Review on πŸ’Ύ Amazon Basics 64GB microSDXC Memory Card - A2/U3, Full Size Adapter, 100 MB/s (2-Pack) by Kenny Marozas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Slightly cheaper than Samsung and SanDisk

Read and write speeds are about on par with SanDisk, maybe a little slower than Samsung, but only minimally - nothing for you to notice that you actually use it . Durability is really the only other differentiator here, but until something breaks, all you have is a reputation to keep going. There is a serious risk of premature failure with cheap non-branded ones and the difference in price is usually not enough to justify the risk. As such, I always recommend sticking with SanDisk, Samsung, and Kingston and avoiding anything else. With the basics of Revain, it's hard to tell who actually made them, but I suspect it's SanDisk based solely on the fact that it's the most popular brand and the price is pretty close. I haven't done any serious forensic analysis, but if this SanDisk IS is perfect for 99.9% of use cases. The 0.1% where I wouldn't recommend SanDisk is if the device has analog circuitry that is susceptible to electrical noise (e.g. Everdrive, optical drive emulators, legacy digital music players). SanDisk is electrically very noisy, but most all-digital devices (like digital cameras and cell phones) are unaffected.

Pros
  • Easy-to-read control panel
Cons
  • New competition is here
