Hi again everyone. As stated previously, here's the 3rd installment of great offers from PC Byte. The one you all asked for… the highly demanded SanDisk 128GB MicroSD at the crazy price of $78 delivered. Took a lot of convincing, but I finally got Francesca to budge. Look around and you won't find it anywhere for anything less than $110 (including Amazon). MSY sells it for $114 without delivery. This is a genuine bargain, and includes an SD adapter.

Please let me make it perfectly clear from the outset that at no time have I asked, been offered, or received any 'kick backs' to post these deals. I'm the one that approached Francesca, not the other way around. And I will unashamedly continue to do so (even with other reps) so I can secure more great deals for the community. As most of you (and more importantly the mods) know, I am totally open and transparent. I didn't have to declare this, but I feel better for doing it.

Limited to 1 per person for fairness. Francesca should be around to answer questions. Have a great night and I hope you enjoy this deal :)

Please follow instructions carefully. No need to register to buy:

    Does this work with macbook air (with a sd adapter)?

      from Apple —
      Which SD card formats work in the SD card slot?

      Cards that conform to the SD 1.x, 2.x, and 3.x standards should work. The SD card slot can use cards that are Standard SD (Secure Digital) 4 MB to 2 GB, SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) 4 GB to 32 GB, and SDXC (Secure Digital Extended Capacity) 4G B to 2 TB. MMC can also be used in this slot. MiniSD, MicroSD, and higher density formats like MiniSDHC and MicroSDHC can also work with the use of "passive" adapters

      Thais is a SDXC so should be fine with an adaptor - the card does poke out the computer though (I am sure it does on my sons), so prob not for permanently plugged in.

    • Alphaeus on 24/06/2015 - 20:28

      This support page says there is support for SDXC formats up to 2TB and for passive adapters to micro card sizes

      https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204384

      Keep in mind that provided adapter will probably not sit flush with the macbook chassis. You can get shorter ones (e.g. http://www.adafruit.com/products/1569 ) that will sit flush and are relatively "set and forget".

    • [Deactivated] on 24/06/2015 - 21:53

        Ultra series are their budget products. Above that you get Extreme and Extreme Pro.

      Almost stopped me from buying due to the low write speeds. The Tab S can do up to 25mb/sec writes. But I guess for movies and games the read of 47mb is good enough. Pulled the trigger, thanks TA for unclenching !

      • bchliu on 24/06/2015 - 22:03
        +1

        The writes on this card are actually pretty decent. Dont be fooled by the small numbers - those are writing 4k files. A large block write is around 15MB/Sec is not too bad. You cant get "Extreme" or "Extreme Pro" speeds in the 128GB anyway, so this is about the best you can get for 128GB.

    • silent1 on 24/06/2015 - 21:05
      +2

      Look around and you won't find it anywhere for anything less than $110 (including Amazon).

      The Lexar is almost double the speed for around $105. Also comes with a USB3.0 microSD reader.

      • mmcs on 24/06/2015 - 21:52

        the lexar is $100 shipped. Not a bad price with twice the speed.

    • TRANCE on 24/06/2015 - 23:06

      The Lexar 633x 128gb is a better option if you need speed performance.

      Put this microSD card in a SD card adaptor and use it in your DSLR.

      • [Deactivated] on 24/06/2015 - 23:21

        It's very slow, might not be very good if he shoots video, maybe get a faster one in Full SD Card size then Micro SD.

        • edfoo on 24/06/2015 - 23:22

          Are you telling me the full size SD Sandisk Ultra writes faster than the micro SD Ultra?

        • [Deactivated] on 24/06/2015 - 23:29

          @edfoo: Not in particularl "SanDisk Ultra" line, but there are other brands that offer 128GB capacities at UHS-I rather than Class 10 speeds, but in Full SD form factor. Not sure of the price though and at what resolutions he is shooting with his DSLR and how much write speed it needs to take video or burst shots.

        • edfoo on 24/06/2015 - 23:35

          @The Land of Smeg: Well I was just suggesting to Demarco if he already got this 128Gb Ultra card, might as well use it in a SD card adaptor, rather than buying another new card. He may only want to shoot single shot photos or low bit-rate HD video, so the Ultra can handle the speed.

        • [Deactivated] on 25/06/2015 - 00:13

          @edfoo: Yeah for sure it might fit, just pointing out that he should double check that this card is suitable for how he uses the DSLR. The write speed is not particularly fast compared to other SD cards even though the storage is top notch. It's a tradeoff.

      According to GoPro - 4K recording requires about 60Mbit/sec
      http://gopro.com/support/articles/hero4-black-recording-time…

      This card writes up to 15 MB (Megabyte)/Sec or 120Mbit/sec for large files/writes.

      I can record 4k recording on my Samsung Note 4 with my 128GB Sandisk just fine without jitter - same bandwidths.

      • edfoo on 24/06/2015 - 23:21

        What is the Mbit/sec for the 4k video recorded by Samsung Note 4? Same as GoPro 4 Black's 60Mbit/sec or slower? Because I read quite a few users' experience that the Sandisk Ultra and Samsung EVO fail to record properly at that high video bit rate.

      Lots of the cheaper, lower-spec models (tablets too) don't accept cards with capacities above 32GB. Others, 64GB.
      You do need to check.
