What's the guy gotta do for an upvote!?
Careful, mods have removed my comment and warned me for a similar remark in the past on a deal posted by someone else for 'soliciting votes'.
Yep.
I've been smacked a ton of times for it, regardless of how careful I chose my wording - and having zero connection to the deal. Maybe better as a forum topic… People over the moon for a deal, but won't even throw a kudos vote@Ulysses31: looks like lots of people have given the poster a kudos vote, not sure why anyone should give someone in the comments begging one though, makes sense they'd get a warning.
Real-world WRITE-speed is slightly-faster than Samsung-PRO+2023, https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/16452565/redir.
Paid & bias reviews are everywhere…lower your expectation?
You need a capable reader to reach the advertised speed
If your phone is using that processor and has emmc storage, I doubt it has one that is capable
Just to add to this most devices aren't going to see the advertised speed, its not a matter of the processor being capable or the storage type, the vast majority of devices straight up don't support the advertised speeds for Samsung or Sandisk. You can expect it to cap at like 80-100 MB/s for most devices, you can buy a $5000+ Sony/Canon camera that can write 300MB/s with proper UHS-II V90 cards and 800MB/s+ with CFexpress cards and they'll still get bottlenecked at ~100MB/s with these cards.
Lol…update: Caveat are everywhere, the devil is in the details & likely that your real-world experience fall-short of Samsung's claim…use, hardware & software dependent. False advertising?
Apparently, user need a 'Samsung’s proprietary card readers, which use DDR200 mode to bypass UHS-I’s 104MB/s theoretical limit', buried some where here, https://semiconductor.samsung.com/us/consumer-storage/memory…
@ab c: Yup I hate the way these cards are advertised because most people are never going to see the advertised speeds or even see the difference between lower tier cards e.g. people buying PRO Plus/Extreme PRO instead of EVO.
Candid reviews should be referencing real-world-experience & state the criteria if there's any caveat.
It shouldn't take a lot of time researching any product, if manufacturers are candid & truthful.
'Transfer speed up to 160MB/s'…really, https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/samsung-1tb-micro-sdxc-evo-pl…
It literally lists all the standards it supports, on the packaging and on the card itself.
"Up to" means its the maximum. You haven't disproven their claim by using it in a situation where it is so heavily bottlenecked by the reader, that you are getting ~16MB/s
@ab c: I don't have one. But it's pretty obvious to me that you aren't using a capable reader if you are getting ~16MB/s
@ab c: I have the 512GB and get close to 160MB/s. In saying that I think this one is an older version and only does 130MB/s. This link seems to be the new one that does 160MB/s https://amzn.asia/d/gbG53xv
You need to use an upgraded UHS-I reader or UHS-II card reader. I am using Ugreen UHS-I reader and Lenovo card reader that is advertised to do 170MB/s transfer.
@zealmax: UHS-II alone isn't good enough despite support for speeds well in excess of these cards, you need a reader that specifically supports these protocols.
@zealmax: Thank you ALL for the details, I'll need to spend even more time & read even wider the next time I buy an IT-gadget for $30(128Gb)…hint & lol.
@ab c: I have this one. It is on special at the moment. It can read write to 2 memory cards simultaneously too. https://amzn.asia/d/1SuFv2v
Thats not bad.
I can stop OGGing all my FLACs before putting them on my phone.
I got a 1TB MicroSD more than a year ago, and pretty much only have FLACs on it, in my phone :-)
Instead of OGG, I'd suggest to you, to check out Opus.
It's damn good compression.
Phones take MicroSD cards??? cries in Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
You can buy USB C OTG (very small size). Just put the MicroSD card inside the OTG and put the OTG to your phone's USB C when you need it.
Just gotta make better purchasing decisions, and don't support bad OEM decisions
I use opus on the PC.
On the phone its not a hardware accelerated codec so it smashes my battery life.Otherwise yes, opus is brilliant.
On the phone its not a hardware accelerated codec so it smashes my battery life.
I didn't know that Opus needed hardware acceleration, but that is a very good point.
$101 with price beat.
Too bad switch 2 needs express
Yes this will work in Switch.
No this will not work with Switch 2.
It will work with Switch 2, but you won't be able to install Switch 2 games on it.
Why not?
Switch 2 needs microSD express
This read speed is 1342 mbps, while the microSD express standard is only 880 mbps
Wish samsung to bring back sd card slot to flagship mobiles
One of the reasons, why I've been getting Xiaomi phones.
