    Worked fine in my GoPro
    Bought this as the 128Gb card I had before kept getting full and my GoPro kept reporting that the card was not fast enough (even though it was a the brand same as this card). Bought this card as it was about the lowest priced brand name card that was recommended for a Go Pro
    Happy to say just fitted, no potential performance issues reported and stores huge amounts more data – I had never quire realised how huge 4k video files were
    Would buy again – but I suspect that next time I’ll be able to get the 1Tb for the same price!

    Excellent quality Micro SD
    Bought for use in a DJI drone as this was the recommended product. Works brilliantly; great transfer rates and no issues with using the Micro SD card in controller nor drone.

    Great storage and fast transfe
    Using for my drones and value for money is great for its intended use.

    Transfer rate and reliability is great ad well.

    Very easy to use and manage depends on the device that you are using.

    No errors and gets recognizer easily when using for my drone (DJI), nintendo switch and android phone.

    Good
    The design is sleek and modern, making it perfect for everyday use. It’s incredibly easy to use, and the instructions were straightforward. I particularly love how durable it feels—I’ve been using it daily, and it shows no signs of wear and tear.

    It does exactly what it should! More Storage space.
    I have never really understood the written garble, the statistics written on the card (why would anyone?), as a memory card is just that, they should work & store stuff, plug in & play but NO! Some technologies require something a little more heavy duty especially for certain media usages & after a little research & some youtube videos on the matter this was the one to get.

    A trusted known brand. GB the size. Speed Class (U3), Application Performance (A2), Video Speed (V30), Xc1? also to do with run speed & capacity type (Micro Sd).

    Still don’t really get it but these are required specifications needed for gaming purposes (It works). So for future reference if & when I need more memory like a terabyte. I know I can trust this easy.

    Good price for memory capacity. Thanks!

    It’s good and does the job
    I was very hesitant about ordering this because I previously ordered the same but a 1Tb and I got like 800gb which was a huge chunk difference but this one I got what I ordered.

    The performance and readability is bang on. It’s a great value for money and easy to format. I mainly bought these for my CCTV and they work like a charm. No complaints here but a good SD card.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersPerfect micro sd card
    I recently picked up the SanDisk 64GB microSD card for my CCTV camera, and it’s been absolutely spot on. Fitting it into the camera was a piece of cake — it slotted right in and was instantly recognised by the system. No messing about with formatting or setup, which was a relief.

    Performance-wise, this card is awesome. My CCTV records in high-definition, and the footage is always smooth with zero lag or buffering. Transferring files to my computer is a breeze too. With 64GB of storage, there’s loads of room for continuous recording. My camera runs 24/7, and this card can store days of footage before it starts to overwrite older files. No worries about missing any important moments.

    This SanDisk card has been super reliable. It works perfectly even in extreme weather, which is great since my camera is outside. I haven’t had any issues with data corruption or errors. SanDisk’s known for durability, and this card lives up to that — it can handle tough conditions, making it perfect for a security setup that’s always on.

    For the price, the performance and reliability are brilliant. It’s a cost-effective way to boost your camera’s storage. Overall, I’d highly recommend the SanDisk 64GB microSD card to anyone looking to upgrade their CCTV system. It’s fast, spacious, and reliable — exactly what you need for a security camera.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersGreat for Dashcam
    I needed a new SD card for my Nextbase dashcam. Nextbase website urges people to get a card only from them due to, amongst other things, ensuring proper write speed and compatibility. But Nextbase SD price is exorbitant. This SD exceeds the write speed and works perfectly.

    Good allrounder card for phones and tablets
    Nice Micro SD card for phones and tablets. While not the biggest storage size, its a decent enough size for most people likely to be needing a storage card on their electrical devices.
    The type, class and rating are good for every day use, and ive had a few of these cards and all have been excellent. Have now bought another for my dashcam to every day use.

    For use in my Sony Walkman Music player.
    I bought this one for my Walkman which had to be setup by the latest installed software, in the device which formats the card.
    Just like the mobile phone uses an additional memory card with a larger capacity, than the built in one in the phone.
    The same way far the Sony Walkman I have, I should have bought the 512gb rather that the 256gb one , as they fill up quicker.
    My advice is to see how much storage space you have used, and the double it!
    The manufacturer of these memory cards is one of the best I have used, as I have bought memory cards for my Nikon D850 DSLR camera.
    You can’t go wrong with this manufacturer as the high quality of the integrity over the years, is very good!

    Compatability with gopro
    Bought for an up coming ski trip. Is compatible with the go pro hero 8 and provided nearly 5 hours worth of memory space shooting in 4K. Will see how it holds up in the cold and adjust the review if needs be.

    Works in my newly acquired Nintendo switch
    Brought for the switch thinking it would be more than enough for games.
    What I hadn’t realised ( as I am still coming from the old school physical game era) is that almost all games nowadays is not really owned by you and can be pulled/subscription based at anytime , also your not getting the full game in many instances and have to purchase add ons if you want more of the game. So my Gigantic 256gb memory card is now down to about 32gb due to the business model of not having a physical card( granted it is convenient) but had I realised that there was so many games that would not have the card I would have looked at something like a 1tb memory card.

    The usual high standards from SanDisc which arrived promptly and on time. Whilst I have not as yet used this latest purchase, I have another of these in my phone which works flawlessly and is fast. So, expect this one to be similar.
    Generally, then, buy with confidence!

    Genuine SD card
    After hearing stories about fake cards being sold as genuine cards, I messaged Scandisk as soon as I received it and after them asking for some pictures of the card and answering a bunch of questions they confirmed it was genuine.
    It was a great price and works well in my Insta360x3
    Would definitely recommend

    Good storage card (as ever)
    Arrived quickly, and good price – amazing how these get cheaper and cheaper. Already have two for my Go Pro and picked this one up to give me a little more storage options when away on holiday.

    Great quality, fasts and handles high quality video from a Gro Pro Hero 10 with no issues. Comes with handy adapter although my card reader accepts micro SD so will be stuck in a drawer somewhere.

    Always excellent products.
    Have been using SanDisk products for years and have never had any issues. Bought two of these large capacity micro storage cards for our phones as we store lots of photos on them of family weddings, children and grandchildren etc. Very quick transfer over from our old cards and tons of spare capacity left to add more, job done. Not much else to say really, they work a treat.

    Perfect for my Nintendo Switch Oled.
    Purchased this SD card for my Nintendo Switch Oled and it performs like a dream. All the games run smoothly and I haven’t run into any problems. If you have a Switch I would recommend getting it. You won’t be disappointed.

    On the other hand, Amazon gave me a bit of anxiety with the delivery process. Says it was delivered through my letterbox and it wasn’t. Looked around my safespace areas, asked my neighbours if they received a package from amazon, and nothing.

    So I went on to customer service chat and they told me to wait until Saturday for the SD card to be delivered as it might turn up. Thank God the delivery was actually made later on in the evening by Amazon. They gave me a bit of a scare but other than that I’m happy.

    I’ve never experienced an issue like this with Amazon before but they should definitely look into keeping their delivery status more accurate as it can cause unnecessary stress and anxiety for the customer.

    Well packaged, fair price, same day delivery, comes with SD card adapter. Use these for my eufy indoor cams, no quibble from the camera, takes seconds to format for use.

    fast and reliable!
    I bought this micro SD card for my Nextbase dash cam as it needs a fast micro SD for 4k. It is a lot cheaper than Nextbase’s own cards so definitely worth the saving. The card is fast and reliable and I have had no issues with it so far. I would definitely recommend this card to anyone looking for a good quality micro SD card.
