Had over 5 pages of PMs with Francesca to come up with this deal. She's one tough nut to crack. If I'm not mistaken, this is the cheapest it's ever been on OzB and a whole $23 cheaper than MSY. There are 500 pieces in stock and will be shipped immediately. Limited to 1 per person for fairness. Francesca will be around to take your questions. Good luck and have a great night :)

Argh, that will teach me to think I'm getting a good deal at a certain seller with ebays 20% off and paying a whopping $34 for the same item…

Is this class 10? Might use this on my go pro :)
- aim54x on 01/07/2015 - 21:49
  
  I have been using one on my Sony Action Cam AS100V with no issues….I can't see a problem with it in a GoPro…except maybe if you are using 4K recording

    4k recording on the GoPro even with the protune codec doesn't come close to filling the bandwidth these cards can write at.

    - edfoo on 02/07/2015 - 00:07
      
      A number of users have error trying to record 4K video on their GoPro 4 black with either Samsung EVO or Sandisk Ultra resulting with error due to slow writing speed despite what you think.
    - c0balt on 02/07/2015 - 00:11

      @edfoo:
      
      Despite what I think? Do you mean the raw numbers of the 6MB/s needed for 4k 30fps with protune vs the 48MB/s that this card can reach?
      
      Oh, please.
    - edfoo on 02/07/2015 - 00:14
      
      @c0balt: Yes please, go google on GoPro users experience.
      That's why GoPro recommends at least Sandisk Extreme or faster (or equivalent Samsung Pro) cards if you want to record 4K, more so with ProTune on.
      Users always recommend get the fastest cards you can for that purpose, never cheap out on memory cards.

      @edfoo:
      
      So the article and all but one comment say how great the Samsung cards are with the gopro 4k recording but one only a single person buried deep in the comments section says there's a problem with all cards (to which the author reply is check your camera, not your cards), and you go on to tell people that this card can cause problems?
      
      What is your problem dude?
      
      Stop giving horrible advice. Stop downvoting me for being correct. The fact is that this card works great for anything the GoPro can throw at it and you are being a petulant child for trying to posture the way you are.
    - edfoo on 02/07/2015 - 00:25
      
      @c0balt: My advice is good, best to get faster cards for fussy GoPro, especially you want 4K with ProTune.
      Go "enjoy" your 4K recording on GoPro with this EVO or Ultra card then, don't come back crying if you get error recording.
    - [Deactivated] on 02/07/2015 - 00:29
      
      @c0balt: Niggle: 8 bits to a byte. 60 Mb/s = 7.5 MB/s :)
    - c0balt on 02/07/2015 - 00:29
      
      @edfoo:
      
      Your 'advice' is that 6MB/s is more than 48MB/s and your source is a joke. You said a number of users are having a problem and you can't even find one real source. Infact your source has everyone but 1 person saying how great the Samsung cards are at 4k recording.
      
      Thanks for the laugh.
    - [Deactivated] on 02/07/2015 - 00:54
      
      @c0balt: Another niggle: the 48 MB/s is a supposed maximum read speed. Various online tests show this card has sequential write speeds around 12-23 MB/s.
      
      Then you've also got the camera's memory controller and buffer that can further impact sustainable write speeds.
      
      As for the people complaining about card compatibility with GoPros, with the amount of fake cards out there, who knows if they are actually trying genuine cards.
    - maxwellian on 02/07/2015 - 08:43

    - aim54x on 02/07/2015 - 10:20
      
      @dewy:
      
      There is a anecdotal evidence to suggest that GoPro's are fussy and demand faster cards than the Class 10. The math may work out in favour of the Samsung EVO but the official reccomendations ask for faster
      
      https://gopro.com/support/articles/software-update-release
- de22 on 02/07/2015 - 10:04
  
  It's better than class 10.
  Gopro would be fine.

Forgot to post benchmarks as there is always some interest in performance of these little orange treats

  You should use a bigger file than 50MB because some flash memory has a burst of speed in the first second or two before going to usual speeds.
  - digitalaxon on 02/07/2015 - 10:38
    
    Good Point —- Guess in my rush I usually choose the smallest write size to get the test over and done with …
    
    Next time I'll make the test file size a tad bigger just to be on the safe side.

Hi guys. Just had a good chat with Francesca. She still has no idea what is causing the sluggishness of her site. Apparently, they had a server upgrade over the weekend which may or may not be the issue. They don't want to do a reboot just yet as the system may not recover and she doesn't want to risk losing any orders, which are clearly getting through, but at a reduced rate. Please keep trying, especially as the traffic slowly dies down. Also, I made her promise another great deal some time next week as a small way of making up for tonight. All the best :)

  my work around to get mine working (or is it the server is slowly recovering hence faster-I don't know), Worth a try if any one still interested.
  
  create an account first if you haven't had an account with them (didn't want to do that at first but it hangs after i entered my address at checkout so i better off create an account first so my address just got populated to reduce chance of it hangs due to address issue)
  
  if the circle sign keeps spinning click refresh, it seems to reload a tat faster or at least load page properly that enable you to click on "check out" to take you to payment option page. keep click refresh the page if it takes too long to load/proceed
  
  once you done your paypal payment it goes smooth from there
