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.
