Not only is this card cheaper on PicStop, but the faster Samsung equivalent is only £2 more expensive, too. http://www.picstop.co.uk/micro-sdxc/samsung-evo-plus-micro-sdxc-uhs-i-card-with-adapter-128gb.html

Just what I've been waiting for. Would've preferred the Samsung card but this'll do fine with the extra £10 off (promotional credit from Amazon).

Still £1 cheaper for exactly the same genuine item at picstop. I'd probably buy it from Amazon if they matched it!

Paid £31.99 for mine just a few months back .. great price

Why better ?

i have this and Samsung EVO Plus samsung is cheaper and better than this ,https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XFZV9JY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Sandisk Extreme cards use MLC memory, so more reliable than cheap cards. For a fiver more they have a 64GB warranted for dash cam use: http://www.picstop.co.uk/micro-sdxc/sandisk-high-endurance-video-monitoring-card-micro-sdxc-64gb.html

Faster speeds you saying ???... ha, ha

Is this the recommended one for dash cam or CCTV cameras?

Would this card be suitable for a CCTV camera?

For those who don't have prime same price here http://www.picstop.co.uk/micro-sdxc/sandisk-ultra-micro-sdxc-memory-card-100mbs-class-10-for-android-64gb.html

Good price sackman

Just don't forget to backup anything you want to keep, from it. I used one in my phone, it failed after approximately 2 years of use.

16gb only £6.29! Gone up to £7.99

Fair enough - thanks for admitting it. Yes, if you don't have USB-C, this will be a waste and your option is the better one as it's also very fast.

my bad! It shows that I am becoming outdated with these things. Luckily my lappy has no type c connector. As you said, it should get +ve votes if that is the case.

Um it’s not USB-C so while you’re not comparing like-for-like might as well compare to a WD 1TB HDD for £30 as well...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B015CH1NAQ/ref=psdc_430554031_t1_B01EZ0X3L8?th=1 This one looks a better deal....

Not sure why this is cold? It’s expensive for a stick in its own right but given how prevalent USB-C is, it’s very convenient.

£5.99 delivered http://www.picstop.co.uk/microsd-sdhc/sandisk-ultra-micro-sdhc-memory-card-98mbs-class-10-for-android-16gb.html

Haven't come across one. The last one I found was for £29 from picstop.

There is a benchmark video from digitalfoundry on youtube iirc

Great price, but i would prefer a U3

You got a source for that? I've read people mentioning how there's no point going for U3 over U1 on Switch, but never anyone saying U1 is faster.

Is this good for a Dashcam? I'm not sure which card is high endurance MLC as they don't usually say. looking for a 128gb micro sd

Yes you're right, the price is competitive, so on that basis I voted hot

It’s serves as a reminder to anyone who put a purchase on hold. All while the prices went to the moon for a while. It may be the current price but was it 1-months ago? Also a bit hypocritical considering some of the above RRP deals you’ve posted for GPUs though not all.

Yes, loads: I did say that for the price this is ok (although the transcend SSD you recently posted, and I voted hot, is better than this, is £50). My comments are consistent with the professional reviews of this drive: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/dramless-ssd-roundup,4833-8.html Verdict We've seen the SSD Plus 240GB with both MLC and TLC flash. You can roll the dice, or just buy a product with higher performance for the same price. https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/7726/sandisk-ssd-plus-z410-sata-iii-review/index10.html Pros: Faster than an HDD Cons: High Cost to Performance Ratio Low Read Performance Low Sustained Write Performance All Plastic Enclosure.

Do you ever have some positive comments :/

I agree. This Sandisk SSD performs no different from the raft of other branded budget SSDs - Palit, Kingston, Liteon, Adata etc which do not have a dram chip. This price puts it on par with these drives. The price is competitive only. The drive is poorly put together though with cheap and fragile components (this is not an Ultra II, I have 2 of the Ultra IIs, 2 Crucial, 1 toshiba, 1 Liteon) There is no midrange for SSDs. There is only budget and premium. This is what I expect to pay for any 240 gb budget SSD.

They recognise the card, but with the latest firmware the Samsung card says it was removed unexpectedly on the Fire 8HD. The problem is listed on plenty of help sites. The only solution is to buy a Sandisk. Cannot comment on the Fire 7, as it is a different bit of kit. Samsung SD cards do not work we'll with the Fire 8 HD that's all I am saying. https://www.amazonforum.com/forums/devices/fire-tablets/465339-sd-card-unexpectedly-removed-after-5-6-upgrade?page=2

They do, I had one in my Fire 7. The only problem is that the card died after 12 months.

Link updated as Amazon have reduced to the same price.

Ebay memory card? No thanks. Seller also has very poor reviews: https://www.facebook.com/pg/Velocityoutlet/reviews

Was £12 when I checked last, thanks for update!

