Hello everyone,
I just installed an app called A1 SD Bench Click.
Now for the issue that I just discovered. My Bench shows Read 18.22MB/s and Write14.92MB/s. I know the card I have should have around 60MB write and 40MB write. But I thought maybe its a device limitation, but that didn't stop me from trying the same Micro SD on my Tab S.
The Tab S showed a Read speed of 58.99MB/s and Write 30.84MB/s. So that got me wondering if there is a problem with my Note 3 or is the Tab S capable of using the full speed.
Could anyone try the app and report back with the advertise card speed vs the bench speed?
Thanks

I'm having issues with my micro SD card. Its a 16GB class 10.
I noticed lately that my benchmark tests the sd speeds are around - Writing 8.5 MB/s and Reading 14.6 MB/s.
This is far from normal values and other tests I have made.
I have formatted the card and preform several speed tests using my PC and the card is working perfect.
Minimum I got was writing 14.3MB/s and Reading 17.8MB/s.
All other values were superior.
So card is working well as always was, but apparently de benchmark results on mobile are showing very low values and far from a standard Class 10 values.
could there be a problem with my device?
Nope, as you noted in the MIUI thread, when you overclocked your device that copying increased in speed. The device just may not be able to keep up with the card to a certain extent.
But I always got higher values,e.g., writing above 12 and reading above 17 with this card in this device. Just now I started to have these low values.
My device just came from official repair due to a cashed screen and I'm getting suspicious they have done something. Is it possible?
Highly doubtful, maybe its just getting worn out?
Mines a A-data class 6 and it was writing at 8MB/s when I got it, now I'm lucky to get 4MB/s
The card is just 1 month old... Besides if I test it in my PC the results are just fine and normal
Is it possible to check another SD with same format? maybe from mates?
the tests I mad on my PC the results ar normal but I have tested my card in other phones, Samsung Galaxy S2 and Samsung Galaxy Ace and in both the results are horrible.
Samsung Galaxy Ace
Writing speed 6.4
reading speed 14.3
Samsung Galaxy S2
Writing speed 8.8
reading speed 15.4
What the **** is going on here that I can't find a common sense for this behavior?
Results are generally lower on phones when benching sd cards.
Did you try tinkering with sd-booster to increase your results?
but before I got normal results with phone benchamrks:
writing 12-15
reading always up 17
Using same phone and same card and the results got very poor.
If I test the sd on my PC the results are normal but in the device got very low
Firstly format your card with phones formatter then Download sd formatter on pc and format your card with it by putting it in sd card reader
Then test your sd card in phone again

Speed on pc depends on settings. if write cache is enabled the speed is a lot improved. Mine in other hand with pc i got 4 times lower value than with my phone. It was les than 4MB/s of writing, but my laptop is 5 years old. but speed is kinda good anyway, but i'm using WinXP, and other ****ty newer windows versions i think uses write cache so the file physicly is not already written but windows shows it is...and if you pull card you'll get write delayed error... anyway..there is no 100% accurate method to test it..in home environment.

thank you
Did this and actually inproved the writing speed of the card.
Several mobile Benchmark tests and values always around 11.1 and 11.9 but even then far from normal which is 14
One thing I also noticed and never mentioned. As higher the CPU OC lower the score of SD card writing. So 800mhz much better than 1.5Ghz and so on
transcend is the Best
Guys , i have been using a Transcend Class 6 card for past 2.5 years ..
No problems yet plus superb perfromance ...
Write speeds : 8-9 Mbps
Read :Around 14-15 Mbps...
I think its the winner in this category ...
So old thread...............

Is there any problem answering to a 7 months old topic?
Should he start a new topic stating "I'd just like to reply to that a post on a old topic, so here it goes..."
LoL

No, but he asked question and quoted from "account currently disabled"-guy.

Hello everyone,
What should be the normal SD card read speed? I hve done a benchmark test on antutu, and almost every time, my SD card read speed comes low (esp as compared to sd card write). Is it normal? And if the sd card speed read is slow, that means phone/apps/games stutters?
Please see attached image:
No.

Benchmark scores are just for referral ... it's all about the usability ... if you think your phone is fast then you have no problem.
I just wanted to share some of the information i found.
I'm currently using Micro SD from Sandisk called Sandisk Extreme. The card have speed of 60mb/s Read and 40 mb/s Write. I used an app called A1 SD bench to test the card speed on my phone.
The result I got on my Note 3 was 19-21mb/s Read and 9-14mb/s write. As you notice even though my card should have higher numbers but I think the Micro SD reader slowing it down. Now that I have the Note 4 the result is amazing. I have 59.8mb/s Read and 38mb/s write. The numbers are very close to the advertised card speed which is great.
I though I will share this information just so you know that note 4 does benefit from higher micro sd card speed.

