This microsd card performs excellently when functioning well. Opening files, copying folders and saving a lot of images/mp4 has been a breeze. Unfortunately, mine started malfunctioning last week when it refused to write files. It went to read only mode and using formatting tools or force overwrite didn't help either. Good thing you can still access the files and create a backup for it in pc. Maybe mine hit the limit after using it to store a lot of images these past few months. Overall, still a good card but maybe not built for frequent writing.

Amazing product

This card provides exactly what I have come to expect from Samsung: Perfect performance without a fuss. I was fooled into purchasing a cheap no-name card here, which was terrible. After days of fighting that card to put data on it (many reformats, etc) and only managing to use 10% of its capacity, I threw that card away (by then, the return period had passed). I then ordered this card. What a refreshing experience: I was able to get all of my data copied over from my old 256GB EVO card onto this one (~200GB) in less than 3 hours! Boom! Check Disk (CHKDSK) revealed no issues with the new card after copying everything in a single move (even though the card got warm, as you'd expect). I will Never, ever be fooled into purchasing a cheap generic card, ever again! (Both ... MoreThis card provides exactly what I have come to expect from Samsung: Perfect performance without a fuss.

Be Smart: Buy this card and save yourself headache and avoid failure and throwing away your money! Say yes to Quality! I would buy this card (or larger) again and again. I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.

Everywhere is within walking distance.....

This product fails miserably to deliver expected high speed transfers. Samsung claims file transfer speeds are UP TO 130 Mb/s. Technically, this is true, but only because any number between 0 and 130 can be considered UP TO 130. The reality from my experience is a high of 23 Mb/s, an alarming 107 Mb/s slower than the potential highest speed. Yes, I know many factors have to be considerd - internet connection, computer,etc. While my setup is far from superlative, it is certainly capable of file transfer speeds of up to 130 Mb/s. I use a Lenovo IdeaPad 3. Connection is Xfinity Broadband with speeds up to 300 Mb/s. My computer and one mobile phone are the only devices connected to the network. One star out of five is a generous rating - 20 percent of a perfect five ... MoreThis product fails miserably to deliver expected high speed transfers.

One star out of five is a generous rating - 20 percent of a perfect five star rating. The product itself delivers less than 18 percent of its alleged potential (17.69 percent of its alleged top speed). I am impressed by the enormous storage capacity (477 GB) but that is overshadowed by its dismal speed performance. Overall, performance was most important to me with this product, far outweighing features and design, resulting in a deserved one star rating. I will credit Samsung for its phrasing of "UP TO" involving transfer speed. It is not a lie, it's just unlikely to happen. In the same context, everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.

Good performance with possible flaws.

This SD Card has pretty smooth performance, however, throughout the about 2 months of use I've encountered several issues whilst using this card with my Moto G Power 2021 smartphone.So, often times while taking pictures, my phone would say switching to internal storage, so then I would have to manually switch it back to SD Card storage.And then some days ago while downloading some films onto my SD card via Amazon Prime Video, my phone shutdown and I struggled to power it back on.Sometime later I noticed that my phone could no longer view the files on the card, it indicated that there was an issue with the Samsung SD card.I removed the card from my phone and viewd the files on my laptop via an external SD card adapter usb drive when I got home.I was ... MoreThis SD Card has pretty smooth performance, however, throughout the about 2 months of use I've encountered several issues whilst using this card with my Moto G Power 2021 smartphone.So, often times while taking pictures, my phone would say switching to internal storage, so then I would have to manually switch it back to SD Card storage.And then some days ago while downloading some films onto my SD card via Amazon Prime Video, my phone shutdown and I struggled to power it back on.Sometime later I noticed that my phone could no longer view the files on the card, it indicated that there was an issue with the Samsung SD card.I removed the card from my phone and viewd the files on my laptop via an external SD card adapter usb drive when I got home.I was relieved to see that virtually all of SD Card my files were still readable.I soon copied the nearly 160+ GBs of SD card files to another drive.Only about 7 of over 10,000 photos were corrupt.I'm not sure if it was more an issue with my phone or the SD card for the corruption.However, the computer read the SD card just fine other than indicating that there was a problem with the drive/sd card, the files were accessible, unlike on the phone.I think if I used this card on an alternative device the corruption scare may of been a different story, because my Motorola G Power 2021 has had a history of ruining my files.The blue samsung EVO on my current Samsung A53 smartphone seems to be working fine so far.On physical review of the card, the card is very light, glossy and smooth. It fits snug into the Moto smartphone micro SD card tray.Inserting and especially removing the SD card from its original standard SD card adapter is a bit challenging, as the micro SD card fits a bit too snug, so removing it from its adapter involves extra effort.Thanks so much for reading my review!

