SanDisk Deals & Offers

I’ve put the evo 860 in my MacBook Pro mid 2012 and honestly its at warp speed now. Working 6 programs faster than it was opening just 1 before. Also it’s practically silent & doesn’t get as hot. Maxing your ram is must too!

I failed to find any reviews on this at all which is annoying. I'd be inclined to go with the MX500 as it's not much more ~£10 extra. Avoid the QVO drive. Evo is good but it's an extra £30 on top of the MX500 and I don't see the point.

My point is there's not much in it, I'd get the Samsung myself

Cheers but cost isn't an issue. So 860 Evo then?

Why cold cause Scan?

Does this stop 5G signals.... (popcorn)

Typically they write at 30MB/s for a few seconds then dribble down to 10-15MB/s if it's a particularly big copy due to the way their buffer works. I've gotten into arguments about how people shouldn't even post these if the most important spec - the write speed - isn't shown anywhere. My favourite analogy for it - advertising a kettle as having a 1 litre per second pour speed but not mentioning that it takes half an hour to boil. But because people heat them up, people keep posting them. This is Sandisk palming off old kit at a seemingly reasonable price to folk who don't know any better. If they were proud of the write speed it'd be right there on the packaging.

Sandisk only says lower than advertised read speed and varies by capacity. Best to hunt for reviews.

Yes, it uses Star Trek gobbley gook technology to protect you.

Does it guard against 5g?

Usually means write speeds are slow. Manufacturers don't advertise it.

This is the way to go , others just too slow

this one is alot faster but costs a bit more £12.95 https://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Extreme-microSDXC-Adapter-Performance/dp/B07FCMBLV6/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=SanDisk+Extreme+PRO+64GB&qid=1590880051&s=computers&sr=1-4

Perfect timing, I was literally just looking for a card for my Switch.

Nice (y) And if anyone wants 3 Pack: It's £21.69 Delivered @ Picstop

Cheaper on PicStop at £8.79 including delivery. https://www.picstop.co.uk/microsd-sdhc/sandisk-ultra-microsdxc-100mbs-class-10-uhsi-card-64gb.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw5cL2BRASEiwAENqAPk-zGUVVLDNRqVtLQvLMWTTyvKzdFPp2cm7VSWL3AzAUNmpd-U3ZFRoC2mAQAvD_BwE

Great price...

Relating to PS5 as dax101 stated I’m pretty sure sony will end up bitting their tongues. To be ahead of anything in PC they will need to go with something faster that PCle 4.0. Which does not make any sense as will absurdly increase the cost and will offer no perceptible performance improvements. Going already over 1000mb/s shows no noticeable improvement on gaming.

Fair enough

Not to go too off-topic in relation to the deal, however it may not be a ludicrous statement to make considering there are a few internal SSDs reaching read speeds of around 3500MB/s. In their own marketing, Samsung claim the 970 Evo Plus M.2 internal SSD reaches read speeds of 3500MB/s. In a normal daily situation or benchmark results, these speeds may differ. Have a look at the Sabrent Rocket which utilises PCIe 4.0 and they claim read speeds of up to 5000MB/s! Not that much of a far fetched statement when these SSDs are claiming speeds in their own marketing. Regarding Sony’s SSD? I think we’ll have to bite our tongues in terms of speculation and wait until June 3rd, where we may find out some more details of the specs!

But mchcreations (above) mentioned a 3500mb/s SSD, surely Sony can’t have one faster than that, can they?

Their message was referencing Thunderbolt 3 technology used by external SSDs. The PS5 will be utilising an internal SSD. Internal SSDs can be much faster than external SSDs.

also great in a PSVita running custom firmware using an SD2Vita adapter

Wait 4 months to maybe save a fiver. buy buy buy if you want it

Outside of any errors etc, has been £18.99 for Amazon Prime day last year for Prime members. So if you are in no rush, may see cheaper prices in September (rumoured to be when Prime day will happen).

Any idea how low the cheapest branded card at or over 200gb has been? I'm in no rush but might look at picking one up at some point

Need for switch also:)

Thanks just ordered for my nextbase

Haven't seen for a good price yet. But keeping eye on. (y)

cracking price , any deals on 256g gb card for use on action cam

Almost this for a 64gb on Amazon the other day. Heat

128gb for me - 32gb is £8.69

i have one of these as a 64gb card. It's awful. crashed the dashcam all the time. recordings on my Phanto3m 4K were screwed. It just cannot handle a 4k stream and didn't much like the 1080 stream from the dash cam either. would be very wary of these indeed. (and I also bought it from Argos, so chances of it being fake seem slim).

