You find a list of all MicroSD cards (including Amazon links) plus a top speed test at www.tomstechtime.com/microsd. Don’t forget to check out the best drone accessories at www.tomstechtime.com/gadgets. Stay tuned and fly safe!

Probably should have sandwiched them between 2 boards. I think that the pebbles in the road probably killed them.

@fjalingayao4499 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah i think so too. They broke because of the uneven surface they're placed on. especially those pebbles

I would like to know how long a memory card with data inside would last stopped, in an environment protected from humidity how long for the data to disappear from the card?

@rwbishop 7 жыл бұрын

If you run more 'durability' trials... I suggest a 'real world' test; running them with a load of laundry, both washer & dryer. All & all, flash memory is pretty robust stuff, it's what they now use in aircraft data recorders. Of course, that memory is very well armored and thermally insulated. Most (but not all) data from those recorders is recoverable, even after extended water soak periods. Their worst issues are recorders subjected to long term severe fire. Outright mechanical damage gets a few others, but all considered their overall performance is stellar!

My 64gb sandisk micro sd (non extreme) cannot be written after 2 or 3 years, can only be read.

Hey Tom, good tech info. Living in a cold Canadian winter climate we experience electro static shock with the dry climate. I'd be curious to know if the cards are affected when subjected to a static shock.

@@darkmewtwovoid my asus tablet has a curved edge and I gues it got stock with the mechanism I was presing when the tablet slipped away making an angle and bending it just a little while I was pressing and that was it for the sd card, it died I did took it out like thousends of time without any accidents I did that because it was easier for me to move big data faster, anyway lesson learned I will never pull it out from my devices I rather wait to copy things.

You did not test in boiling water, did not test at 250 degrees centigrade in the oven, did not test in microwave and you did not test the test of time with heavy usage. Time for another test I'd say.

Yet again, another informative video, thanks. I can't think of many electrical components which would stand the weight of a car driving over them. I was however, surprised of the heat and cold test.

@shobin05 5 жыл бұрын

@@locouk Driving over isnt even a good idea because there are many variables that could affect the end result, the way the tyre rolls over the card, the way the card is positioned etc. The best is to use a hydraulic press.

Next time please use tools that check the entire SD card for bit rot. Not just 3 media files encoded in fault-tolerant formats.

was hoping to actually hear the results of the tests, as after an SD card for the cold. Sadly Tom did the tests, but did not reveal the results for each card. What was the point of watching the video?

@darkracer1252 5 жыл бұрын

ofcourse they died from the car driving over it. and it's not because of the weight. the road was so uneven that you just twisted them. snapped the traces. ofcourse they don't work if you compromise the electronics inside. that said. if you took a micro soldering set and knew what you were doing. you could STILL recover the data.

@ethang105 7 жыл бұрын

Kenneth A it doesn't depend on the drone but the card. If you have a 8 gb card (that is what the drone comes with) then your storage capacity is 8 gb and so on

no, I mean the highest capacity P3S can handle. just like with phones... some phones are just expandable up to 32gb of external storage.