Fact - 20 years ago, a 1GB SD card was around this price.
Fact - 20 years ago, you could buy a house in Perth for the price of a Sydney parking spot today.
No. 20 years ago 1gb was about $300-$500
2007 I got a 2gb memory stick for 65 dollars in Kmart…
Re-adding my previous comment because you made the same mistake I did…
USB and SD card prices were very different.
If talking USB sticks, based on the US Library of congress, a 1GB USB in 2005 was around $56 USD.
The average AUD to USD rate in 2005 was 0.76 based on this data, so 1 USD was 1.32 (1/0.76).
56*1.32=$73.92That being said, SD cards were significantly more expensive than USB memory sticks in 2005 from what I can find.
@NobalaKoba: This is from MSY's pricelist from Sept 2005 using the wayback machine.
128MB / 256MB / 512MB / 1G (SD) Secure Digital Card
$25 / 35 / 55 / 90
@cheapbloke: I stand corrected.
My source for the SD price being higher was this article stating it had an MSRP of $500 USD in 2004. Can't find an archive of the sandisk press release though.
@NobalaKoba: It could be the case. When the AUD was very high MSY was often significantly cheaper than retail (possibly grey import?).
IIRC the 1GB card then was made by IBM and was a compact flash sized hard disk, it wasn't solid state.
No it wasn't. The 1GB SD card was bought specifically for a Canon IXUS 40 digital camera. Even CF flash cards which were still popular then don't have spinning disks.
@cheapbloke: There were spinning disks with a CF format. It was even used for the iPod Mini. Most was solid state though.
@cheapbloke: it came out earlier than I thought it did - the very end of '98 not 2005, but the CF flash cards at the time I was thinking of didn't have anywhere near the capacity of the IBM Microdrive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microdrive
The Microdrive was a big deal for those of us into 'wearable computing' aka 486/586 singebloard/PC-104 computers the size of walkmans with chunky battery cases, weird chording keyboards and awkward displays.
I remember paying about $60 for 128MB at MSY in 2004.
SSD is cheaper still…
I did a quick stop-over in Japan 2001. 128MB compact flash was available. That was surprising for me. $147 was a no-brainer.
Steam Deck lads, lets gooo!!
Thankyou OP I will finally have space on my Steam Deck
It'll be a lot slower than doing an SSD upgrade.
I've done that too
It's much faster, my SSD upgrade took 30 minutes, the SD card upgrade took less than 2 to put it in and format it.
The read/write speed, not the length to install.
@NobalaKoba: Sure, but not hugely impactful unless you're running a game that doesn't run well anyway like Cyberpunk and even so, it's typically just loading screen times that are slowed down. I stream most of these games from my PC to the deck anyway, so the SD card is mint for all my emulation and smaller sub 30GB games
Haha. Well played.
Scam
I'll get rid of that
Wow good deals
Dang, literally spent $114 on one last week for me steam deck
$129 last weekend because Good Guys screwed me over and I needed to play Red Dead on holidays.
I have not played any Red Dead on holidays.
$109 last week. Please hand over your ozb badges!
Still chilling with a phone with SD card. Why make it hard for yourself.
SD is slow while some people upgrade to SSD on Pi.
Is this optimal for 4k recording on a phone?
Thanks got another for my steam deck. Seems easy to swap in and out
hi is it good for external hard drive? my laptop has a sd card slot. Should I buy this or external hardish (ssd type)? Mainly for back up file. Thanks for your advice.
Don't use this to back up important stuff.
Thanks. Any reason why?
Higher chance of failure.
This is the best price I have seen on this. Don't need one atm, but a great find.
Though, probably should buy one anyway, and load it up with movies for the inevitable hospital stay, lol.
This is the OzBargain way.
I feel like I need one now but feel like the 512GB is better value.
How much is the 512GB?
I got 3 for about $80 on Amazon last year.
@bcYield: Can you link me to that past deal? Keen to see how I missed out on a $27 512GB Evo Plus Gen2!!!
WTH I just bought this from Goodguys for $107 with shipping last week. It’s still unopened.
Dashcam?
nope, you'll need endurance type card.
been using a regular v30 sd card for years (2 way 4k recording) and never had an issue.
For how long are we gonna keep falling for marketing crap?"endurance" Lol
Had to pay extra $5 for shipping, no stores near me c&C
