Hi all,

I've recently purchased an Sandisk Ultra micro SDXD (64G/Class10). I am going to use the SD card mainly for content downloading on different devices (phone/tablet/laptop etc). The duty is quite heavy I would say as I use torrent for almost half of my downloads. I understand the fact that torrenting directly into flash memory will reduce the lifespan and that's why I chose Sandisk. They offer a Lifetime warranty for the Ultra line in Australia but it seems too good to be true. My question is what kind of warranty I am actually going to get? Let's say all these downloads kill my card at some point (either speed wise or capacity wise), would Sandisk honor their warranty and give me a replacement in the future?

PS: The speed is not that great for a Class 10 card either, I am having around 8MByte/sec write and 13Mbyte/sec read at the moment.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated

Phone and tablet have a built-in micro sd slot. Laptop is conncted through an SD Adapter. Card is formatted with NTFS.

The speed I got is pretty much consistent with all the devices so I think the flash memory is the actual bottleneck.
