Seems to be working now.
Previously had a Sandisk, which couldn’t be formatted after a while. Ie considered broken down.
Quite disappointed.
So I decided to try another brand.
I know that Taiwan is a leader in computer tech inc memory devices, so I decided to try this brand.
OK so far.
Only had it about a week, so can’t say much more.
Considering the prices of micro SD cards (which may not always have adapter though I think they normally do) in places such as Asda and Wilko, this was great value. It worked perfectly when I put it into my computer (in the adapter provided), even though I wasn’t sure how to format it so didn’t do that.
I was trying to update a Sat Nav (cheap Chinese-made one) and I thankfully decided to back up the original Sat Nav files by copying them onto the micro SD card. It easily held all the files, which was great as the update for the Sat Nav was useless so I just transferred the files from the micro SD card back onto the Sat Nav and had a working Sat Nav again!
We keep more and more on our phones, so storage matters to keep it running smoothly.
6.39 for 128GB of memory is great value.
I have used Kingston Canvas SD cards before and they have worked well for me.
Was a bit dubious at first about the price and whether it was legit or not, but it is so worth it! We use it for our camera door bell, and cannot grumble at all. Brilliant value for money!
I got this for only 6, I ran the fake flash test on it and its came back clean, I am using it to store movies and audio books on my tab, it works perfectly and I can watch HD movies while i travel now
These are one of the cheapest but still acceptable micro-Sd cards out there…In my opinion they offer a GREAT value for money.
I have been using these cards for a while (over 1 year now since I bought the first one) with most of my devices, such as: dash board camera, 3d printer, Redmi Note 10 Pro phone, electronic microscope and even with my DJI-2 drone… I have never had any problems with them. So far so good!
Mine worked really well for the first 12 months, then failed. Luckily I had backups of the files.
Kingston were really good and replaced it within a week.
Just remember to keep back ups, you never know when you will need it.
Bought this to run in a Pi Zero W as had run out of memory cards and this would be with me the next day.
Tested its read/write integrity and passed with no problems. So far it is is doing its job running some pi signage.
Recommended.
The price of this card seems to fluctuate on Amazon. Bought 2 of these to use as extra storage space on a notebook. Works well but only 116GB usable. The adaptor is a welcome bonus.
Summary:
The Kingston Canvas Select Plus microSD Card is a reliable and efficient storage solution. It offers a good blend of speed, capacity, and compatibility, making it a great choice for a variety of devices. However, it does have a few minor drawbacks that might affect its overall performance.
Positive Points:
1. The 128GB storage capacity is impressive, providing ample space for storing high-resolution photos, videos, and other files.
2. The Class 10 speed rating ensures quick data transfer, which is a boon for those who frequently move large files.
3. The inclusion of an SD adapter is a thoughtful addition, enhancing the card’s versatility and compatibility with a wider range of devices.
4. The card’s durability is commendable. It can withstand harsh conditions, making it suitable for outdoor use.
5. The product offers good value for money, considering its features and performance.
Negative Points:
1. The actual available storage is slightly less than advertised, which can be disappointing for some users.
2. While the speed is generally good, it can occasionally lag, especially when transferring larger files.
3. The card may not be compatible with all devices, which can limit its usability.
4. There have been a few instances of data loss, which raises concerns about the product’s reliability.
SD CARDS such as these are useful for certain Internet set-top boxes with the SD CARD slot to insert these into. Once recognised by the Internet set-top box there will be a File Explorer or File Manager as well as other USB drive apps to test as well. I learned that some apps will create a database for images and contain these as hidden files and that also applies to apps on the set-top boxes and whatever USB drives get connected. So I installed Unseen Gallery and Hidden Files apps and discovered THOUSANDS of images as thumbnail versions of the original images accessed by various apps. We can save these and check duplicates as well as transfer these from set-top boxes to SD CARDS or USB flash drives such as the Sandisk Triple Packs of 32GB sized storage. Sorting out files could be easier if viewed on a PC instead.
Some great things can happen with files, images and videos we can copy or download. We can sometimes direct downloads to SD CARD 1 or sda alternatives. We can keep more storage file space on the main set-top box but over time we need to get files moved to external storage sometimes using the path route as storage/external_storage/ then sdcard1 or sda and so on. We could use a basic SD CARD ADAPTER to insert the card into then connect that adapter to some USB port or USB hub. Sometimes OK, and sometimes not as user-friendly after all. The regular backups take time but are faster if using a computer or its external drive to transfer or copy files to. It’s recommended that we COPY rather to MOVE as some MOVE actions don’t work. We could lose files forever that way even if using File Managers or File Explorers or various image editing apps.
So keep thinking about backing up and copy and keeping fewer files on the SD CARD itself and from then on it’s a matter of GOOD LUCK WITH THAT because MURPHY’S LAW is still alive and kicking and every time we switch off a set-top box it’s anyone’s guess if the SD CARD works from then on or we see folders and files corrupted, destroyed or missing. So who knows how the hidden files have survived? Perhaps these are the extra way to salvage thumbnail versions of the lost original images?
Who knows if a computer can access the SD CARD or needs a completely new installation file for that matter? To format or not to format may not be the right answer either way… Salvage what you can on the set-top boxes you’ve already got and maybe check Google for saving SD CARD files or USB drive files and any freebie that could help restore what you can see or not see…
The great thing about trawling Amazon for memory deals is that, in general, you’ll find *something* tasty if you invest a bit of time. I would *always* recommend avoiding the really scary cheapo brands – the ones with wonky company names that say something like “Doohickey SD 1Tb – 35”, or similar. I tend to sail with reliable brands such as SanDisk, Kingston, PNY, etc. And you can usually find one of them has a little discount going on if you look carefully.
So this time it was the Kingston, with their Canvas Select Plus. It’s very easy to get bogged down with tech specs, read/write speeds and the like. But the TL;DR short-form is – if you’re going for a card to store all your old photos, home videos, highly embarrassing band rehearsals from the early 90s (and you really COULD have made it big, if Nirvana hadn’t stolen your thunder), or like me, a flip ton of space for my lovely new phone to spread out and feel comfy – you really don’t need to worry about all the techy stuff at all.
You may wish to argue the point with me. That’s fine. All this is my own opinion anyway, but bleeding edge performance is for ultra demanding tasks – high res video editing, quick-succession high resolution camera images, etc, etc. Your phone is going to be more than happy with a nice SD card like the Kingston Canvas Select Plus. I’ve had mine for almost a month, and my phone is enjoying the extra 256Gb of room, beefing up the on-board 64Gb of storage.
Performance is excellent; my data is content and not corrupted at all, the data transfer is fast enough for me to not notice it, and all is quiet on the Western front. I am very happy with my purchase, and would heartily and confidently recommend them to family, friends, and all you lovely Amazonians looking for a jolly bargain.
It comes with the converter thing, which is handy if you need to swap from, say, a phone slot to a laptop slot. But this was of no use to me – everything I do is WiFi, cable, and The Tooth of Blue. So we leave the little SD in place to do it’s thang, possibly for the lifetime of me lovely sparkly new Moto.
And there you have it happy readers. A fine SD card with oodles of space for everything at a more than reasonable price. Enjoy!