Damn! I knew I should have bought a faster card.
Thank you for the info!
I have a PNY U3 Turbo Performance 64GB High Speed MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-I, up to 90MB/sec Flash Card. It seems to get slower with time. I mean it is literally taking me like 60 seconds to delete a few pictures. The card is formatted to portable storage. I only store music and photos on it. Reformatting offered no improvement. It is borderline unusable.
So, I benchmarked and found that my read speed is about 59 mb per sec and my write speed is 4.4 mb per sec. I can live with the read speed but the write speed is horrible. What gives?
How many pictures are you talking about, and how large are they?
128KB clusters?
I found trying to use 4K clusters in exfat was resulting in the same slowness. Reformatted to 128KB clusters and it flys (~20MB/s write ~70MB/read). Sandisk ultra plus 64GB.
I have this issue as well I have one of the fast Samsung cards. First few months worked great super fast but now takes a while to carry over a gig of pics and music. I also notice lag in loading and delteing photos through the phone
These are normal pics 5-6 MB. There has to be something wrong.

If you find any info/solution let us know.
Im thinking about running it through one of the tests that show the read/write speed, if its not up to par on that I will contact samsung see if its covered under their warranty.
Why not opt for a 128GB sd card? My Moto X Pure will be here Thursday. I have a 64GB in my old phone but I may get 128.
Has the OP tried backing up their data and reformatting the card?

Yes, I have tried this a few times and it did not help. The write speed of this particular card is somewhere between 5 and 9 mb/sec. I have used multiple benchmarking tools that all confirm the same thing. The sad thing, if you drill down into the specifications for a lot of these new sd cards there is no mention of write- speeds. I asked a question similar to my OP on Reddit and had somebody with the same card echo my issue. Terrible write speeds. I am not in the mood to buy another card with great specs only to find it performs poorly in my phone? There is still a part of me that thinks it's hardware or software related and specific to the phone. I can't quite believe that something advertised as "turbo", UHS-1, Class 10, and 90 mb/sec has an actual write speed of 5 mb/sec. It seems criminal.
^^See my post #3. I've found this card to have very good write speeds on the phone of ~14-16 MB/s, reads around 40-50. On the pc through a usb 3 card reader I can write at the speeds posted above.
But yes, unless you drill down, the marketing and advertising doesn't list write speeds. I can see why. It all depends where you'll be using it. I'll be lucky to see sustained 10MB/s read through my dash cam (not sure what the write speed even is) even through the card is capable of 40MB/s +.
I should say, using the moto x, through MTP, I've seen read speeds upwards of 35-40MB/s, write speeds of about 7-10MB. The card is faster through twrp, backup stats indicate ~14-16MB/s.

Hi, I'm currently thinking about popping an SDcard in my xplay and was wondering how fast the slot runs at?
I was thinking maybe I will be wasting my money getting the fastest card on the block if the slot speed is slower than the SD card.
Also am curious in the difference in speed of the internal memory compared to the fastest speed of the sd card.
If anyone has any info on the above would be grateful for your input.

I've just borrowed an SDcard out of another phone (Samsung evo (yellow)) and benchmarked against the internal SD card and got the following scores:
External - (read) 34.36MB/s, (write) 20.0MB/s
Internal - (read) 89.76MB/s, (write) 53.35MB/s
Has anyone found an SDcard that is as fast as the internal?

I don't think there are sdcards available with the same read/write speeds as internal. On my old moto g with LP ROM I always installed big games to my sdcard using apps2sd and the only difference i noticed was that it takes a little longer loading an app.

I was just looking at the benchmark results database for the "a1 SD benchmark" app and there are a few submissions that encourage me to think it may be possible with a card like the Samsung Pro series which can do around 80r/70w MB/s. Only thing that has me wondering is whether the card interface would be a bottleneck?

It also depends on the phone I guess as to how much speeds it can reach.

Just Popped a Samsung Pro card in which is rated as 90/80 and an only seeing 54/21 so am assuming the sdcard interface is neutered in some way compared to some other higher end phones.
Anyone else noticing this performance ceiling?

Not neutered - All SD card interfaces are slower than the actual memory built in to the phone, this is right across the board for all phones. It's a known bottle neck that's a fact of life. That is the biggest thing in favour of more memory in the actual phone. I'm not a gamer but I have a ton of apps installed on the SD card and don't find any negative impact on day to day use. That said if I could have bought a 32 or 64GB version of the Play I would have instead of the 16GB version.
Your never going to see the tested speed in the phone equal the SD card out of the phone.
