same rated speeds, 2yr wty for the Sandisk , 5 from Samsung FWIW - note: the BestBuy deal comes with an SD adapter only not the high speed USB Reader as the title suggests

I am curious as well. For now, I am more inclined to Samsung, as they have authentication tool.
Anyone know the difference between this and an A2 rated card? I'm getting confuzzled by all these different ratings
"Application Speed Class 2, defines the minimum specification for cards and host devices. Sequential read and write speeds are now joined in importance by random read/write speeds (measured in IOPS). The higher the IOPS (Input/Output operations Per Second) the smaller files can be read and written to the card in any one time. So, for apps that open multiple small files – high scores, different graphics for a single level, licensing permissions, etc. – a minimum IOPS level is important, which is covered by the A2 spec."
So for a Steam Deck, for example, you definitely want an A2 card.
FYI on Western Digital's website you can buy this for $15.99, and it appears to be marked down from $17.99. So the "full retail" of $25.99 shown here is probably not accurate.

That was not fun. It was just a regular fact.
