Choosing the right microSD for Qubii. What is the highest storage capacity compatible with Qubii?

In order to effectively use your Qubii, you will first need to purchase a microSD card. Qubii supports a wide range of microSD cards as well as almost any storage capacity currently available on the market (up to 2Tb).  When shopping for a microSD card, we highly recommend purchasing your card from a trusted seller, platform and brand name. 

We advice our customers to beware of and avoid purchasing fake or counterfeit microSD cards. These cards may be cheaper in price and appear similar to the brand name versions, but are highly likely to malfunction as time goes by. Additionally, counterfeit microSD cards often have much less actual storage capacity than advertised (E.g. a card may advertise 1Tb on the label, but have as little as 8Gb of actual storage space). Using fake or counterfeit microSD cards may result in irreversible data loss. 

Unlike their counterfeit or fake counterparts, brand name microSD cards are more reliable, better quality, last longer and guarantee a smoother back up process. Using a higher grade microSD card ensures that your data can be safely stored for years to come.

How can I select a reliable microSD card for my Qubii?

In order to avoid potential risks caused by a low-quality, fake or counterfeit microSD card, Maktar has compiled some tips to help you purchase the right microSD card for you:

1. Choose MicroSD cards with write speeds greater than 10MB/sec

Qubii needs a minimum of 10MB/s of write speed to properly back up and transfer files. The read/write speed will determine how quickly your Qubii can store data on your card. While the Qubii supports as low as 10MB/s, we highly recommend selecting a microSD with 30MB/s write speed or greater. You can use the Qubii SD card testing tool to check the performance of your microSD card before storing data on it.

*Please Note: The Qubii SD card testing tool may produce results that differ from your SD card provider's manufacture label. Minor variations may be caused by slight deviations in the manufacturer's testing protocol. 

2. Select a microSD card from well-known brand names, trusted companies and official sellers. 

When shopping for a microSD card, buying a card from a well-known brand name, although slightly more expensive, will save you money in the long run. Brand name cards are more durable, last longer and are more reliable than the cheaper knock-off versions. You can also expect better performance and a longer lifespan in addition to faster read/write speeds. Two of the most popular microSD card brands are Sandisk and Samsung.

*Tip: Avoid microSD cards that are too cheap or sold under the market price, as these are likely fake. Their packaging may appear to have come from legitimate companies and may be labeled under familiar brand names, but these are often knock-offs and are not the same quality.

3. Buy microSD cards from authorized sellers like retail chains or reputable online stores.

Always be sure to order microSD cards from trusted sources. Normally an authorized seller will use trademark names under their listings and will provide better customer support when contacted. Also, when buying from a reseller such as Amazon, NewEgg, Walmart, etc., always make sure that the card is sold and shipped by the same company. 

4. Choose microSD cards that have been certified by Maktar. 

After thorough and meticulous examination, Maktar has selected SanDisk as our preferred microSD card provider. Maktar offers our customers a Qubii and SanDisk microSD card combo package through any of our official sales channels. For purchases made from one of our approved sites, we guarantee that the product is original, of good quality and will be compatible with the Qubii you have purchased.
