Worked perfectly in my testing and in my tablets!
December 17, 2017
I got this 128 GIG card to use with my tablets. So far it has worked perfectly in my testing. I always keep a couple of spares around for my future buys and I seem to give a lot of my SD cards away to family and friends. I picked up this 128 GIG at a great price and I just couldn’t pass it up.
I own about 100 SD cards and I always do a speed test to verify the reading and writing speeds before I install the memory. This card checked out extremely well. The fastest write speed on this card was 73.143 MB/Sec and the fastest reading speed was 93.368 MB/Sec. I have attached the graphical test data for your information. I used a USB 3.0 port with a USB 3.0 card reader for the test.
Overall, this card worked well and I rated it five stars. If I have any future issues I will update my review.
I hope my review and photo of the test data helps you.
Out of 100 plus SD cards I have purchased from Sandisk I have only had one fail. With Sandisk’s 10 year warranty they replaced it and sent me a new one at no charge. That is the advantage when you purchase high tech from a top company that stands behind their product.
I simply called them and returned the old chip and they sent me a new one.
I am amazed at how well these work and how low the price has gotten on a sale day. Putting one of these into your phone or tablet is a wonderful upgrade to the device’s storage capability.
Almost no one needs a 128 GIG chip but at sales prices you can’t pass up getting them.
This is a great product and it makes your smart devices even more powerful.
This is a simple and easy upgrade for your smart devices.

Got a fake...
July 11, 2018
I ordered this based on the speeds that it's capable of, the reputation of SanDisk, and the general rating on Amazon for this product.
As I usually do with my flash storage purchases, I tested the card using h2testw and a few other softwares to confirm the card's authenticity. Unfortunately, it failed all the tests!! Lots of corrupt sectors and total usable space was approx. 7gb, when it was meant to be close to 256gb.
So I guess I was unfortunate enough to have gotten a fake card... Something I was hoping to avoid by buying through Amazon.
My advice to buyers: test the card when you get it to confirm. Search for the plethora of free softwares available to do this online. It might take you a while to fully test it out (as was tt he case for me) but it may save you from using a dud.
The only good thing, in my case, was that Amazon was quick to acknowledge my problems, so got a full refund after returning the product.

Bought two. Both averaged 14MB/s and would burst to about 20MB/s. Nowhere near the 98MB/S claimed. Tried to return same day received (after working with them for 90 minutes, and amazon wouldn't stating "This item note qualified for return."

this product is not what is advertised. it ended up being a 2gb card sold as 128GB be careful, do not buy.

Card dead on arrival. Immediate write errors and card cannot be formated. This is my first time ever having issues with an AD card.

I always use SanDisk and think they are top-notch. However, beware of fakes! I got an obvious fake microSD card, and the retail package had obviously been opened before I received it.

After trying and trying repeatedly to use this microcard as a replacement in my Samsung S7 - hours of frustration, seeking guidance from internet, friends, etc. I gave up, thinking it was just my ineptitude. Tried again several times, it would never work.
Finally, decided to try a different/new card. Sure enough...worked right away! So, by now the 128 GB card ordered May 2, is well past its "return by" date, when I determine it is defective. Now what do I do? Searched on Amazon, but found no instructions for this situation.
Giving it 1 star in hopes this can be rectified. I use SanDisk cards all the time and have never had a problem like this before.
Just found out from SanDisk that this card is a fake - not their product. Guess I am screwed unless Amazon steps up and makes it
good. Need to somehow punish this seller "Lecu Computer" for giving Amazon a bad name and customers a bad product!

SD card failed after only a couple of weeks, will not read, will not save anything, this was not a good purchase, my previous review was deleted but here it is, in reality I am dissatisfied with the way this was handled, the card was bad, did not work as intended and I wished it was shipped on time. As such I would say stay away, there are other cards and other sellers.

Dead on Arrival. I was never able to format it. The worse part was that when I tried to pull it out from my laptop card reader, I burned my fingers touching it! The card was extremely hot. I took it out using a piece of cloth and once it cooled off, I could see that part of the adapter was melted. If I would had leave it plugged in more time it could have easily caused a fire. I have been using memory cards a lot, this is the first time something like this happened to me.

Received a "fake" SanDisk card. Label looked slightly blurry, not clearly printed. It was "Made in Taiwan"... Initially the card read 128 GB however adding any data to it cause read/write errors. Ran it through memory tests, attempted to format and each time it read a different size on the card. Absolute garbage. Sold by "dh-baoan" fulfilled by Amazon.
I've ordered many SanDisk cards for our camera business over the past couple years, never had this issue. However this specific model and size is often recommended for Switch users (via the Switch subreddit). I'd warn against buying this and instead going with the Samsung 128 card. Go take a look at the Switch subreddit and you'll see more and more reports/posts about getting fake versions of this card. Avoid this card for the time being, unless a better seller is available.
