ok for 6.99!
Decent card for the price at the time it was received (6.99), seems to have increased now.
Can be used for anything that requires a microSD not just a spy camera, storage size seems to be right.
I’ve used it as onboard storage for an outdoor camera.
Good value card
Ignore all the “spy camera” sales pitch gubbins, this is a standard 64GB storage card which can be formatted for any purpose. No harm in all the gubbins at this price, mind.
I’ve got it installed in a CCTV camera to record all the times my wife raids the chocolate tin; it works fine.
Happy.
Fab budget option with decent speeds and reliability, ideal for casual use
For the price of 6.99, this 64GB micro SD card is an excellent budget option for various uses. I’ve tested it in my Raspberry Pi, tablet, and even a set of Bluetooth headphones, and it performed reliably without any hiccups. The read and write speeds are acceptable for general use—though, at times, it can be a bit slower compared to more expensive cards. I managed to get around 80MB/s read and 20MB/s write speeds on my PC, which is quite decent.
However, it did have a moment where it disconnected, necessitating a quick unplug and plug-in again. While I’m not entirely sure if this was due to the card or my PC, it’s worth noting just the same. Additionally, when it came to more data-intensive tasks, like using it in a DSLR or high-quality monitoring camera, I found it more suitable for non-critical storage.
That said, it works splendidly for tasks such as storing music, photos, and videos in resolutions up to 1080p, and possibly even 4K at lower frame rates. The lack of an adapter and storage case could make it prone to getting lost, but the reusable packaging helps mitigate that somewhat. Overall, it’s a commendable choice for casual, everyday usage.
Impressive Performance for a Bargain Price
I recently purchased this 64GB Micro SD card and have been quite impressed with its performance and versatility. I initially bought it for my hidden spy camera, and it has handled 1080p recordings splendidly, ensuring smooth and clear footage. I also tested it for high-quality stills on a different device, and it managed 16MP images without any lag.
One thing to note is that it doesn’t come with an adapter or a storage case, which makes it a bit easy to lose if one isn’t careful. Despite this, the card formatted easily on my laptop, and transferring files was a breeze. It fits snugly in my security camera and has been reliable for weeks now, showing no signs of slowing down.
At 6.99, it’s an excellent budget option for anyone needing extra storage for various devices, from home security cameras to car sat navs. A minor hiccup during initial setup with formatting was quickly resolved, and overall, it’s performing admirably for my needs.
Seems to do the job.
This is a generic 64gb micro-sd card. It seems to be fast enough to use for most devices that I’ve tried it in, any recordings have saved so far and I’ve had no issues to speak of. 64gb is a ‘ok’ amount of storage for most things that are HD in resolution – if you’re looking to save 4k then you might be advised to got for larger, faster cards than these.
Budget-friendly microSD card - practical
I recently purchased this 64GB microSD card, and for the most part, it’s proven to be a practical and budget-friendly solution. For the price of 6.99, it offers good value, especially if you’re looking for a card to use in non-critical devices like a monitoring camera or a tablet. I’ve tested it in my Raspberry Pi and it worked quite smoothly, though it does tend to be a bit slow for some more intensive tasks like DSLR shooting.
The read and write speeds were fairly adequate; in my experience, I got around 80MB/s for reading and 20MB/s for writing, which is good enough for regular video recordings and music playback. It did disconnect once on my PC, but after re-plugging, it worked fine again—possibly a fluke with the connection.
It’s a basic card that doesn’t come with an adapter or storage case, so be careful not to misplace it. The packaging is reusable which is a thoughtful touch. It’s not top-tier, but it does its job for light-use applications. If you’re looking for a quick, cheap solution, this card should suit your needs well enough. Very handy for car sat nav updates too, without any hitches so far.
This is a standard memory card
I’m not sure why this is advertised as being for a spy camera as it is just a standard memory card.
In use it has worked well both as a micro-SD card and also when fitted inside an SD adaptor. read and write speeds seem to be good though I haven’t carried out detailed testing. It has copped with reading and writing data without any errors so far.
The price is probably at the top of what I would expect to pay for an unbranded memory card. It has worked well so far but I would be wary of using it to store important information for long periods. However for non-critical uses such as a drone camera where information is stored and transferred relatively quickly it is perfectly adequate. I haven’t found any faults while using it so I have given it five stars.
64Mb of very capable Micro SD card for video at 4k25p and for 16MP stills.
This HGYGHO 64GB micro SD (TF) card for hidden cameras has the following ratings: ‘U3’ (for Ultra High Speed class 3 – minimum write speed 30MB/s), ‘Class 10’ (> 10MB/s); I (UHS-I card – single row of contacts); 64MB; and, weighs in at just 255mg.
This was put in a high quality camera taking 16Mp ‘fine’ quality jpegs in addition to RAW files of those images at eleven shots per second and it took the same amount of time to fill the buffer as other SD cards. Further, saving just the ‘fine’ quality 16Mp jpeg files at the same eleven frames per second, it took 29 seconds for the available buffer to be used up.
The description for this card says that it is for a 1080p Mini Spy Camera – a role that it will easily cope with because it is capable of handling 4K video at 25 frames per second saved as MP4 without any problems.
Bargi
64GB micro sd memory card for about 6, bargin, this one is being sold along side a mini spy can, but I will just buy more because they are cheap.
It has reasonable transfer speed, more than adequate for what I’m using it for.
