    Cards include security feature for protection of copyrighted data
    SD cards are fully compatible with all SD-compliant devices
    Speed performance rating: Class 4 (based on SD 2.0 Specification)
    This is an aftermarket of generic part

    • Flyerone on 29/05/2020 - 08:41

      So does this mean I cannot use it on my phone and copy ripped music to it?
      What restrictions does the "security feature" apply?

      • eug on 29/05/2020 - 09:10

        That's probably referring to the "S" in SD, which stands for Secure Digital.

        When SD was created in 1999, music DRM was still a thing. SD cards supported SDMI. I guess they still do, although nobody actually uses those features. You can do anything you want with it, just ignore that feature.

        • netsurfer on 29/05/2020 - 09:38

          He was referring those 4 bullet points near the top of the description. Just below the area where you choose the size and type.

          If this is indeed Sandisk original, why did Sandisk and Amazon put:

          • Speed performance rating: Class 4 (based on SD 2.0 Specification)
          • This is an aftermarket of generic part

          That's not what you want to put in your item description if you are selling genuine Sandisk.

          • zzymurgy on 29/05/2020 - 10:09

            @netsurfer: I thought the same, except the seller is Sandisk??

            • netsurfer on 29/05/2020 - 11:04

              @zzymurgy: Interestingly, only the microSD ultra and extreme have that description. Extreme Pro doesn't.

              Anyway, just means it is best to test the card once received to be sure.

          • eug on 29/05/2020 - 11:09

            @netsurfer:

            He was referring those 4 bullet points near the top of the description.

            Yes, the first bullet point says "Cards include security feature for protection of copyrighted data". He asked what that security feature was. My post explained what it was.

            If this is indeed Sandisk original, why did Sandisk and Amazon put:

            Just a guess, but the card could have first been sold by a third-party seller who put that description in. Then later on when Amazon started stocking it, instead of creating a new product entry with the same product code, they just listed themselves as one of the many sellers. When they drop their price and become the cheapest seller, they will be listed as the default seller, with the wrong description.

            • netsurfer on 29/05/2020 - 11:33

              @eug: Sorry, replied to the wrong comment. Was trying to tell the guy that the first comment is more about other bullet points.
              A2 U3 is newer stock so probably less likely to be a fake, but to be safe, best to test it.

              Amazon should have copied the US version of the page:
              https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FCR3316

              Maybe Amazon AU wants to allow other AU sellers to sell aftermarket ones… :)

        You want A1 for a dashcam

        A1 refers to the Application Performance class, which relates to IOPS that can affect how fast apps run if you're storing apps on them. They're designed for use in phones. The A1 spec won't help a dashcam - you need a high-endurance card for that.

      Hey mate.. For Blackvue Dashcams, use either the standard one that came with it, or a Samsung Pro Endurance card.

      I've been using their Pro Endurance 128GB cards in both of my Blackvue cams for a few years, and have never had an issue.

      I actually clarified it with Blackvue directly, and they said that the Samsung Pro Endurance was the only SD card on the market that hadn't overheated their cams, when tested.

      All the best

          No problem at all mate, I'm happy to help.

              Sorry I forgot to mention that both my vehicles have the Magic Pro installed, and all of my recordings include parking footage.

              I've set mine to time lapse in parking mode, but if you wanted yours to record for 6 to 12 hours in parking mode, you'll probably get a day and a half footage on a 128GB card, and three days on a 256Gb card.

      • swagkage on 29/05/2020 - 15:18

        What size memory card are you using for the drone? If you record for the full 30 mins in 2.7k will it fill the 256gig? I'm still waiting for drone to arrive so I want to ensure I have adequate memory. TIA!

        • PCAviator on 03/06/2020 - 18:02

          Yes easily. I think you get around 3hrs on a 64gb card at 2.7k, you will easily have enough capacity with 256gb card, which should record 10-12 hours of footage, which is about 20 or more full flights on the mini.

          I just picked up a 64gb version of this card for my new mavic mini today. Didn't have enough $$ left after buying mini for a bigger memory card, but probably won't need it. Most mini flyers say 64gb is sufficient, unless you plan on hoarding footage on the card and doing nothing with it!

          • swagkage on 04/06/2020 - 16:15

            @PCAviator: Cheers for that info! The mini arrived yesterday, still waiting on the memory card to arrive. Bought it on the 29/05, just checked amazon and they still haven't shipped it yet :(

    • OZBholic on 29/05/2020 - 11:17

      Main advantage on the Extreme edition compare to Ultra is the read speed, upto 160MB/s(extreme) vs upto 98MB/s(ultra). Other than this everthing seems similar.

          Just be aware that the $75 card is a different card to this. If you are after space and not worried about speed you should be buying SanDisk Ultra or Samsung Evo or similar but if you want faster transfer and faster app load time Extreme might be a better choice.

            @OZBholic: Exactly this, i have the 'slower' Ultra in my oldish phone and its fine, but if I was getting a new phone/ mavic/ switch/ anything with high speed access then go extreme or equivalent U3

    • netsurfer on 29/05/2020 - 11:50
      +1

      Ultra is optimised only for sequential read, The sequential write isn't that great normally.
      Technically, you should be okay with 4K on the Ultra. 8K is unsafe (until you know the exact write speed). The 100MB/s is purely sequential read. For video recording, you need to know the write speed.

