Top positive review

Great microSD card. High quality and dependable.

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2017

I lost count how many Samsung microSD cards I have bought so far though the years but as with all the others, this Samsung card is fast and great! I've wanted this card for a while and I finally pulled the trigger when the price went down and became more reasonable to me.

This card first served inside my Galaxy S7 Edge and it is now inside my Galaxy S8+.

The card works well, it is speedy, and it has been dependable.

I highly recommend it!!

I tried all the cheap imitations and they just did not work.

I have a Dell Venue Pro 11 7140, which is the Dell competitor to the Surface Pro. It may be called a tablet, but it's really a small laptop with a removable keyboard. I wanted to make it a pick up and go replacement for my laptop for convenience, but to do that I really needed to sync all my files (on my laptop I have a 256GB partition where I put all files.. documents, music, pictures, etc.). I use software called GoodSync to keep files replicated wirelessly across multiple devices (for backups, etc.). The Venue has a maximum 256GB SSD built in. Since it has an SDXC slot, I thought I could get a flash card and use it with BitLocker encryption. And wow, you can get 256GB SDXC cards for between $15 and $50 on the internet. NOT.

Each card I tried was pure... hmmmmmm. I guess I can't use the word I'm thinking of to describe something that flat out doesn't work. Synchronization was a challenge. Files would repeatedly fail CRC check after being written and GoodSync would have to try many times. Thank goodness I never enabled 2-way synchronization because as soon as I used them or rebooted, they would become corrupted. When I re-analyzed with GoodSync, they would again fail CRC check even when they had not been touched. And getting refunds from the sellers. HAH... Thank goodness I purchased most of them using PayPay and they handled it for me. But I'm still out $50.00 that I never could get back.

I was about to give up on my great idea when Samsung released the 256GB EVO. I did some research and found it to get good reviews. It was a bit expensive, but I wasn't quite ready to give up on my plan. Since Amazon is great at refunds when you are unhappy, I decided to go for it. I’m glad I did.

This card just works. It’s fast and reliable. Now I have my pick up and go “tablet.” If I’m out and about and someone at work needs a file from 2003, I jump into Outlook, attach the file and send. Then I pick my glass of wine back up, take a sip and gaze out over the Pacific.  Plus, I have a very convenient backup if something catastrophic really does happen to my laptop.

2016, it’s amazing. A 256GB disk no bigger than my fingernail. But the old adage still holds true, you get what you pay for. Don’t cheap out if you value the data you’re writing to the card. Just go with Samsung. .

Very nice but insert before you set up the phone and convert your data

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2017

Works. No noticeable issues. I think you should insert this before you set up your phone or move data from your old phone. Galaxy 6 to Galaxy S8 in my case. If you don't the phone creates a SDDATA area (or something like that) and puts all your converted stuff in main memory there. I was able to move what I knew about to this card after the fact but learned way more about the file structure on Android than I needed to. This reduced my main memory utilization to under 20 G whereas it was over 40.

Can hold copious amounts of picture and video. I bought one for my Galaxy S7 and it has worked great.
I take a lot of 1080p 60FPS videos and 4k or "close-to" 4k pics, and this card has plenty of room for them. Also, it's one of the few 256GB cards that is fast enough to "write" or take 4K videos.
Google play says I have around 36.7GB of music saved on the card.
I believe I also have a few apps on it as well.
In conclusion, it's a memory card, if fast, it has lots of space and it's been reliable.
It is on the expensive side, but in time it will come down in price like all the cards before it.

Looking good so far

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2017

It is too early to say I love it with 5 stars, but it works great so far. As with any Micro SD storage the final star only comes from how long it lasts in actual use in my new Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus. This means while I cannot give it 5 stars right now, it well might earn that final star over time.

More than what I need.

It performed well in my Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe. Read speed using my mobile is 68.61 MB/s, write speed is 48.14MB/s as testing with A1 SD Benchmark app. Using a Windows 10 desktop with a USB 3.0 port gave better results with 85 read and 80 MB/s write (see screenshot).

I'm using this exclusively for my mobile (except when I'm transferring photo and videos to my desktop). Everything is fast. Taking pictures with Asus' burst mode was no problem - saving all 20 photos in the burst took only an extra second from releasing the shutter. Offline data with Google Maps feels like it was saved in the internal memory, and documents loaded fast. But I did have one app that was slow to load files - Offline Dictionaries Pro. I only have 2 dictionaries installed, but I estimate the load time to take almost 6-7 seconds.

As for the amount of storage, it's more than enough. I've started using the SD card December 2016. As of writing (March 2017), I've only used 15GB out of it's 256GB. I would have used more storage if my mobile would let me install games on the SD card, though.

as it doesn't seem to like my good old Lexar

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2016

Verified Purchase

I was looking for a proper piece to feed my new Note4 with, as it doesn't seem to like my good old Lexar. 256GB standard size that served me reliably for 3 years (and still counting) inside two of the Note predecessors through the 2 and on to the 3 until this very moment as of writing this review. While the spoiled Note4 agreed to take this Lexar (other capacities of Lexar work just fine) about 2 occasional attempts and refused the rest with "corruption error", Note3 keeps taking it as before and I'm able again to access all my data in there. That was about the time I decided to get rid of those bulky fragile SD adapters and keep my phone rugged yet in shape, rather than re-shape it. I paid some extra fees to get this shiny card which I had no doubt to perfect match the Note4, and the little beast is happy again. No disappointments whatsoever, Speeds look correct reading about 90MB/s and writing at about 30MB/s (may vary), Owned it for a month now and surely it will last for long.

Works for storage in GPD Win. Many of my games lag when playing from it though, and are better put onto a flash drive or SSD stick.

Games that don't work well on it:
ARMA: Cold War Assault / Operation Flashpoint: Resistance
Blitzkrieg (crashed when launching)
Ghost Recon (3-5 second lag when trying to run, fire weapon, etc.)
Rainbow Six 3

Games that work well enough on it:
Civilization IV and V
Company of Heroes
HuniePop
Jagged Alliance 2
Rainbow Six
Sunrider Academy

The best as of mid 2016, fantastic for Galaxy Note or for Astell & Kern devices

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought two of the 256 GB cards a month ago,
They have been working like a charm in my:
- Galaxy Note 3 (now I can store even more music; I will probably upgrade to the Note 7)
- Astell & Kern AK240, bringing the total storage of my AK240 to about a half terabyte.

This card is superior to the others in the following respects:
- it is currently the biggest re. storage (the next cards have only 200 GB)
- it is very fast, however to really take advantage of the writing speed I found out that the best is to put the card into a fast external USB 3.0 card reader (I tried a few before finding faster ones, many are slow) which is worth doing when you are transferring huge amounts of data or reorganizing your directories.

I am looking forward towards the 512 GB micro sdxc now that Samsung has announced that they have succeeded in making prototypes by topping over each other even more layers of 3D memory cells.

Don't be fooled by fakes and counterfeit cards, this is the real thing!

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2017

MicroSD cards are like mini hard drives. They can be bought in some places for $5 - However those are going to probably not hold near as much data as this card does. Some are just fake products. I had gone to some sites and tried to get the less expensive substitutes but spend nearly as much as this on fake and counterfeit cards. This card is fast, on my phone I get 40 Mb per second and it is 256GB and anything you want to use it for it will allow you to use it for that. Samsung has an awesome card and if you can accept it in your device, you won't go wrong with it.
