The genuine Samsung Evo Select line of Micro SD cards are great. They are reliable and they live up to the speed and capacity classifications they claim to. I've been using Samsung cards for years and they are the only brand that consistently doesn't give me any issues year after year. This 32GB card is no exception. However, by default the card is formatted as FAT32, but I prefer exFAT as FAT32 won't allow you to transfer a folder containing more than 4GB to the card. That's annoying if you are moving data from an old card to a new one. FAT32 has 4GB file size limitations, but on a transfer it recognizes a directory containing lots of files as 1 thing, and applies the 4GB limit. This will give you an error (in Windows anyway) that there isn't enough space available for the transfer. But if you copy the files individually it works fine. Or just format the card to exFAT and it will accept the folder that exceeds 4GB easily. exFAT will work just fine in an Android phone as well (Android 5.1 or higher. Earlier versions may have some issues with the exFAT formatting) This card handles full HD Video at 60FPS without faulting. It's write speeds are fine to use for HD video. But be sure to authenticate the card upon arrival to make sure it's a genuine Samsung card with the stated capacity. Micro SD cards are a favorite thing for fraudsters to counterfeit because it's cheap and easy to do it. In the past the regular Evo line of Samsung cards (the white and orange colored ones) where the popular cards to counterfeit. Though with these higher grade cards (Evo Select line with the white and green color scheme) starting to be more popular......well it behooves anyone buying a new SD card to check it's authenticity upon arrival. The 2 tone fade of the green coloring adds an additional anti-counterfeiting measure over the previous solid colors. This makes it more expensive to counterfeit a Samsung card convincingly. What happens is that fraudulent card makers will take a 4GB Class 1 card that costs $1 to make, and hack the control chip that tells the computer what the capacity of the card is so your computer thinks it's a much larger card. Your computer will even try to write well over 4GB of data, but the data doesn't actually go anywhere. It's the same idea as putting a 100 gallon label on a 10 gallon bucket. You can pour 100 gallons into it, but 90 of those gallons are just going to flow out over the top and be lost forever. Below are some steps to help you ensure that you get a legitimate Samsung card. ❖ For the last several years Samsung has made it's micro SD cards with white plastic. That means the actual card itself behind the colorful label on front is white. You can see the white plastic on the sides. Fake cards are almost always all black, because they are generically produced low cost cards that are given a fancy Samsung looking label on the front. If the card you get it black ON THE SIDES, it's not a Samsung. White plastic is more expensive to make, and fraudsters are all about doing it cheap. (See my images below of a real Samsung card with the white sides and back showing) The back should be black. The sides should be white. And the front should be colorful with the 2 tone green fade. ❖ Buy only from reputable vendors. Amazon is a reliable vendor. And if there is a problem, they will take it back without hassle. There are dozens of other 3rd party vendors who are just as trustworthy. But make sure you are buying from one of those. Read their seller feedback. If there are numerous complaints from people who bought fake capacity cards or even cards that didn't work properly, find a different seller. ❖ Make sure the listing looks right. This one is fine. It's a legitimate Samsung card. (I've personally bought it and tested it) But scammers will post nearly identical looking listings on Amazon that have cards that look nearly identical buy don't have the Samsung logo at the top. (Recently another scammer replaced Samsung with Sanshen on fake cards. Other than that they were identical. They used the same font any everything, including the A in Samsung that doesn't have the bar in the middle) ❖ Be careful of the price. If the price of the card you are looking at is significantly below the price of other listings for similar capacity cards, something is wrong. One of the biggest tricks scammers play is to make the price WAY lower than it should be in hopes of getting you to spend more time looking at the price tag than looking at the other things that don't add up right on the listing. Unusually low priced flash storage almost never works out well. ❖ Test the card once you buy it! Regardless of who you buy your Micro SD card from or what brand it is, test it out. A thorough way to test it is with a utility app called "h2testw". You can download it free. Just do a search for it on any search engine and you'll find it. That app writes single bit data to the drive until it's full, then it reads that data back to make sure it's readable. It will tell you what the actual capacity of this disk is. The default language on that utility is German, but you can switch to English easily. It is not fast. It will take about 45 minutes to test a 32GB card, and several hours to test a 256GB card. Just run it overnight and check the results in the morning. This is smart to do even if you have no doubts that you have an authentic Samsung (or other brand name) product. Sometimes things go wrong in manufacturing and quality control and a dud gets through. An app like h2testw will verify that your legitimate brand name card is working properly. And if it's not, you'll know right away while you are still in your 30 day exchange window.

Only the 256GB and 512GB versions are rated for 90MB/s write speeds

Another user review points out that their 128GB Samsung EVO Select card is only rated for 60MB/s write speeds. If you look under the "From the manufacturer" part of the product description with the 64GB version of the card selected you will see that it states that it is rated for write speeds up to 20MB/s. The 128GB shows write speeds of up to 60MB/s. And both the 256GB and 512GB versions show write speeds of up to 90MB/s. All of the cards have a read speed of up to 100MB/s. Just wanted to point this out for clarification. I am not a fan of the way Amazon groups the reviews of multiple versions of the same product into one big confusing mess but it's the world we live in I guess. All in all it's a great card and exactly what I expected!

