I bought this SD Card when It was offered very cheap so I bought it as a cheap alternative to the expensive on the Market. I am still using it after nearly two years and It still works fine for me to record all the 4K videos for my travel vlogs. Now they have increased the price because they have realised that their quality is good as well.
Great value for money. Great quality. Got it for my mothers phone & it’s perfect. It’s compatible with everything so far. Easy to use, just put it in & off you go. Stores high quality pics & videos easily & fits perfectly.
Do you have a steam deck, ROG ally or a legion go?
This is the expansion you need, simply put it’s A2 speed means transferring games between my other drives is so much faster than my old A1 card.
It’s been a few months and it’s going strong, I’ve tested a few games on it now and they all work as though they’re running on the internal storage (load times are not noticeably different).
I always buy these Samsung memory cards. They are very reliable. I’ve never had one go bad yet. Bought this one for a retro gaming handheld. Works perfectly. Great price too. Comes with a SD adapter card if you need it, but I use a USB 3 micro SD card reader in my PC.
Bought for dash came. Initially the dash cam failed to recognise it to even format it. So did the test and formatting on the computer and did a bit of read/write data etc then formatting it on the dash cam …. It works now.
I use this in my outdoor security camera. I don’t like to pay for the cloud storage so I used this to capture footage around my property.
I prefer to buy a trusted brand, and this is good value for money. No issues and its been in the camera outside all winter. Playback nice and quick no lag.
I use this 256GB chip in an adapter to increase the memory for a MacBook Air – it holds the micro-SD card in a special adapter that fits into the SD card slot on the right hand side of the MacBook.
It has the correct capacity – and formatted to MacOS in a minute. It came fully packaged in a tamper-proof pack.
Read/Write speeds are way above the V30 spec – I get 80-90 MB/sec for both.
I’m pleased with that performance. Durability will tell over time – that is why I bought a “big brand” chip even though there are “no name” generic options at half the price.
UPDATE – it works so well that I have got a second 512GB card and use it as additional memory in a MacBook using a special holder that fits it flush into the SD card slot. I can easily play 1080p videos from the SD card memory without a hitch. Using H.265 format I can even read and write 8K at 60 FPS from the Samsun card in the Mac’s SD slot.
If it fails inside 3 years I will be back to update my review – but for now I give this 5 stars.
Great product, Samsung 256GB SD card enabling you to stream more videos & TV Shows or download more apps. Comes with an adaptor too in case it doesn’t fit your device but I didn’t require it for mine which was the Samsung A54 tab lite. Would’ve been perfect if it came with the small pin to open up the SD port as that’s a bit of a kerfuffle.
The 256GB storage capacity is more than enough to store hours of 4K video footage and countless high-resolution photos. It provides plenty of storage without the worry of running out of storage during a flight. The card’s Class 10 and U3 speed ratings ensure that it can keep up with the Mini 3 Pro’s demanding recording needs, offering smooth and uninterrupted 4K video recording.

The problem is that the “free” adaptor cost money for sure – it needs to use the resources like any other device – this for sure make them little more expensive than it would be if not include the adaptor.
All the SD cards which I have been bought recently had an adaptor included, but most of them are left not used even once. Only one of the adaptor from my “collection” have been used for the purpose of the use of the SD card with my old Cannon camera but after I sold my old camera it is lying dormant. The production of the anything whatever small and simple costs money and perhaps even more importantly the resources and the energy, even if the CO emissions are minimal – altogether all those adapters which are not used by the most of the customers – they all are bad for the natural environment and because of this are not good for a human species too.
I actually need 1 or perhaps 2 adaptors to make a peace of the mind that I can read/use it when it may be necessary eg. If I will buy the vintage device than I may need the adaptor for it. Overall it is simply unnecessary for provide the adaptor with every single card and this is not about the this particular producer it is about the all producers who are providing the “free” adaptor which is in practice usualy the waste. Waste of money, time energy and resources. I am think that the SD card should be available as the alone product without any unnecessary parts – it should be optional and the software which is written for the purpose of the sale should have built in the option to choose from the only the SD card alone or with the adaptor, this way we can save the planet Earth if we’re going to think about the effects of any action all the time when we’re going to produce something.
