Taking a look at the cheapest "authentic" Micro Sd Card: The Ghost Manta U3

With all the new cloned handheld emulators coming out from China it's such a hard time to find a good authentic card for cheap dollar, I've done research and have found that the Ghost Manta U3 is not only cheap at an average cost of $12-$10 but also pretty reliable, not that long ago we would only be limited to certain brands and a 128GB could average a total cost of $20 even to $50 back in the day, so to have a micro SD Card this affordable we really need to see if it's any good.

My Camera isn't the best quality so I do apologize.

The Ghost Manta U3 is produced by Silicon Power, which is a pretty well known company, the card it's self does not come with a standard SD card adapter but if you're like me you already have tons of USB devices or adapters that work perfect with Micro SD. SP for short, they have been making affordable storage for a while and aren't bad for what it's worth. Now to look at some specifics.

The read and write speeds are a bit slow but passable for my needs. H2testw took exactly about an hour to fully test it's capacity. with an average 28.2MB write speed and a 38.9 write speeds.

Warning: Only 120547 of 120548 MByte tested. Test finished without errors. You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again. Writing speed: 28.2 MByte/s Reading speed: 38.9 MByte/s H2testw v1.4

CrystalDiskMark gives slightly better reading to take it for what it's worth.

Over all I believe that the The Ghost Manta U3 is a great reliable and affordable Micro SD Card if you're looking to save a few bucks. As always when it comes to shopping on Amazon especially with storage do read over the product details as their are a lot of fakes, looking at the sellers name is a great way to start as I've seen scammers with gibberish names attempting to sell off items at a really low and cheap price. However I've ran this card and it seems to be holding up fairly well.
