This seems to match the price of Samsung 1TB EVO microsd. And the Samsung 1TB Pro is $10 more. Personally I'd go for the Pro for $10 more.
Don't want to be confrontational, but why mention the 1TB EVO as it isn't in the same ballpark as this? The read/write speeds on that card pale in comparison - you'd be lucky to record 4K/30fps.
The Pro is in the same ballpark, sure, but it's still 8-10% slower than the Sandisk Extreme Plus, which is probably the best / most-reliable micro SD card on the market.
There is 16 USD off of two offer - this SD isn't the best ever, but with that discount it's pretty-damn-good for 2024 if you need more than one.

Fair enough if you're in the SanDisk QuickFlow ecosystem and have the hardware that can read those cards at 200MB/s, I'd personally take the new Samsung fab process for the 1TB Evo and Pro Plus cards for the typical UHS-I use case since it's likely to be less hot and more reliable.

Eh, it's not that complicated to be honest, don't care about ecosystems, but I do have to record 4k 120fps video on 6 or more GoPros for motion capture purposes, which means the EVO is completely out @10mbps write speed, and the Pro Plus could make the grade at 130mbps, but I'll take all the headroom I can get (plus the extreme plus is about 10-20% cheaper, at least at the moment).
For Sandisk microsds I have found their write sustain speeds to be far more consistent than just about any other brand, and while I haven't tried Samsung Pro Plus specifically, I did cycle through about 4 other brands which all failed on at least one cam at one point, which ruins the whole lot of filming.

If you care about the excess of UHS-I max speed (104MB/s) then you are playing into the ecosystems. The only reason SanDisk can advertise 200MB/s is using their branded SD card reader. Same for Samsung, you must use their ecosystem's reader to reach the max 180MB/s.
EVO is not 10MB/s, the link I posted says the 1TB is U3, V30, A2. The U3 part indicates the minimum write is at least 30MB/s. Which happens to be the same as the SanDisk in this post.
The reason you find a certain MicroSD card able to sustain high speeds longer is very much due to how efficient the VNAND and controller is. In which case the new generation (this part is important) is likely to be superior. If you're comparing it to last year's Samsung MicroSD or older, that is not what I'm talking about. The 1TB Evo and Pro Plus cards are the new ones released in August, which are on a 28nm controller process compared to the older 55nm process. The controller and VNAND are responsible for generating heat, and the less heat it generates the longer it can sustain high speeds. So there's actually a performance difference between the older 512GB Samsung MicroSDs and the new 1TB ones despite the peak speed using their proprietary card reader being some bullshit number that doesn't really matter for most users.
