Video reviews waste time. A written review mostly gets to the point, without stretching the text to ensure it lasts to 6 pages (unlike video on youtube, that MUST get past the 10 minute mark).
I'm still waiting for the samsung 980 SSD review to get PCIe4 results added. It's been almost a month since they were "in the process of testing these benchmarks in PCIe 4.0 mode. Results will be added as they finish."
If I take really nice pictures, with my old Nikon camera, does that make me a creator, or a professional? I just don't know. Do I have to be either? Couldn't I just buy one of these to store music, or even simply move files around? /s
Now that I have a Nikon Z7 with CFExpress cards, SD seems kinda "meh". They should have the chops to create something that pushes CFExpress limits, where's that Samsung?
I'd love to know how these compare to the Micro SD versions of these. They come with an SD card adaptor in the package, so can slot into an SD card slot... Will be good to know if price is the only differentiating factor
Slower due to less silicon and heat capacity available for logic. Fast controllers take a lot of transistors and power. Price per bit seems comparable to a Samsung 860 EVO SSD.
My UFS cards are fast and responsive because they can read and write simultaniously. A thumbnail gallery for photos and videos is easily created while even more of them are written to the card. The culprit is the Acasis UFS card reader because it doesn't support UASP in linux. But even in BOT mode UFS cards are faster than any UHS-I card. UHS-II cards can write up to 260 MB/s but they run hotter and can only read or write. SDexpress will fix that but I think I still prefer JEDEC terms and conditions over the ones of the SDA.

Where's the video card reviews? :DSpunjji - Wednesday, October 14, 2020 - link

Video card reviews not video reviews 😂ballsystemlord - Wednesday, October 14, 2020 - link
IIRC, it was ryan who's doing them and he's been delayed, in part, due to wild fires.ballsystemlord - Wednesday, October 14, 2020 - link

Thanks for the review.Do you have any information on NAND type used (V-NAND? TLC or QLC?)? How about write endurance (TBW)?
ballsystemlord - Wednesday, October 14, 2020 - link
Good question. All the USB and SD cards I've looked at don't list their endurance. It would be useful information to have.hubick - Wednesday, October 14, 2020 - link

Why are those cards both slower and more expensive than SATA SSDs?Molor1880 - Thursday, October 15, 2020 - link

The UHS-I spec is about 10 years old, hardly worth reporting. SD specs had atleast 3 speed updates since then if Samsung tried.tygrus - Thursday, October 15, 2020 - link
The only benefit I see is the better random read and slightly better random write.Schugy - Thursday, October 15, 2020 - link

Evo Plus is not a new product family. There is a whole bunch of Samsung microSD with this branding on Amazon since months ago.ganeshts - Friday, October 16, 2020 - link
The microSDXC EVO Plus family has been around for quite some time - we even reviewed their top of the line model back in May 2019 - https://www.anandtech.com/show/14250/samsung-evo-p...This is new for *full-sized SDXC cards*
As mentioned in the article, Samsung has been absent from the full-sized cards market for a few years now (Their last launch was in 2014).

Hi .,Is it possible to share the exact FIO command line options used to measure the performance ?