Authentic product

You should be very careful when buying SD cards online. One way I knew this listing was legitimate was by checking the merchant during order review, mine showed as "Amazon.com Services LLC". Upon arrival I checked the packaging which had no misprints, and the micro SD card graphics were crisp and had white sides, the model number on the packaging also matched the model written on the card's backside, all pointing to a legitimate item. Last test was speed and storage test, everything checked out in terms of storage but my speeds were a little slower but I am attributing this to my very old laptop. Writing speed: 65.8 MByte/s Reading speed: 71.7 MByte/s You can trust this listing, as long as the seller shows up as "Amazon.com Services LLC"

Bought for Nintendo Switch

I bought this Micro SD card to put in my Nintendo Switch. Product came in orignal packaging. I first plugged it in to my computer just to verify that it actually was 512. So far this has worked great for my switch, it's a very large sized memory card but games do add up. I haven't tested read/write speeds but I don't feel like I'm waiting that long to play games. I've already filed up around half of this SD card. If you buy more physical games than digital then this card will work great for your Nintendo Switch. I buy games on sale when they are on the eshop. IF you find this review helpful, take a literal second to mark this review as helpful. Thanks!

Switch must use FAT32

Using 256 for switch. Tried formatting with card in switch using Nintendo option. Wouldn’t work. Could move my save data from previous card but when inserting into switch got an error. Formatted again using SD memory card formatter using overwrite. Could move old save data on Mac but when putting back into switch (switch lite) sane error. So narrowed it down and got it to work with using Mac disk utility. Format erase using FAT32 and it works now with my Nintendo switch lite. Summary. Format using computer to FAT32. ExFAT will give you errors. Must use computer if you want to move old save data to new card for switch.

Perfect for the Nintendo Switch

This card is probably the one of the best you can get for the price and is definitely worth it. I use this card for my switch bought a ton of games and still have about half the space left it's way more than enough. It also the has the same read/write speed as the Sandisk Nintendo branded micro SD cards and those cards cost at most about $100 and only go up to 256gb. Overall this is one of the better deals right now for micro SD cards and you should definitely think about investing in this card. Note: I noticed there were many other review saying that these cards didn't come with the correct amount of storage so I thought I might let everyone know what the high capacity cards actually let you use: 128gb=116gb-119gb useable 256gb=238gb useable 512gb= 476gb useable

Card is authentic. Verified with the "Samsung Memory Card/UFD Authentication Utility"

I only buy Samsung SD cards. I verify them all with Samsung's software called "Samsung Memory Card/UFD Authentication Utility." This is a review for the 128GB EVO Select.

Super great quality and performance!

I have already purchased 5 of the EVO series of both 128 and 256 GB. I have used them on 4 different devices and they have performed flawlessly on all of them. DJI Osmo Action @4k60fps 100mbps DJI Osmo Pocket @4k60fps 100mbps Panasonic Lumix Gh5 @4k24fps 10bit and 4k60fps 8bit 150mb VAVA Dashcam @1080p60fps very low bit rate (I don't know the exact bit rate) On all of them I was able to record unlimited without any of the sd cards failing. (on the gh5 I only recorded for 20 mins straight without a problem and the I stopped it) On the gh5 I have 2 of 256gb, but I set it to record to both sd cards at the same time (as backup) and it gives 3h46m meaning that it would allow me to record almost 7h30m if I had it on relay recording (filling one first and then the other) I fell in love with these SD cards and I would totally recommend them! UPDATE: 07-13-2020 I recorded 1 hour and 20 minutes on my gh5 @4k24fps 10bit 150mbps (87gb file appx) and 1 hour and 30 minutes @4k60fps 8bit 150mbps and there were no issues.

'sfdisk -J /dev/sdb1' {"partitiontable": {"label":"dos","id":"0x00000000","device":"/dev/sdb","unit":"sectors","sectorsize":512,"partitions": [{"node":"/dev/sdb1", "start":65536, "size":500629504, "type":"7"}]}}. 'udisksctl info -b /dev/sdb1 | grep IdUUID' IdUUID: 9C33-6BBD. Be sure to reformat these Samsung EVO Select cards before putting the card into use. The factory default MBR is zero-ID, and exFAT filesystem on partition one on all cards have the same Volume Serial Number; this is lazy manufacturing process and is problematic if using multiple cards in the same system. A zero-ID MBR is not likely to cause problems however the exFAT VSN should be unique. The factory exFAT filesystem copied onto these cards isn't even cleanly-unmounted; I wouldn't trust this card with anything important until you secure erase followed by partition and format. As noted above in the sfdisk JSON output the first partition is aligned to 512-byte sized sector number 65536 (32MiB), additionally the first 446 bytes of MBR are zero-value so there's nothing extra or nefarious hidden in there. Summary: Good card, get the 256GB or larger size for best performance, and don't forget to re-partition and format before use.

Real Samsung SD card!

I don't know why some people gave that product a 1 star but the card is really good. I'm using it for my Samsung galaxy a51 phone and it works great
