    • 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. By the way, the KEY to digital accuracy is called 'handshaking'', whereby at the eol (end-of-line) the byte-count is compared before advancing and denoting an ERROR if it is not the same. Other than that, it's just SPEED, which just keeps going up and up……the Japanese have affirmed, with cost no issue, that the internet could transfer 1000 movies per second, if they are correct, and I believe they are. 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

    • Best for dash cam for lengthy storage
Capacity: 128GB Style: Standard - up to 130 MB/s
First off, the read and write speeds are fantastic — transferring files (even large ones like high-res videos and photos) is super quick. I didn’t notice any lag when loading apps or playing games, which is always a big win in my book. Plus, the card's U3 and A2 ratings ensure fast app performance, making it perfect for anyone looking to run apps directly from the card. The build quality is top-notch, as expected from Samsung. It's waterproof, temperature-proof, and shockproof, so I don’t have to worry about damaging it from everyday use or accidents. I also love the fact that it comes with a 5-year limited warranty, giving me peace of mind. As for storage, the 128GB version is plenty for my needs — I can store tons of music, photos, videos, and apps without worrying about running out of space anytime soon. If you're looking for a microSD card that combines affordability, reliability, and performance, this one is a no-brainer. Highly recommended! ... show more

    • 1TB just slightly slower than 512 GB PRO Plus.
Capacity: 1TB Style: New Generation - up to 160 MB/s
Review Image by Amazon Customer Amazon Customer
I recently tested two Samsung microSD cards – the 512GB PRO Plus and the 1TB EVO Select – using a Samsung card reader. I used CrystalDiskMark to compare their speeds, and here are my findings In sequential read/write tests (SEQ1M), the 512GB PRO Plus consistently showed slightly faster read speeds (around 183 MB/s read vs 166 MB/s read) . Both cards offer good write speeds, hovering around 120-130 MB/s. In random read/write tests (RND4K), there was not much difference in performance . ... show more

    • Easy and fast
Capacity: 128GB Style: New Generation - up to 160 MB/s
Got this SD card for my security camera. Love that it has a lot of storage space. I was going to order a generic Amazon brand but was worried the transfer speed wouldn’t be fast enough so I spent the extra couple of dollars to get this one and am absolutely pleased with it. It came with an adapter so I can look up the videos on my computer and haven’t had an issues. Formatting was easy and had no problems at all. I have another one in my switch and works just as good as the other big name brands for a fraction of the price. Do recommend ... show more

    • This survived my phone drowning
Capacity: 256GB Style: Standard - up to 130 MB/s
I got this as extended storage for my old Galaxy S8, as the internal storage didn't have much room. It was easy to install, as well as set up once in my phone. It has a significant amount of memory capacity, and although it didn't directly take the pictures or videos, the quality was able to be higher when the files were sent directly to it upon capturing. It survived my phone being dropped into a pool, the phone itself didn't survive, but I was so happy this did as I had set it up to where photos and videos went to it directly. ... show more

    • Sufficient for the price, not 160Mb/s
Capacity: 512GB Style: New Generation - up to 160 MB/s
Could be my hardware but from a Windows 10 computer via SD adapter that was supplied with this product, I was only able to achieve no higher than 70Mb/s transfer rate from an SSD drive. The read rate is sufficient for media transfer. Recommended to format first prior to installing into a device, as the storage capacity is not 512 out of the box. Sits in the mid 400s for I'm assuming hidden files etc. chip quality is sufficient without the bulky microchip that previous models had. All in all, could be faster but you get what you pay for I suppose. Running a 10th gen i3 processor at 3.73Ghz average clock speed with 16Gb DDR and a Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 as the device. ... show more
