I believe this is the cheapest yet on OzB for Aussie stock, surpassing this PC Byte deal. Enjoy :)

woops just read the chart - it does fall quite behind..
From my experience over the years Sandisk has been very unreliable for micro sd's.
I have had 5 of them fail and 1 Toshiba too, whereas my Samsung has had no problems. I hear Sony is also good for reliability but i haven't tried one yet.
Anyone have a good price on a 64GB evo+ or the Sony equivalent?
There was a Samsung EVO+ 64GB deal posted just couple of days but it got ozbargained pretty quickly. It was $30 bucks, I think.
Really Damn! I can't believe i missed it :(
Yup! I can't remember who posted it here but the 64 GB one was the first to be out of stock. I bought one just about 2 days before that for $39 bucks. My luck!
Shopping Square? looking at one now same price plus $4 shipping, think I'll pass, my 32gb is still ok for now
@WinBargin: Nah! It was actually from this same store, Shopping Express, and 64GB Evo+ was actually $31. Here is the link on new year's eve, with free delivery: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/228321
@WinBargin: You're not alone, bruh. Unlike what your nick suggests, you don't always win bargain. Every now and then you lose. haha
Australia Post had SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSD card for $29.99 from Monday and I bought from that deal. And just 2 days after that here we're Samsung EVO 64GB MicroSD for $25.95. It was like last week's deal of Samsung Evo+ 64GB deal that I missed just couple of days. These deals and I are like a mouse and a cat. No matter how hard I try to score one I am always a day or two ahead right before a deal is posted. :x
tell me about it, although i wouldn't trust the Sandisk still a good deal
I know. I bought it for a dash-cam I bought from the last eBay deal. It has a 32GB generic one that comes with it so I thought a SanDisk 64GB might be a little better.
Yep for uses like that NP buying one
Apparently some dash cams don't recommend using Sandisk cards.
@edfoo: Really? Do you know some of their names, the popular ones that don't recommend Sandisk? I bought Street Gaurdian SG9665GC and I think I've read it somewhere someone saying they used one and it worked fine. Well, I haven't installed the cam yet (thinking to hard-wire it) so I'll see how it goes when I do.
@AussieDaddy: It has been discussed by a few people in Whirlpool forum and Dashcamtalk forum. Interesting you said you bought the Street Guardian SG9665GC because one of the people who mentioned Sandisk cards are not recommended in dash cams is none other than Street Guardian creator, he is known as jokiin in these forum.
@edfoo: Hmm! I was actually reading one of his posts on Dashcamtalk site early today and I think it was there I saw someone mentioning SanDisk 64GB (or maybe I am mixing it up with what I read on some other forum). Any chance you might link that post here if you can remember what it's called?
If it turns out that I can't use it for that dash-cam then it came with an adopter so I might use it as a backup memory card for my Nikon D3300. SanDisk 64GB MicroSD card, 80MB/s for $29.99 isn't a loss actually. Thanks anyway, edfoo.
Edit:
Here, jokiin & Pier28 confirm that 64GB card can be used for that dash-cam as long as it's SDXC (not SDHC) and formatted in the cam itself. The one that it doesn't support is the 128GB.
https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/has-anyone-tried-a-64g…
@AussieDaddy: SDHC cards are from 4GB up to 32GB, SDXC cards are from 64GB upwards. I think jokiin is just saying the SG9665GC only supports micro SD cards up to 64GB in size.
The post that I can recall jokiin was from a year or two ago, I think he generally recommends other brands such as Samsung to be used in dash cam instead of Sandisk. Mind you I have read many other users have used Sandisk cards without problem.
Refund the AP one?
Well, if I bought it for my Samsung phone then I would have considered that (more like not have bought a Sandisk for that in the first place) but I got it for a dash-cam and it's 80MB/s one so instead of returning it for $4 bucks (plus I bought it from a store in another part of my city, as I was there for work that day) and wait for another one delivered for days I am better off keeping it and take my chances.
guys there has been a massive ramp up in 3D-Nand production in asia used to build these microSD and SD cards. Expect 128GB costing $30 bucks very soon.
how soon
and where is the source link?
Anyone used samsung or this specific cards in gopros? I got a gopro hero+lcd, first timer, but they recommend using sandisks.
mine came yesterday (11/01)

It's slower than the Sandisk Ultra 80MB/s from AP and [OW] in these tests but faster in writing using H2testw :/
