use. Small chip goes into phone. You keep the bigger card holder safe which inserts into your laptop.
Have now bought 2 of these as they’re such good value, used in both my children’s nintendo switch as there was no space for any games without. One switch now has about 6 games installed with plenty of space for more with this 128gb memory card!
I was upgrading to a High Capacity (Class-10) micro sd card for (dual dashcam). This Kingston (256 GB) is at a good price on Amazon.
I already had used a smaller size Kingston card for my previous dashcam and that still works well. This is why I bought the same brand memory card again.
It is worth remembering that High Performance Class-10 is a must for continuous recording devices. These memory cards are expensive than others. But it is best not to compromise on quality, so that data is safe.
I bought it for my Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro. A couple of things what I would like to highlight:
It is very fast card. I get a very good speeds: almost 90MB/s reading and 75MB/s writing;
It works stable. I haven’t got any compatibility issue with my phone or with card reader.
I bought 256GB card. There is 232GB of free space.
In overall, I haven’t expected in this price range to get a quite high specification of mirco sd. Decent purchase.
