MicroSD memory cards are classified according to performance and capacity. The main difference between classes 10 and A2 is their performance and random write capabilities, which can be important for certain uses, such as mobile applications and adoptable storage devices.

Class 10: This class is primarily designed for use with cameras and similar devices. It guarantees a minimum data transfer speed of 10 MB/s, which is sufficient for recording high-resolution videos, photos and other types of files.

A2 class: This class is more recent and offers superior performance, particularly in terms of random read and write speeds. An A2 class memory card guarantees a minimum write speed of 10 MB/s, but it also offers a minimum random read speed of 4,000 IOPS (input/output operations per second) and a minimum random write speed of 2,000 IOPS. This makes it suitable for use with mobile applications and games, where fast data access is essential.

In summary, if you mainly use your microSD memory card to store multimedia files, a class 10 will generally be sufficient. However, if you intend to use the card to run applications directly from it, a class A2 card may offer better performance, reducing loading times and improving the responsiveness of your device.
