Samsung PRO Endurance 128GB 100MB/s (U1) MicroSDXC Memory Card with Adapter (MB-MJ128GA/AM)

I've tried a lot of different microSD cards over the years. They've ranged in capacity from 16GB to 512GB. I've tried many name brands and a few no-name brands. The most dependable cards I had used before were from San Disk and Samsung. Even those discs would eventually be corrupted by the daily power cycling of the RasPi systems. The machines were always shut down properly before being powered off, but the microSD cards would still fail after a couple of months.Then, I saw these Pro Endurance cards from Samsung. After reading about them, I realized these were made to be used the way I was using them. I basically had DSD or HiRes music playing from a partition on the microSD cards straight into DACs connected to audio amplifiers 18 hrs a day all over my home. So, I ordered a couple of them. I created my normal dual-partition combination boot drive plus data drive SD image on each of the Pro Endurance cards. Then, I replaced the cards in two of the music players with these new cards.Before trying these cards, the longest I had any microSD card last was under 2 months. I've been running those two Pro Endurance machines for well over a year, now. They still work perfectly. I am blown away by the difference in longevity. If I could always use these, I wouldn't buy any other card. Unfortunately, there is one major problem with these cards. These cards max out at a paltry 128GB. My music collection won't even fit on a 512GB SD anymore, so 128GB is just out of the question. So, in order to keep the dependability of the boot drive intact, I had to move the audio files onto their own large thumb drive.As a result, I just buy the smallest size of this microSD disc now and use it only to boot the systems and then start the media player software. All of the constant file access for playing music is hosted on the USB thumb drive, now. This two-drive approach is a very expensive solution to get reliable booting plus enough storage space for my music collection, I would entirely prefer to put a 1TB microSD into the Pi then split it into two partitions. It would eliminate the bulk and awkwardness of having a thumb drive sticking out of the Pi.Sadly, that's not possible with the largest size only being 128GB. So, I love these cards, but I hate that they are not available in the size I really need. For now, they're only useful as a reliable boot device. Still, they work so well, that my Pi builds boot every time, now. I definitely recommend these, if you can live without the larger disc sizes.-----Thanks for reading!-Bill-----* If you found any of this information helpful, please let me know by clicking "Helpful" below.-----

Samsung Pro Endurance card exceeds expectations and proves to be perfect for my needs! I have a wide array of micro sd cards for a range of devices. I'm using this one for my gopro which I use quite often during scuba dives. For this purpose you want to make sure you have a fast card not only to record the 4k videos in realtime but also when you sync your gopro to your tablet or phone to view/download/edit content. I've run into troubles before where inferior cards would cause significant lag at this stage and I've even had a cheap $10 card corrupt the entire collection, hard lesson learned. This card which is advertised to be able to handle continuous recording has performed perfectly. I like that it is built to last and is waterproof, specifically seawater, as I am constantly changing out the card from my gopro to download in my computer. The 64gb size is perfect for video in regards to size including smooth recording at 4k. When transferring data to the computer, im getting 20mb transfer speeds and most importantly able to maintain it throughout the file transfer. Overall, this is exactly what I needed and it is working beautifully especially being durable, fast, and reliable. In a marketplace where memory cards are a dime a dozen, this brand stands true.

Very good card! I do like it. It give me no problems.

Durable and reliable which held a lot of video data for my Vantrue S1 4K Dash Cam Front and Rear system with 24 Hours Parking Monitor system. Reasonably priced and easy to install and extract from the dash cam. You need a USB card reader in order to view the contents on a computer if you want to save video of an incident. Going strong for 3-years in hot and cold weather.

I bought a pair of these to use with my dashcam (a Viofo A119v3), and so far have not had any problems. No problem recording 2560x1600 video, and can store about a week of my commute before it needs to start overwriting it, good stuff. Obviously the endurance component will need to be tested over time, but even regular SD cards have lasted years for me, I don't imagine these will be failing any time soon.Value is decent - the PRO Endurance versions are about 2x as expensive as the regular cards. For most uses I wouldn't care, but for dashcam use, I am more than willing to spend the extra money up front, especially since you can get so much space for so little these days. If it comes down to it, I would purchase a smaller-capacity PRO Endurance card than a larger-capacity standard micro-SD, at least for this use case.I typically install one in the camera and keep a second with a USB-C SD card reader ( an uni Sturdy USB C to Micro SD adapter) in my car. This way, if I do witness an accident I can backup the video onto my phone, surrender the one SD-Card to the officer on duty, and install the backup one for my trip home. It also is useful as a fallback in case the one MicroSD fails, is lost (dropped in some inaccessible place in the car) or damaged in some way.Anyway, would recommend thus far. Will leave an update if anything comes up.

about 1.63 PB (petabytes, thus 1,630TB) of Write Endurance is SUPER impressive, if its true in a realworld test! (ie with true random data)This is referring to the 256GB model of this samsung sd card. (to be clear today is Sep 7 2022, SD card im refereeing to is "256GB SAMSUNG PRO Endurance MicroSDXC Memory Card with Adapter" (ie is a micro SD card, that is white in color, with Blue and grey text).NONE of the high endurance SD card manufactures specify the true write endurance of the SD cards they sell (ie Sandisk does not). So its nice to see Samsung state this in the ad (although it should also be stated in xxx TB of write endurance, just like with enterprise SSD / NVMe drives, including Samsung's drives).The Samsung ad states (here on amazon), for the 256gb model: "records and rewrites up to 140K hours (over 16 years)" MOST IMPORTANTLY, in the fine print they specify WHAT they are "recording" for 140K hours. This is the critical part: "Based on Full HD(1920x1080) video content RECORDED AT 26Mbps (3.25MB/s)." <<-- that line is the most important spec. Thus, 3.25 * 60 * 60 * 140,000 = 1.63 PB (IE: 3.25 MB/s * 140k hours). There are full sized ENTERPRISE SSD drives that dont have 1.6PB of write endurance (although some ofcourse have much more than this also).I would LOVE to see someone test this and post the results. (it would clearly take a WHILE to test this, but the results would be VERY valuable to the community buying these card). If i do this, i will update with a link.(i use LOTs of 128-256gb High endurance SD cards in Axis IP Network cameras). Im lucky that i have yet to have a failure. (i use only the major brands of high endurance micro SD cards, ie: Sandisk, Samsung, Toshiba) Hope this info is helpful, and i will update if i end up doing a real-world endurance test.

Bought in 2019 for my dashcam which records all the time even when the car is off. Finally died during the 2026 cold snap. Probably about as good as I could expect from this sort of usage. Unfortunately, it died completely instead of failing in read-only mode.

Bought the original card 5 and half years ago and it worked flawlessly in my dash cam. I think it finally corrupted so buying the new version of it, and hoping it will also last that long. Never formated the card, since I was unaware you should do that at least once a year. Over all great card and value that lasted me a long time in the dash cam.

I previously used Sandisk for cameras and dash cams but many of them kept failing, even though they said high endurance. Bought this and working great after a couple of months. Cheers!Do note for some cameras, they don't support beyond 64GBs so it was a safe option for me.

I am using SAMSUNG 128 PRO Endurance for my Viofo A119 v3 dsahcam. The video quality is awesome and I was able to store the entire 500 KMS of my trip high quality video in this chip. Go for it!!!

Works well, no complains

Perfect memory card for my DOD dash cam. Replaces failed class 10 lexar, will see how well it copes with summer heat inside parked car.

Works well
