Post SDCard test: Samsung 8GB class 2 vs Kingmax 8GB class 10

I got a new SD card today, Kingmax 8GB class 10. Got it from eBay for an odd $20 including shipping (arrived in 2 weeks).

Read test - HD Tune:

Stock:



Kingmax:



Read/write test - CrystalDiskMark:

Stock:



Kingmax:



Read/write test - USBDeview:

Stock:



Kingmax:



Unfortunately I cannot do any device tests yet, as my phone is in for 'repairs' (random reboot problem).

Good to hear someone got something off ebay that wasn't fake!
Nice job grabbing that.

Great information! I was looking at Kingmax cards today and I question if they were legit or not since I haven't heard of them. After seeing this test i'm ordering one .

From what I can tell, everything works. How genuine (actual SanDisk, it is written on the card) it is, I dunno. I will be testing it some more to be 100% sure.

Update:

chkdsk reports a few bad sectors (512KB in total). It could be that this was so cheap due to not passing Q/A tests. Doing a slow scan now.

chkdsk output:

Code:
Windows has checked the file system and found no problems.
   31,934,464 KB total disk space.
           32 KB in 1 files.
          512 KB in bad sectors.
   31,933,888 KB are available.

       32,768 bytes in each allocation unit.
      997,952 total allocation units on disk.
      997,934 allocation units available on disk.
