In each case, these synthetic results generally match or exceed Kingston’s specifications. Next up is AIDA64. AIDA64 v6.0 We give Kingston’s entire Canvas Plus SD/microSD lineup BTR’s “Highly Recommended” Award for their excellent cards which are quite price competitive, and also in view of their lifetime warranty and superb support. Next, we are going to compare the performance of using Kingston’s microSD and SD Canvas Plus cards as USB 3.1 flash storage to traditional fast USB 3.1 flash drives and also versus Team Group’s 256GB external PD400 USB 3.1 SSD. Using Canvas Select Plus Cards as Flash Drive Storage Next we are going to look at storage uses for SD and microSD cards, including using them as a flash drive, versus a SSD, and also as additional storage for Shield TV (2019). Shield TV (2019) Storage Expansion Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston’s Flash Memory Guide at kingston.com/flashguide.

E,g USB flash drives and memory cards with your own logo AIDA64 is the successor to Everest and it is an important industry tool for benchmarkers. AIDA64’s benchmark code methods are written in Assembly language, and they are well-optimized. We use the Engineer’s version of AIDA64 courtesy of FinalWire. AIDA64 is free to try and use for 30 days. Until now, we never realized the importance of an SD card’s speed, and early Class 10 SD cards (~45MB/s) would cause our camera to slow to a painful crawl when shooting continuously in burst mode after the camera’s buffer filled completely after about 3 to 5 shots. When we upgraded to a Team Group SDcard (80MB/s), we noticed that burst mode became more efficient although we still would drop some frames when shooting 4K/30 FPS video.

Frequently Asked Questions

We run the AIDA64 Disk Benchmark and the four individual READ tests for each drive. These tests are very detailed, and there are a lot of customization options available so we run the default tests. We did not run the Read tests as they destroy all of the data on the disks being tested. Over the past weeks in isolation due to COVID-19, and especially since we received the Kingston Canvas Plus cards, we have been taking extended walks bringing our camera with us. We live in a very rural area of the Southern California high desert where all of our neighbors live on 3 or 5 acre plots, and social distancing is naturally built in. Nature surrounds us and we enjoy capturing and sharing our pictures. Crows come by regularly to rest in the Joshua tree in the front yard

Select Plus These SD and microSD cards are excellent for 1080P and 4K photography with speeds up to 100MB/s Read speeds. We also tested them in our Nikon B700. Kingston sent BTR six of their Canvas Plus cards to use and test a month ago, and this is the review. Since then, we have taken more pictures and shot more 4K video in the past 2 weeks than we have captured during the past two years. Besides comparing and benchmarking these cards, we explored additional uses for these Kingston SD cards including for storage; comparing their speeds against regular USB 3.1 flash drives and SSDs, and their storage uses in smartphones and in Shield TV (2019). Now we are going to take a look at what proved to be total overkill for our needs and for our Nikon B700, the top of the line Canvas React Plus. Canvas React Plus We are going to repeat our synthetic benchmark charts from earlier with the addition of NVIDIA’s very fast limited edition of their 32GB GeForce USB 3.1 flash drive, a 64GB SanDisk Extreme Go USB 3.1 flash drive, and also compared with the performance of Team Group’s 256GB PD400 external USB 3.1 SSD.Best of all, we have gained a new appreciation of taking pictures of the nature that surrounds us, and our previously short 20 minute walks now take up to an hour as we look for new flowers and watch for the animals that we were previously unaware of. Using the Canvas Go Plus SD card allows us to take an almost unlimited number of burst shots that we could only dream of before, and we can capture action sequence shots now.

I hope our readers enjoy the following images that we captured over the past two weeks in our local high desert area. Next up, Pixel Ripped 1995, an upcoming VR game that will be reviewed and posted on Wednesday. We tried both of these cards with our Nikon B700 but found them to be totally overkill, and we did not find any practical differences using the Canvas React Plus over the Canvas Go Plus. The 2019 basic version of Shield TV differs from earlier versions in that it comes with only 8GB of internal storage which is quite limited. However, it is very easy to add additional storage by using a microSD card with up to 512GB capacity. In our case, we use the Canvas Go Plus 128GB card.In this time of economic uncertainty, it’s very important to choose the right card for your needs. There is no need to always buy the fastest cards as they are usually significantly more expensive. Although there is no disadvantage to using a faster card than what your camera can take advantage of, there’s no need to spend more money on a 300MB/s Canvas React Plus SD card if you are just capturing 1080P video, for example.
