Hey guys,

So yesterday my Sandisk micro sd card died on me. I'm going to buy a new one today but I'm debating wether I should get another Sandisk micro sd card or maybe get a Kingston micro sd card. The only reason I'm considering the Kingston micro sd card is do to its price. These are my two options:

256 gig Kingston (80 MB/s read, 10MB/s write) for $69
200 gig Sandisk (90 MB/s read, 48MB/s write) for $69

Both of these micro sd cards are class 10 UHS-I

Is anyone using a Kingston sd card? And if so, how's its speed?
Has anyone used both? And if so, did you notice any differences?

I have used kingston, sandisk, Toshiba and Samsung.
Honestly speaking, real life performance is hardly noticeable.

My class 10 UHS-3 Toshiba 128GB is slightly faster than the Class 10 UHS-1 200GB.

I woudnt have noticed the difference if my brother and I werent playing the same game side by side.

Cool, good to know, thanks!

I read that the switch only has a max read for UHS-I micro sd cards, so there's no point to buy the ultra fast micro sd cards

Im using 256 gig Kingston (80 MB/s read, 10MB/s write) ExFat format and it is considerably OK in my case. It crashes sometimes like 5-6 times in the last two months(I use my switch for 6-8 hours everyday) but it doesn't corrupt the memory card. though I had an experience where I corrupt the whole memory card because I tried installing homebrew apps like retroarch.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
