1 TB Micro sd card

[Negita43]

I'm looking at 1TB micro SD cards for a phone (don't ask why) I can buy Sandisk at Advice for 2990 Baht

However I have read in a review that Silicon Power is a good value choice.

Neither Advice or JIB appear to stock the brand.

I did a google for it (for Thailand ) and it came up with a company I had not heard of before - Invade IT.

They actually only have RAM memory for this brand BUT they do have a good offering of 1 TB micro SDs including Samsung EVO at 3K baht

Lazada has lots of micro SDs on offer at ridiculous prices (high and low) and whilst I buy a lot of various products from them micro  SDs are a NO NO

Anyone used Invade IT before or know where I can source Silicon Power micro SDs or should I stick with Western Digital and Advice?

Stick with a reputable retailer for Micro SDs. As long as you buy from there, brand shouldn't matter that much, unless you have particular performance requirements (unlikely on a phone).

Invade IT are good, by the way. Any of the brands they sell will be fine.

Invade IT has a long standing positive reputation. Unless SP are suitably discounted, don't bother. Sandisk Extreme upwards. Not Ultra.

Samsung EVO upwards.

V30 minimum. It will be imprinted on the card. If it doesn't have it, don't buy it. 

V60 or V90 even better, according to application. But V30 as a minimum.

Also, since you don't say for what you intend to use it(I assumed video), look out for A1 & A2 markings on the card. That denotes Application Performance. Best is A2. So look at cards with V30 and A2 markings. That covers video writing speed and application performance.

 

SP charges 3699 baht for such a card, so no real discount with regard to an established brand name. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/silicon-power-high-speed-memory-card-superior-a2-series-microsdxc-uhs-i-with-adapter-read-100mbs-write-80mbs-i4496876797-s18213391901.html

 

If according to price and specification, https://www.invadeit.co.th/product/memory-cards/sandisk/1tb-extreme-micro-sd-190mb-s-class-10-no-adapter-sdsqxav-1t00-gn6mn-p049921/ would be my choice.

Firsly thanks for the info.

Actually (and I did say in my original post "don't ask") and this a non negotiable with my gf - it's to store (and take) videos and pictures of normal quality. We started off with 128 GB some years ago which became full so I upgraded her to 256 GB about 18 months ago - this is now 90% full - she refuses to move any of them to other storage (but I backup to my NAS) so I have decided to jump the 512 GB and go straight to 1TB (and on pain of worse than death I have to copy all existing files to the new one) so 1TB will already be 25% full when we start.

And  just to put you in the picture (excuse the pun) this otherwise intelligent lady refuses to engage with the management of technology (other than using LINE and U-tube) for example some years ago before I came on the scene she purchased a very early pentax digital camera BUT omitted to set the correct date and time when the battery was depleted and recharged consequently she has in excess of 80,000 pictures mostly dated XX/01/2007 in the exif data thank god they are not on the this sd card!!

And if you think I'm looking for pity - yes I am 😬
