Is it the same as the picture in the advertisement. how come the write speed is so slow. Up to 90 MB/S read, 80 MB/S write.

Original sandisk ultra:
Write: 11+mb/s
Read 14-15mb/s

Original Samsung PLUS:
Write: 16mb/s
read: 30mb/s

And for PRO:
rated: write - 20mb/s, read 70mb/s
PRO 2014 THEN IS rated: 90mb/s read, 80mb/s write

So how slow is the old pro version vs their compared rate? :):)

You also must realize that the NEW PRO 2014 VERSION IS ONLY out end of last month

I guess they are the latest competitors in the market against long known brand such as Kingston and Sandisk~

Sandisk a bit pricey though and kingston cheap but a bit slow.

So Samsung microSD fills in gap with cheap and fast card.

really meh ? I thought sandisk cheaper compared to samsung??

Both SanDisk and Samsung MicroSD are reliable based on my experience.

However, SanDisk has issues with Samsung Galaxy S4. It has no issue on S4 Mini though.

I would suggest buying depending on the device you are using the card on.

Actually Samsung phone I dun quite like. They very sensitive with brands of microSDHC and also the Usb cable. Some cable or powerbank cannot charge one.

it is not hard to print SAMSUNG EVO/PRO MICROSDXC/SDHC design on a fake microsd and high profit margin imagine produce 1 fake 64gb but use 2gb or 32gb

Then it is a even better opportunity to move on, the longer you keep the more wear and tear happens! Samsung will be everyone's safe anchor!

i guess i will take this opportunity to change then. *pray nothing happen till i get a new samsung microsdhc*

but usually the usual culprits sell fake stuff...and sometimes their customers do not know till now...ignorance is bliss :s13:

ya, for sd cards quite hard to tell whether is it fake or not from the exterior if they copy the packaging and etc well.

Read on some blog, some 'fake' are produced in the same factory as genuine product during 'ghost shift'. Same build quality but using reject memory chips from normal shift.

Did not know that there are old and new samsung pro microSDHC SDXC memory card. The write speed so much difference.

I guess my Samsung MicroSD Pro is the SLOWER version (for both read and write :( ). Since I have been using it for around 1 year by now.

Let me TRADE IN!

How can we tell when we buy from the stores btw? Packaging different?
