Amazon Basics microSDXC Memory Adapter Reviews Summary

Compatibility

Pros:

• "Works really well. I use it for my dash cam and I’ve had no problems."
• "Got this to upgrade my storage in my Nintendo Switch OLED. I was able to transfer data from the original card to this one on my PC without problems and the Switch is happy with it."
• "Adds a ton more storage to my kids kindles for games! Much better so I don’t have to keep freeing up space and it’s so easy to start using."
• "I needed more storage for my daughter’s Kindle Fire and this was perfect! It arrived well packaged with a microSD to SD adaptor as well."

Cons:

• "Not sure why but these can't be mounted and used in the Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Pro tablet, 10.1."
• "Bought to use with my new Fire Tablet 11" and worked fine for 4 months. Now the tablet says its not available or needs to be reset or reinserted."
• "I bought this Amazon Brand SD card for an Amazon Fire Tablet and it does not work with the tablet. Will not allow user to move files to SD card to free up memory on tablet."
• "This was specifically marketed for the kindle fire when it was purchased in July. We have formatted this SD card at least 5 times and it always reverts to saying it's incompatible."

Storage Capacity and Speed

Pros:

• "On something the size of your fingernail for less than $20. 128 Gigabytes of storage."
• "I needed extra storage for traveling. This worked really well in my kindle and allowed me to read more books on my long plane flights."
• "I find only 117 GB is available. Not the first time this has happened but it still enough for what I need it for."
• "If you don't need top end speed this works great. Great capacity(1 TB) Mediocre write speed 20MB/s real world large files."

Cons:

• "Used it lightly for several months in an Insta 360 camera. One day it is no longer able to read or write."
• "After 5 month one just stopped being recognized by the device that was using it."
• "My dash cam as card couldn’t be formatted and was bad. Purchased these and haven’t had an issue with the first one I’m using."
• "I needed a new micro SD card for my Nintendo Switch and after buying this 128 GB micro SD card and inserted this in my switch. I find only 117 GB is available."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "This is a great deal when it is on sale (roughly $13 at the time of my purchase)."
• "Bought the 2-pack of 64GB cards for me and my sister to use for more phone storage, but they could only store photos and not apps."
• "The economy of scale is what made me purchase a 128GB one when I really only needed a 32GB one for my new Security Camera's local storage needs."
• "Finally decided to upgrade my Nintendo Switch's memory since they're introducing so many more titles to the console."

Cons:

• "The cost was a bit much (I bought 2 cards in case one was a dud, I still haven't opened the second one)."
• "After 5 month one just stopped being recognized by the device that was using it."
• "I would not trust Amazon Essentials electronic storage or memory from here on out. Poor durability."
• "Read the review by the other person and either they are lying or they didn't wait long enough to see that if you download about 100 gb of games it craps out."
