  • Would this be good for games on Steam Deck?

    • +1

      Yes, this is the best microSD card for the Steam Deck.

      • Thanks! Now just to toss up whether to go 256gb or 512gb…

        • Bigger the better.

  • What is the difference between pro plus and evo select other than the name and the colour? Specs look the same to me.

      The Pro Plus has a higher theoretical maximum speed if used with a proprietary Samsung card reader (160MB/s vs 130MB/s on 128GB+ EVO Select cards). Otherwise the read speeds will be limited to UHS-1 limits which maxes out at ~100MB/s. Write speed is about the same in a standard reader too, at about ~80MB/s. You can count on devices like the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, cameras etc to not take advantage of the proprietary Samsung/Sandisk protocols that advertise speeds above 100MB/s.

      Here's some tests I did the other day after I bought a Sandisk Extreme Pro microSD card the other day (advertised at 200MB/s read + 140MB/s write).

      Card reader: SanDisk Extreme Pro UHS-II SD Card USB Type-C Reader (SDDR-409-G46)

      MicroSD cards tested using supplied microSD > SD adapters. Have included V90 SD card tests to show that the card reader is not bottlenecking the cards.

      PC - File transfer test - 200GB transfer of 50MB photos from SSD to card via USB card reader
      2021 Samsung EVO Plus 256GB 42 minutes 50 seconds
      2021 Samsung PRO Plus 512GB 42 minutes 37 seconds
      2022 Sandisk Extreme Pro 256GB 42 minutes 56 seconds
      Prograde V90 256GB 16 minutes 52 seconds

      PC - Large file transfer - 100GB transfer of 20GB videos from SSD to card via USB card reader
      2021 Samsung EVO Plus 256GB 21 minutes 39 seconds
      2021 Samsung PRO Plus 512GB 21 minutes 39 seconds
      2022 Sandisk Extreme Pro 256GB 21 minutes 39 seconds
      Prograde V90 256GB 7 minutes 58 seconds

      Sony camera - continuous shooting test - take photos continuously until buffer is full and camera slows down
      2021 Samsung EVO Plus 256GB ~7 seconds
      2021 Samsung PRO Plus 512GB ~7 seconds
      2022 Sandisk Extreme Pro 256GB ~7 seconds
      Prograde V90 256GB ~8 seconds

      Sony camera - buffer clearing test - how long it takes for the cards to write to the microSD card (~129 photos in buffer)
      2021 Samsung EVO Plus 256GB 90 seconds
      2021 Samsung PRO Plus 512GB 89 seconds
      2022 Sandisk Extreme Pro 256GB 90 seconds
      Prograde V90 256GB 28 seconds

      There could be scenarios or devices out there that differ from the results I've seen.

      • Thanks for the info.

        To me it seems not worth it still to pay about double compared to the Evo in my use cases (tablet storage), unless someone can let me know how.

        Can get 128 Samsung evo for about $15 (using JB hi-fi perks) or $12 (using $5 coupon eBay plus)

  • Any good for dashcams or stick with the recommended Endurance Pro Plus?

    Cheers.

    • +1

      You answered your own question.

      Endurance cards. Thats the answer.

    • No, tried, didn't work in my Viofo and kept beeping and losing video. Bought Endurance card
