Review on Silicon Power 64GB MicroSDXC UHS-1 Memory Card (Adapter Excluded) - Ideal for Dash Cam and Raspberry Pi Memory Card Compatibility by Chucky Hepler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Warning: the colored paint will be sticky and very difficult to remove. Possible fake!

Not satisfied with 32GB SP. We bought the 32GB SP based on the advertised speed performance and price compared to similar brands. Here are my problems: Design flaw: Micro SD looks nice because of the colorful graphics BUT the color on the card becomes very sticky. The ink on the memory card became so sticky that it wouldn't pull out of my Chinese fake GoPro action camera. I've tried several Micro SD cards from Sandisk and Kingston and inserted/removed them into GoPro clones without hesitation. All brand names crawled out of the memory slot very easily. The opposite can be said for the SP card as it seems that the extra layer of paint makes the card a bit thicker than the average micro SD. Add to that the extra heat generated by the action cam and the end result was I used tweezers to pry the stuck SP card out of the action cam. We bought 4 32GB SP cards and ALL cards were hard to get out of the action cam. It took several attempts to get him out of the cell. I asked a friend to run my fingers over the SP 32GB's surface and he described it as "sticky" and "a lot of surface drag". I'm starting to think we might have been given a fake card. The paint already shows signs of wear, including scratches. FYI I've only had it for 1 week. The first image shows a stuck 32GB SP card in an action camera. The second picture shows another 32GB SP on my other action cam, removed with tweezers. Note the peeling paint on the left side of the memory card and the long strip of cracked paint on the right side of the card.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.
