    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

    Kingston is good. Toshiba is the top for me. :)

    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.

    My step brother is using a 64Gb Duracell MicroSD Card from a store for poor people and it's working just fine. Some shit like that. Anything should work.
