    You didn't even talk about the A1 and A2 icons at all! They are usually the most important ones to me since they indicate how well the card performs when it comes to application/OS usage or general read/write performance when you deal with a lot of small files.

    One thing I would mention is that SDHC and SDXC look the same but sometimes you might have a computer with a reader that does not detect SDXC only SDHC since XC came out after the reader was made.

    Thank you very much for this video, this really made me understand the ratings, the written websites can never really explain this propperly, I'm also a bit dyslexic so it tires me to read those, in fact, recently if there's something in computer hardware and OS's that I don't understand I tend to search that with the word ThioJoe at the end, because likely, you have made a video about that, and it did absolutely help me. I find it funny how I use computers since the late 90s, my dad got me my first computer probably shortly after Win98 came out, I remember using his Win95 Computer before that, and I'm still learning so much, learning how OS's and tech actually works behind the scenes is so interesting.

My iPhone 7 currently has 4000+ Pic and my Google account I just upgraded to 100GB subscription which I am on limited income now and it's an extra EXPENSE I never needed before. Flashdrives took care of storage issues before but now technology is getting overwhelming and I can't grasp everything because I'm stressed out about loosing my important info & pictures that I have because my precious memories of life b4 digital camera etc.. my son and family photos were destroyed and my dad was actually my computer guru and he passed away before the flood and I purchased myself a HP Stream 14 laptop 12/2017 and never finished attempting to set-up just pulled it back out 8 mths ago before my tablets got full and the rest is dumb blonde 😭 56yr old computer/technology illiterate dumbass trying to get education and not make matters worse 🤔😨😱.

    It may not be the best idea to buy the biggest capacity card your camera can handle, rather 2 or 4 smaller ones. I was speaking to a professional wedding photographer and noted she used a number of quite small cards. She explained that it was a precaution, if one card got lost or was faulty she still had images on the other cards for the shoot. If she had used just one big card, a loss or a fault would have been a total disaster.

    @grn1 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    It seems a few things have changed since the last I researched this. At that time Class 10 SDXC was top of the line and a few devices (including at least one phone we had) couldn't use them. It's also not the first time I looked back into something to realize that new standards have somehow emerged without tripping my radar like Wireless AC (which I learned about a few years ago when looking for a new router and is now being replaced by AX/Wifi6) and M.2's (which I learned about when designing my new PC a couple years ago). I actually learned about USB 3.2 after I had already assembled my new machine and found out it had a couple of the ports (phew). Recently heard that DDR5 is soon to be released or may already be released. The scary part is that I actually read and watch tech news all the time.

    I made the mistake of getting a V90 card before I realized it was rated in MB/s not Mbps so it was way faster than I needed. Lucky I was able to return it and get a V60 card which is still more than I would ever need because that V90 card was expensive. Camera does up to 400Mbps, but I usually record in 100 or 200 anyway.

    i think there are devices that doesn't support SDXC because many doesn't want to be formatted in FAT32 nowadays, but NTFS of exFAT only, though there are some softwares out there that can force-format it in FAT32 still, if you REALLY need it to be formatted in FAT32 (for reasons like the device you're using the card on doesn't support NTFS or exFAT)
