That's useless since counterfeit cards exist and people are happily fooling themselves trying to make 'a good deal' (buying that nice non existing fake 256GB card on Aliexpress for $20). Please read through this first: http://www.happybison.com/reviews/how-to...sd-card-8/
There's no alternative to test the cards directly after purchase to ensure you got a real and not a fake card. And all performance numbers published for SD cards are problematic since there are only 4 vendors out there that manufacture their cards using their NAND dies and their controllers (if you buy Kingston, PNY and the like you never know what you really get). Please compare with http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic...rformance/ (all performance numbers are valid for Pine64 since the board also implements only the slowest SDIO mode)
