I've bought one just then, seeing this price (@ ~$30 mark) lastly appeared about 3 months ago.
Not the historical low, so please comment below if there's a better deal right now, and I might cancel my order if there's time.
CamelCamelCamel.
Are these good for dash cams?
If you use a dashcam, you should invest in a high-endurance card, which is made specifically for heavy use.
Go a Sandisk max endurance has 10x the read/write cycles of even a high endurance
Samsung Pro endurance and Sandisk max endurance are good choices with long warranties.
Sandisk High endurance is also an option. if you dont drive a lot, the later is a good option.
Yes, mine runs fine a year now. As good as any Endurance ones, which is a myth, imho.
Why do you think it's a myth? Endurance cards are literally made with different chips (MLC vs TLC) which suffer longer read/write cycles before failure, as well as being tested to a higher degree, and usually offered with a longer warranty.

I never saw it in official specs. One guy went deep to hardware trying to find difference, never got it. His theory was that endurance one just have bigger scratch space to replace bad blocks. Correction, he found that Sandisk Endurance uses TLC.
Btw, this one may be TLC as well.
Noticed Bing Lee eBay is down to $36 and for eBay Plus I have the option to apply a PLUS5BONUS coupon to make it $31.
Wonder if it's competing with that?
Would this be good for a Redmi Pad tablet?
why not?
I don't know why or why not. A comment above me highlighted that it would not be good to use a dashcam card which I wouldn't have known, so I thought it worth asking.
I was able price match with jb online and use the 10 dollar voucher, brought the 512gb for 52.43AUD with gift card
JB perks 10 dollar voucher expire today so it good timing, and I think 50 buck for 512sd is historical low price.
Shame on JB hifi for never sending me the 10 dollar voucher after I even contacted their customer services.
Referring to the saying again which is now my motto "If you can find it at JB hifi, you can find it cheaper somewhere else".
check your email there should be a $10 off $50 Minimum Spend sent last week or check this post https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/759974 for coupon
It is targeted unfortunately
Same :)
Jb hifi do price match for Amazon as well? I awlays thought they only do it for local store but not onlibe shops
matched online without issue
Yes, it is good for Nintendo Switch
Indeed. It's worth noting that even if you get a better model like the Samsung Pro Plus the read speeds are bottlenecked by the Nintendo Switch itself
Ordered. Thanks Op.
The price I bought 3 months ago was $29. And I had to wait for more than 1 month for the back order to be fulfilled.
Quite happy with this price.
been looking for a good deal on a 256 sd card for my Switch. thanks op!
My phone dosent take sd cards and im not a vlogger. Does everyone just use these as they would regular usb drives? Would these be more or less reliable than a usb drive?
In overclocked UHS-I card readers, like the Samsung reader that can do 120mb ~ 160mb per second, they do heat up to hand burning temperature for large (say 4gb) files.
As a usb drive, I'd recommend to use them in a slower reader that don't exceed standard UHS-1 speed for longevity.
Honestly can't stand writing to thumb drives/sd cards. Painfully slow after the initial full speed burst.
You can get 256gb nvmes for like $30 nowadays add another $10-20 for an enclusre and you have one hell of a usb drive. Not quite thumb sized but helluva lot faster.
Love you work! Using ozbargain for a second opinionš¤£
