Quote:don't buy no-name crap (Kingston, PNY and the like -- they all buy cheap NAND dies and controllers on the spot markets and all you get are slow cards that just fulfil the irrelevant sequential speed class ratings)tkaiser, I've been following everything you been saying with regard to these SD cards, and I consider you a (if not the) subject matter expert. I know you're getting tired of saying the same thing over and over again. It's my practice to avoid the need for that. I believed that I was approaching the subject from a different perspective (not necessarily different than your own experiences, but different than has been discussed on this forum). I didn't read anything to suggest that PNY was crap (PNY is too small of a search term so I may have missed it). Thank you so much for your new insights and for your willingness to give thorough responses!
While this particular PNY card was the only 64gb card in stock at Walmart, I probably would have selected it by choice because it is marketed for use in Android devices (assuming the standard EVO card wasn't available). I truly thought PNY was a good product.
