SD CARD

Everything you want to know

SD cards are really important for some of our devices. But in terms of buying every one of us is really confused which one should we buy and which one we should not because for same capacity of storage there is different in price.

So friends today we are going to know everything about the SD cards and also tell you that which card is best for you.

If we notice than we will find that SD cards are available in three different sizes. One is full size big Sd card, 2^nd one is microSD card and 3^rd mini SDcard where the Mini SD card are not available in the market now but they are also a type of the SD card family.

And friends there is also three category in these cards- SD, SDHC and SDXC. The SD card are only capable be made upto 4GB, so there is a new technology Named SDHC come which means SD high capacity which is only capable to be make up to 32GB only. As now we need more storage capacity a new technology introduce itself named as SDXC which means extanded capacity. By the technology of SDXC we can now make our SD card to a capacity from 32GB to 2TB.

In terms of size and capacity we got three different categories but in terms of reading and writing speed there are some categories.

The categories are Class 2, Class 4, Class 6 , class 10, USH 1 and USH 3.

These numbers actually indicate the reading and writing capacity of the cards. Class 6 means that it can read and write data at a speed of 6Mbps o class 10 can do it at a speed of 10mbps. Where the USH means ultra high speed deliver a larger speed for data transferring.  And in USH 1 and 3 the speed can be up to 320mpbs.

Which card is good for you?

For storing media files only: if you want to store media files like movies and music only than you can use any card from Class 4 and above.

For HD recording: If you want to record HD by your phone camera than you must use a card of Class 6 or above. If you use a card of Class 4 the card can’t read and write the data given by your camera so in some part the video can lag.

For 4k recording and High end games: if you want to record 4K videos and also want to click photos while recording you should use a card of USH1 or 3. If do this by using Class 10 card the video will not give you the 4k quality.

For cameras and DSLR:

 If you only took normal photos and videos you can use any card of Class 6 or above.

If you clicks RAW images and also record 4K videos than you should use an USH 1 card. If you use USH3 care its do better work with you DSLR’s.

*In some phone you can transfer some of your apps to SD card. In this situation you should use a card of class 10 or above. Because if you use a low class card it lags to read and write the data of that app, so may be that app will lag or if you play a game than it could hang.

So friend before buying a card please check your need and then find get it. A card of same capacity could be in different price because of its technology of holding capacity or because of its data transferring speed.
