I purchased this as it was the best price to storage ratio from a known brand. After a year plus of use it’s been great! No issues with speed or the card failing me. I’ve been using in my steam deck, and haven’t noticed any difference between games stored on this drive vs the on board SSD. Highly recommend!

It's a standard memory card with the correct storage space on it (that alone is worth 5 stars). Same plug and play installation as any other sd card. It works excellent with my android device. Great price for its size of storage capacity.

I bought this for use with the emulation on my steam bag in mind. It was a great car compatible with the steam deck and it had great quality the speeds that it pushes our pretty optimal and it works absolutely well.

I had bought a Samsung EVO 1TB microsd to use in my Samsung Galaxy S20 smartphone, and what do you know, it failed in just over a year. I paid extra for the Samsung brand thinking I would get Samsung quality (to match my smartphone) but no such luck. So as a replacement, for about half the price I got this TeamGroup T-CREATE 1TB microsd with S.M.A.R.T. What that means is that it monitors wear leveling and potential failures at the firmware level. Although there doesn't appear to be a S.M.A.R.T. tool for Android, I'd be able to periodically use TeamGroup's Windows tool to check the microsd health in a USB card reader. I just downloaded the tool from TeamGroup's website and it works perfectly on Windows 11. Now I have peace of mind that I'd know well in advance of a potential failure so I don't lose any data. Thank you TeamGroup for coming up with a more robust storage solution that a juggernaut like Samsung failed to do.

If you are buying one of these cards for the Switch 2 - DON'T I bought the TEAMGROUP APEX 512GB microSD Express Card - and it arrived DOA. I'm a video guy so you can bet I tried every single option available to get this card to mount or read, or format. The return options available from Amazon have become extremely unsatisfactory with the nearest drop off location being 25 minutes away? I used to be able to package this myself and drop it off locally. I've reached out to the company directly, but if you are selling a card for the Switch 2, then it better be turnkey! This card cost 100$ which is already insane, but the fact that I am going to drive 50 minutes both ways, loose time and gas on this, is just bizarre to me. Bout this for the Switch 2, skip this company completely because it would not work and was throwing this error

I bought a TeamGroup Pro Plus 1TB MicroSD card back in 11/2023 for my Steam Deck OLED. It seemed to work fairly well for a few months. By the time I installed Diablo IV on it 7/2024, the card started showing massive issues. I noticed writes seemed to take forever, with patches for games on the SD card taking outrageous amounts of time, like 8-12 hours. Clearly, something was going wrong. Another abnormality was with games taking forever to load data; I noticed significant "pop-up" textures and world objects in Baldur's Gate 3. I considered the problems bad enough to make the games nearly unplayable. I decided to finally replace the card with a Samsung 1TB since those finally became available this year. I copied the contents from the TeamGroup card over to the Samsung card, which took around 15 hours, with reads averaging 15-20mb/s. Clearly a quarter of the speeds it should have been reading. Just to make sure, I tested the card with KDisk, and confirmed it's only reading at 28mb/s peak, and writing under 1mb/s peak. As best I can tell, the SD card is dying. I formatted it on a Windows PC with exFAT and tested once more with CrystalDiskMark, and it confirmed the awful read/write speeds, the same as the Steam Deck's KDisk benchmark. I put the card back into my Steam Deck, reformatted to ext4, (which took like 15 minutes, significantly longer than it did on first format) and it still benchmarked at awful speeds, even slower than the first tests. One minor side note: The 1TB Samsung Card formats with 8GB more storage than the TeamGroup 1TB. I'm sure it's the usual silliness of, "we have different definitions of 1TB" I usually hear. That's slightly less than a 1% difference, but it's still quantifiable. Summary: Maybe I just got a bad card. I'm willing to update this score higher if the warranty service is good, and the replacement works better. Edit 11-1-24: I sent the card in on warranty, and paid the cost to ship the defective card. To their credit, the RMA process was fast and they sent me a replacement within a week of receiving the bad card. The replacement works much, much better than the original as pictured. My best advice is to be aware these cards can overheat and degrade. Don't keep critical info on them, and if you do, have backups. Warranty service was good, so I'll raise my rating to 4 stars. I still recommend Samsung's 1TB card over Teamgroups, even with the big price difference, but if you need cheap low-priority storage, this should be fine.

Works perfect on a pi5.

First 1tb card ive ever bought that actually wasnt fake or doa.. flawless

ممتاز جدا

Works very well with my oled steamdeck! After formatting I had about 920GB left which makes sense, its very slow to transfer your games over to it but every bit of the storage is usable.

I ran out of room on the existing 256 GB card in my Switch, so needed to upgrade to larger card. Picked this up at a good price, copied existing files from the 256 card to the 512 GB card and inserted into the Switch. Worked perfectly, and now have another 200+ GB of free space for more games. Very happy with the performance of this memory card.
