Question 1

will this work on the switch?

Accepted Answer

Does NOT work with a switch running 15.0.1 software (system is up to date and doesn't give the option to update to 17.whatever). Brand new system, brand new SD card, EVO select 256gb, UHS-1. According to all the reviews this should work.  The system does not recognize it and no matter what we try it does not recognize the card (even with multiple youtube tutorials). We will be returning. Waste of time and money. Maybe it works for some,  but for me not worth the gamble.

Question 2

Is this compatible with blackvue dash cam?

Accepted Answer

It works on my dash cam problem

Question 3

Is this sd card compatible with a Samsung Note 8?

Accepted Answer

YES!  But I would consider stepping up to the 256 which is in my Note8 as I type this now.  Works great.

Question 4

Is this capable of recording 4k @ 60fps?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it handles it just fine.  I bought this model in 2018.  I've used it with a Galaxy S7 Active and now a Galaxy S10+.  It can snap the highest quality pictures these phones take as fast as you can take them.  It records 4k60fps without any issues whatsoever.

It has a write speed of 30MB/s and a read speed of around 110-120MB/s.

The Galaxy S10+ has a UFS 2.1, "capable" of 6Gbps (768MB/s) read speeds.  UFS is full duplex, meaning, it can read and write simultaneously.  My phone transfers files from its internal storage to an SSD through USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) @ ~360 MB/s while being 70% full (128GB internal memory model).

So, that's how I know this card can also read at over 110 MB/s, because I've transferred files from my phone to my PC over USB 3.2 Gen 1.  But the write speed does "seem" slow when seeing numbers like that at 30MB/s.  And really... that is slow.  BUT.. it's fast enough to record at 4k 60fps without any issues whatsoever.. and that's all about write speeds.  It is pushing the brink, though.  I don't mean there's any issues I've ever encountered, but I believe when I want to record in 4k 60fps with HDR10, I have to use Internal Memory.  There's something that it doesn't handle that my phone does, but I don't really need it, anyways.

Phone cameras are fine and dandy and all, and Samsung has the best cameras of all the phones made... but they can't hold a candle to a quality camera meant for taking pictures and recording.

Nonetheless, It's a fast card that's lasted me 5 years so far without any problems.  I've backed up Gigabytes to it countless times, I've stored and watched 100's of GBs of movies on it from this SD card COUNTLESS times.  I've moved games over to it just because I can.  I do notice slower loading when it's on the SD card, but I'm just saying, it's reliable.  Samsung makes top quality products across the board.  Be it memory for video cards or RAM, be it TVs, be it phones, be it M.2 drives or be it little microSD cards...

They make the best of the best.  All you have to do is check if the card's rating (U3) has the proper specs to handle whatever you plan on doing.  The Samsung BRAND itself will hold up to whatever it says it will do.
