The A1 rating ensures that applications launched directly from the microSD card respond with the same fluidity as those stored on internal memory. For management, the SanDisk Memory Zone app provides a centralized interface to view, access, and back up files from your phone in one location, automatically moving files from your device to the memory card to free up space.
