I ordered these since I have a number of small gadgets that I use in retro gaming machines and other projects.These cards stood up to some significant abuse during my testing. For the first card, I had to re-image it for the raspberry pi a number of times as I needed to restart to overwrite some changes that I had made. The image flash was super easy and fast. I probably inserted and removed the card about 50 times into the raspberry pi and another 50 into the SD reader I was using. Fast read response and boot each time, fast write when imaging, really great.The next thing I did involved copying around 8000 small files. As many know, copying a lot of small files takes way longer than copying large files of the same size. Still, this averaged around 10-15MiB/s on the small-file writes, peaking around 60MiB/s for me on the very few large files I needed to write. I don't think there would be difficulty reaching the speeds claimed, I just didn't have the occasion. Though I'll say imaging the Pi card was very quick.Both Micro SD came with plastic cases and SD adapters. They are different colors to easily differentiate them which I like. Not many others do that unless you switch between brands. The available size is accurate, and both came with fat32 partitions already formatted onto them. The Raspberry pi image written to one of them partitioned the card into two volumes which both mounted correctly and easily after multiple reimaging efforts.Great value on these things! Very happy with them.
