just saw the price on the 512GB Samsung PRO with the Adapter drop to $28.99. It was $31.99 on the last deal that was posted.
on bestbuy ebay, bestbuy, and amazon. It is the one with just the sd card adapter and not the usb reader. FYI

Amazon still available at this price. I just bought a second one and will be picking it up at an Amazon locker. $10 off for Prime members using PICKUP10OFF (Possibly YMMV). Couldn't resist.

I need a 2tb microSD card for my unpatched v1 Switch.

" The packaging for this SD card makes some pretty bold claims about its speed and performance - 160MB/s reads and 120MB/s writes. I realize it says "up to" meaning that there factors that can cause the speeds to be slower - which is why I benchmarked this card with a tool that tests pretty much every read/write scenario and I ran the test using more than one card reader.
The benchmark results were identical to the performance of an EVO Select SD card - reads maxed out at around 90MB/s, and writes maxed out at 80MB/s. I would love to know under what circumstances Samsung managed to get the advertised speeds, because I couldn't even get close. Large files, smaller files, single threaded, multi-threaded, nothing made those numbers budge - not even enabling write-caching.
You may be able to pop this into a Mac or Windows computer, copy files to or from it and see higher numbers than that occasionally register in the status window, but those operating systems have a variety of little tricks they use to make the transfer seem like it's moving faster than it actually is. I guarantee you if you measure the actual time it took to transfer a given amount of data you're not going to get faster than the numbers in that benchmark.
I tested this at the same as an EVO Select card which costs about 30% less for the same capacity and the results were identical.
My advice is just go with the EVO - it's not as fast as advertised either, but it's way cheaper."
Seems like this is no different from Evo Select which is 25$. Another person says this has less available storage than EVO SELECT

Yes, but if you already have one or several there's no reason to pay $6 extra for another. It's plenty fast.
