  • I can trust Samsung.
Capacity: 128GB Style: New Generation - up to 160 MB/s
I can trust Samsung. It hasn't broken yet. I've been using a microSD card sold as a private label by Microcenter. It would break once every couple of months. Naturally, it would erase the data inside. I was so angry. I knew I had to buy a reliable product. I chose Samsung because of its brand reputation. I've been using it for six months without any issues. I bought the 128GB version because that amount of storage was more than enough.It was also the most affordable. Its features seem to be excellent, with fast write and read speeds. It fits perfectly inside the device and works flawlessly. It's easy to use because you simply insert it into the SD card slot. It even includes an adapter that allows you to use a microSD card as an SD card. Don't regret buying another product; buy this one. Buying another will only cost you more. I guarantee it. ... show more

  • Reliable, Fast, and Worth Every Penny!
Capacity: 512GB Style: New Generation - up to 160 MB/s
I’ve been using the SAMSUNG EVO Select microSD card for a few months now, and it has exceeded all my expectations. I bought it for my GoPro 11 to record YouTube videos and no issues at all. What I love: ✅ Speed – Transfers are lightning-fast. I move large video files and high-res photos all the time, and this card handles them without breaking a sweat. Apps also load quickly when stored on the card. ✅ Reliability – No data corruption, no glitches, and it’s been through a lot—heat, travel, and even a bit of water. Still going strong. ✅ Capacity – Tons of space. I’ve loaded movies, music, photos, and games and haven’t come close to filling it up. ✅ Price – For the performance and capacity, this card is a steal. I’ve paid more in the past for cards that didn’t perform half as well. If you need dependable, high-performance storage for your phone, camera, or console, look no further. Samsung nailed it with this one. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • NOT CHEAP, but BEST for massive storage, speed & longevity it apparently has -- in MY OPINION....
Capacity: 512GB Style: Standard - up to 130 MB/s
I've used and tested several brands, and my personal opinion is that this SAMSUNG, although more expensive, is best for massive storage.....again, in MY opinion. Good luck to you. Like all memory products, it starts out expensive (~$50+), and just keeps getting cheaper.....and that's great for all of us. But I also like the many bytes I can record or transfer very quickly. That pertains to all manner of stuff, including 4K video. That's what I use it for, and so far I've acquired more than six of these 512 Gb USB's and I can't blame a single one for causing a major error. I keep looking for them, but there's been nothing that I can blame the device for. Knock on wood....and the fact they keep getting cheaper is pretty good too. When you duplicate as many bytes as I have, back and forth sometimes (I don't like fragmented files), and the byte count is still always exact -- for half a Terabyte, that's really good. I'm old school....but ain't digital great? I remember trying to do this 50 years ago (YES!) with analog.....and I was consequently very sad, a lot. NOTE: All's good, but to be specific, I really like the PRO version with the connected USB. That's great. And, I also re-format in NTFS...all I want is the memory for remote portable drive use. That's ME. That's all I want to say. --> all for NOW, that is. I have finally noticed how HOT these little 1 Tb guys really are......can't keep your finger on them when they're working and recording so fast I'm not saying this as a FINAL condemnation, because it MIGHT even be within tolerance for this thing. However, if it's ONE thing that I've learned after 38 years experience in electronics, it's that HEAT ultimately kills most failed electrical devices, big & small. I started with audio repair, and ended with programming excalibur and other fuze stuff for ARL. HEAT kills, sure, but I still will admit that it may not be so conclusive, after all. I've gotten more than 10 of these things and so far, they've worked very well, even ALMOST perfect, I must admit....NO MORE than a few bytes altered during transfer, with absolutely NO failure noted (I'm told by a computer repair owner that the memory will work flawlessly for a time, and ultimately will just give out all of a sudden--answer, use BACKUP! ).....but, I'm still thinking of clip-leading a little fan to come on every time I apply power to a circuit, or, maybe even getting a tiny little heat sink. I don't know. But I'm sure going to continue testing these things out......just be aware that 'heat kills', period. (I have to concede one thing....I haven't seen a failure yet, hot or not) MORE....Oct 24, 2024.....yes, it's more. And not a single failure with many hours of transferring, reading & writing ---with over a dozen of these big memories (1/2 & ONE Terabytes) being used a great deal, I cannot recall a single failure that was the chip's doing. Hot, yes, but NO failures. And, at most, while transferring a TeraByte of data, fragmented or otherwise, the most difference in the whole lot was no more a few bytes....and I kinda laughed that off. No problem. Also, last year I mentioned the 'defragging' of the memory during a 1Tb-to-1Tb session. I had a terribly fragmented chip that I transferred (yesterday), and it took about 3 1/2 hours, give or take, and AGAIN showed about 25 GigaBytes MORE memory available after the transfer for the new chip, with identical memory capacities on both. This is about what I reported before, so with the accuracy & acceptable speed (for me) the de-fragging effect made the copy faster by reading/writing faster afterwards, along with greater accuracy, now being sequencial..... if you can believe that. Thank progress for digital technology, because I remember the analog days very well. Same data, but much, much different results. FINAL edit....Dec 22, 2024.....This is so long now, I might as well add something I left out......the reason digital is mostly 'more accurate' than analog is primarily due to something called 'handshaking'', whereby at the eol (end-of-line) the byte-count is compared before advancing and denoting an ERROR if it is not identical. Other than that, it's just SPEED, which just keeps going up and up in digital land……the Japanese have affirmed, with COST no issue for conductors, that the INTERNET could transfer in the neighborhood of ~1000 movies per second, if they are correct, and I believe they are. Have you ever wondered why streaming seems to work so well? ... show more

  • Perfect SD Card
Capacity: 128GB Style: New Generation - up to 160 MB/s
This product at this price might be one of the best phone related purchases I've ever made. It gives additional space on device that it is used on based on the amount that you select when purchasing. All you have to do to use it is takes out your sim tray and insert this SD card into the SD card slot and make sure you hear the click before inserting the sim tray back into the phone. It is really is use and insert no problems occurred for me. Order this product now because its value is insane. ... show more

  • Full Terabyte of Storage - Great Price
Capacity: 1TB Style: New Generation - up to 160 MB/s
I love Samsung cards, I've recently switched to using them over Sandisk and other brands because they're consistently a cheaper priced, and higher-quality card. I have the 1 Terabyte card in my Nintendo Switch, and it is entirely filled to the limit, but gives zero issues and has not corrupted. It's not like some of the fake cards out there that claim it's 1 TB but is secretly 64GBs and the rest corrupts. This is a very reliable card and I've been using it for months now with zero issues. ... show more

  • Reasonably good deal, Good quality
Capacity: 256GB Style: Standard - up to 130 MB/s
This is a good Micro-SD card. It's reasonably fast (as fast as these kinds of cards really can be), and it hasn't had any compatibility issues or failures I've noticed. It seems like it'll last a while, and it's a reasonable price for the form factor and storage space.
