  They did increase the price. It’s about $10 more after discount.

  Which is faster: Evo+ or Evo Plus?

    "Plus" is the newer, 2017, model.

      Thanks. So this looks like the newer model.

    I believe "Plus" is the newer version

  At futu, they took the extra 10% off in the cart before the 20% off started.

  Dammit, price-jackers! :(

  Was hoping to grab one for ~$120, which would have made it around 46c or 47c/GB. At $129.60, it's still over 50c/GB, which is still just a bit too much of a price premium over 128GB (~39c/GB) and 64GB (~36c/GB) for me…

  It is a great price for the card, 256GB cards just not quite getting to the sweet spot yet!

  Does anybody have a link to a 256GB suitable for the Nintendo switch covered by PCTECH code? Think the one linked is just on the slow side. Thanks

    I have the 128GB Evo Plus in my Switch and it's fine. Really UHS 3 is more than enough performance, probably overkill for the Switch. You won't notice much benefit going to something more expensive, maybe shave off a second of load time?

    This card is suitable for the Nintendo Switch - why do you say it's on the slow side?

    The Switch can only utilise U1/Class 10 write speeds (faster cards will be bottlenecked and write at the same speed), and Nintendo recommends 60MB/s-95MB/s read speeds, which this card does (rated at 100MB/s, and speedtests seem to put it in the 90s).

    Are you confusing with the old Evo cards?

    I have the 64GB Samsung Evo Select (exactly the same as the Evo Plus apparently) in my Switch now, and plan to replace it with a 128/256GB Evo Select or Plus when the prices come down. (Note: The 64GB cards are actually slower than the 128Gb/256Gb cards.)

    This is my planned card for my switch when the price drops more. Can't see how it wouldn't be fast enough.

      Thanks for the replies. My son was thinking he needed something like the v30 sandisk etc.
