Patriot 256GB A1 / V30 Micro SD Card for Android Phones and Tablets, 4K Video Recording - PEF256GEP31MCX

I had a great experience with this memory card. It arrived well-packaged and in perfect condition. The speed is impressive, making it ideal for my Nintendo Switch. I haven’t encountered any issues so far, and it works flawlessly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and fast storage solution.

I have six outdoor 2K security cameras around my house that use microSD cards for 24 hr continuous local recording. Long-run, local recording is substantially less expensive than internet recording, so I go that route. I've been using 128GB cards for years. I've needed to use those 128GB cards for my action cams/drones, plus I don't need 128GB of storage as one month of storage only amounts to about 32GB of storage with my newer security cams and their efficient recording (HEIC). I was looking for a lowest cost solution in 64GB cards, yet didn't want to go with some unknown brand. I've used Patriot Memory before in my Mac laptops with good success, so figured these memory cards would be decent as well. Their construction seems top notch, and they format quickly and easily in my security cameras. They fit well in the cameras and retain the data as expected. At a cost of $18 for five 64GB cards that are 4K video recording capable, they more than meet my needs at the lowest cost possible ($3.60 each). All boxes checked! They are working well, and I'm glad to have found these to use in my security cameras. They shipped in a small cardboard envelop, inside plastic protective holders, one holding four cards, the other, one card. I highly recommend these Patriot Memory microSD cards.

cheap and efficient, it does the job for my cheap security cameras

(See Edit at end) Original: 5/8/2019 I normally use Samsung cards. They tend to be the fastest, most reliable, but not always the cheapest. After realizing I needed a second 256GB card after having just bought one at $45 dollars, I find the price went up to $50 within 48 hrs. Call me stubborn and cheap, but I looked for a better deal. This was about $35, and is advertised with the same or similar specs as the Evo Select cards with a $10-$15 dollar (less) price difference. Unfortunately, a lot of reviews suggest duds or failures are common, so I never felt inclined to purchase one before due to the idea of data loss. However, I'm using this in a tablet, not my phone, and the data will be replaceable so I decided to give it a try. I used an Anker usb 3.0 adapter on a USB 3.0 port via an Asus Maximus ROG VIII (iirc) mobo running Win10 Pro transferring from an internal mechanical archive drive. Not the fastest drive, but a one way will give top speeds in the 100MB/s range easy. I tested it with 195GB worth the data to check capacity authenticity and average (stable) write speeds. Capicity is authentic, no data corruption. Write speeds averaged 66MB/s, dropping to 54MB/s and back (lots of dip and peak, not a solid stable 66MB/s most of the time) with a max peak at 102MB/s for a couple seconds at the start of a transfer. Considering I get 60-76MB/s with the Evo Select cards, I'd say this passes my tests with flying colors. I didn't have the patience to test the read speeds, nor to use a benchmark tool. What Windows reports back is enough info for my purposes as I'm not reviewing this professionally, I'm just a consumer looking for reliability at an affordable price whom is inclined to share his findings with others so as they can make an informed choice. Now, we wait. Some reviews are suggesting failure at the 30-78 day range, well out of return period. I don't know what Patriot's warranty service is like, and hopefully I won't have to find out. If after two months this thing is still kranking, I'll be back with a 5th star. Hopefully I won't be back with a report of failure. If you're going to be dropping this into a tablet for movies or something, go for it. If you're going to use it in your phone where data reliability is a concern (pics of the kids and family is a big one for me), read the user reviews here, read some professional reviews, and make an informed choice before you buy. Edit: 5/29/2019 I have my Samsung Evo 256GB card and this Patriot 256GB card side by side in Windows (10) and my capacity is listed as 232GB VS 238GB on the Samsung, both are exFAT. Where are the other 6 gigs? I won't even get started on these card/drive manufacturers claiming "formatting" is why you end up with 232GB of usable space and not the advertised 256GB (again, where are the other 24GB?!). I won't dock it a star for this, the card has actually been performing as well as my Evo card. Just keep an eye on your reported capacities.

I use it for my security cameras and they work perfectly.

So far so great! Very satisfied with these as my storage cards in 4 Wyze cam v3's. 2 weeks in and they are still doing great. All the other cheap ones i've tried in the past have been dead by now. Highly recommend.

Very satisfied with this product. Using in solar outdoor cameras. Easy to install & format. Recommend

Decided to give these 256gig mirco cards a try after buying a few more security cameras for inside the house. About 1 month in, one camera suddenly lost access to the card. Odd.... I removed it, reinstalled it. Camera still said card needed to be formatted to work. Well... it was already formatted and had been working just fine, till it wasn't. A week later it happened again in a different camera. Not just a different camera but a different camera brand. Same exact thing happened. Lost my videos and had to reformat. Then a week later it happened again...ready? In again, a different camera. Then the next day, one of the cameras it happened to initially, had it happen again. Not worth the headache buying cheap micro cards! I have cards in cameras for 8 years, never had to do this. Lucky for me these are inside cameras as the others are all outside and not easy to access. Buy a name brand and save yourself a headache. Lesson learned!
