I compared the performance of the card reader 'SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD and microSD' that can draw out the performance of the ultra-high speed SD card by 100% with the card reader built into the notebook PC

◆ SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD and microSD read performance check
In order to verify the read performance of 'SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD and microSD', '

SanDisk 1TB Extreme PRO SDXC ' (maximum read speed 200MB/s), ' SanDisk 256GB Extreme PLUS SDXC ' (maximum read speed 190MB/s) , ' SanDisk 1TB Extreme microSDXC ' (maximum read speed 190MB / s) is available.



Let's compare the reading performance by inserting the above three types of memory cards into the built-in SD card reader of the notebook PC '

VAIO SX12 ' and 'SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD and microSD'.



The execution result of the standard benchmark software '

CrystalDiskMark ' is as follows.

・SanDisk 1TB Extreme PRO SDXC (maximum read speed 200M/s)
When inserted into 'SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD and microSD' (left), it recorded a speed close to the maximum read speed of 189.59 MB / s, but the read speed is half with the built-in SD card reader of the notebook PC (right) It dropped to 89.73MB/s nearby.



・SanDisk 256GB Extreme PLUS SDXC (maximum read speed 190MB/s)
The read speed with 'SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD and microSD' (left) is 186.12 MB / s, and the read speed with the built-in SD card reader (right) is 90.05 MB / s. 'SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD and microSD' can draw out the speed according to the specifications of the SD card, but the built-in SD card reader can only demonstrate less than half the performance.



・SanDisk 1TB Extreme microSDXC (maximum read speed 190MB / s)
The notebook PC used for comparison does not have a microSD card slot, so I inserted it through the conversion adapter that came with the card. The measurement result is 184.96 MB / s for 'SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD and microSD' (left) and 89.41 MB / s for the built-in SD card reader (right). 'SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD and microSD' was able to bring out the performance according to the specifications in the same way with microSD.



Next, in order to verify the file transfer speed in the actual usage environment, save a 16.5 GB folder containing 2788 photos in 'SanDisk 1TB Extreme PRO SDXC' and use 'SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD and microSD' and the built-in SD card reader, and measured the time it takes to copy data to the PC.



The measurement result is 106.74 seconds for 'SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD and microSD' and 209.87 seconds for the built-in SD card reader. 'SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD and microSD' was able to finish copying in half the time of the built-in SD card reader. Checking the transition of the data transfer speed during copying, the built-in SD card reader (right) is only about half the maximum read speed of the SD card (200MB/s) of about 80MB/s, but 'SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD and microSD' (left) was able to transfer data at a speed close to the maximum read speed of around 160 MB / s.



As mentioned above, when using a high-speed memory card, the card reader built into the PC or an external card reader with low performance may not be able to bring out the full performance of the memory card. In recent years, it has become possible to easily shoot large-capacity movies with smartphones and action cameras, so there are many opportunities to save large-capacity data on memory cards. There must be many people who have experienced feeling that it is slow. 'SanDisk Professional PRO-READER SD and microSD' Highly recommended if you want to bring out the original performance of SD cards and microSD cards.
