Hi - My wife and I bought two P3113s for Christmas. Her's seems faster when accessing anything stored on the extSdCard (off-line maps, music, movies, books, etc).
I installed SD Card Tester and was surprised by the performance results on the external sd cards.
Tablet 1, card 1: write speed= 6.1MB/s read speed= 14.9MB/s (avg of 3 tests)
Tablet 1, card 2: write speed= 5.9MB/s read speed= 14.7MB/s
Tablet 2, card 1: write speed= 5.7MB/s read speed= 5.7MB/s (avg of 3 tests)
Tablet 2, card 2: write speed= 5.6MB/s read speed= 5.9MB/s (avg of 3 tests)
Regardless of the card used, Tablet 2's read speed is much slower. I reformatted each card in Tablet 2, re-ran the tests and had the same result.
Can anyone tell me, Is my tablet slow or is my wife's tablet exceptionally fast?
If someone else wants to try this, here is how I did the test.
1. Install SD Card Tester (free) from Play Store
2. Go to Task Manager then Ram manager and press Clear Memory
3. Start SD Card Tester
4. Set path to /mnt/exSdCard
5. Leave file size set to 300MB
6. Press Start Test and wait for completion
7. Write speed is on the left, read speed is on the right
8. Run test two more times and average times
Any help would be appreciated.
Technical notes:
- Both tablets are running 4.0.4 (UEBLH2)
- Both cards are Sandisk Ultra 32GB class 10, UHS-1
- In SD Card Tester, the path was /mnt/exSdCard using a 300MB file size (using larger files gave the same result - it just took longer to complete each test)