      Also, this Extreme is a newer type. U3 A2. There was an earlier version U1. I suspect Sandisk released the new version to better compete with Samsung Evo Plus series.

        True… those sneaky buggers! I should've added a "*" to the end of those figures.

        So basically not much point in paying ~$45 more for the Extreme Pro then?

        • OZBholic on 29/05/2020 - 12:15

          In my opinion, true. Both chips probably made in the same factory but Extreme ones are the binned version of the Extreme Pro which didn't quite get the 170MB/s read speed.

        • netsurfer on 29/05/2020 - 12:27

          Extreme, based on the customer feedback, the sequential write is more around 70MB/s.

          Extreme Pro is not really necessary for most people. If you really need fast portable storage, you might want to consider UHS-II cards, XQD cards, or CFast (assuming your devices support one of those).

          • OZBholic on 29/05/2020 - 12:47

            @netsurfer: You are right, i just did a benchmark of my 128GB Sandisk extreme and I got 73MB/s read and 57MB/s write. Not sure if its limited by my phone at all, am using a Samsung Galaxy s20.

              +1

              @OZBholic: You'll probably get around 90 (sequential read) / 70 (sequential write) if you connect the microSD card to a USB 3 card reader onto a PC. I wouldn't worry too much about sequential read/write on a mobile. The 4K random read/write is much much lower.

              Just try testing 8K video recording on your phone. If it works fine recording to the SD card, it is all good. Benchmark doesn't mean anything. I recall having a Class10 SD card a while back which cannot actually do 1080p recording whereas a class 4 Sandisk one had no issue.

              Phones and cameras don't get the same performance numbers out of microSDs as USB adapters for some reason.
              Those are pretty good numbers for a phone bench though.
              My "100/90" samsung microSD gets 65MB read, 38MB write.

      Is it worth buying the extreme pro if I want to use this card as an additional memory for Surface Book 2. I'd like to use it to store and load games.

      If you're installing apps and games to it, get the fastest you can afford. It's still going to be slooOoOOoow compared to your laptop's SSD though. Apps and games depend more on fast 4K random writes than sustained transfer rate which are the figures that are always quoted.

      From these benchmark results, the Sandisk Extreme 256GB A2 in this deal does 169MB/s read and 99.7MB/s write, but only 2.4MB/s random 4K write.

      The SSD in your Surface Book 2, according to Anandtech's tests, does 2,899MB/s read and 1,235MB/s write, and 99.21MBMB/s random 4K write. That 4K result is over 40x faster than the Sandisk card.

    Not sure you can use this if the phones capped at 256gig internally, or if you have 64 gig internally I'd have to go with the 128gig it would seem.

    My phone doesn't support 512gig so I can't get 256, if it's called at 512, otherwise it's either 128gig or 256gig built-in.

    • OZBholic on 30/05/2020 - 00:21

      Check the maximum external memory capacity supported for specific phone model. Each phone has different highest capacity support. Gsmarena.com might be able to help you find the highest capacity supported for your phone. Also capacity of microSD card support doesn't depend on the internal storage size of the phone. So technically a phone's internal capacity might be 32Gb but might be able to handle 512GB micro SD.

      • [Deactivated] on 30/05/2020 - 00:27

        But the phones performance on 32 gig internal (unless it's the cheaper version of 3 different versions the manufacturer made, otherwise)would be bottlenecked or suffer some performance loss.

        All I know is, what's added externally must comply with what's running internally.

        64 + 128, 256 now not attainable,
        128 + 128, 256 obtained but threshold reached.
        512 - 256, 256 achievable otherwise internally built in and not obtainable.

        Hope that's not the case, and I can shove anything in.

        It's so tempting to buy 😅

    I purchased from Amazon Au on the last 250gb SSD card deal that popped up.

    Used it in my switch.

    Seemed legit, than started having server issues.
    Then couldn’t update console.
    Then corrupt games.
    Failed downloads.

    Absolutely PITA during iso with 2 kids.

    No way am I buying another from a random seller on Amazon.
    “Sold my Amazon” my foot. Came up with a seller name when it was time for a refund / complaint

      Torell I understand your frustrations. I bought something from Amazon before where the item was never sent by the seller, but this is the issue with any third party seller on any marketplace including Amazon. However if things goes wrong most of time it is rectified by the marketplace. What can help you avoid such issue is read the seller`s feedback before buying (I obviously don't do it for that seller I had issue with). On the other hand items shipped and sold by Amazon can be deemed all genuine product and I have had no issues with products sold and shipped by Amazon (not to be confused with Shipped by Amazon and sold by ***).

        so there is

        shipped by third party as well as by amazon?

        and we just need to buy the one "sold by amazon" to get the genuine?

        • OZBholic on 03/06/2020 - 18:34

          Not necessarily, most third party seller will probably be sending authentic products. But stay away from seller who have bad/'not so good' reviews. Mine had 1 star and I should have checked before placing order. "Sold and shipped by Amazon" should all be genuine products.

    Just bought one for $55 using the coupon. Hopefully, it's not a counterfeit :/
