It's hit this price a few times before so I'm gonna hold out for BF and see if it goes lower. Trying to decide if I want to get this for my legion go, get the custom backplate or just get the 2tb kingspec
These should be $50 regular price. All these go up in price all year and then drop in price ever 6 months to $80. Where is the 2tb, 4tb and 8tb is been 7-9yrs since 1tb came out.

Do you guys really trust 1tb of data on dumb memory like a micro SD card? I've always wanted to get a 1tb card but I've already had two 512gb cards fail on me so I'm hesitant to trust so much data on one card. Lost a lot of data. Then again, I'm a heavy user, recording up to 300gb of video daily. YMMV.
Sounds like you are cooking that card, as heat from use gets to the card. Get one of the better options, like with the word "Extreme" in it or reviews with low failing rates. Good luck!

Frankly, I don't, and neither should anyone else. But that doesn't mean that I don't use micro SD cards, because they can be very useful. I just regularly back up the important data to other places. No one should trust valuable data in one place. Things can fail. If you put any valuable data on this, it should be backed up somewhere else, as soon as it's feasible. Ideally, at least the 3-2-1 Backup Rule standard should be followed for anything that you don't want to lose, and backups should be updated regularly:
3 separate copies of your data.
2 different types of storage - hard drives & cloud, SD cards & Blu-ray disc, etc..
1 offsite copy, in a different geographical location (cloud is a simple answer to this).
You can have more backups, storage types, and offsite copies than that - those numbers are just a minimum standard. It's a pain in the butt to get all that setup initially, but once a routine is established, it's not nearly as bad, and it's worth the peace of mind.
If you're recording that much daily, you should carry a backup SD card in case the one that you're recording on fails. I'm guessing with 300 GB daily, a high endurance SD card would also be better, but I'm not sure how much of a difference it would make with durability. If I was doing something like maybe wedding photography, I'd probably aim for having at least 2 recording devices, each with their own SD card, and try to use both simultaneously, just in case something fails.
Still hilarious that Samsung still makes the cards despite knuckling under and taking the cardslots out of their phones. That was the #1 use for these.

I don't trust it. Whatever I put on this thing, I also have a copy on my hard drives. If I use it to record videos, I'll off load the contents to my hard drives as soon as I have a chance.

I use it in non-essential devices like a Wii and a Raspberry Pi. Both have images backed up to a NAS. I'm not worried about losing data, other than the inconvenience of having to image another SD card.

IMHO, I would absolutely spend the extra for a Samsung card. The others are low tier brands.
Yes I have had good luck with Samsung card.
Ironically the worst luck I have had is with SanDisk.
Their cards are crap and both but problems.
Similar experiences with their flash drives.
Them and PNY are the only flash storage devices I ever had to RMA

Thing is, there's other 1TB SD cards that are under 80 bucks.
Lexar has one for $75 [amazon.com].
Silicon Power has one for $71 [amazon.com].
TeamGroup has one for $70 [amazon.com].
Is the Samsung card worth the extra money?
