I also saw some youtuber did a comparison of multiple current microsd brands and lexar came out last.
Found the video: https://youtu.be/eNX4SFMftEY
Not sure if this one is a new one that isn't subject to what people are talking about.
Don't get me wrong, it will work fine but it's slower vs the SanDisk or Samsung evo select cards. Game loads are fast because they are reads. Looks like this card is slower on writes. The issue with overheating leading to throttling and it being thicker is a bit of a concern.
I need one but I'm on the fence.
Perhaps this is a new one and it's better? Can someone chime in?
Would love to get this 1tb.

I believe the performance is on par with other cards but it overheats so it throttles, leading to intermittent drops in write speed.
Im using a Samsung evo 256gb microsd and it's getting 30MB/s so I'm OK, but would love to upgrade to 1tb if this works out.

If there's Z-height available, some aluminum tape or a small snippet of copper-graphene/synthetic graphite 'nvme heatspreader' sheet-material might work.
I came to this Slickdeal because I was searching for a reasonably priced 1TB card, for my Deck. Thermal performance problems and early failures on memory cards seem to be common to the Steam Deck, regardless of brand.

The reports of 'extra thickness' seemed credible, you confirmed it.
BTW MicroSD's physical 'spec' is 1.0mm thickness.
To be fair, I've had at least 2 phones where 'a lil tight' fitting mSD card would've been preferred...

Not for everyone tho
Should note I picked it up in June. I've played Elden Ring and tons of indie games on it.
