Expandable memory is very important, even if mobile phone handsets and media today players come with 16 GB or more of internal memory. The question is – why not more? Plenty of companies including big names like SanDisk have a reply to that! With 32GB memory cards becoming a reality, storage space has gotten a boost. Here’s our take on SanDisk’s new Mobile Ultra 8GB MicroSD Card.

Package
What we’re particularity tickled with is the fact that SanDisk has graciously included a small USB card reader with the Mobile Ultra 8GB MicroSD Card. This makes it very convenient for users to remove and transfer data quickly. The card reader is small and lightweight, so it does have the potential to get misplaced easily. A small strap is included, but it’s too small to be effective.

Nevertheless SanDisk has bundled many accessories for the card, and that does make it a worthwhile option.

Performance
When it comes to flash memory, there are no hard and fast rules as to performance. Often, cards boasting very high read/write speeds are able to offer only good read speeds, and flop on their write tests. Other cards are able to achieve more equitable results and hence offer better VFM. To eliminate flawed results, we divided our test section into synthetic and real-life tests.
