Bought to hold 250 gigabytes worth of movies I had on an old SATA SSD drive for my new all singing, all dancing 11.5" tablet with 120Hz refresh rate (arriving a day after this review) - perfect for media consumption and gaming but with only 256 gigabytes of onboard storage I wouldn't be able to store apps, games and media without having to resort to external drives and I don't want to go through that pain again.
On closer inspection the 1 terabyte micro sd card showed up on my PC formatted as exFAT with 953 gigabytes free, looking at the internal 1 terabyte NVME SSD in my PC it actually showed a maximum capacity of 923 gigabytes so the SanDisk actually has more capacity so I'll chalk that as a win.
Unloading the 250 gigabytes of movies from my old SSD to my PC took around 8 minutes, loading them to the SanDisk micro sd took around 2 hours 30 minutes but that was my entire movie collection, I probably won't have to do that again anytime soon and if I collect any more titles, they'll most likely be uploaded 2 or 3 at a time so I'm not really concerned with bulk writing speeds.
Once everything was loaded to the sd card I tried it in my Chromebook and my old smartphone, it worked flawlessly, the read speeds was spot on and it coped well with being chopped and changed between devices.
I wanted to get an authentic and reliable 1 terabyte micro sd - there's a lot of cheap, fake alternatives out there but you can't go wrong with a real SanDisk micro sd.
