      …. and Slow.

      These provide an excellent replacement for the NBN service that you are still waiting for. You could pack a heap of these into an envelop to send some where for $1. Alternative pidgeon should be able to at least five at a time.

              @[Deactivated]: Speaking of cassette tapes, BASF brand cassette tapes were my favourite. BASF later renamed to EMTEC which are the brand of these micro SD cards :)

    Would this be alright for a dslr?

    • whats up skip on 15/10/2018 - 16:10
      +1

      Technically yes, but they have a slow write speed which can be an issue if take a burst of images or record 4k UHD video.

      Some people also report problems using microSD cards in DSLRs that have a SD card slot. I personally have never had that problem, but that is based on one older Canon model.

    • djones145 on 15/10/2018 - 16:16

      if ur taking photos on dose, would u risk losing it on a cheap ad card like this!

        Well I'm not that good looking, so a part of me wants the photos to be lost lol

    Dash cam?

    • whats up skip on 15/10/2018 - 16:08

      Samsung EVO or EVO Plus seem to be the most recommended as they handle the high temperatures better than others.

    • dm01 on 15/10/2018 - 16:29

      Nope.

    • Mitch889 on 16/10/2018 - 09:43

      You want a high endurance card for a dash cam.

        no, but the chicks I made the mix tapes for were!

      • Jackson on 15/10/2018 - 20:16

        Yes, the chrome ones I have at least, I hsvr some from years ago that still sound not far off digital recordings

  • Tuftsdude on 15/10/2018 - 16:33

    Since no one has asked and all the answers seem to be no - Would this be good for a Samsung phone?

    • pennypincher98 on 15/10/2018 - 17:11

      What will you be putting on there?
      Be fine for photos but I wouldn't put apps on there.

      • Tuftsdude on 15/10/2018 - 17:21

        Oh damn, it doesn't sound good at all then. It would've been apps and photos/videos.

        • pennypincher98 on 15/10/2018 - 17:53

          Yeah YMMV but I'd look out for SanDisk Extreme/Ultra, Samsung, even the high performance Lexar ones.

          It might be alright if you aren't working with 4K?

    • idonotknowwhy on 15/10/2018 - 18:09

      I wouldn't. Even if you use it for photos / the camera, you'll probably have a noticeable delay after snapping a pic, for it to be written to this media.

  • JinK on 15/10/2018 - 16:40

    Would it is ok for PMP, such as Walkman A45

    • [Deactivated] on 16/10/2018 - 11:18

      It should work. But the A45 rebuilds/checks it’s database on each boot, which can take a minute or more on slow cards, particularly if you have a lot of music.

      I’ve put in a faster card, just to make that DB process happen speedily. Saving a minute on boot each time is worth a few dollars extra to me. Particularly given the A45 isn’t cheap to begin with. As a bonus, the faster card makes it quicker to add music too.

      As a general rule, everything is better with a faster card.

      • JinK on 17/10/2018 - 11:23

        Yeah, thanks for advice.
        Actually I use my A45 with a Toshiba Exeria U3 64GB, but i will need another card for backup. Anw, may go with Samsung Evo+series

    I have an usb3 stick, its so slow. Starting copying, it writes at more than 20 MB/s for 10 seconds then it drops to zero, then it is up and down.

    • goose25 on 15/10/2018 - 22:12

      Is it from the Emtec brand? Or is this just a story you wished to share with everyone?

      • slackme on 15/10/2018 - 22:51
        +1

        Of course it is Emtec brand, why would I refer a different brand here?

  • TheDukeOfNukem on 15/10/2018 - 18:58

    Oh (profanity), this is a Micro, that's even better value.

    But damn, I thought it was a normal SD, I was gonna shove one in my Chromie for that price. Never had much luck using these adapters for Micro SDs unfortunately, but if I stumble into one of these while getting my Grill'd burger tomorrow, I'll grab it. Cheers OP!

    Would this be alright just to use in my phone? Saving Spotify playlists is taking up all of my storage

      Should be fine for that.

  • Jenus on 16/10/2018 - 10:43

    Did anyone in Melbourne manage to snag one? Passed by Carlton APO, they do not have it in stock.

    • tempura on 16/10/2018 - 20:06

      I hope the cost of you having to travel justify the purchase

        I'm on a bike. I had time to burn. What's my cost of travel?
