The best Micro SD Cards: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Not likely related to the update since you can't format it on PC either. FWIW, pny and kingston are the only two brands of flash memory I've ever had fail on me.

Stick with Sandisk or Samsung.

Just found another 128 GB card on Amazon for $42.99: https://smile.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-128GB-microSDXC-Adapter/dp/B073JYC4XM/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1508621896&sr=1-1&keywords=sandisk+micro+sd+card

https://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-Ultra-128GB-Micro-Adapter/dp/B073JYC4XM/ref=dp_ob_title_ce

It's not really that big of a steal. Normal price is 49.99$ for the NEWER model...and it's on sale for 40-45$ on Amazon.

Get whichever of these two is cheapest:

128GB Evo Select MicroSD Card
128GB Sandisk Ultra MicroSD Card

Never go for the cheapest available. A lot of those $10 no name cards are fakes. Stick with one of the above.

For $3 more you can get twice as much storage

​

Or $6 less for the same amount of storage

the card in OP is U1 rated, meaning a guaranteed minimum speed of 10MB/s (theoretical much higher).

Instead, here's the same size card by Samsung for the same price, and it's U3 rated, meaning guaranteed minimum of 30MB/s.

> 512GB is currently the largest capacity available.

There's 1TB cards available. Crazy expensive though.

Great deals on these cards. That 512GB will probably be $50 or less by black friday.

If you are going full digital the mininum you need is 200/256GB but if you still buy physical games then 128GB is good enough. I bought one with 128GB but from Samsung because I trust them more when it comes to flash storage(Their SSDs are great) and because I have read multiple times that you can get fake ones when buying this SanDisk model even with Amazon as a seller.

Here is the Samsung model if you want to purchase one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWZWYVP/

To be honest it's far too high of a price. I bought this one: Sandisk 200GB MicroSDXC for just $50 about 1.5 months ago. Granted it's now at $77 on Amazon (though cheaper from other sellers, but be careful about counterfeits).

Still, at $77 you get a much better value instead of paying $50 for another 56GB. If you wait for it to go back down in price you can fetch it for $40-$50 which is much more reasonable (1/3 to 1/4 the price).

No problems on my end with the SanDisk :D

Edit: Updating price.

You overpaid for the "switch" microsd card. Return it if possible; 64GB cards that work with the switch at better speeds than official cards are around $20 on amazon; 128GB cards are less than $40.

128GB samsung evo select - The best card for the money right now. Fast, reliable and great price, $37. 64GB version of the above - $20.

I’m so glad you asked this question before buying. First of all, no question is silly. The daily question thread is exactly for these types of quick answer questions.

Do not buy the Nintendo official SD cards. They’re way way overpriced. I’d buy either a Sandisk or Samsung 128gb Micro SD card ($40), as that size give you best bang for the buck. I’ll link a couple below. If you want something smaller or bigger, just let me know.

I’m one of the mods here, so welcome to the subreddit!

Samsung 128gb

Sandisk 128gb

Do you mind changing the link to an Amazon Smile link? Amazon donates a tiny amount to the charity of the buyers choice.

Samsung evo select with same specs for $28 on amazon. It's been as low as $20.

Also, newegg has the red card for $30.

I'm normally all for buying OEM when possible, but with something like this, there's literally no advantage buying this over the samsung for the switch.

Samsung evo is a better sd card and goes for the same price pretty much 100% of the time https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XWZWYVP/

Don't buy SD cards in physical retail locations like bestbuy. Their "deals" are just them marking the price down to the actual online price when most of the time they are marked way up. When they do go on sale for real you'll see them for like $25-$40 on Amazon.

EDIT Here's the Sandisk one https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-microSDXC-Standard-Packaging-SDSQUNC-128G-GN6MA/dp/B010Q57S62 for the same price on Amazon. No mention of a sale while bestbuy is claiming $118 off. Just bestbuy fuckary going on there. Samsung one I linked is still better as it's rated 30MB/s minimum while the sandisk is 10MB/s minimum.

128GB micro sd is $19.99 all day with no sale....

256GB $37.99 all day https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-256GB-microSDXC-Memory-Adapter/dp/B0758NHWS8/ref=sr_1_1?fst=as%3Aoff&qid=1555810482&refinements=p_n_feature_two_browse-bin%3A13203835011&rnid=6518301011&s=pc&sr=1-1

I use a sandisk 400 GB card

Right here

Although i havent touched smash since the issue was reported because little sketched to do so after the reports.

-

^Edit: ^Keep ^in ^mind

When i first bought it, it was 200 dollars and the reviews are alot of recommended, now i look at it and price has dropped, be wary of it though now that the reviews went from being solid 4-5 star reviews to a mixed of negative and positive reviews claiming either the cards they recieve are fake/DOA and they had to contact amazon and the seller to be reimbursed/ given a replacement card that was authetic, and others claim that they got a good card right off the bat.

If you do buy this card, make sure to look online to see how to find out if you have a fake card or not.

Just trying to look out for you guys

If you don't care about the logo on the card

It seems to either break or ID as affiliate links Amazon links that have any search criteria or anything else in the URL, other than the direct URL for that page. Make sure your links look like this:

And don't have anything extra after that last string of letters and numbers.

don't worry about linking it or anything ;)

SanDisk Ultra 400GB for 78 usd on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-400GB-microSDXC-Memory-Adapter/dp/B074RNRM2B/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1551093049&sr=8-3&keywords=400gb+micro+sd+card

This wouldn't work because you would still have to store the problem of where to store the pattern for the reprogrammable matter, and if you could store the pattern, you could store the information directly (likely using less space). We already have technical solutions to store lots of information in very little space in the 21st century, think about 1TB micro SD cards. If you replaced 3.5" hard drives with those we would drastically reduce the physical space needed to store data. I'd expect they've improved on that technology a good deal long before they would create reprogrammable matter.

Deal of the day for Prime Members: SanDisk 1TB Ultra MicroSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - 120MB/s, C10, U1, Full HD, A1, Micro SD Card - SDSQUA4-1T00-GN6MA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HCPTMJG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_R89PGMV8QQJREPBVKEZE

silicon power makes decent ssds

You can usually get a 120gb Samsung MicroSD for $20 though Link to one on Amazon

Delete this. This subreddit is to save people money, not post misleading information on unsuspecting buyers to spending more money. And on top of that who would spend money on two* 64gb cards when a 128gb is obviously more suitable. Here's a link to Amazon for a 128gb card for $31.99 available nationwide and no Costco membership required.

https://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-Ultra-128GB-Micro-Adapter/dp/B073JYC4XM/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1533225980&sr=1-4&keywords=128gb+micro+sd+card&dpID=41upmOmdz1L&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

This is the lowest price for this MicroSD card ever according to CamelCamelCamel but hasn't been posted as it's own post. (At least in my search.)

Great for digital only buyers.

Sold by Amazon.

Here's the link for the 128GB version. Also at it's lowest price ever according to CamelCamelCamel.

Stupid article. The only microsd cards you need for the switch:

128GB Samsung Evo Select MicroSD Card
128GB Sandisk Ultra MicroSD Card

Just go for the required size. No need for an article to tell you that. Avoid budget cards, and most definitely avoid the "official" cards.
