I know you can probably catch this listing cheaper on one of the sale days that happens every so often. But overall if you live in BFE like I do, and have to go extremely out of your way to a Walmart at the best scenario, for the possibility they don’t even have what you need with select specs you need, could be out of stock, or just don’t carry what you are looking for. It’s just simpler to shop online, and order it and forget it, at least until it arrives.
Overall I can’t complain one bit with this purchase! Got exactly what I was looking for, and even needed, price was fine, quality was good, specs was solid, everything was good! So yeah solid buy in all honesty. Fully recommend.
The card offers an impressive 512GB of storage capacity, providing ample space for storing photos, videos, music, and other files. It boasts read speeds of up to 160MB/s and write speeds of up to 90MB/s, making it ideal for capturing and transferring high-resolution content quickly.
The memory card is also durable and can withstand various environmental conditions, including water, temperature, shock, and X-ray. It comes with an adapter, allowing you to use it with devices that support standard SD cards.
Customers who purchased this product are generally pleased with its performance and reliability. Many users appreciate the large storage capacity and fast data transfer speeds, especially when capturing high-quality photos and videos. Some users also mention that the card works well with drones, GoPros, and other action cameras.
Overall, the SanDisk 512GB Extreme microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter is a top-of-the-line product that offers impressive storage capacity and fast performance, making it an excellent choice for anyone who needs reliable and high-performance storage for their digital devices.
First is price, the Amazon basics is a several dollars less than the SanDisk (at this moment 23.72 vs 36.99). Currently Amazon says there is a newer version of the SanDisk for 24.85, however I have not purchased or tested the newer version.
The two cards:
"SanDisk 256GB Extreme microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - Up to 160MB/s, C10, U3, V30, 4K, A2, Micro SD - SDSQXA1-256G-GN6MA"
"Amazon Basics microSDXC Memory Card with Full Size Adapter, A2, U3, Read Speed up to 100 MB/s, 256 GB"
Tested using:
CrystalDiskMark 5.5.0 x64.
Computer is a 4-year-old "NUC8i7HVK" running Windows 10, and it has a built in SD card reader (Intel calls it "SDXC with UHS-I support"). This interface is what I call "SD reader" in the accompanying screen captures.
I also tested using a SanDisk USB 3 adapter "SanDisk MobileMate USB 3.0 microSD Card Reader- SDDR-B531-GN6NN". This interface is what I call USB3 in the accompanying screen captures.
First, I noticed a UK review where the reviewer noted the Amazon basics card seems to be missing 5 gigabytes of storage even when the (confusing) translation from computer storage gigabytes (1024 x 1024 x 1024 = 1,073,741,824 bytes vs 1000 x 1000 x 1000 = 1,000,000,000 bytes) vs "we sell storage" gigabytes.
You will notice CrystalDiskMark reports the Amazon basic card as 233GiB versus the 238GiB of the SanDisk, so he is very correct. I have no clue why the discrepancy, but it is slightly smaller than it should be.
Second, to get the real read/write speed of the SanDisk card, you will notice I had to use the SanDisk USB 3 adapter. Using the built in SD card reader, both cards were very close to identical results.
Using the SanDisk USB 3 adapter, I did manage to exceed the ratings for the SanDisk card (up to 160 MB/s read, and up to 90 MB/s write) giving 169 read and 105 write. The Amazon basic card did have a slight change using the SanDisk adapter, but really not significant.
Both cards were close enough to their claimed specs to not worry about it, however it should be noted that you need the SanDisk adapter to actually get the much higher speeds of the SanDisk.
I will be using the Amazon basic card to store children's movies for my granddaughter to play on her new Kindle, it is plenty fast enough reading to do full HD movies.
Note that both cards were brand new when tested and had never had anything written or read from them prior to the test. The Amazon basic seems a good value and is certainly adequate for normal use in a cell phone or laptop. The SanDisk would really shine if you used the adapter to move lots of larger files to it.
Older review:
I've now purchased this card 3 times from Amazon (as seller) and I'm very satisfied. Used in Moto g7 and Moto g7 power phones with excellent results!
Mine was sold by Amazon, and certainly is a fast card. Installed in a Moto G7, tested at 89 read, 59 write using A1 SD benchmark for android. Maybe not the rated speed, but Motorola phones have a history of bad SD compatibility. Tested others, and this card is significantly faster. Very happy with the product.
Note that I've attached some results testing on a PC with a Lexmark reader, thus it doesn't attain its full speed.

Top reviews from other countries
Using this card was a real pleasure. Its high transfer speed allowed me to move and access my files quickly, which is crucial when you don't want to waste a moment. However, I noted that in extreme conditions its performance may fluctuate slightly.
In terms of quality, the SanDisk Extreme does not disappoint. It resists shock, water and extreme temperatures, making it a perfect choice for adventurers. Its performance is up to par, with competitive read and write speeds.
Highlights: high speed, durable, large storage capacity.
Cons: Slightly inconsistent performance in extreme conditions, somewhat high price.
Compared to other microSD cards on the market, the SanDisk Extreme stands out for its speed and reliability. However, for those looking for a more economical option, brands like Kingston or Samsung offer interesting alternatives.
To maintain its performance, I recommend formatting the card regularly and storing it in a dry place at room temperature.
Technical details
- Capacity: up to 1 TB.
- Reading speed: up to 160 MB/s.
- Resistance to the elements: waterproof, shock and temperature resistant.
For optimal performance, use this card with devices that support UHS-I. It is ideal for recording and playing 4K videos.
The SanDisk Extreme microSDXC memory card is an excellent choice for those looking for speed and reliability. It represents a safe investment for enthusiasts of photography, videography or simply to increase the storage of their smartphone.
