About Hardware V-GeN 2GB MicroSD
V-GeN 2GB MicroSD is a small-capacity memory card that is still widely found in older devices such as feature phones, MP3 players, or early generation digital cameras. Using the conventional MicroSD standard, this card has high compatibility with various devices, although its data transfer performance is relatively low when compared to the new generation microSDHC or microSDXC cards.
With a capacity of only 2GB, these cards are more suitable for storing lightweight files such as text documents, configuration files, or a limited number of songs. Currently, cards like this are mostly utilized for special needs such as bootloader recovery, light backups, or simply backup storage for legacy systems.
The test was conducted using a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 with 12GB DDR4 Dual Channel RAM, running Windows 11 22H2 operating system, and using a VENTION USB 3.0 Card Reader with GL3224 controller connected to a USB 3.1 Gen 1 port.
From the performance testing results, the card recorded read speeds of 18.25 MB/s and write speeds of 10.70 MB/s in CrystalDiskMark. While in the Cross Platform Disk Test, the read speed reached 22.41 MB/s and write speed was 10.27 MB/s. These results reflect the typical performance of a low-capacity microSD, which is still sufficient for light use but clearly lags behind modern microSD cards.
Device Test:
Device: Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 (using VENTION USB 3.0 Card Reader GL3224 Controller)
RAM: 12GB DDR4 3200MHz Dual Channel (8+4)
OS: Windows 11 22H2
USB: USB 3.1 Gen 1