I have had mixed results with these as had one fail. I suspect it is because they get very hot as they are so small so nowhere for heat to dissipate

I wonder what the write speed is...

These are great little drives...but so tiny I keep losing it !! (lol) (lol)

it's avalable to order again (Back order though)

Agreed same here XD

Keep eye on. it normally comes back in few days price matching scan. But they charge for delivery.

The deal seems to have disappeared as I can't find it.

Not sure why...but everytime a memory card deal comes up, I want to buy it. Regardless of whether I need it or not. So strange.

The price is down to £18.45 now!

No problems in a month of use *touch wood*, my camera is the Aiofo A119 v2, not as refined as a nextbase though.

From what I can recall of a ‘chat’ with Nextbase, when they say “up to nnnGB”, there’s a good reason and they mean it. Don’t know if same is true of other makes though.

What about what’s IN your swimming trunks?

Looks slow because you're looking at them for the wrong use

Surely the 27.99 256mb disk (currently over 1000 heat) is better value than this?

Ahhh sorry, didn't realise it was Prime only (:I

Only on Prime :)

£18.95 on Amazon UK at the mo for anyone that misses out or would rather use those. Ordered myself earlier.

:D

I've got a couple of the earlier Sandisk Extremes that look almost identical to this, but with red writing. I've also got issues with the USB mechanism struggling to lock in place. Having said that they're still the fastest drives I have and give sustainted reads and writes of around 200mbps.

This as a boot drive for Raspberry Pi 4 (USB boot available in beta now)?

I went through a few USB 3 sticks recently, each speed test was utterly shocking! All went back to Amazon..... I ended up spending the money in the end buying the SanDisk Extreme Go, great speeds, great device, well happy! I paid this for 64gb version, so this is a bargain! Heat! (y)

£23.09 here: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sandisk-extreme-go-usb-31-flash-drive-128gb-3470190

I have one of these, the USB mechanism failed and it couldn't get it up, so to speak, well not without a little help (cheeky) Having said that it's possible I was unlucky and it is very fast, well worth the money.

I would keep using complete savings. If you sign up via the Trainline app, you can claim £16 for free if you buy a 55p train ticket. Also, any purchase you make during that month from any retailer, you can claim the £15 monthly fee back so is effectively free. They also offer 10% cashback at most retailers along with 20% off gift cards (y)

I just bought one and have been given an offer for 'complete savings' and £16 off the next order. Just need to cancel membership within 30 days as its £15pm. Seems I can get another card for £13!

The my memory own brand card is faster but it has less capacity than the scandisk card have used this retail few times original cards and fast delivery my memory cards have lifetime guarantee and they will uphold it

I'm keen on this, but using the compatibility checker on the SanDisk site it shows as not compatible with NVidia shield or Huwawei tablet?

You'll be fine buying from Picstop

I paid £21 odd from my memory a couple of weeks ago, it was cheapest I could find at the time so this deals is good I vote hot.

It says U3 so I assume this is a rebadged Sandisk Extreme? If so that's not a bad deal for a U3 SD card from a good brand.

Lol. I see someone had now posted the base.com deal https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sandisk-128gb-microsdxc-card-for-nintendo-switch-u3-1899-delivered-at-basexom-3471377

Nintendo's RGB.

Branding costs :p It’ll be a licensing deal. People will pay more for a Nintendo branded one. This deal is for this specific style version of it, so it’s a deal as for this specific card it’s a good price. A Kingston branded card will do the same for £12.99, id rather pay £14.99 for Sandisk. I’d rather pay this for this Nintendo branded one if I’m going to get one, as I want it for the switch specifically, so why not. Or keep it sealed as a collectible (unicorn) Edit, sure I saw regular 128GB for £14.99 the other day, but it’s £17.65 on Amazon right now so will deffo be ordering one or two :3

Thanks might give that a go.

I use these and they work great on MacBook. amazon.co.uk/UGREEN-Enclosure-External-Thunderbolt-Tool-Free/dp/B07Y825V4N/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2ZZ243YQNYTL4&dchild=1&keywords=ugreen+usb+c&qid=1590512309&sprefix=Ugreen%2Caps%2C178&sr=8-6

anybody else have a 15% code they could post of pm please? thanks in advance

Could someone recommend a USB-c enclosure to run these off a MacBook Pro to keep the speeds as fast as possible thanks
