Samsung EVO Select MicroSDHC vs SanDisk Ultra microSD Card

I tested the old Samsung EVO microSDHC card(MB-MP32DA/AM) back in Oct 2014 and liked it. When I found this newer version (Samsung EVO Select UHS-1 32GB microSDHC ) on sale for a good price, I quickly grabbed another one. The Amazon product page for EVO Select claims "High-performance up to 80MB/s for full HD video recording". This implies its WRITE speed is up to 80MB/s, which would be fantastic for such a low cost card

0, 2.1 90MB/s, with the Lexar 1000x able to take advantage of UHS-II speed when using the bundled USB reader and leading the pack Fastest Sequential Write: Sandisk Extreme Pro, Samsung Pro+, Transcend Ultimate 633x Fastest Random Read: Kingston 90R/80W. Fastest Random Write: Samsung Pro+ Best overall: Samsung Pro+ and Sandisk Extreme Pro Other observations: Performance and price are not proportional when it comes to selecting a microSD card. Some of the worst performing cards in this review also happen to be the most expensive

Most cards have the UHS-I type (singe-row pins) of interface. UHS-II has an additional row for faster transfer speeds REAL WORLD PERFORMANCE & COMPARISON - The closest competitors to this EVO Select card are the SanDisk & Samsung's own Evo cards and they are priced pretty similarly - The only reason why I didn't go for the SanDisk card was the confusion about its U1 rating. Even though its listing & description indicates USH-1 , It does not contain the official SD Card associations standard "U1" logo (1 inside a U). I do not understand why it would claim to be UHS-1 card but not have its official mark - Samsung's own EVO range of cards have a 40Mb/s read and a higher write speed of 40 Mb/s than this EVO Select model

I was a little concerned about compatibility and reliability because a few years ago tried to save a buck by getting a tier 2 brand card that literally melted down. This time I took a chance with this non-Samsung card and cannot be more pleased. For one thing, the transfer from my old card to this one did not cause this to get hot. Considering that there was about 29GB involved that was my first indication that this is a well made card

I've purchased a couple at a time. By that I mean one or two over a single order, and likely a total of 10 over the last three months. All of a sudden, I've hit some oddball quantity limit via Amazon. I'm a Prime Member, and this is absolute BS! I can understand if I tried to buy 10 of them at once, but I'd have no need to do this

So it says here. You should cut along this edge All right, so let's do this. All Right, so there's our micro SD card and the adapter and you peel this...

vs other cards that are below 50mbs read. Best bang for the buck I think. Hope this helps.

That is a wopping 17gb!!!! That is not small potatoes folks!!! That is a significant amount of memory not present. In the past, I would give a company a pass under the logic of sometimes there is pre-installed software to get the memory card or hard drive to work with the computer and there is always a neat feature like password protection or automatic backup software. I can understand that if the card had pre-installed software, but what is the excuse for a memory card with 17gb missing!!!!! There should be some type of financial penalty for not receiving what I paid for!!!!! Because it appears to be the industry norm, if I received a card from another manufacturer or if SanDisk was to send me a new card, I suspect that it would still have memory missing. Buuuuuuutttt 17gb is unreasonable! I can understand 1 or 2 gb, but 17 gb!!!!! Last, but not least
