Thanks for the response and description @Majenko. I should have also mentioned this too but I was planning to also write the string of comma separated values to a microSD card. I thought it would be better to log the data once versus 8 times each void loop() - hence why creating the string might be optimal

Same thoughts apply for writing to SD. (file.print only writes to a buffer) You should consider calling flush or close/open less often than after every print, anyway.

Thanks @DataFiddler. I will try avoiding the building of strings and just submit to Serial/SD writing as data is ingested.
