Summing it up nicely. Good article!

I would like to see the same evaluation for SDHC and SDXC cards.

Jumped on this article as soon as I saw it cause I wanted to upgrade my micro SD card for a long time! However, why are there only 3 cards recommended with no runner ups? And no mention of the Sandisk Extreme A2 model? I bought that one (256gb model) as it's the only A2 card on the market I could find and man is it fast! It should have been your performance pick, not just another Samsung Evo Select!

You are right. Our high performance recommendations were not bad, but they were not covering the whole picture (intended use). We have updated those accordingly.

Amazon has a 1TB micro sd card for $37. "Ex Card Class 10"

Is that a scam or are off brands coming way down in price?

Why does your "Best Value Micro SD Card" cost more per Gigabyte than your runner up?
