Worked as expected

I bought this initially for $80 in mid-August. Now it's about $65 >.>Anywho, this sd card is amazing. I specifically got the "Game" version of the SD card, compatible with game systems like the Steam Deck and Switch. It's an A2 card with faster read/write speeds than A1 cards, like the SanDisk Ultra for instance. Loaded it up on my Switch and half is full already which is a good sign.Read and write speeds float around 30-35mb/s from testing via h2testw on Windows 10. Tested ALL of the available space, so I can vouch it's an authentic 1TB card.Installation is very simple. Just plop it into the card reader on your device and it shows up automatically. This surprised me since previous cards wouldn't be detected so easily.Something to note. You will not be using ALL of the 1TB card. It's merely a metric of measurement for SD card manufacturers to round it to a more appealing number. Think of it as marketing.Realistically, you'll be getting 923GB instead of the marketed 1,000GB's. So, "IT'S A SCAM" am I right? No, I'm actually not. The rest of the storage capacity is used for storage memory since you'll be inserting and taking out 923GB's worth of files constantly. That's normal and it happens with every other sd card size. 400GB cards for instance, you're only getting 366GB available.There's also the fact some devices measure storage units differently. An example, my card shows 665GB available while on my Nintendo Switch it only shows 620GB.It's practical and necessary for the most efficient use of the card.History Lesson:There have been prototypes of 1TB cards in the works for years, but it never became finalized. At least it hadn't until 2019 when the first ever 1TB SD cards would reach the market from both Lexar and SanDisk respectively. This was a large leap over the previous highest, 512GB cards.You can imagine the price, right? $100? $200? $350? It was actually priced around $450-$500 initially. Think about that. $500 for a 1TB SD card.And in 2023, this is the first time these cards have dipped below $100 making them very affordable now. $80 is already an excellent deal, but for $65? That's an immediate buy!As for this card, would I recommend it? Absolutely. It's fast, efficient, and about 15% of what they cost 4 years ago.Thanks for reading :)

I threw this thing into my steamdeck and I am so glad that I did. The system did not have enough memory and this is compatible for the device. You just pop it in the slot to install it and steam games run fast enough to play without issue.

I purchased this to get more space in my Nintendo switch. It's about as fast as the card it replaced but that card was from when I first got my switch years ago. It was a great value and I appreciate it for what it is. It's been in my switch for a few months now.

As soon as I put this damn thing in my device my whole device started acting strange until it didn’t work at all a couple days later. Had to take it to bestbuy to get repaired, got it back it turns on fine and everything but hasn’t been the same since. Literally just got my ROG to and this happens not even a month later. (Pretty sure it downloaded some kind of virus or something onto my device when I inserted it.)

I purchased this for my Steam deck so I could expand its memory and it works perfectly. It’s a really great price and it delivers of more space to same games and also speed when loading games. Don’t be put off by the cheaper price, this things works great.

The media could not be loaded. I like that they came as two single retail packs, as you get two micro SD cards and two SD adapters. I'll update the review if the speed and reliability of the cards becomes an issue.
