Review on πŸ“· Amplim Micro SD Card 256GB (2021) - Extreme High Speed 170MB/S A2 MicroSDXC U3 Class 10 V30 UHS-I with Adapter for Nintendo Switch, GoPro Hero, Surface, Phone, Camera Cam, Tablet by Jesse Azuse

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Faster write speeds than the competition

MicroSD Amplim 256GB looks pretty much like any other generic MicroSD card, except it costs a little more than competing generic and well-known brands. negative rating based on cost, but did some research (because it made no sense to cost more): research found write speed to be well above average, which is great (and worth paying a little extra for). ). Tested both inside and outside the SD adapter. There is a slight performance hit in the adapter, but very little; You might lose 1 or 2 MB/s reading and writing. Compared to the Samsung SD card adapter, the drop was the same, which tells me that the Amplim adapter works well. Read performance is pretty close to the 100MB/s advertised on the box, hitting around 92-93MB/s. Write performance, as in most cases, isn't openly advertised, but I consistently get around 86 MB/s. Which is very nice. Other 256GB microSD cards from Lexar, Pioneer, SanDisk, etc. claim write speeds of up to 60MB/s (some only up to 30MB/s). This map. My only complaint is the purple text on the black plastic, which makes it pretty hard to read (if you have several and are trying to check capacity). Overall it deserves 5 stars and I hope the price doesn't put people off buying it as it offers more performance than other microSD cards.
