Review on πŸ“Έ Samsung EVO Select Micro SDXC Memory Card 64GB, 80MB/s (MB-ME64DA/AM) by William Wiley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good MicroSD card for the price

I actually got this MicroSD card while troubleshooting my Samsung 9 15 inch laptop (ASIN #B01AWGXNH8) as its Samsung SSD I/O errors in Ubuntu (which can be more sensitive to this than Windows) I was able to install Ubuntu on a MicroSD card and found that at the time I would have seen errors like this on an SSD there were no I/O errors, so am I'm very happy with it. The problem wasn't some sort of incompatibility with the SSD. This kind of testing also allowed me to confirm that this MicroSD card seems pretty solid. I have the 'noatime' and 'discard' options for the Ubuntu -Root partition used to improve performance and reduce unnecessary wear, and the OS seemed pretty fast. The system almost stalled when it needed a lot of swapping, but that's obviously not the fault of that microSD card. The microSD card also came with a nice microSD to SD adapter that works on another laptop I have. All in all I am happy with this purchase so far.

Pros
  • Decent performance
