know your Memory Card before you buy

For storing files, photos, videos and different data’s we are using memory cards in our phones. But most of them are not aware of the different types of memory cards which are available in the market. They will only look for the offers and will buy the one which is having the best offer.

There are different types of memory cards available in market. I have explained about few memory cards below.

We should consider two things before choosing the best memory card for our phone. One is about the size otherwise we can simply say the storage capacity and the other is the speed.

Micro SD is the most commonly used memory card by mobile phones and it range from 2GB to 64 GB. According to the buyer, he can decide how much storage space is needed for his use. Higher the GB the higher will be the storage capacity, which means user can store more data. Also don’t forget to check your phone compatibility, because there are phones which don’t support memory cards having higher storage capacity.

The second one is the speed and this is the place where we need to give much more attention. Most of them will only check the storage capacity and forgot to check the maximum speed which can offer by their memory card. And note that, in memory cards Class determine transfer speed. The memory card which is having highest class will read and write information to and from the SD card faster than the lowest class.

i will explain it with an example, if you have brought a memory card of class 2, then your phone can only write 2 MB/Sec data into your memory card. If your memory card is of class 4, then it can write 4 MB/Sec data into your memory card, which means greater the class the greater will be the transfer rate. So always go for the memory card which is having the highest class.

Yes , that's a good question. And the best thing is that Identifying the class of a memory card is as simple as reading this hub. In memory cards you can find one digit written inside a semicircle, actually this semicircle is represent the capital letter "C" and which stands for class. The digit represented inside the "C" is the class and in the below picture it is "6". Just check the below picture were i have pointed that capital "C" with a white arrow.

In few memory cards you can see instead of "C" there will be "U" as shown in the below picture and this "U" denotes "Ultra High Speed" in short "UHS". UHS-I is the fastest category of card available today and which is the speed class for SDHC and SXDC memory cards. It is said that "UHS-I" memory cards can transfer up to 45MBps.

• Data transfer between phone and memory card will take much more time.
