About Hardware Kingston MicroSD 1GB
The Kingston MicroSD 1GB is a compact flash memory card designed for portable devices such as smartphones, cameras, and tablets. With a microSD form factor, it offers 1GB of storage capacity, ideal for basic file storage needs like documents, low-resolution photos, or music files. This card utilizes a standard SD interface, ensuring broad compatibility with devices that support microSD or SDHC formats.
Though it lacks the high-speed performance of modern UHS-I or UHS-II cards, its modest read/write speeds are sufficient for light data transfer tasks and basic multimedia usage. The card’s durability—resistant to shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures—makes it a reliable choice for environments where physical durability is prioritized.
While its 1GB capacity is limited compared to current high-capacity microSD cards, this Kingston variant remains a cost-effective solution for users requiring affordable, portable storage for legacy devices or minimal data backup. It is particularly suitable for applications where large storage or high-speed access is not critical, offering a budget-friendly alternative to newer, higher-end flash storage options.
This hardware test uses a card reader from VENTION with a GL3224 controller model.
