I purchased a 64GB Samsung Pro+ just a few days ago in the Harvey Norman sale, feeling like I should have held out a bit longer too.
These 256GB microSD cards are still not good value yet. 128GB is better at under $60 in recent deals.
What phone has 2 micro sd card slots?
Carry two phones then :p
Pretty sure its still cheaper to buy this than a 128gb along with a new phone.
@Orpheus: Or you can live on 128GB for now (should be enough for most people), wait till 256GB is that price and buy it then, and you'll end up with 384GB on 2 cards for the $120.
U3 on a phone people film 4k on a phone?
Would such a waistsuch a waist
Blame it on all the Domino's and Hungry Jack posts.
What about load times when browsing phones via PC?
I upgraded to U3 from C10 for this reason.@lostn:
Even on USB2.0 you can still get a sustained real-world transfer speed of 30MB/s. Class 10 can only sustain 10MB/s.@Viper8: 10MB/s is the minimum spec for class 10. A lot of class 10 cards can write faster than that. USB2.0 can theoretically support up to 60MB/s transfer speeds. Some U3 cards like this one would be bottlenecked by USB2.0.
Though the phone's card reader can also be a bottleneck, even if it's USB 3.0.
@Viper8: Samsung isn't claiming their 95/90 is a 'sustained minimum'. But it is sustaining more than the 60MB/s when I transfer to it, provided it's not random writes.
This is also a C10 card btw. C10 doesn't mean anything these days.
Only ~20MB/s max write speed on the 128 though while this tops out at 90, so better for an expansion for laptop/tablet storage (e.g. Surface…).
The newer revision of 128GB Evo+ is the same speed as this. 95/90 or something.
Yes, but that's more like 75-80$. So, the 256Gb is a similar value if you compare the newer ones.
At 60$ as mentioned by edfoo, that'd be the old one which is only certified U1 I believe.@Romain: Weird. You necroed an old thread. I was not replying to edfoo. donnot said this card from Telstra has 20MB write speed. I was just correcting him. This should have "up to" 90MB write speed.
Reckon they will have these instore?
Sweet this should go well with my gpd win
Does it meet the requirements for adoptable storage? I was bummed when my current 200gb one didn't (I bought it before adoptable storage was a thing)
Edit: adoptable storage tests cards for random speed, not sequential
Perfect for a surface pro! Current 200gb SanDisk is ridiculously slow
y'all remember 10 years ago when we all thought 256mb on a micro sd was a big deal? haha
10 years later it will be 256TB on a micro SD card
Bitch, I was rockin' a 2gb Memory Stick Duo in my PSP in 2007.
I mean, it RRP'd for 85 bucks at the time, but still.
custom firmware and 4gb memory stick here, homebrew and iso downloads were just the best
Mine cost $200
256MB on a MicroSD? I remember buying a massive 256MB Compact Flash card. For AUD$250. To go in my $1k two megapixel digital camera.
Not 10 years ago. Would have to be much longer than that.
My first memory card was a 2GB MS Pro Duo for the PSP, which would have been 2004. That cost me about $200 or more.
micro sd bro, not memory stick pro duo. there were 2gb miro sd cards then but they were insanely expensive
Bro, if there were 2GB MicroSD cards back then, then 256MB was not a "big deal" in 2007 irrespective of price. This is 1/8th of the size of a 2GB card.
Plus, PSP dropped in Australia in Q3 2005. Not saying you didn't import one, but even if you did, the earliest release was December 2004, so still unlikely.
I paid around 200 for the PSP itself in 2007, Memory Cards were still (profanity) ridiculously priced. Sony managed to (profanity) it up even worse somehow with the Vita cards.

I imported it from Japan (premium white model) which came with the annoying problem of O = confirm, X = cancel. And it was 2004. I needed firmware 1.5 for the iso launcher, which was one of the earliest models released. Firmware 2.0 was not hackable for homebrew (at the time). Had to pay extra for 1.5, though in hindsight more hacks appeared. The PSP was about $380-ish.
2GB was the card I got with it, for around $200+. It needed to be 2GB to guarantee you could fit a PSP iso on it. In 2006 I got a 4GB card, for about $150. I found out Sandisk cards were much faster than Sony's. I think a year after that I got an 8GB card for about $110 locally. Then a year after that I got a 16GB card for about $70. The prices kept going down and capacities kept doubling. 256MB was not a 'big deal' even in 2004, let alone 2007.
The Vita cards are much cheaper per GB than MSPD ever was, though that is because of time. It's still way more expensive than MicroSD though, but that is an established standard, while Vita cards are proprietary. Proprietary stuff never has economies of scale, so are always more expensive. It's how Sony makes back money. All consoles are sold cheap, but accessories are expensive to make back some money they don't make on the hardware. Similar to games when they go on sale but DLC doesn't seem to go on sale. They make their real money on after-sales.
Great card, same card I got as a freebie from the Samsung Note 7 fiasco. Currently using it on my S8+ with no issues whatsoever.
How is the speed ?
Up to 95MB/s read and 90MB/s write speeds
UHSI Speed Class 3 (U3)Says a lot more than any random persons opinion ever could…
Except the random person's opinion doesn't need to come into it.
The random person could benchmark it, which is going to say a lot more than the manufacturers "up to" numbers.@O15: Benchmarks don't represent real world usage.
Though neither does manufacturer numbers. Those are theoretical maximums. Based on what you transfer, and what app is accessing, speed will vary. You can't give a single reliable speed, so you can only give maximums. Small files take much longer to transfer than large files of the same total size.
Thread hijack - Anyone know if any cheap 16 or 32 gigs one for my S7?
U3 or C10. Or both??
Both
🤔
@muncan: They should either drop Class 10 as a standard, or call it Class 30. For the longest time I didn't know what that 1 inside of the U meant.
Bargain
But out of stock
No stock again :-(
as I was checking out "Sorry. We don't have enough 'Samsung EVO Plus 256GB microSD Card 95 MB/s (SD Adapter) (128324)' in stock to fulfill your order"
:(
If you received the $20 off $100+ offer on eBay purchases, you can buy this card from apusexpress2for $168.88 - $20 = $148.88 with free shipping. Cashrewards of a couple of bucks, too.
If, like me, you thought "Well, APUS is a ShoppingSquare brand, and ShoppingSquare is on the list of tech stores participating in the 15% off eBay promotion, so I can get it for 15% off $168.88, which is $143.55", you would be, like I was. shocked to learn that ShoppingSquare have it for $199. $199 x 15% is, you guessed it, $168.88.
Would never support those clowns
If this ever comes back in stock again, make sure to use "ACCESS10" to get it for $135.
Nice price now looking for a coupon :/
Should i shouldn't i just purchased a 64g sandisk for $55 where were you yesterday :(
