Style Name:Retail Packaging|Size Name:32 GB
I purchased this PNY 32 GB microSDHC Flash Memory Card (P-SDU32G10-EFS2) over one month ago, to expand the storage of my Pandigital Planet 7" Android Tablet (R70A200). At that time, this 'class-10' card was priced just slightly above other 'class-4' cards, so it looked like a good deal. After thoroughly testing the card, however, I was disappointed by its lackluster performance.
I benchmarked this PNY card upon its arrival, using the "Flash Memory Toolkit v2.0". Its read speed is consistently high at 14-18MB/s. But its write speed is strongly dependent on the file size:
- For smaller files of 2-5MB, its write speed is very poor at just 3-5MB/s
- For larger files of 10-15MB, its write speed improves to about 8MB/s
(See the performance chart I uploaded to 'Customer Images' section for details)
Next, I tested the same card using "H2testw v1.4". This program measures the sequential read/write speed for 1GB files. Under this test, the PNY card achieved write speed of 9.5MB/s and read speed of 18MB/s.
I repeated the above tests on two different computers using two card readers, and obtained consistent results. Just for reference, I have previously benchmarked the PNY Professional 16 GB Class 10 SDHC Card (P-SDHC16G10-EF) under identical conditions. It was able to achieve write speed of 13.6MB/s and read speed of 18.5MB/s. So the problem is not with my setup.
For a card to be marketed as 'Class-10', it must be able to deliver a MINIMUM write speed of 10MB/s. This PNY micro-SDHC card, however, can only achieve a MAXIMUM write speed of 9.5MB under best-case scenario. In other cases, such as when used in a digital camera (file size around 3-5MB), this so-called calss-10 card actually performs slower than a SanDisk class 4 microSDHC SDSDQM-032G.
It appears to me that PNY has loosen its definition of 'class-10', in order to market this micro-SDHC card at a higher price. An even more disturbing observation is that: this practice seems to be a growing trend among memory card makers. Case in point:
- The Kingston Digital 16 GB Class 10 SDHC Card SD10G2 performs much slower than Kingston 'class-4' card when used in a digital camera.
- The SanDisk Ultra 16 GB 6 SDHC (SDSDRH-016G-A11) was called a 'class-4' one year ago. But now the same Ultra card is marketed as a 'class-6'. Although to be fair, the old Sandisk Ultra card actually performed better than most other brands of 'class-6' cards.
I despise deceptive marketing claims, therefore I cannot recommend this PNY 'class-10' micro-SDHC card.
[Update on Dec 2, 2011]
I double-checked the PNY card using another program (CrystalDiskMark v3.01). The result is actually worse than my previous finding. For sequential writing of huge files (500MB) it only reached 8.65MB/s. See my newly uploaded chart in 'Customer Images' section for details.

I purchased this card(PNY P-SDU32G10-EFS2) to store movies (MP4/MKV about 1GB to 1.5GB each) for watching on an internet tablet. I'm currently using a 16GB class 4 that has average write speed at about 6.7MB/sec. It takes about 40 minutes to fill up my current 16GB card. I was hoping I could cut down the time to reload the movies with this PNY class-10 microSD card. However, I was very disappointed when this microSD card maxed out just about 8.5MB/sec write speed. I used SDFormatter from sdcard.org to reformat the card, but the result did not improve at all. It took 1 full hour to fill up the card (with file size of 1GB - 1.5GB each). Read speed was considerably faster - at about 16MB/sec. On the package it says "15MB/sec max" write speed.
I gave this card 2 stars because it has decent read speed, but it was unable to meet the Class-10 specification, which (I think) should have a minimum write speed of 10MB/s.
I performed the write/read tests on the following computers/readers: Acer i3/Win7 laptop with built-in SD card reader, Dell Studio Quad core/Vista with a multi-reader, a Sandisk SD/MS reader, and a tiny generic black microSD reader (less than a buck from Meritline). I did not notice any difference in performance when used with or without the SD adapter.
My only other class-10 card is the 32GB SD card from Centon that I used with a Canon M300 HD camcorder. This card gives me at least 18MB/sec write and 22MB/sec read speed. However, this Centon card only works with the Sandisk reader and the reader on Dell computer. The reader on my Acer i3 laptop could not read this card.
I paid a premium for this PNY miroSD card (more than what I paid for the Centon) hoping for a a similar read/write performance, but I did get it. I'm returning the card.

This micro sd card is an amazing value. Lots of storage space, decent speed at an incredible price. A quick 4gb test from the H2testw showed the following:
Writing speed: 9.09 MByte/s
Reading speed: 17.6 MByte/s
When used with my ContourHD camera, 720p60 clips seem to stutter when playing right out of the camera. Videos are ok when extracted to the hard disk, but I have yet to fill upthe card with videos so more usage is needed to conclude on the card's long term stability.
The main reasons I bought this was because of the high speed, high storage at a relatively low price. Of course, I was hoping that it can deliver, but the current results are pretty decent. Also, this might be a limitation of either my card reader or USB port, so I'll give the card the benefit of the doubt. It was also on discount at $59.99, which makes it an even better buy.
I would be hesitant to believe in the the advertising on the packaging. There is a Sandisk lookalike marking which states that this is a Class 10 card that delivers 15mb/s write speed**. I am not sure if that is really possible, so perhaps other buyers can share their experiences with this card.
Lastly, the packaging on my card comes with a free movie download from the PNY website. You can choose 1 out of the 35 or so movies, which was a pleasant surprise since it wasn't stated anywhere on the product page that this comes with a free movie download. The card also comes with the adapter as shown, which is a great help to maintain when using normal SDHC card readers.
I would have given it 4.5 if Amazon allowed. This card is so close to getting the full 5 if not for the slight speed difference that I got from my card.

Bad brand, not lifetime warranty, and need proof of purchase.
I bought 16GB MicroSD card. Product worked for a couple years, then failed. Customer service at PNY required 3 proof of purchase for the warranty and it is only 1-Year Warranty.
