Can you download and run A1 SD Bench and run an "Accurate - with reboot" test on the Internal Memory?

Here's one that is pretty highly rated. By comparing the results to expected benchmarks, you can get a rough proxy for the health state.
​
You probably read an article like this. Android ICS is considered quite old now, so no need to worry about something like this for your next phone. http://forums.androidcentral.com/ambassador-guides-tips-how-s/359981-guide-using-chkdsk-fix-corrupted-sd-card.html
I don't see anything for how to fix/scan an sd card using your android device (unless you have root) but running an app like this would force the phone to try to read the card so it should basically give you a test. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a1dev.sdbench&hl=en
Android corruption of sd cards seems pretty rampant (esp in older devices) and I remember my old phone did it twice. All of the more recent android phones of myself and significant others (Lollipop and Marshmallow devices mostly) have not exhibited the same corrupting behavior. I am not sure if these things are related or just coincidence but hopefully they give you some confidence for the future.
I am sorry, I don't see any way to check the SD port health. I imagine this would involve root and reading some pretty obscure logs if it could be done.
The Sandisk Ultra 200GB is the current card I use in my phone, and also my SOs. Just ran a couple of benchmarks on both and averaged around 60MB/s read and 10MB/s write on both cards (3 tests on each). It'd be a noticeable difference, so it's worth deciding if you'd need the capacity, or if a smaller capacity for faster speeds would be a worthy trade.
Note that I did this with an app rather than say CrystalDiskMark as we are currently on the go, and I'm not sure how accurate it is. Moving files seems to yield similar speeds so I'd say it's pretty accurate.
I'm getting close to the same:
SanDisk Nintendo 128GB
- READ: 84.00MB/s
- WRITE: 68.95MB/s
SanDisk 400GB Extreme
- READ: 82.28MB/s
- WRITE: 68.60MB/s
Onn 256GB (Walmart)
- READ: 68.97MB/s
- WRITE: 53.23MB/s

Was there something particular about SD Insight you liked but hadn't found in others?
Phone supports UP TO 256GB. If you're concerned about read and write speeds from your phone, I suggest you get a benchmark app to test that.

So far I haven't noticed much if any difference. Certainly no issues streaming 1080p mkv files, and spotify doesn't seem to run any different on the SD card.
It depends on the sd card and several factors in the hardware between the os and the card. you can download the A1 SD Bench app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a1dev.sdbench&hl=en) which can benchmark your phones internal and external memory for both throughput and random I/O speed.
It's probably their own app (check the website the article is on). They have A1 SD Bench but it doesn't look like it.

Use that app to test the speed of both your phone / SD Card.

A: No, it doesn't: during boot, CM13's alien will turn yellow, then the phone will reboot.
~~Could you please provide me a better sd benchmark application? I have too much different results with~ A1 SD Bench~~
Check out this app:a1 sd bench Please See if the results are the same or not.
Thanks. Does the button move when you slide your finger from down to top? Can you do quick MicroSD benchmark with this app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a1dev.sdbench

Try a1 SD bench?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a1dev.sdbench
Yes, plenty fast. You could buy a slower and cheaper one even, without any loss of performance. The bottleneck in read/write speed seems to be the phone: around 22mb/s read and 12mb/s write. This according to several benchmarks which you can find in threads on the oneplus forums.
For reference, I'm using this card and using the benchmark app
A1 SD Bench I get these results.
In conclusion, assuming the r/w speed won't improve with future updates from oneplus, any card that is faster than above benchmark will have the same speed.
Good luck
Edit, also assuming you'll be using your SD card mainly just to extend your phone's storage - not to plug your card into a pc/camera where you can benefit from faster r/w speeds when moving (large) files around a lot.
Secondly, be aware of current SD card kinks and bugs on the X. There are many reports of certain file systems (fat32/exfat/ntsf) not working as expected and general compatibility (apps not able to write to card, can't mount, etc). See xda and oneplus forums for more.
For me on OS 2.1.3-x the card works ok formatted as exfat. Not flawless though.
Can you try checking your cards speed with this app ? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a1dev.sdbench&hl=en
