Top SBC Micro SD Card (Group Benchmark)

4 роки тому

Best micro SD card for a Raspberry Pi 4 or other SBC. This video benchmarks the 32GB SanDisk Ultra, SanDisk Extreme PRO, Samsung EVO Select, Delkin Advantage, Lexar High Performance, Samsung PRO Endurance, and SanDisk High Endurance. But which is the best micro SD card to use as the boot drive on a single board computer?

Great analysis of real world performance. What is surprising is the overall performance of each uSD was remarkably close and you could choose any of the cards tested and achieve very good results. Thanks Christopher for taking the time to do these test and provide the results in an easy to understand synopsis.

The tip about the new diagnostic software was a welcome bit of information. I found this review very timely due to the fact that I’m running a number of MotionEyesOS Pi’s and I was looking for the best SD card to use. Thanks Chris 🙏🏿 Stay safe and healthy my friend!

Amazing detailed tests...Saved for future reference and shopping carts!

@davocc2405 4 роки тому

Three certainties in life - death and taxes on one hand and on the other hand - superb videos from Christopher, just as he has delivered here once again. Faster cards are particularly useful in an SBC, I have a Pi 4b (4gig) and I swapped out a 32gig older card for a faster Lexar 32gig card - HUGE difference in all operational functions when you're using it as a desktop replacement. I also spec'd a card for a friend of mine in Australia and we achieved staggering write speeds on it - it was so fast writing Raspbian I thought it'd failed to write at all and did it 3 times over (I was doing this remotely through RDP over SSH). I think from memory it was a Lexar 128gig card, he was using a USB 3 micro card reader. It seemed to be writing at roughly hard drive speeds.

@Eyetrauma 4 роки тому

Great analysis, Chris. I do photography and use my GoPro *in addition to* using SBCs so microSD performance is something I'm always thinking about and my experiences are pretty in line with the outcomes of your benchmarking. One problem I've had with Samsung is that it seems to have a pretty substantial amount of variability: I've had Evo + and Pro Selects that have outstanding performance only to get another from that same line and have it be terrible. AFAIK they're all originals (proper serials, no sketchy packaging), so it really just seems to be kinda hit or miss. Usually I stay away from Lexar just because the price premium they typically have doesn't correspond with better performance/longevity but yours seems reasonably priced. I also hadn't even heard of those high endurance cards, I'll have to check them out. Great video as always!

@chuckevans2792 3 роки тому

@buhnux 4 роки тому

Great video! Some other things to consider when buying an SD card is, what environment will the SD card going to operate in? I have a pi in my attic, which reaches pretty high temps in the summer. For example, the Samsung pro and Sandisk extreme and high endurance (and probably others) have a higher max operating temperature than many other SD cards, so I chose one of these. Another example could be if you want an SD card in for you dash cam in your car.

Thanks for this comparison. My go-to card became the Sandisk Ultra after years of enduring the slow speeds of Kingston class 4, which were the cheapest ones on ebay. Slow cards compounded the sluggishness of earlier Pi models, and Kodi became unusable. Lesson learned. The right sdcard is transformative and i'm glad the word is being spread.
