The SDXC said the memory card type “high-speed memory card”, is the latest type, the maximum capacity of up to 2TB; and the SDHC is slightly inferior, only a maximum of 32GB. If you buy 64GB’s SDHC card, it must be false.

 

Interface Type of Memory Cards for Cameras and Mobiles

 

At present, many SD card faces are marked with “I” or “II”. The former means that the card supports UHS (Ultra Hight Speed) protocol, which means that the maximum interface bandwidth is about 100MB/s .As for the UHS-II, you can provide faster read and write speeds on devices that support this format. The two UHS specifications are backward compatible, and your old device can use the new protocol’s memory card, but it can only perform the upper speed limit of the read device.

The speed of the memory card is divided into reading speed and writing speed. In general, the speed of reading the same card is higher. The speed of the SD card is not only related to itself, but also related to the device that reads it. The same card will have a different speed, meaning its performance in different situations. The best combination of cards and reading devices is needed to give play to the best performance of memory cards.

In short, the first to consider the speed of the experience, if used in the card camera, I recommend the lowest purchase U1 card; if you have a GoPro, it is recommended to buy U3 card. Capacity can refer to their own mobile phone photography / camera space usage, if you do not have too frequent shooting needs, 32GB and 64GB is a more reasonable capacity. If your phone supports an external memory card, or if you have a Nintendo NS, the card with the A1 logo is more suitable for you.

 

As for brands, I recommend Samsung, SanDisk, Toshiba. By the way, even if these brands produced, the target parameters are not necessarily accurate. After you have a fancy memory card, you can go to the review sites to search on its’ evaluation .