A budget memory card for non-critical use
This is a decent, budget 64Gb memory card for multiple devices and works well under stated conditions. As with anything that sells so cheaply, I would advise caution as to what use you put it to. I am happy to have this card working in a monitoring camera to capture non-critical video but I am unlikely to use it in an DSLR camera just yet. At 6.99 it is very competitive!
An Inexpensive Card for this Hidden Spy Camera’s Recordings - First Impressions are Good
This Spy Camera has a card that is particularly recommended for it and this review focusses on that card, not the camera.
This 64GB Micro SD-Card is specially marketed for use with this hidden spy camera and when delivered it contains a folder labelled “VIDEO” and a text file called “time” – the file system is MS-DOS (FAT). Other than that is appears to be a standard Micro SD-Card labelled with the symbols:
“U3” – ultra high speed class 30MB/s sequential write speed for video recording N.B. The illustration in the listing shows a U1 card but the one I am reviewing shows the better U3 classification.
“C10” – minimum write speed 10MB/s
“I” – not sure what this means when it is printed on its own?
I ran a CrystalDisKMark test on the card and the results are shown in the attached pictures. I ran the same test immediately afterwards on the same PC with a Sandisk “Extreme Pro” Micro SD-Card with the following symbols; “64GB”, “U3”, “A2”, “V30”, “XC I”
Comparing the results there seems to be close correlation between them (all MB/s) – review card quoted first in each pair:
SEQ1M Q8T1, Read: 36.91 36.07, Write 23.28 34.39
SEQ1M Q1T1, Read: 36.91 36.08, Write 22.64 33.35
RND4K Q32T16, Read: 5.62 5.98, Write 1.33 2.28
RND4K Q1T1, Read: 5.07 5.78, Write 1.08 2.02
The Sandisk cards is supposed to be one of their best, so this is a harsh comparison!
The numbers printed in faint text on the back of the card did not flag up any further information when I searched for them on the Internet.
The card does not come in a storage case, nor is it supplied with an adapter to turn it into a full size SD-Card. This makes it vulnerable to getting lost. This can be mitigated to some extent as the packaging can be reused if you open it carefully.
Reasonable SD micro SD card
7 or just under for 64GB of data is not an awful lot of money and so offers good value for money.
The card works and is readily recognised in my tablets and Raspberry Pi. It is a little slower and can’t be used for internal storage like some of my more expensive cards but for storage it’s perfectly fine.
Works okay it seems
Priced at: 6.99
I tested this with a disk testing utility, I got 80MB/s read and 20MB/s write. I wrote some gigabytes of data and it all read back reliably. At one point it disconnected and I had to unplug and plug in again. I’m not sure if that was the card or my PC. I see another reviewer saying they lost data in their camera so that is worrying but I didn’t see an issue like that on my PC.
Decent capacity for the price.
Having recently got a streaming camera with recording capability to a micro SD card all I was short of was the card. This listing gave me the chance to get a card with resonable storage capability of 64Gb. The card was said to be for a 1080p Mini spy camers but a memory card is a memory card, isn’t it? I figured that, as long as it didn’t have a dedicated fitting, and that was very unlikely, it would work with a second camera even given that my camera is 2K. I ordered and crossed my fingers.
When the card arrived I slotted it into the new reader that I had ordered to go with it and it was instantly recognised by my PC. that was a good sign and it was shown as being the stated capacity, allowing for the decrease the user always experiences with any memory device.
I did have trouble getting my camera to format the card but eventually did and I was able to make a recording so all seemed well. However although my camera was set to record in H265 none of my apps would recognise it to play it. I am putting that down more to be an issue with the camera or possibly user error rather than any fault of the card. I need to do some more work on this.
Fast UHS-3 Class micro-SD Card
This 64Gb micro-SD card is actually UHS-3 Class (see photo) which performs much better than UHS-1 (“Ultra High Speed” Class 1 means minimum sequential data write speeds are 10MB/s whereas Class 3 is 30MB/s). In testing I got around 38MB/s but that will depend on the type of SD Card writer you use, many older ones are USB2.0 and speeds are reduced compared to USB3.0 devices. A nice feature of this product is that the packaging is reusable since you can remove the card just by lifting the plastic tab, and then put it back after testing so that the micro-SD card is less likely to get lost (being so small these micro-SD cards can be hard to find)
Basic memory card
This micro SD card comes simply packaged, I was pleased that no SD adapter was included because I have enough of those already. The card is plain apart from the specs listed on the front – 64GB U3 Class 10. In reality the capacity is just over 58.2GB. I plugged the card into my laptop and filled it up with no issues. Read and write speeds are as expected so overall performance is good enough for me. There are higher-rated cards out there but for my purposes this one is fine – I am using it in a set of Bluetooth headphones and it is working fine, I can play back music with no issues. I’m very happy with this memory card.
Performs well
This is a quick review of the 64gb HGYGHO MicroSD card.
Card Markings:
Class: 10
UHS Bus Type: I (That’s roman numeral I)
Testing
———
For this task I decided to run a utility called “h2testw.exe.” It’s a free tool used for checking the integrity and performance of removable storage devices. Below is the spec of the PC and hardware used for testing.
* i7-8700k Intel CPU
* 32gb Memory
* Windows 11 Pro
* Kingston USB 3 Media Reader
The results after testing the card are shown below:
Test finished without errors.
You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.
Writing speed: 31.6 MByte/s
Reading speed: 82.6 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4
Summary
————
The achieved write speed seems to exceed its claims. I have tried this card in various devices that I have that accept MicroSD and they all appear to work without any issues. Based on these tests alone, I would recommend this card. However, only time will tell with regards its continued reliability.
