In a time when we take so much stuff
with us, it's always nice to have more storage to be able to take our
pictures, movies and music with us where every we go. Most phones
these days have the ability to use microSD cards or microSDHC cards
and they are getting larger and larger as time goes by, the price is
also coming down so it's much more affordable to take all of that
data with us.
Today for review I've got an 8gb
microSDHC card from Kingston, it's a Class 4 card which means it
should perform well with a rated transfer rate of 4MB/s. So read on
to see if this microSDHC card lives up to its rating and how it
compares to a couple other microSD cards I've got on hand.
I personally use microSD cards in my
AT&T Tilt cellphone, so this card will provide me with quite a
bit more storage to take my stuff with me wherever I go.
