Kingston 256 microSD Card

The Kingston 256MB microSD Card may not have the capacity of larger flash memory cards, but it still performed very well. It did well in our tests, showing very good read performance and a write performance of approximately 32X. All in a tiny card the size of a fingernail.

That's pretty surprising because it's mainly targeted at mobile phones, which are not devices that particularly scream high performance! Still, if you need a fast microSD card for your mobile phone, this card should fit the bill.

The package itself is pretty great, with Kingston throwing in not only a protective plastic case but also a microSD adaptor card. This allows you to easily transfer data from the microSD card to your computer.

If you are looking for a microSD card, you should certainly give the Kingston 256MB microSD card a look. It's fast, has a nice package and from what we saw at press time, is actually cheaper than its competitors!

* Our New Review System

ARP is committed to developing new ways to improve your experience with us. As part of our continuous efforts to improve the value of our reviews to you, we are implementing a new review system.

This new review system is designed to allow you to quickly receive information on the latest hardware. This new system also allows you to quickly get the gist of the review without reading through it. This can be very useful, especially in situations where you need to make a quick purchase decision.

In this new system, we start with a Product Overview whenever a company sends us a press release about their latest product. We shift through extraneous PR-talk to create a straightforward summary of the product's features as well as specifications. This allows you to quickly find out all the pertinent details about the product, without reading through official press releases.

When we receive the product for review, we will quickly take photos of it and create a Pictorial Review. The purpose of a pictorial review is to allow you, the reader, to quickly examine the product visually. It may help you make better purchase decisions, especially if you cannot wait for the full review.

After thorough testing, we will post a Comprehensive Review of the product. This adds on to the pictorial review with comprehensive test results and our final conclusion on the product.

But no matter whether you are reading a Pictorial Review or a Comprehensive Review, you can always read the summary of the review as well as examine the product's specifications right on the first page. In all our new reviews, we will maintain the first page as a Product Overview page. If the product is listed in PriceGrabber, you can also check out the lowest price online.

We hope this new review system will make your experience a lot more enjoyable and informative!
