What Does Class Mean On Micro Sd Cards

Thankfully, micro SD expansion is on the cards, but which is the best microSD card for your Nintendo Switch? What with the Nintendo Switch supporting cards up to 2TB, there's plenty of different.

Not all memory cards are created equal, and it's easy to get confused when faced with the alphanumeric soup of specs splashed all over SD card packaging, all claiming to be the fastest and the best. Well help is on the way. The SD Association has just two new symbols to help consumers choose the best SD memory cards for their specific needs and devices. The symbols identify high-speed performance standards for SDXC and SDHC memory cards and devices: The UHS-I symbol (a bold capital letter I) is for products with bus interface speeds up to 104 Megabytes per second (which is four times the existing 25 Mb/sec speed maximum), and a new UHS Speed Class 1 symbol (a number 1 nestled inside a letter U) is for UHS-I cards and products that include a performance option to designed to support real-time video recording. While the new Speed Class 1 symbol will only appear on UHS-I SDXC and SDHC products, note that the existing Speed Class symbols (Class 2, 4, 6, and 10) are for non-UHS SD, SDHC, and SDXC products and refer to the minimum write speed performance of the cards.
