"That way, I can get away with using much smaller microSD cards, which for some reason seem to be more reliable from what I've been reading."
"But the first one I used (full disclosure, not this brand) was well over a year ago, in multiple cameras, and I've never had an issue with either writing data to the cards or transferring photos to a computer."
"I was able to copy everything over from the old 128 to this new 256 (just copy the entire Nintendo folder from the old card), and my Switch found it and ran my downloaded games and updates without a problem."
"The SD card was giving me some problems as it is mainly used to backup my SP's memory but for some reason it kept telling me that there was a problem reading the SD card and it was giving me error messages so I decided to take all the photo's I had and move it to my OneDrive and then reformat the SD card and then moved back to my SD card and viola, it took care of that problem and I never received the error message again."
"For some reason, GoPro's are really picky about their memory cards, and seem to act a little wonky if they don't perform the format before recording."
"My wife is from the Philippines but we live here in Texas and so i've been to Philippines many times and i know that people there take great pride in their work ."

"I looked at a number of other brands of 256GB microSD cards over the past couple days and virtually every one of them has many reviews citing premature failure or DOA conditions... That way, I can get away with using much smaller microSD cards, which for some reason seem to be more reliable from what I've been reading. I should really send the 4 dead memory cards (PNY and Samsung) I currently have back to get replacements, but I'm not sure what good it would do."
"Like you get home after the first one, download all of your photos and make sure they are good, but then you have to format your cards for the next day?... But the first one I used (full disclosure, not this brand) was well over a year ago, in multiple cameras, and I've never had an issue with either writing data to the cards or transferring photos to a computer... I have other cards that I give to my second shooters, so they get plugged into a variety of cameras, and I've never had an issue."
"I was able to copy everything over from the old 128 to this new 256 (just copy the entire Nintendo folder from the old card), and my Switch found it and ran my downloaded games and updates without a problem... STEPS TO "UPGRADE" WITHOUT RE-DOWNLOADING YOUR GAMES/UPDATES (NOTE: Requires a computer with enough available storage to temporarily store the files and a SD/microSD Card reader): 1... I'd recommend hanging on to it and even occasionally updating it to avoid having to spend hours re-downloading your games should your card ever fail in the future (But it won't because, hey, this is a Samsung!"
"The SD card was giving me some problems as it is mainly used to backup my SP's memory but for some reason it kept telling me that there was a problem reading the SD card and it was giving me error messages so I decided to take all the photo's I had and move it to my OneDrive and then reformat the SD card and then moved back to my SD card and viola, it took care of that problem and I never received the error message again. If you're just using the SD card to house pic's and video's then you shouldn't have to worry about whether your device can read it at all times or not. I would suggest that you reformat the SD card with the device that you're using it for just so you can make sure it doesn't have any compatibility issues."
"Worth noting, is that both of these cards were tested in the same USB 3... For some reason, GoPro's are really picky about their memory cards, and seem to act a little wonky if they don't perform the format before recording... Though I'm not surprised, I've never put a card in that camera and had a problem."
"Everyday my phone was showing that i was running low on storage because my old memory card only had a few MB left on it so it was time to buy a new one . There's a'lot of people saying there's a'lot of fake chips being sold online but i can assure you this is the real deal ... My wife is from the Philippines but we live here in Texas and so i've been to Philippines many times and i know that people there take great pride in their work ."
"I have two other Samsung 64gb & 32gb micro sd cards for my other phones and they were good and lightning fast... I used to,there are lots of the fake Samsung micro memory cards on the market which are unbelievable cheap but hiccup after a few weeks of use then die without any reason and be careful of those unname micro sd memory card too!... I understand that almost all of the micro memory cards must have lost a few gbs for some embedded set up programs but not volatile a huge almost ten gigabytes like this card."