32GB Version at Amazon on offer too : https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sandisk-class-10-ultra-32gb-uhs-i-80mbs-micro-sd-sdhc-memory-card-895-amazon-prime-eligible-2928937

"VC5" is the new code for 5% off

None of these card's are recommended for Dash Cam's ... But saying that, some have used these for such purposes, and found it worked perfectly well either way. :-) So what can I say?.

good deal thanks, but BFFC code no longer working

It's not on their official list, but I've used one in a Hero 5 without any problems. https://gopro.com/help/articles/Block/microSD-Card-Considerations

‘Don’t look back’ being absolutely key. If you keep checking prices too much you will never go ahead - been there, done that. Choose what you want in your price range and go for it. If you haven’t found your ideal build yet - use something like PC Part Picker - it’s a good place to start to find the best prices for the gear from different sources - https://uk.pcpartpicker.com

I suppose it depends how patient you are/can be. There's always going to be a better price round the corner. Regardless, no matter when you buy I'm sure you won't be disappointed. If you spot a good deal that fits your budget I'd say just grab it and don't look back :)

Ok thanks. I'm looking to buy my first build and looking around 1070 level do you think there is much point in waiting for price drops or shall I just bite the bullet on the next 1070 deal?

At the moment around £350 for a 1070, £430 for a 1070 Ti and don't bother with the 1080 as prices are ridiculous for practically 1070 Ti levels of performance.

Basically.... Earlier last year the Samsung had some sort of power outage in their main production plant which make the memory chips used in a lot of things that knocked their global production rate down by 3.5% -- Some industry insiders predicted there would be a serious shortage as almost every electrical device needs what these factories make in one way or another and a lot of product that was being made were allocated to big companies like Apple, Sony, Huawei --- every big mobile phone, laptop or tablet manufacturer first before the excess being spread to other manufacturers to make things like SSDs. Samsung decided to open up another 2 or 3 factories in China to cope with the drop in production but in doing so, they ended up flooding the market. I know Sandisk make their own NAND chips for their SSDs but they could be price matching their competitors to gain sales. Prices should be cheaper until samsung decides to slow production to regulate the prices...

my receipt says VAT £0.00 ? I was just curious if they were doing some sort of tax scam or they're grey imports or something. It had an address of Netherlands on it so I wondered if it's being shipped from outside the EU as my company imports things from China that come into NL and get posted on this way.

It's an American, or British Store ... I believe that VAT has already been 'applied' to the total price, etc? (and from that we then get our £8.99).

How come they don't charge VAT? AFAIK there is VAT on memory cards ....

This is perfect for a raspberry pi!

Apps run on random input-output of data. Standard Class 10 card only gets around 0.5mb write and 5mb read per second, really not ideal for running apps. A1 Standard should at least achieve 4 times that, especially on the write side of things. Personally after trying out a UHS-1 card to run apps on my partners Android I wouldnt recommend it, took forever for some apps to load, and some even just crashed. Gave the A1 class card a go and it runs apps almost as quick as the internal flash memory does.

Anybody know what is the fastest (read, write, both etc) SD card? I never got to grips with how to work it out, classes, U1 or U3 etc. Or which are meant for continuous use? e.g. the way WD purple drives are optimised for surveillance, red for NAS etc. Obviously the proof is in the pudding (i.e. benchmarks) but as a rule of thumb? I've never found an SD card that is faster than a USB 3.0 memory stick - is there one?

Not bad price but Toshiba U3 card is £14.99 at Base

No it is USB 3.0 speed, the obvious difference from a regular USB 3.0 flash drive is you can plug it into your phone. If you don't need it to plug into a phone then it is probably better/cheaper to get a regular USB 3.0 drive.

Is it full usb c Speed ? Otherwise no difference from usb 3.0

Slow speed not worth the bother

A cheapee alternative: Toshiba 64GB TransMemory USB 3.0 Flash Drive at BT Shop for £10.50 (with the free delivery option)

Yeah, same here in the past. If it's a DotD/Lightning offer, at least it tells you how many minutes (with a countdown clock) remaining you have to buy it before it increases in price or the offer expires. I'd recommend using something like CCC to tell you as soon as it decreases in price again (has worked great for me on many deals in the past) - https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/. When CCC sends you the change (via email), you can't hang about again, as you might miss it!

Annoyingly, I had this in my basket and waiting for something else I needed to buy to push it over the £20. Went to buy extra item and noticed the price had gone up. I'll wait until it goes on offer again.

Think amazon have caught on it was popular and put the price up slightly

It says that you will save 16p on the rrp.... at £17.49? Deal or no deal? Hmmmm......

@pavel76 thx

Was £14.99 recently at Amazon £16.99 delivered at Base now...

Tuesday, 10 April Parcel has been handed over to the carrier and is in transit Times are shown in the local time zone. Get in there. (highfive) Thanks mate. (y) If you hadn't posted the link up top, I'd have missed this. I suspect a number of folks missed it by not clicking on the deal because it was showing as OOS at one point, apparently, but when I clicked to check it out I was lucky enough to hit the re-opened deal window at the crazy low price.

Thanks for the heads up on the post but I don't know if I'm going to get it. The OP has said his is dispatched, mine is just showing as ordered and arriving tomorrow. (annoyed)

Still a hot deal, the Crucial drive earlier today (of which eBuyer cancelled all the orders but hopefully Amazon won't) was clearly an error. This is cheap for this drive.

Good stuff mate!

Good spot, thanks. (highfive) Just grabbed one.

Haha! Lovely bed, more just the style of the photo that got my imagination working overtime!

Not a crime scene, just my bed (lol)

Seen these in my local Tesco today. One was this price but then right next to it there was the exact same for about £11 or £12. Exact same speed.

If you will look close you will find same for 10.5.... picked up one today at Tesco.

Same at Chesterfield, although the A1 version is a few pence more on Amazon - not sure what the difference is though, although from memory I think it offers better performance for apps (presumably if you’re using it for adoptable storage)
