Kingston Canvas Select Plus microSD Card SDCS2/32 GB Class 10 (SD Adapter Included)

Upon ordering new phones, it's a habit of mine to shove a nice shiny new memory card in its designated slot. The rule for SD cards throughout history has been decreasing outlay for increasing storage space. And so the "new phone, new card" became a habit.The great thing about trawling Amazon for memory deals is that, in general, you'll find *something* tasty if you invest a bit of time. I would *always* recommend avoiding the really scary cheapo brands - the ones with wonky company names that say something like "Doohickey SD 1Tb - £35", or similar. I tend to sail with reliable brands such as SanDisk, Kingston, PNY, etc. And you can usually find one of them has a little discount going on if you look carefully.So this time it was the Kingston, with their Canvas Select Plus. It's very easy to get bogged down with tech specs, read/write speeds and the like. But the TL;DR short-form is - if you're going for a card to store all your old photos, home videos, highly embarrassing band rehearsals from the early 90s (and you really COULD have made it big, if Nirvana hadn't stolen your thunder), or like me, a flip ton of space for my lovely new phone to spread out and feel comfy - you really don't need to worry about all the techy stuff at all.You may wish to argue the point with me. That's fine. All this is my own opinion anyway, but bleeding edge performance is for ultra demanding tasks - high res video editing, quick-succession high resolution camera images, etc, etc. Your phone is going to be more than happy with a nice SD card like the Kingston Canvas Select Plus. I've had mine for almost a month, and my phone is enjoying the extra 256Gb of room, beefing up the on-board 64Gb of storage.Performance is excellent; my data is content and not corrupted at all, the data transfer is fast enough for me to not notice it, and all is quiet on the Western front. I am very happy with my purchase, and would heartily and confidently recommend them to family, friends, and all you lovely Amazonians looking for a jolly bargain.It comes with the converter thing, which is handy if you need to swap from, say, a phone slot to a laptop slot. But this was of no use to me - everything I do is WiFi, cable, and The Tooth of Blue. So we leave the little SD in place to do it's thang, possibly for the lifetime of me lovely sparkly new Moto.And there you have it happy readers. A fine SD card with oodles of space for everything at a more than reasonable price. Enjoy!

Good value for money

Preformatted. Android optimised. For tablet or phone. Used for DVD playback. No problems.

While the item works well for photo storage, you should heed the small print before buying : " actual available capacity is less than listed on the product due to formatting and other functions".IN MY CASE BY A MASSIVE 50gb , ie 460gb not the 512gb advertised .

Nice and fast

The price was good I would get it again

Value for money, can be formatted once inserted into device. Perfect for dash cams, mobile phones, games, laptops

My previous Raspberry Pi along with its SD Card received a Power Surge and fried everything and so, I had to start over with a new setup.Due to their excellent performance, I stayed with the Kingston SD Card and bought three of these cards. One to use for my RPi, one for back-up and a third just to retain unused.My Raspberry Pi is on 24/7 and my previous setup, stayed online for 710 days without any failure, for receiving and uploading weather data.I received these SD Cards the next-day after ordering them and wrote my Linux image to them. I booted up my new RPi with this SD Card and ran thru the boot-up sequence until it showed the $ sign.There was no failure or unrecognised commands (issues in red when viewing thru HDMi Tv) as you can get with other makes of SD Cards. Yes, there are a couple of SD Cards that won't run some Linux software without giving issues.So, using the Kingston Class 10 brand of SD Card, you know you are getting a top quality and high performance card that when you write an image to it, it does it first time, without fail. You don't even need to verify the writing. You can fully rely on it to accept it first time and boot-up without any issues.Would I recommend them for RPi projects? Most definitely :)
