raystriker · Jun 17, 2012

Hi guys, I wanted to ask which of the following should i use for my nds slot 1 flash card. Here is the list of microsd cards i have-

I used a Chinese multicard reader for these tests

Here are their performance graphs-

non branded Chinese 2 GB microsd

Kingston 2GB microsd

Non Branded 8 GB microsd

Non Branded 2GB Japanese microsd

So, which ones can I use for my slot 1 nds flashcard?

The kingston 2GB seems to have the best read speeds overall so it looks like the least likely to give you lag issues.

how about the "Non Branded 2GB Japanese microsd"? Its performance goes up to 14MB

The speeds vary more and are worse, but whatever works works.

Try to get something decent if you can (with a brand, non-kingston).

I guess i'll just settle with a 32 GB Sandisk class 10 micro sdhc..........That'll end all the woes
