Hi all,

After a try to use a SSD with sata interface, my system is not stable in Android. For any reasons, after 10~15 shutdown/start, the system can't restart properly.

So, I'm thinking to buy a good SD card. For my tests, I actually have a 8Gb Kingston card (class 10). But the performance is not here, even it's better than a class 4. (and I think Orange Pi don't works with a class 4)
I would like a 64Gb SD card, class 10 of course, but I thinks there's differents class 10.
So I have seen these models:
- Samsung 64Go SDXC UHS-I EVO Micro SD Classe 10 : Read 48 Mo/s, Write: 10 Mo/s
- SanDisk Ultra 64 Go Classe 10 UHS-I : Read 48 Mo/s, Write 15 Mo/s
- SanDisk Extreme PLUS 64 Go Classe 10 UHS-I U3: Read 80Mo/s, Write 50 Mo/s (link)


This last choice is the best I have found.


My question: Does the Orange Pi capable to take benefits of the UHS-I U3 performance (UHS bus) ?

I am using a Lexar x633 card (this one: http://www.amazon.com/Lexar-High ... L633R/dp/B00IF4OC8Y)
I didn't do any benchmarking on the OPI side. (my PC writes at about 25 MB/s using the Lexar USB SDHC reader).

I have also asked this question on BPi forum, and the response (for BPi pro) is that the speed rate for writing is not up than 16Mo/s, due of a limitation of A20.
The comparaison RPi / BPi is here: http://www.mikronauts.com/review ... eview-first-look/6/
It could be interessant to see the same test for Orange, but I think it's the same.
Thanks for your link, I know now that Orange works with UHS-I/U3 cards.

My 8Gb card is 19,4 MB/s (read). I have tested with dd, to copy the card on my SSD.
(the SATA works again!)
But I have chosen this card: SanDisk Extreme 64 Go Classe 10 UHS-I U3
No Lexar available in France, I don't know why.

Are you sure your getting enough power to the ssd? I would use a 5v step down from 12v to directly power it. Dont let usb's do it.

One point for you, maybe it's for this reason.
The problem is the % of  the rendement (I must convert 19V), and so, a lot of juice is lost in the air...For example this one: 80%
But I will look by this way, thanx

After a try with the SanDisk Extreme 64 Go Classe 10 UHS-I U3, the result is almost the same than the SSD. Without the consomption !
So, it's a good investment for the Orange

I get read 361 MB/s and write 12.08 MB/s with A1 SD Bench on AndroidEdit: 361 Mb/s is a little big in my sense but the application says that... I will try another app to verify
