Samsung EVO Select microSDXC UHS-I U3 130MB/s Full HD & 4K UHD Memory Card inc. SD-Adapter - 256GB - £17.99 / 512GB - £37.99 @ Amazon

You should by a endurance or duration card for a dash cam. Normal cards will eventually break, and warranty doesn't cover dashcam use.

After a bit of googling as I wanted to know the difference and yes that appears to be to be case.

Amazon have exclusive rights to the EVO select name but Samsung rep has acknowledged they are the same as plus range

They appear to be faster than that under certain conditions.

E.g. looking at on Amazon review if used in conjunction with the Samsung extended uhs-1 Usb adaptor that comes with the Samsung plus equivalent the card hit 134/125 read/write but fell back to around 98 with another brands uhs-1 reader.

Nice.. I've bought it for my steam deck

i dont trust this seller and product. Once bought a dud and fake memory card from eBay. never again. was refunded and immediately bought a Samsung variant from amazon.

Tiny bit more than double but I got the 512gb so I don't have to switch cards

10 year warranty on this though. I doubt that many users hit the cards performance limits with many devices anyway. I know for a fact that my s20 plus and my brand new tab s8 ultra won't max this cards read and write speeds.
Neither will the steam deck.

So if you've hit the performance/size limit go for warranty.

My 2cents.

that's fine. u don't hav to buy this

Mine said a couple of weeks, but got an email saying the 5th right after ordering

As it should ...

Hehehehehehe.

Better than okay. This Samsung Evo Select (which is identical to the Plus but rebranded for Amazon exclusivity) is top of the range within the well known brands. Pretty much on par with the Sandisk Extreme and only really superseded by the Extreme Pro (which is much more expensive for not much significantly better specs)... would avoid Sandisk Ultra range though as relatively slow.

I’m fed up with many new devices having no micro SD slot so they can sell you useless ‘cloud storage’ that is not a substitute… it is a good card. I wish the Samsung Fold devices supported SD cards but they are long gone to the dark side…

This has been known since March and 99% of the time it appears to occur on the 2nd format attempt. Didn't Valve release something about how they recommend people do not reformat the cards while the issue is being investigated.

Tbh I don't think it should be on Amazon to replace the card for you. Its the Steam deck which has fried your card so you should be taking it up with Valve.

Looks like a lot of people have success using the Original SD Formatter tool to save the cards after the deck has bricked them. (edited)

Yep!, that's how the one's I bought last Year looked like too. :-D


*** Edit. ***

The internal clear plastic housing, that packages both the memory card + it's adapter is a bit flimsy like, within.

But, all in all, it serves it's purpose well, regardless. :-) (edited)

Could you not put it in your phone but also have some Steam games on it? I'd imagine you'll carry your phone when you have your Steam Deck so you'd be able to simply swap it over?

Yep!, noticed them a few Day's back ago too.

They're goooooood also. :-)

App showed the 512 for me at a much higher price. Now it shows as £37.99 so I've got one :-)

It expired exactly 1 Week back even? :-(

Here:

hotukdeals.com/com…101

I believe the 516GB is still around?

Or else whole deal will need expiring instead, or whatever? :-D

That's a lot of micro SD cards.

You're a bad person. Mr bezos' kids need new shoes too. And money for school dinners. These hard times hit us all.

I was going to ask that. I wanted it to go with the £199 deal a few weeks ago

There's alway's this one, instead, etc:

hotukdeals.com/dea…990

The WD 512 for £36, was that internal?, external (via an enclosure)?

Or ...

Link please? :-)

Thanx.

Yes and no.

But more no, than that of yes, sorry. :-D

But it is doable though, yes. :-)

These 2, however are more passable though:

hotukdeals.com/dea…369

hotukdeals.com/dea…247

As are these 2, too:

hotukdeals.com/dea…284

hotukdeals.com/dea…914


Note to self:

The above last 2 link's, are MORE 'purpose-built', for such use case scenario's, and suchlike's?, than that of my earlier/former 2 even (including that of the one you suggested also even - via way of your original question ... )

Hope some of that helps? :-)

I ordered two - neither are showing on eikther computer I've tried them or my steam deck - what am I doing wrong?

There at £37.99 but out of stock, I still ordered it anyway, least I got for that price I can wait

.... and sadly gone again!

So I've heard. :-D

Ironically, the 256GB one is the same £37.99, as the 512GB one currently is now, or whatever?

Hmmmmmmmmmm, let me see, TEN of the 256GB memory card thing's for me, please? :-(

Hahahahahahahaha.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh well. ;-)

grabbed one on black friday... spot on 💯

256 should be enough for the switch

Which one did you get and what price? Currently have a Samsung 256gb in mine, replacing the 64gb but wish I'd gotten at least 1tb.

Depends on your phone, but yes, if your phone takes them, these are the best spec you need and the price is good

Ya, #MeToo


To be fair though, I've had plenty of stuff like that, I guess when Mr Bezos gets enough orders he orders it sooner, and it generally turns up waaaaaaaaay earlier (edited)