"So, you have a ton of music stored on your Pi without actually using any of the USB ports on the Pi... I purchased the first two Samsung 256GB microSDs to replace two PNY 256GB microSD cards which had failed after about 4 months of use... I looked at a number of other brands of 256GB microSD cards over the past couple days and virtually every one of them has many reviews citing premature failure or DOA conditions... Because of all this, I'm left scratching my head wondering if there are any 256GB microSD cards that are trustworthy... That way, I can get away with using much smaller microSD cards, which for some reason seem to be more reliable from what I've been reading. I should really send the 4 dead memory cards (PNY and Samsung) I currently have back to get replacements, but I'm not sure what good it would do... You may be luckier than I was, but I wouldn't put anything important on any of these large cards."
"Like you get home after the first one, download all of your photos and make sure they are good, but then you have to format your cards for the next day?... Case in point, these Samsung cards, which at the time of this writing are less than $10 for 32gb... These things are so inexpensive that they you could almost buy them to hand out to trick or treaters on Halloween!... But the first one I used (full disclosure, not this brand) was well over a year ago, in multiple cameras, and I've never had an issue with either writing data to the cards or transferring photos to a computer. Maybe I'll never use the cards without the adapters, but I have the option if it comes up... The write speed is fast enough that there's barely any lag between taking the photo and being able to preview it. I have other cards that I give to my second shooters, so they get plugged into a variety of cameras, and I've never had an issue."
"* I bought this to replace a 128GB SanDisk card that I'd filled up in my Switch. I was able to copy everything over from the old 128 to this new 256 (just copy the entire Nintendo folder from the old card), and my Switch found it and ran my downloaded games and updates without a problem... STEPS TO "UPGRADE" WITHOUT RE-DOWNLOADING YOUR GAMES/UPDATES (NOTE: Requires a computer with enough available storage to temporarily store the files and a SD/microSD Card reader): 1... Eject the old/smaller microSD card via the OS (Do this every time to avoid data corruption), remove it, and insert the new/bigger microSD card into the computer... If you are doing this on Windows, you will be asked by File Explorer if you want to keep or overwrite three existing files (8000000000000000, 8000000000000124, and private) on the new/bigger microSD card. You MUST OVERWRITE THESE FILES WITH THE BACKED UP FILES FOR THIS PROCESS TO WORK!... I'd recommend hanging on to it and even occasionally updating it to avoid having to spend hours re-downloading your games should your card ever fail in the future (But it won't because, hey, this is a Samsung!"
"I had a 256GB SD card prior to this one but it's memory is completely full and I had to find another one. The read and write speeds are quick and they don't require that you reformat your SD card before using it. All you have to do is plug it into any computer/laptop/tablet and it will work right away with no problems... I also bought a case to house all my SD cards bc I have a lot of them... The SD card was giving me some problems as it is mainly used to backup my SP's memory but for some reason it kept telling me that there was a problem reading the SD card and it was giving me error messages so I decided to take all the photo's I had and move it to my OneDrive and then reformat the SD card and then moved back to my SD card and viola, it took care of that problem and I never received the error message again. If you're just using the SD card to house pic's and video's then you shouldn't have to worry about whether your device can read it at all times or not. I would suggest that you reformat the SD card with the device that you're using it for just so you can make sure it doesn't have any compatibility issues."
"* I bought the Samsung MicroSD EVO Select for my GoPro Hero 5 Black, despite not being on the approved list... I also have a Lexar 633X, which is supported, and that I've provided as a comparison for some read/write tests... As one can see, read speeds are near as makes no difference... Worth noting, is that both of these cards were tested in the same USB 3... As is almost always the case with a new card in a GoPro, an in-camera format is a must. For some reason, GoPro's are really picky about their memory cards, and seem to act a little wonky if they don't perform the format before recording... Though I'm not surprised, I've never put a card in that camera and had a problem."

There's a'lot of people saying there's a'lot of fake chips being sold online but i can assure you this is the real deal ... My wife put it in my phone and copied about 2,000 songs on it and it was really fast . All the things i've ever bought in the past that says made in Philippines has always been good products . My wife is from the Philippines but we live here in Texas and so i've been to Philippines many times and i know that people there take great pride in their work . Oh yeah it also comes with the Adapter and the price is good only around $37... It was even a cheaper price than Walmart for the same thing lol !!!!!"
"It's working flawlessly without any problems and the copy/paste rates were lightning fast that it almost reaches 95mbs. I have two other Samsung 64gb & 32gb micro sd cards for my other phones and they were good and lightning fast... I used to,there are lots of the fake Samsung micro memory cards on the market which are unbelievable cheap but hiccup after a few weeks of use then die without any reason and be careful of those unname micro sd memory card too!... It's not like the advertisement said and that's why I took off one star. This is a Samsung 128gb but when install to the phone or on the pc it's only 119gb... I re-formatted the cards several times and delete the little notepad like files but none of these methods help. I understand that almost all of the micro memory cards must have lost a few gbs for some embedded set up programs but not volatile a huge almost ten gigabytes like this card."
