  • NOT CHEAP, but still BEST for massive storage, speed & longevity it has -- 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 a dozen of these 512 Gb & 8 1Tb USB's and I can't blame a single one for causing a major error, although I did have one 1 Tb destroyed by a crashing hard drive--this was verified by the FORTECT internet company. I keep looking for errors, 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 it's good, not to mention a full Terabyte, extremely 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 38-1/2 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 many of these micro devices that fit on the tip of your finger and so far, they've worked extremely 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. (however, I have to concede one thing....I haven't seen a failure yet with these micro devices, 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, probably due to late spot editing. 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, checked by Properties function. 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, it NOW being sequencial..... if you can believe that. Thank progress for digital technology, because I remember the analog days do 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 really believe they are. Have you ever wondered WHY streaming seems to work so well? 081725: STILL GOOD. NO FAILUREs early 09/25 I jinxed it--GOT 1 FAILURE......HOWEVER, I could not blame the Samsung for SURE because later that day my hard drive crashed, and it crashed 8 more times next few weeks, and was kept in software perfect operation only by FORTECT internet scan/repair service.....I asked their opinion as to the cause of the SSD failure and their professional opinion was most likely the failing hard drive. I kept the internet running during these crashes only due to their online program software-restoration each time. Conclusion: these 1Tb SSDs are still very reliable. Not cheap, but good. mjm ... show more

  • For people worried they are getting counterfeit Samsung Micro SD cards
Capacity: 128GB Style: New Generation - up to 160 MB/s
Samsung does have an phone app to check for authenticity, but on a PC it's the "Memory Card/UFD Authentication Utility"which is integrated into their "Magician Software" I can't give a link but if you just do a google search the first link or so it should take you right to the tools on Samsung's website. Again for PC is their "Magician Software" As far as the SD card. It's their EVO model so it's going to have lower write speeds. Generally 90MB/s-60MB/s depending on size. The Samsung Pro Plus has 130 MB/s, write speed and the Samsung Pro Endurance only has 40MB/s but can handle continuous writing far better before failure than their other cards and it fine for 4k video....Even for 2.5k I would get a Pro Endurance or best get a Pro Ultimate card wih130MB/s write speed and you get the speed and endurance. It's overkill but it will give you peace of mind. I'm poor so I plan on using the EVO in a FHD security camera and have no reservations with that. The only thing is for a security camera with continuous writing I would get a large size to prevent early failure. The EVO has a 10 year warranty but that doesn't help when you lose your data. The Pro Endurance will be capable of far more writes before any failure. That and the Pro Ultimate would be a better choice for cameras but I still have faith the EVO will last. Only time will tell ... show more

  • Samsung EVO Select micro SD Memory Card + Adapter 512GB microSDXC, Up-to 160 MB/ 4K UHD
Capacity: 512GB Style: New Generation - up to 160 MB/s
The Samsung EVO Select 512GB microSDXC card is an impressive storage solution that offers a lot of value for the price. With such a massive capacity, it's ideal for users who need to store large amounts of high-resolution video, music, games, or photos. I’ve used this card across multiple devices — including a Samsung phone, a GoPro, a Nintendo Switch, and even a tablet — and it hasn’t let me down once. Read speeds are excellent. Files load quickly, games launch without noticeable lag, and videos — even in 4K UHD — play smoothly and record without buffering. It’s really convenient for expanding storage on portable gaming devices or action cameras, and it handled everything I threw at it, including hours of 4K footage and hundreds of large media files. The included SD adapter works great with my laptop, making file transfers easy and seamless. However, the write speeds don’t quite match the lightning-fast read speeds. While they’re still solid for most tasks, if you're planning to do constant 4K recording or use it for high-speed photography in a professional setting, it may lag slightly behind some higher-end cards. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's noticeable compared to more expensive pro-grade options. Durability-wise, the card feels well-built, and Samsung claims it’s water, temperature, magnet, and X-ray proof. I haven’t tested all those claims, of course, but it’s nice knowing it’s designed to survive in rough conditions. Overall, this is a dependable, fast, and affordable memory card that does exactly what most people need — and does it well. It’s not the absolute top-tier for pro content creators, but for the average user, it delivers great performance and more than enough space. Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. Excellent all-around card with huge storage and great speed. Just short of perfect for professional users due to moderate write speeds. ... show more
