The ones with the usb reader are ideal because you can't unlock full write speeds without it
It doesn't look like they're selling those anymore on Amazon. When I go to this page, it says that I ordered another variety previously (I bought the 128GB with the reader), but when I click on the link to the item, it's just the card without a reader. There's no mention of a reader on the pages for any size card.

I have purchased at least 50 of this particular line of cards "sold by Amazon.com" over the years and have never once had an issue.

Normally I would agree with you but now Best Buy only has a 14 day return policy! Not a lot of room to return in case you have issues.

I'll take a short return policy compared to a potentially fake card. I think 14 days is plenty to decide if a card is right or not.

TIP: If an item fails after their abnormally short return window, rebuy the same card at full price and return the defective one within it's new return window.

* Best Buy does have a short return period, BUT, to be fair, they do allow you to open and use it (gently) and still return it, which is quite unique and helpful. I've gotten good deals at Best Buy and will continue buying from them.

Bestbuy wont match. They get the same card with different model number.

I wasn't commenting on whether they would price match, only how to deal with potentially defective items outside the 14 day return window since the commenter was concerned about the short return period and issues with a card.

I've done it before and don't feel bad. They just return it to the manufacturer or get the manufacturer to write it off anyways.

I have a GoPro Hero 4. Finally breaking it out after being put up for a long time. Will this work with it? Don't remember all the requirements, but paid $100ish for a 64gb card at launch. Want to upgrade, but don't remember the read\write requirements and Google isn't helping me.

Based solely on the reviews on Amazon, it looks as if the write speeds on these are very good.

For instance, this review shows 130 MB/s read and write from a verified purchaser using a reader which I assume supports Samsung's DDR200 extensions (which are required form rates above 100MB/s):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RLULU2Y38UKX6/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B09B1... [Amazon Review]
There are a bunch of other reviews show show about 95 read / 80 write which complain that it does not match the 130MB/s claimed. These speeds are expected when using a UHS-I reader which does not support the DDR200 extensions.

Saying that, in for one. Thanks, OP.
