Samsung EVO Select MicroSDHC vs Silicon Power 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

You'd actually expect that on USB 2. I switched over onto a USB 3 card reader and that was much more like it. Here's some results with sequential writ...

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

No complaints so far. Works the same as my other Samsung sdxc cards which I paid for even more ( for no apparent reason ). Overall, good affordable 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

2 GB) But enough about the switch, how does this memory card hold up? Pro: I accidentally put the wrong game into the memory card and forgot that I did this before I started to play it again. When I stopped playing I wanted to check my stored data and found that the game I was playing had the application data on the card. I never noticed a SINGLE issue, dropped frame, anything while the memory card held the data up. Maybe there was a few frames longer of loading, but I mean a few milliseconds and I could be wrong

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

If that missing 2GB is going to haunt you, you better get a size larger to avoid tragedy. Been going strong for over 5 months now.
