AUGAOKE is a brand that I came across while browsing through microSD cards on AliExpress. However, it appears that they don’t have a website where they list their products — which means that they fail the criteria that I set out for determining what’s considered a name-brand card. They don’t meet any of the criteria for being considered a knock-off, so I’m going to lump them in with the off-brand cards in my results.
As of the time I’m writing this, I’ve only started testing on one of the three samples I purchased — so the information below is based on that one sample.
This card came in quite skimpy — the card advertised itself as being about 54.53GB in size, meaning that it comes in at a skimp factor of 14.8% — much higher than most of the other authentic cards I’ve tested. (In fact, out of the authentic cards, only the Somnambulist 128GB’s scored higher.) Personally…I don’t see how you can market this as a 64GB card — its actual capacity is nowhere close to that.
Performance was not impressive. This card’s strongest suit was its sequential read speeds, which came in just a little bit above average; however, all other measurements came in pretty solidly below average. This card has…marks on it — they’re supposed to resemble speed class markings, but they’re very obviously (to me, at least) not the official SD speed class marks. It’s as if the person designing the artwork for the card tried to recreate them from scratch, got about halfway done, and said “eh, that’s close enough”. But at any rate — it has the Class 10 and U3 marks; performance was good enough for the Class 10 mark, but not the U3 mark. However, I’ll throw in my standard disclaimer: my testing methods do not align with those prescribed by the SD Physical Layer Specification; it’s possible that they would have performed better had they been tested under proper conditions.
On endurance:
- Sample #1 has not yet hit the 2,000 read/write cycle mark. It is currently expected to get there sometime in December 2025.
- Samples #2 and #3 are still in the package, waiting to be tested.
