Great capacity and read/write speeds for the price.
I bought this to use as a memory expansion for a Steam Deck and it performs brilliantly!The capacity is great for the price and the read/write speeds allow me to play games like Shadow of War of it with no issues, apart from slightly longer load times.

Great price
I have this in my Samsung tab a 9 plus. And its working well. I’ve saved my pix and 4k and hd videos with no quality issues in playback. as well as games. Has enough space for all that. Simple to install just slotted straight into tablet. Comes very well packaged

Donât buy a Samsung unless you already have one, madness. Just another way to get more money.
If you buy a Samsung tablet you canât register it without another Samsung device, phone, tablet or tv. I bought this to go into a tablet purchased from Amazon warehouse, but couldnât see the point when, after the set up, it said I now needed to complete set up with another Samsung device. I bought the Amazon warehouse one to replace my broken one. I donât have any other Samsung products apart from a freezer, it hasnât got a keyboard.. I will keep this card for my camera, and cancel my internet. I hate all this AI nonsense and Iâll go to Iceland for my shopping, they deliver what you buy Instore, I could always buy a data card for my phone I suppose, for occasional Amazon purchases. Im rambling now. Time to go.

Good for Nintendo Switch & Sony PSP
Bought a couple of these SP 512gb micro SD cards one for my Switch and the other for my PSP, have to say they work absolutely spot on especially in my old CFW PSP 1000 with a ProDuo to Micro SD card adapter, it formated it just fine and shows all the memory card space.Just in the middle of transferring my stuff over to my CFW Switch V2 and the write speeds are pretty decent especially for some of the heavy files sizes, 512gb gives me plenty of space to add my music, video files and games.Overall very impressed with these cards.

dead card. amazon wont replace.
the first card worked fine. I had no need to open the second card until 5 months later. When i opened it the card was dead. as i didn’t test the card on delivery there is no way to refund or replace.

Surprisingly good
I normally buy Sandisk and don’t consider anything else, life is too short. However a positive review by Toms Hardware for the “3D NAND” model of this card combined with the £4.50 per card price made me take a punt. And yes, the Toms Hardware review is right, here are fio benchmarks on Linux for the 64Gb size:4Kb random, i/o depth 64:read: IOPS=1212, BW=4852KiB/s (4968kB/s)(284MiB/60003msec)clat (usec): min=1638, max=55233, avg=51918.47, stdev=885.85write: IOPS=422, BW=1689KiB/s (1729kB/s)(99.0MiB/60005msec); 0 zone resetsclat (msec): min=4, max=292, avg=148.92, stdev=61.144Kb random, i/o depth 1:read: IOPS=1473, BW=5896KiB/s (6037kB/s)(345MiB/60001msec)clat (usec): min=534, max=3095, avg=666.96, stdev=25.87write: IOPS=414, BW=1659KiB/s (1698kB/s)(97.2MiB/60001msec); 0 zone resetsclat (usec): min=1132, max=24403, avg=2397.10, stdev=1274.00Sequential:READ: bw=89.7MiB/s (94.0MB/s), 89.7MiB/s-89.7MiB/s (94.0MB/s-94.0MB/s), io=1024MiB (1074MB), run=11419-11419msecWRITE: bw=28.7MiB/s (30.1MB/s), 28.7MiB/s-28.7MiB/s (30.1MB/s-30.1MB/s), io=1024MiB (1074MB), run=35631-35631msecIt looks like read i/o is the same for all size of sdcards, whereas write i/o approx doubles with sdcard capacity i.e. 64Gb card does writes at ~420 IOPS ~30Mb/sec, 128Gb card does writes at ~840 IOPS ~60Mb/sec. I see from other reviews that the 256Gb card is no faster than the 128Gb card.Yes your 64Gb Sandisk Extreme sdcard will be twice faster, but it’s double the cost. And more importantly for my use case, the Raspberry Pi Zero doesn’t get more than about 40Mb/sec from a sdcard in any case, so apart from random write IOPS these cards are a great fit for the Raspberry Pi Zero.While > 500 random write IOPS is recommended for the RaspPi, unless you’re compiling codebases on your Pi you’ll be absolutely fine with 420 random write IOPS. It’s the random read IOPS which makes the difference.

Carte Micro SD reconnu de suite par la console Nintendo Switch (juste bien mettre à jour le Firmware de cette dernière). J’ai facilement déplacé le contenu du stockage interne de la console vers la carte micro SD.Compatibilité nickel

I just got this Micro SD car with the SD Adapter it includes and I must say there is certainly a noticeable difference with transfer rate on this card compared to one I got back in 2009. I can’t state the longevity of this card but I can lay the facts out here. For less then 10 dollars ($8.99 to be exact) this is certainly the cheapest quality MicroSD I have found on here. I opened this up and as I stated earlier it does come with the SD Adapter (Which I’ll eventually use because app my devices only take the microSD but still a good thing to have around). I plugged it into my computer first and formatted it to exfat type. I then plugged it into my phone which it didnt recognize at first. So I did a quick Google search and if you want to use it with your phone you actually gotta format on the phone you’ll be using rather than formatting it on the computer first. All I had to do was go into Settings >> Memory >> Format. Takes a while 3 seconds of your day to do it. Now remember just because something gives you it’s storage capacity at 64gb doesn’t mean you’ll actually get 64gb. This is like that with any type of electronic storage device. Once formatted with my phone it delivers 58gb of storage space which in my book that’s really good for something that cost $9. Now upon further investigation this card is rated as XC1. Currently, there are actually 3 types. XC2 which I’ve read is the newest but not currently being used in too many things, and then there’s XC3 which had a faster read/write as compared to the XC1 which this product is. Now I don’t truly understand why top end products for ultra high def cameras and such need such a fast read/write other than the obvious it has much more data to process then someone like me is just using it as an extra storage on my phone. As stated previous I had MicroSD’s previously however I’m unsure what they were rated but at the time they we 16gb and back in 2008/2009 that was pretty substantial storage space on such a small card. The truth is though that this appears to be almost twice as fast as my old ones and its technically low performance compared to the XC3 cards. If you are using this for extra storage on say a phone or a netbook like I am to swal out movies downloaded from a phone to transfer that to your netbook it’s perfect. If a company says you need an XC3 MicroSD card then this isnt for you. Check the manufactures specs on what type of card it is to use. Lastly, ask mentioned previously it’s hard to tell how long this will last. Murphy’s Law, if something can happen, will happen if given a long enough time span. Thiw pertains to these card even though they have no mechanical function. A card can only read/write or re-read/re-write a finite amount of times. Has to do with the degradation of the metals to retain those magnetic markers that these cards use. I honestly feel more confident when I use one of these than I do an External Hard Drive powered off USB. I’ve had two of those in my lifetime. First one lasted 5 years, the last one lasted 7 years. I plan on buying a SSD external hard drive in the near future and also backing up files I deem important to me on these MicroSD card. You can never have enough back ups. I downloaded thousands of songs on my first external hard drive that I spent thousands of hours down loading on dial up internet. Imagine losing all of that! Then Imagine losing all of that twice!! I might even back up my back ups one day as well.

I have SP SSD in my desktop which has worked flawlessly. So I had no problem buying their SD cards. Buy with confidence.ððð

Aucun problème de fonctionnement constaté depuis que j’utilisé cet article. A voir avec le temps, sa fiabilité, car je l’utilise dans une dashcam qui est parfois soumise à forte chaleur dans une voiture.
