Following up on my own thread here, it’s now February 2025 and I bought a SAMSUNG PRO Plus microSD Memory Card + Adapter, 128GB microSDXC, Up to 180 MB/s, Full HD & 4K UHD, UHS I, C10, U3, V30, A2.
This is one of the highest rated card in terms of performance: U3, V30, A2.
The same “Tech House Pack” (27.5 MB) loads in about 30 seconds on the Play+, same as when I tried with the Polyend provided SD card back in 2023 (see post above). No improvements to report.
So there is probably no point wasting money on fast cards. The Play+ loads faster than the Play for sure, but 27.5 MB in 30 seconds is very very slow, that’s barely 1MB/s for a microSD card that can supposedly do 180 MB/s. I can’t imagine how much more pleasant it would be if the Play+ could load even 5 times faster.
@Arek you recommend A1 or A2 profiles in your What capacity SD cards can be used with Polyend Play and what’s the file partition format used? post, but can the hardware handle it? Thanks.
