About Hardware DDR4 SODIMM 3200MHz [Disk]

DDR4 SODIMM 3200MHz is a high-speed RAM module designed for use in modern laptops with a small form factor (SO-DIMM). With an effective frequency of up to 3200MHz, this module delivers higher bandwidth and better power efficiency compared to previous generations, such as DDR3. These DDR4 modules are perfect for heavy multitasking, large application processing, and light gaming on portable devices.

In this test, the 3200MHz DDR4 SODIMM module was configured as a RAMDisk, which is a super-fast storage system that utilizes part of the RAM capacity to serve as an ultra-high-speed virtual drive. Using a RAMDisk allows for much faster file access than an SSD, making it an ideal solution for data caching, temporary file processing or extreme I/O testing. Despite its temporary nature (data is lost when the computer is shut down or restarted), its performance advantage is felt in certain scenarios such as fast rendering, program compilation, or storage benchmarks.

The test was conducted on a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 laptop with an Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, 12GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM in a dual channel configuration (8GB V-GeN + 4GB onboard Micron), and Windows 11 22H2 operating system. The 2GB RAMDisk was created using SoftPerfect RAMDisk and ImDisk Virtual Disk applications, two popular software for managing RAM-based virtual storage.

The benchmark results showed very impressive performance: CrystalDiskMark recorded read speeds of 7844.91 MB/s and write speeds of 12726.74 MB/s, while in ATTO Disk Benchmark (64MB block size), read speeds reached 5740.00 MB/s and write speeds of 6020.00 MB/s. These results prove that using RAMDisk with 3200MHz DDR4 is one of the most effective ways to deliver ultra-fast storage performance in laptop systems, exceeding the speed of even NVMe SSDs in certain scenarios. With ultra-low latency and high bandwidth, 3200MHz DDR4 SODIMM-based RAMDisks are an attractive solution for users who require extreme performance for specific tasks.

About Hardware Kingston Canvas Select Plus MicroSDXC 64GB

Kingston Canvas Select Plus MicroSDXC 64GB is a high-performance memory card designed to meet the storage needs of devices such as smartphones, digital cameras, tablets, drones, and laptops. With a capacity of 64GB, this microSD is suitable for storing large collections of photos, Full HD videos, music and applications.

Using UHS-I Class 10 technology, the Kingston Canvas Select Plus offers read speeds of up to 100MB/s, providing a fast and stable data transfer experience, and supports high-quality video recording without lag. The card is also designed with a high level of resistance to water, shock, vibration and extreme temperatures, making it an ideal choice for both everyday use and professional scenarios.

The test was conducted on a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 device, with Intel Core i5-1135G7, NVIDIA MX350, 12GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, and Windows 11 Home 23H2 operating system. The card was tested using a Lexar RW450 rev B card reader (GL3231S Controller) via a USB 3.1 Gen 1 port, in brand new condition, with no files (0% usage), default file system exFAT, and Quick Removal policy in Device Manager.

In our performance testing, the 64GB Kingston Canvas Select Plus performed quite well for the mainstream microSD class. Through testing using CrystalDiskMark, the card recorded a read speed of 89.52 MB/s and a write speed of 20.75 MB/s. Similar results were also seen in the Cross Platform Disk Test, with read speeds of 89.56 MB/s and write speeds of 15.71 MB/s. Meanwhile, the test using AS-SSD recorded a read speed of 87.60 MB/s and a write speed of 16.22 MB/s. Overall, this performance reflects the card's ability to efficiently handle common tasks such as file transfer, video recording, and light application usage.

These results prove that the card is capable of handling common needs such as Full HD video recording, large application installation, and data backup, with good efficiency and reliability.

Overall, the Kingston Canvas Select Plus MicroSDXC 64GB is a solid and affordable storage solution for users who prioritize stable performance, high endurance, and broad compatibility across digital devices. A great choice for everyday needs as well as intense multimedia activities.
