First post ever!! Was trying to buy a 256GB micro SD card and found this one with a Google search. Seems to be a very low price for a decent Micro SD card.
CamelCamelCamel.
What is the Ozbargain microSD of choice for the Switch?
I use this exact card. Works perfectly.
First post ever!!
Congrats. Welcome to ozbargain
Thanks Op. was this the brand that tried to copy SONY and called themselves PONY and now PNY? 😃
The first memory modules were traded between Paris and New York, thus forming the acronym PNY.
That's one of the least interesting origins I've ever read.
Nope.
These are a huge company well known for memory.
I have this same card, brilliant.
dispatch within 1-2monts? our of stock already?
Arriving 24 Jan - 3 Mar crazy
That is crazy. I've waited 3xmonths for a book lol
Is this good enough card for a DJI Pocket spare ?
According to the picture on the store page it's good enough for a DJI Mavic
Already gone? I need 512gb card for my security camera
Better off with an endurance card for that.
Wish stupid google let me use a card in my pixel phones
Tell that to any mainstream company selling higher end phones :)
Sony, Xiaomi and OnePlus all have SD in their higher end phones.
Motorolla has them in their upper-mids too.
Highly rate the Xperia series. Highly.
I'm not sure I'd call Sony mainstream, the only people buying them are enthusiasts. Not sure what you're referring to with Xiaomi, the 12 and 13 series don't have microSD card support, and neither do the flagship Oneplus phones. Can't say much about Motorola.
Side note - if the flagship Sony phones actually made sense price wise, maybe I'd consider one?
@MasterScythe: HTC - Their Australian website only lists two phones available (one was launched in 2017 and one in 2018) and I cant see any Australian retailers selling HTC phones.
Sony - They announced they were leaving the Australian market in 2019.
I wouldn't call either brand mainstream in Australia, I wouldn't even call them smartphone brands.
@MasterScythe: If you're defining "mainstream" then "In Australia" is definitely a goalpost on OZbargain.
People grey-importing phones not available here is not mainstream.
You alright mate? There's a lot of deleted comments here.
@MasterScythe: Times absolutely have changed. I've recommended my mates buy Xiaomi and Poco phones in the past (4+ years ago).
Back in those days the discounts made sense when you factored in the lack of warranty. You could buy 3x comparable Xiaomis for the price of one high end galaxy. But these days the Poco prices dont seem that good when compared against Samsung or Motorola phones during sales at JB.
Even though i disagreed with some of your comments, i didn't downvote them. Regardless, you shouldn't feel really upset by them. It's the internet, people will have different opinions. Doesnt mean you go nuclear and delete your thoughts, even if not everyone agrees.
Could just get a USB C adapter. For this card size you're most likely using it for media, so not like it will be connected all the time, where it could snap off in your pocket
Wouldn't have to worry about that if there was a microsd card slot in them phones.
Seriously the "i don't use it nor want it" crowd who seem to think they should dictate it for everybody else needs to just chill.
It does not affect you if the phone has a microsd card slot if you weren't planning on using. The phone does not get any cheaper without it.
I think you underestimate how much people like to listen to music from a phone.
My personal library is over 256gb, and less than half is even lossless.
I know many a person who watches entire TV series from their phone also.
True, video watching has limited 'snap off' potential, since youre holding it, but music is often pocketed, with just the headphone cable sticking out.
The other big use is backups.
Fair, that can be usb-c, but it stops you automating it nightly or such.
If my phone gets damaged, I just pop the card, decrypt the backup, and add to a new phone.
Phones without a card slot often lack a way to access media if the phone is broken. Even expensive brands like apple don't do proper 'usb storage mode' like it used to on the 1, 2 and 3.
I think you underestimate how many people are more likely to just stream music from Spotify/TIDAL etc rather than have their music stored locally.
@ldd-mn: I dont think I do. Its an easy statistic to make an educated guess at, using number of active accounts, compared to population in an area.
I actually think thats a completely different crowd than those chasing SD card storage.
Also, unless they're signed/labeled bands, they dont usually show up on those services.
HarshNoise and Chiptune genres for example are all but absent.
Sometimes your brain just says its SID chip time, ya know? Lol.
They also require a reliable data connection,
So not fantastic unless you live metro.
Regardless; the backups in case of damage are the bigger concern to me.
assuming photos are what's taking up your memory/ i don't know what else can.
just save ur photos with the non-high resolution option, you'll get unlimited storage?
Music mostly.
Offline Maps take a decent chunk.
Chat database backups.
Email database is near 100GB.
It all adds up.
Gone
is PNY a good brand?
According to Wikipedia
PNY Technologies, Inc., doing business as PNY, is an American manufacturer of flash memory cards, USB flash drives, solid state drives, memory upgrade modules, portable battery chargers, computer locks, cables, chargers, adapters, and consumer and professional graphics cards. The company is headquartered in Parsippany-Troy Hills, New Jersey.
for some unknown Mandela effect, I keep thinking PNY is a Chinese brand =))
Yes.
Extremely.
need to find a use for this!
