There are 2 models of microSD card in the PRO line on the website, the MB-MD512KA/APC is listed at $134.10 with read/write speeds listed at 160/120 MB/s, while the MB-MD512SA/APC with read/write speeds listed at 180/130 MB/s is listed at $36. Prices for all other sizes are the same between models so possibly an error.
Confirmation of student status done with a .edu.au email
I don't quite understand the difference and they don't show in the cart correctly compared to the more expensive model so if anyone can help me out there I would appreciate it. My order was honoured on July 27 and the price is still the same with stock available.

EDIT: The 512MB option has been removed from this model.

    Just ordered one via the Samsung Industry partner EPP. Lets hope it comes!

    • DDman7 on 03/08/2023 - 19:14

      Beat me to it. You got the last (and probably only) one.

      • basicerno on 03/08/2023 - 19:28

        It actually allowed me to add 2 but i thought i only need one!

  • easternculture on 03/08/2023 - 19:12

    $38 on westpac portal via bank app

    • Harsh Deep on 03/08/2023 - 22:31

      how do you access this portal thing ?? i can't find anything in the app

  • hollykryten on 03/08/2023 - 19:17

    It's $149 at TGG so it's probably a pricing error. Right?.

    https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/samsung-512gb-micro-sdxc-pro-…

    Apparently the RRP is $149.

    • Shad on 03/08/2023 - 19:36

      It's $49.99 on Amazon

        That's the EVO Plus, not the PRO Plus.

        • Shad on 03/08/2023 - 20:49

          My bad, you are right!

          • hollykryten on 03/08/2023 - 20:56

            @Shad: And also from some third party seller. And who knows if that stock is not counterfeit.

  • v1nn1e on 03/08/2023 - 19:19

    $32 via samsung industry partner, however it is out of stock

    How do you get a edu.au address?

    • hollykryten on 03/08/2023 - 19:26

      You probably have to be a student or a teacher. Hence why it's called Education Store.

      • Shad on 03/08/2023 - 19:32

        How to get without being one

          I don't think you can as edu.au email address is strictly reserved for education.

          • Guybrush57 on 03/08/2023 - 21:10

            @hollykryten: Are they even given out anymore? I've known uni and TAFE students that received zilch.

              @Guybrush57: Yeah i'm currently a TAFE student (through CQU) here in QLD and i was only given an address which is run through Gmail. It ends with @cqumail.com and not edu.au

              @sekhon147: Shout-out to UWA which had brilliantly cut the budget for supporting alumni service (with short notice as well) since 2018.

        • bigspike on 03/08/2023 - 21:48

          You put in a kids.

    • FDA2021 on 03/08/2023 - 21:09

      Easiest way would probably be applying for one of those fee-free TAFE courses. You'll get an edu.au email

      • hollykryten on 03/08/2023 - 21:12

        Well i'm currently doing a fee free TAFE course and all they gave me is an email address provided through Gmail.

        • lancesta on 04/08/2023 - 10:05

          It's always worth a try anyway to see if it works. Sometimes companies add other domain extensions. Could try support too as it won't be hard to show that they're a genuine educational facility

    What’s awesome, is when I buy my apple phone, that it costs me $400 to get the 512GB upgrading from the 256GB.

    Knowing that but the whole card retail, costs $30 lol

    • MauTauAja on 04/08/2023 - 09:18

      Thats why, buy Apple stock

    • lancesta on 04/08/2023 - 10:07

      To be fair, the internal storage is far quicker than an SD card. Regardless it is a total rip-off

      • hollykryten on 06/08/2023 - 14:11

        Even faster than say a SanDisk Extreme Pro 512GB micro SD?. Those can read up to 200MB/s and 140MB/s write

        • lancesta on 06/08/2023 - 22:59

          Wow tbh I didn't know they were that quick only just took notice of the capital B too.. that's great speeds. Makes it over a gigabit read and write, I'm super impressed.

          But yeah I had a look around for more info an it appears the 14 pro max for example has the following speeds:

          Read: 1600MB/s, Write: 1280MB/s

          Source:
          https://youtu.be/gyBRX40KFJk check at 01:52 for a better view.

          It's using NVMe so it is typically going to go faster. That said the performance upgrades on SD cards have me astounded. I almost can't believe you can buy a 1TB micro SD card, they're so tiny.

            @lancesta: For that price of a 14 Pro Max it ought to have the cream of the crop mobile flash storage performance. I mean you're paying an absolute fortune price for the internal storage.

            But for Android smartphones in general don't have NVMe for internal storage.

            Apparently the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra only has UFS internal storage. And according to this it reaches 1GB/s read.

            https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh…

            But this is the exception as it's a very expensive flagship phone. Cheap Android phones can't get any where near that sort of internal storage performance. Those would be slower than say that Sandisk Extreme Pro micro SD card.

      What’s awesome, is when I buy my apple phone, that it costs me $400 to get the 512GB upgrading from the 256GB.

      Not only that, you also get to re-buy that memory every few years, when you upgrade your phone.

      With a micro-SD, you just take it out of your old phone, and pop it into your new phone. All your files are instantly available, no "restore from cloud" required. Also easy to pop the card out and plug it directly into a PC for data backup purposes.

      And should your phone suffer total failure, like driving over it in a car, you can usually get the micro-SD card out and continue to use it.

      Can you even restore 512GB from Apple's cloud storage? Isn't that way more data than the free cloud storage Apple gives you?

        Exactly. The 5GB free was cool with my 16GB 3GS.. not so much with my 512gb iPhone 13 PM.
