How sure about reliability when those expensive SD card you buy come from the same OEM manufacturer? How long do you plan to use those SD cards before deciding to replace them for larger capacities?

1 year? 2 year? Or you plan to use it forever?

Worth paying double?

64GB cards at most I'll pay is no more than RM30 even for popular branded ones true class-10 rated(10MB/s rated sequential writing more than enough for standard HD recording).

You willing to pay more than RM50 for a 64GB card? I have nothing to say about your decision.

I use my sdcards until they fail which is definitely more than 2 years.
I do not replace them for the sake of bigger capacity but because its cheaper price/gb for the bigger capacity.

So the warranty they give is for wayang?
Yes, worth paying double for peace of mind.

Can share link of the oems you bought from? Plan to buy 1 and try

Try finding them on Lazada and AliExpress, don't use Shopee for direct China OEMs less reliable..



Some of them look like Samsung/Sandisk/Kingston with same colors but different brands on them. They're not counterfeit cards but rebranded unsold branded OEMs that needs stock clearance.

It's a bargain if you can get it cheap but luck. Sometimes they're real branded ones on stock clearance but are defects/faulty (not being able to store its rated capacity) some are lower capacity but manufacturing defects printed with wrong capacity so they clear them as unbranded stocks.

Any link or shop name?

Try searching for brands such as Somnambulist, Blinken.. they are actually from the same factory that produces Sandisk/Kingston/Samsung SDs.

But don't buy those with pricing way much cheaper than competition, high chances they're defects or bad batches.

I feel lucky I was able to grab them very cheap until they started finding out and price their stuffs more expensive after that almost doubled but still way cheaper than branded ones.

If you're lucky you can even get Switch complaint A2 SD cards at rock bottom prices. Reliability not guaranteed by to get genuine legit 64GB A2 rated Switch cards for just under RM25 is a steal.

Thanks, let me check it out first
