Not ATL but a good enough price for me. Discounts increase with higher quantity? Long-term storage for just about anything these days.
CamelCamelCamel.
Strange, perhaps pricing error / limited price bait? 9% savings on 2 items still applies but makes this less of a deal IMO.
Good enuff for the Steam Deck?
These are really designed for dash cams and surveillance recording but I guess it would technically work on a steam deck.
Oh OK thanks.
For longtime Steam Deck 64gb users, which is more a preferable memory upgrade route, micro sd card or the eMMC way?
Less than a month ago, I got this at $36.56 from the same seller.
It’s also showing $51.29.
Interesting, perhaps they change the price if people start buying. That's unfortunate. Genuine / no issues with it?
Honestly I have not even put it to use along with a quite a few of the 128GB I had bought when they were well priced.
I’ve put one 128GB in a security cam and one in dash cam and both working fine for 2-3 months.
will this be good for Nintendo switch?
Yes
Yes as in it will technically work but a terrible choice in terms of value. You can buy an EVO card that will peform the same for half the price.

The ensurance cards are designed for dashcams/surveillance cameras that constantly write to the card hence the higher price. A Switch won't do that so you're paying extra money for nothing.
Wouldn't installing large games and then uninstalling and installing newer large games place a lot of write cycles to the card over an extended period of time. So therefore wouldn't the endurance card be a better choice for a gaming drive?. Just think about it. These drives are made to last unlike the cheaper SD cards.
Nope, we are talking constant years of constant writes 24/7 for a surveillance cam vs occasionally uninstalling and installing games - it doesn't even come close.
These are specialised cards and not even Sandisk/Samsung bother trying to market them for gaming applications.
@eecan: Well if you can get this Endurance SD card for a good price like this then why not. You not only get this but a high endurance rated card which will last for years. I don't see why not. It will work fine even for gaming.
@hollykryten: Simple, because you are paying for a feature you will never use.
It's like saying, why don't I buy a $3000 gaming laptop for Microsoft Word because why not. You will not only be able to write word documents but you will also get a high powered laptop that will last for years. It will even work fine for internet browsing.
@eecan: This was only $44.81, it wasn't costing an arm and a leg (not a premium price at the time). That's currently cheaper than the cheapest 256GB Micro SD card at Officeworks. So i said if it's was going for this cheap at the moment why not. Was paying cheap for what is normally a premium price product so was getting a bargain. That's what i meant.
Sure if it was like $80 or some thing it isn't worth it, but we're talking about only around $45 with what it was going for. That's cheap and at that price there was no reason not to get it even for gaming.
It was cheaper than even the Samsung Evo Plus 256GB SD card from Amazon. That product normally retails for around $50.

@hollykryten: The Samsung EVO Plus 256GB is $28, I linked to it earlier:

If you don't like the seller then you can go to Amazon UK for the EVO Select (rebranded Amazon version of the EVO Plus) for $31.53:

Sure, if the EVO did cost $50 then you could go for the Endurance if it was cheaper but it wasn't.
@eecan: I saw those, and i didn't mention it as it's probably counterfeit Samsung SD cards (price seems too low to be genuine). You have to be careful buying these cards from random marketplace sellers as there's a lot of counterfeits. Make sure it's from seller Amazon AU, Amazon US or Amazon UK itself to be sure of genuine.
@hollykryten: I already provided a link from Amazon UK.
This is not an unusual price for these cards, you must not be familiar with the market. The price for these cards regularly hits $28 or lower directly from Australian retailers.
