Samsung introduced its PRO Ultimate family of microSD cards just recently, boasting read speeds of up to 200MB/s. Not only can they be pre-ordered on Amazon from today, but they also go easy on your wallet, with the base storage of 128GB carrying a price of only $20.99. Samsung has two more storage variants of 256GB and 512GB available at the same online retailer, with prices of $34.99 and $64.99, respectively.
Each microSD card will be available with either an SD card adapter or a USB reader, with the latter carrying a higher price than the ones bundled with the adapter. Fortunately, the majority of notebooks ship with SD card readers, so that adapter should come in real handy, and if you happen to experience the misfortune of owning a machine that does not come with such an addition, those external microSD card readers are inexpensive too.
Coming to the specifications, the Samsung PRO Ultimate range boasts write speeds of up to 130MB/s, making them exceptional for various applications. According to the company, these can be used in smartphones, tablets, GoPro action cameras, drones, and other devices, with several protections in place to help them thrive in the most unfavorable environments. Samsung states that its latest microSD cards can withstand 72 hours in seawater and are temperature-proof, X-ray-proof, magnetic-proof, and drop-proof.
If you pre-order from Amazon right now, these microSD cards will be released on September 6, so less than a week should pass like it was nothing. In terms of best value, the 256GB seems like a safe bet, and if we were you, we would spend just a little extra to get that USB card reader because modern-day laptops and desktops feature high-bandwidth USB ports that can take advantage of the PRO Ultimate’s speed upgrades.
