This may otherwise be an OK product, but you only get 461 GB of usable space. That's about 16 GB less than a 512 GB Samsung card and it's not enough to fit the usual 477 GB disk images created for other more generous cards claiming this size.

I bought it last week, and check the performance.
Looks good to me.

* Read speeds are mostly in the specification.
* Write speeds are ordinary, not fast.
* But enough for almost any smartphone if you don't want to save more than 64M photos as RAW format directly, and/or record 4K video.

I bought this to put my 100GB music library on my phone though it seems my phone struggles to read the card when I put the entire library on it. Works perfectly fine on everything except my phone.

Bought to get some more storage for the Switch and play digital games. Works great so far and this size is perfect for a chunky library of games. Bought to get some more storage for the Switch and play digital games. Works great so far and this size is perfect for a chunky library of games.

Not the fastest sd card but I knew that when I bought it. Still works in DSLR but not good for burst. This brand makes another one that is good for that.

Don't bother paying 2x the price for a brand name micro sd! Bought this for my switch lite and it works like a dream. Don't bother paying 2x the price for a brand name micro sd! Bought this for my switch lite and it works like a dream.
