Test Procedures:

We connected the ADATA Premier Pro UHS-I U1 Class 10 32GB SDHC Memory Card to our Kingston MobileLite G3 USB 3.0 card reader to eliminate bottlenecks associated with built-in, USB 2.0 card reading devices. We then attached the card reader to one of our Asus P8Z77-V motherboard's native USB 3.0 ports for testing procedures.

Each test was repeated to ensure the results were consistent.

Test Results:

CrystalDiskMark is a useful benchmark to measure theoretical performance levels of hard drives, SSDs, memory cards and other data storage devices. We are using V3.0.1 x64.

Reaching sequential speeds of over 90 MB/s for read and almost 50 MB/s for write, ADATA has produced a very fast SDHC memory card in the Premier Pro. Worth noting is the non-existent performance drop when moving from compressible to incompressible data.

For reference, only the sequential read performance of a 320GB Seagate 7200.12 HDD is able to surpass the Premier Pro's read performance, with the other 3 read results going in favour of the ADATA memory card.

The ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement tool is compatible with Microsoft Windows. We used ATTO to measure the ADATA Premier Pro SDHC memory card's sequential read and write performance.

ADATA's claims of 95 MB/s sequential read and 45 MB/s sequential write speeds were legitimate with the Premier Pro achieving excellent sequential performance in the ATTO Disk benchmark.
