About Hardware Intel Iris Xe Graphics (80EUs, Tiger Lake) [Disk]
Iris Xe Graphics (80EUs, Tiger Lake) is Intel's 11th Generation Core (Tiger Lake) iGPU, featuring 80 Execution Units (EUs) and improved performance over the previous generation. It is typically used for light graphics processing, 4K video playback, and casual gaming.
In this scenario, a portion of the VRAM (Video RAM) on the Iris Xe Graphics iGPU is allocated as a VRAMDisk, which is temporary storage within the VRAM. VRAMDisk can be used for data caching or certain experiments that utilize the high speed of VRAM for faster data processing, in this context the data storage is only used to store data and for speed tests.

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.
