Tested. Negligible difference compared to 95mbps extreme pro cards.

Theoretically 95 vs 100 is negligible, and real life also reflects that.

I have the 128GB A1 card tested vs micro 32 95mbps extreme pro.

If the price difference is a lot then it's pointless.

Btw, certain phones have a bottle neck read speed. Pc test vs phone test have different results, but the difference is even smaller or nonexistent given the small max read difference.

On my note 4 I only clocked 68MBps read and 66MBps write. However when tested on slower cards like Samsung Evo, the read write speed is even slower compared to the max write read speed advertised.

However, on certain applications, moving it to the sd card from internal drive, shows that when you read certain higher read speeds, the load time is negligible, possibly due to cpu bottle neck. This is like the case of buying 960 pro nvme vs 850 evo ssd to load games - no real or negligible load speed.

Edit: internal drive of note 4 clocks in at read 200MBps in comparison. But complicated huge app loading is 12s sd vs 11s in internal drive.

Tldr not worth the price difference for the performance (extreme pro 95), but a welcome upgrade from slower cards.

Thanks for the long reply. Actually i just wanna replace my old Sandisk Ultra 48mb/s. I'm getting only 3-4mb/s write speed so any sd card is an upgrade for me. I'm curious about this A1 card tho. It says A1 card can achieve better iops score, so i thought it might better choice if i want to install and run apps from sd card.

But then, i forgot to consider about that speed limitation. 😅