Reliable storage option

The Samsung EVO Plus 512GB microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card is a high-performance storage solution for smartphones, tablets, and cameras. The card provides ample storage space and fast read/write speeds, allowing for smooth and efficient transfer of large files. I have used this card in various devices and it has never let me down, providing reliable performance and peace of mind knowing my data is safe. The included adapter makes it easy to transfer files to a computer, and the durable design of the card makes it resistant to water, extreme temperatures, and magnetic interference. Overall, I highly recommend the Samsung EVO Plus 512GB microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card to anyone in need of a high-performance and reliable storage solution.

Rivals the leaders in this media

When I need a new or bigger SD card for storage, I wait as long as possible because the $20 I spend one year usually gets me double the capacity and speed the next year. And this nice little card is no exception. Its easily double what I got last year in speed and capacity. I use to buy exclusively one brand. Lately it seems the other big names have greatly increased in quality and reliability to make them worth a try. Samsung mainly has really increased in my trust of quality and reliability in storage needs. Not buying their phones. But they have my attention for storage. The speed is as quoted and maybe a bit higher depending on the device I use it in.Another plus. White SD cards are easier to spot if they fall out while trying to load.

Samsung 256GB Micro Card Great Product

I purchased the Samsung EVO Plus 256GB Micro-SDXC storage card for my Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Tablet. This storage card worked perfectly after I installed it into my Tablet. My Samsung Tablet originally came loaded with 256GB of storage and I'm only using 20% of the internal storage. Now after I installed this SD card I have a whopping 512GB storage. I use it for storing all of my movie downloads. So far I have 53 full length movies stored on the Samsung Micro SD Card for a total of 76GB and I've only used 32% of the SD card. Wow that's awesome storage capability! There is 68% storage still available for me to store many more films. The performance of this card is extremely fast. Downloads are excellent quality and the stream is better than my tablets storage. I ... MoreI purchased the Samsung EVO Plus 256GB Micro-SDXC storage card for my Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Tablet.

Stopped working - no customer support

i bought the 512 from samsung.com, a year after using it stopped working. their "support" department is complete waste of time, they don't know anything about sd cards, they keep googling how to fix it and reading out from the screen the answers. their reps have far less technical skills than i do.getting them to replace it is impossible. supposed to have 10 years warrantee, so if it's not working, all they should do is to ask me to return it and send me a new one. pretty simple, but they won't. their system is designed to keep taking you in circles, so you give up and buy something else because you can't wait for them to get their act together.save your money and buy a product that works after a year, and the company who sells it stands by it's product and ... Morei bought the 512 from samsung.com, a year after using it stopped working. their "support" department is complete waste of time, they don't know anything about sd cards, they keep googling how to fix it and reading out from the screen the answers. their reps have far less technical skills than i do.getting them to replace it is impossible. supposed to have 10 years warrantee, so if it's not working, all they should do is to ask me to return it and send me a new one. pretty simple, but they won't. their system is designed to keep taking you in circles, so you give up and buy something else because you can't wait for them to get their act together.save your money and buy a product that works after a year, and the company who sells it stands by it's product and respects their customers.

Superb quality will purchase more!

Amazing Sd Card I use it for my Nintendo Switch. This little card works like a charm. Actually better than a charm in my case. Its already switch ready just pop it in and you're ready to go. The color of the card is cool too as it's white, sleek and futuristic. I'll more than likely purchase a few more for my other devices. The load up time is pretty fast and doesn't stutter like some other cards out there. Bestbuy's in store pickup service was amazing as well. Everyone was super helpful and polite with helping me get my product. Will shop again.

Surprising feature

I bought this few months ago.I thought I was just a normal Micro SD card, so I was reluctant to write a review until last week. I accidentally placed the little card in my pocket and it was sent for laundry!OMG! The card contained lots of important files and it was in the washer and spin dry!!I quickly checked the card after let it air dry for a day. Thank goodness, all files remained untouched when I opened it. The little card and adapter still functioning well. Thanks Samsung.I would suggest Samsung to design a little hole or slot for us to place key-chain or something for easy tracing.
