> 24 hourTCELL Gaming 128GB microSDXC A2 USH-I U3 V30 Read 100MB/s Write 80MB/s Memory Card with Adapter, Designed for Gaming Console, Compatible with Nintendo Switch, Wii, etc. The card comes handsomely packed in a retail hanging card, with the SD card and the micro SD card adapter in a blister pack on the front. On the back of the card, they have a feature that I am very appreciative of, a cut line. As someone who is cut into more than one package in the wrong place and damaged products, a cut line is a very big help for me. The micro SD card is the standard shape and size of micro cards, and a bright red in color, which is very helpful if you should happen to drop it on the carpet as I did, Im kind of clumsy sometimes. Im using this inside my tablet so that I can extend the memory to play my games easier, and a fast card is a must for that. You can use any SD card you want on a tablet, even though all micro SD cards will fit, if the protocol of the card is too slow, your games are going to lag. The same thing for watching videos from a memory card, faster is better, which will equal better viewing. The tablet that Im using the card on now is windows-based, and the card shows up as 116 GB, as you lose a significant amount of space on the card for format setup. The guard comes pre-formatted in the most common that Ive seen on cards, exfat -- and a lot of times I will reformat it to NTFS to allow for larger files, but for now Im leaving this as it is. Transferring files to the card so far seems to be fairly fast, and within normal parameters that Ive come to expect transferring things from one drive to the next. Time will tell, how long it will last, but newer style SD cards are designed to be rewritten many times.

> 24 hourI usually stick with name-brand cards but gave this one a shot for a handheld game emulator I have. In my experience, there are two critical tests of SD/MicroSD cards. The first one is whether the work, right out of the package. Ive gotten more than one in the past that has failed immediately (both name-brand and generic), but this one hasnt. Its been working now for a few days, so I feel like Im well past the period of immediate failure. The second test is whether its working a year later. I cant report on that yet. If it does fail, I will try to update this review. The write and read speeds seem snappy, but Im not exactly using it in any way that demands high speed. I transferred a few gigs of data to the card when I set it up and that one-time transfer seemed speedy. The card came with a full-size SD card shell to insert the MicroSD card into if you have an older device that uses that. I havent tested that. It didnt come with a case, which is also sometimes included with SD cards, though I cant remember ever personally using one of those, so its omission isnt missed by me.

> 24 hourI inserted this into my Windows 10 Mini PC and it was instantly recognized as an SD drive - no problem - plug and play. The 128 GB capacity is correct and I tested the card for speed by copying files and its really fast. The price of SD cards fluctuate quite a lot - this one is less than 25 bucks - very reasonable. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! AAA+++

> 24 hourThis 128 GB SD card (actually micro SD with an SD adapter) delivers good value. It is advertised to have good read and write speeds and in practice I found this to be true, although as others have also found, the actual speeds are a bit under the advertised ones (which are likely measured under ideal favorable conditions). I dont know why its advertised as a gaming card although it certainly could be that. I put it in a low-end smartphone and it was the perfect extension to otherwise paltry storage. There are many other similar uses and its ideal for doing sneakernet transfers between appropriately equipped devices. Ill rate this five stars. Ill revisit the rating should there be an early failure, but I really dont expect anything like that.

> 24 hourI wanted to get additional storage for my Surface Go 2, which accepts micro sd cards. This has been great for files but most importantly can read 1080p 60fps videos without issue from the card. While this is a gaming sd card, if your intention is to install games from the Steam store on a Windows device you will be disappointed. I however think that for the Switch, the speeds here are more than enough. Likewise, if you have a phone that allows storage of apps on an SD Card, then this will be a great pick as well since the faster read speeds will help with loading times. Overall, this is a great little SD card.

> 24 hourFor my professional work, I prefer name brand memory cards such as SanDisk and Sony. That said, I have absolutely no complaints with the TCELL Gaming 128GB micro SDXC card. The specifications of the card (U3 V30, 100MB/s read and 80MB/s write) are very good. While I made no measurements to confirm this, real world use indicated more than acceptable performance for my needs. As for reliability, only time will tell. Its the reliability factor that is why I prefer to stay with name brands as opposed to unknown brands (likely from China.) However, for non critical use, I see no reason why I should not rely on the TCELL Gaming 128GB micro SDXC card.

> 24 hourThe price/capacity of this card is basically the same as trusted brands like SanDisk and Samsung. The performance is about on par with those brands as well. Theres not a lot to distinguish this card from the others in this price range so its hard to recommend buying it over an established brand. The main thing for me anymore is reliability and its hard to gauge before writing a timely review for it. Ive had plenty of off-brand cards work fine for the first couple of months but once you re-write them five or six times they break - ostensibly as this is being marketed as a card for Nintendo Switch, its durability is going to be on-par with SanDisk or Samsung, but only time will tell. I will update this review in the future if and when the card fails.

> 24 hourThis little fella is definitely worth the money. You can fit 10 - 15 full games plus saves on it!!! I just bought the OLED and transferred the card to my new system. It fits into both switches which is nice.
