Samsung Evo Plus vs SanDisk Extreme
October 20, 2018
A better comparison would have been the Samsung Pro line of SD cards to the SanDisk Exreme but I was curious how a more budget oriented card would do compared to a card that is known to be one of the fastest. There is a newer version of the SanDisk Extreme out that is the A2 so if you do buy get the newer one.
As you can see both tests are pretty similar in it's results. The budget EVO Plus has roughly 20MB/s slower write rate compared to the more expensive Extreme but for read speeds it's a pretty negligible difference. For action cameras which is constant write, I would buy the Extreme and for the EVO Plus I would use in something that doesn't have much write jobs such as storage for a phone or a drive for a Raspberry Pi. That's not to say that the EVO Plus wouldn't work in an action camera. The new GoPro 7 Black shoots 4K at a bitrate of 78Mbps which is about 9.75 MB/s so even with the EVO Plus at 68MB/s there shouldn't be a problem whatsoever but having a faster card can only help.

FAKE SAMSUNG MEMORY CARD??
December 7, 2018
I suspect these 2 64GB Samsung cards I bought are fake. I put them in my phone and it said they were slow and to consider using a UHS-1 memory card.
This is suppose to be a UHS-1 card.
The back of the card had a sticker covering up the real bar code.

My Samsung Galaxy 8 note will not recognize these sd card

I had some strange issues formatting this for a Raspberry Pi B+.
It was recommended to me to format a Pi SD card to FAT32, but the only options Windows 10 gave me were exFAT or NTFS.
Choosing exFAT would not boot the Pi at all, so it seems to be working ok as NTFS for now.
When copying the RetroPie image to the fresh SD card, it would keep making an unexpected additional blank partition that took up a few gigs of space and then prompt me to format said partition.
I cant say for sure if it's the SD card or just the way I'm using it, but something seems a bit off with this one.

Bought this for my Nintendo Switch. It is compatible and works great. So far no problems. I've bought many microSD cards from Samsung over the years and none have failed me yet. Definitely recommend!

I got 3 of these to upgrade my kid's kindle fire tablets since the 8GB that comes with the tablets (more like 4GB useable) is really inadequate for almost anything (shame on kindle for selling them with so little memory in the first place!). All 3 of the memory cards worked on arrival and they've given new life to the tablets which had become only marginally useful with only a bare handful of books and apps installed. They're plenty fast and seem reliable so far. Recommended!

Works perfectly in my S7 edge. More than enough room to store apps and pics.

In my business, I need FAST SD cards, not only in write, but also in read, and most spec's are clearly stated for how fast the card can be written (of course, to entice camera owners, where the volume of sales is).
This product actually outperforms (in my benchmark testing, and others I have seen online)
The SanDisk Extreme Pro (spec'd faster in R and W, but in my testing the Samsung Evo Plus beats it hands down in both R and W)
The SanDisk Extreme (same statement as above)
I will definitely use this as my main go to card (in it's various sizes), and I recommend the same for others to follow.

I was a bit wary due to some negative reviews about fake/counterfeit products. When I received my card, I immediately check read/write speeds. The advertised speeds are up to 100mb/s read and 60mb/s write. In reality, my card was 87mb/s read and 50mb/s write. Overall, I'm happy that I received an authentic card and personally will choose Samsung over other brands due to their consistent high performance.
