    Great price. Anyone knowing if these works in reolink 811a? Says 256 but see example that the nvr supports more then it says. Just wondering if newer firmware support it.

    • Mikael on 08/04/2024 - 01:01

      I read in reddit post, it records fine until it reaches the max configured capacity of 256gb and then stops recording. Better off get the 256gb version.

      • mantra on 08/04/2024 - 18:34

        wonder if any benefit over 256gb version like increased write cycles considering this deals similar cost, ideally should be getting endurance cards

    i bought 2 Pro Plus from last deal for $78 today and these are $58 for 2, now i am confused should i cancel those 2 or not, after cashrewards they were 2 for $72.
    Don't know what to do and how are these compared to Pro Plus, except these says only 130Mb Read vs 180MB for Pro, which also states write speed of 130mb.

    • eecan on 08/04/2024 - 01:44
      +3

      If you are using it for USB file transfers with a supported USB card reader then the Pro Plus will be faster. Do note that the advertised speeds above ~100MB/s are only achievable through a proprietary protocol that isn't necessarily supported by card readers that can take much faster cards e.g. UHS-II V90 cards. If you pick up any random card reader or use the SD card slot on your laptop then chances are that they will be limited to ~100MB/s.

      If you are using it for almost anything else e.g. camera, switch, steam deck then there will be no discernible difference

    • Look Up on 08/04/2024 - 13:22

      Keep the PRO Plus cards

      They are the true "EVO Plus" (EVO Select is the Amazon exclusive version of the EVO Plus) cards with the top spec NAND

      Current EVO Plus / EVO Select had a stealth NAND downgrade last year as mentioned in one of the previous deals

      These cards won't die immediately but if you use them in continuous writing/high controller usage/high temperature conditions, they will fail quicker than the PRO Plus

      So besides keeping backups when using these cards, ask yourself whether you're storing valuable data that will be a PITA to recover/restore if it ever fails

      If you have an iPhone, 512GB is enough to store your entire photo, video and movie collection.

      • 64GB: limited storage space.
      • 128GB: enough for basic use.
      • 256GB: enough for the average user.
      • 512GB: store your entire photo, video, and movie collection.
      • 1TB: never worry about storage space and store photos in Apple ProRAW.

    Would these be fine to store ROMS on for my emulated games collection. WIll be inserting into my Alldocube tablet? Does SD card speeed matter when playing more graphic intensive games on the PS2 and Gamecube?

    • theguyrules on 08/04/2024 - 07:57
      +3

      It will be fine. Consider that PS2 and GameCube are read of optical discs which are much slower read rate than this.

      • Smigit on 08/04/2024 - 09:09
        +2

        Wii U, Switch and 3DS also use micro/SD cards in their original consoles. So yeah, can’t see an issue for PS2 and GC at all.

      • PainToad on 08/04/2024 - 09:21
        -1

        You both are missing an important point. Emulation of the upper end of systems needs shader-cache. Loading these needs faster read speeds than the original consoles needed.

        Not saying this SD Card will have an issue, but saying "read of optical discs which are much slower read rate than this" or that the Switch loads from an SD Card isn't relevant.

    • eecan on 08/04/2024 - 08:50
      +3

      For cameras PRO Plus is a waste of money.

      GoPro doesn't require anything faster than an EVO Plus. As far as I know there is no action camera that uses anything faster than a V30 card.

      DSLR/Mirrorless? Absolutely no need for PRO Plus, I have tested in camera and the Samsung PRO Plus behaves almost identically to an EVO Plus in Sony A1, Sony A6700, Sony A7IV, Sony RX100 VII, Canon R6ii (Same story with the UHS-I/V30 Sandisk Extreme PRO).

      This SD card speed class is A2 U3 V30

      According to https://www.kingston.com/en/blog/personal-storage/memory-car…

      V30 is already capable for 8k videos, so I believe it should be good enough doing 4K videos in most action cameras or even DSLR

      They are absolutely fine for normal shooting in 95% of occasions.
      In very extreme shooting situations where you are doing constant rapid back to back burst shots and shooting raw you may notice the buffer takes longer to clear than a faster card.

      • BuyNowThinkLater on 08/04/2024 - 14:56

        bit the bullet..

        "Most of the cards we tested had a V30 rating, so they have a sequential write speed of at least 30 MB/s. This should be enough to support up to 4K video at lower bitrates. Higher-rated V60 and V90 cards are usually better for capturing 8K, but they come at a much higher cost."

    Read write speeds:
    https://www.engadget.com/best-microsd-card-130038282.html

    The Samsung Evo Select is a clear step behind our top picks, particularly when it comes to sequential write speeds (just under 70 MB/s on CrystalDiskMark)

      The catch is that the top read/write speeds from their top picks are only achieved with supported USB card readers so the vast majority of users won't see any benefit. UHS-I cards which both the Samsung PRO Plus and PRO Ultimate are limited to ~100MB/s and they use hacks to get around the around the limit which aren't supported by basically any devices (only specific USB card readers).

      Benchmark results from a UHS-II card reader:

      EVO Select https://imgur.com/w4okHlQ
