True, but at least this is delivered so I don't have to leave my cave. :confused::smiley:

This has been £29.99 at Argos for quite some time. So actually nothing new.

Trusting Sandisk with 128gb of your data is irresponsible. Never had a card that hasn't failed, terrible brand.

There are two ways to play blu ray disc. If you want to play the blu-rays on PC without conversion, you can use UFUSoft Blu-ray Player. If you want to play the blu rays with ipad, ipod, android devices, you can use UFUSoft Blu-ray ripper to rip blu-rays to mp4 and then sync it to your devices.

Gone back to 39.99

yeah i found it but i spend way too much time on here so not representative :wink:
if someone wanted a micro sd they wouldn't need to search as it would be in the hottest of day list
that way the whim buyers are catered for as well
good deal though!

You found it :man:

Plus, it has gained a few hundred degrees in the last few hours, so people are finding it. I have posted in DonkeyKonk's thread from yesterday advertising the same product at the same price at Argos:
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sandisk-ultra-80mbs-microsd-memory-card-128gb-29-99-back-down-price-argos-2414465#post27597556

One could argue that a repost would be adding to the 'deal noise'. If someone really wanted a microSD card then they would search for it and so find this. For anybody that would just buy a card on a whim then it is no great loss to them if they don't come across it.

Will this work in a PSP with duo adapter?

USB 3 is much faster, but it depends on the device itself as well as your hardware

perfect timing to go with my new S7 Edge :stuck_out_tongue:

would ahve been more useful to repost this rather than unexpire
who looks at deals from a week ago for chance buys?

Last time I did that, the card was clearly a Fake. It had errors that showed up in the card testing I always do before I use it. Beware with Memory Cards in Amazon Warehouse deals.

This is now back down to £29.99 at Amazon. I've requested the deal to be made live again.

Back to the cheaper price, and in stock, could unfreeze the deal.

I'm not sure yet as I have not got around to downloading any yet, however, it will probaly be an all in one suite as I cannot be bothered with messing around with multiple software as I just want a film to play, I am not interested in creating archival material as I still have the disks.

The best thing to do is download a few if you can and run them in trial to compare them and to see what best suits you. That other CloneBD looks like it may be good.

Have a look at this,

Which Blu-ray Ripper should I choose : 2015-2016?
http://www.hdmediaconverter.com/top-5-blu-ray-rippers-2013/

There are similar sites offering guidance, when I get the time I am going to trial a few to decide.

So what do you think you'll go for? Like I say all I want to do is rip some of my dvds/ blu_rays, put them on an sd card So I can watch them from my amazon fire tv. Don't need anything fancy.

In that case you have Elby CloneBD, it only lets you copy unprotected Blu-ray to your hard drive it does not decode Blu-rays. If you are going to use this then you must have AnyDVD & AnyDVD HD installed as well. AnyDVD HD runs in the background decoding on the fly any Blu-rays that are loaded or played.

I think you will be better off with an automated suite, once you are more familiar with ripping then you can start playing with customisable software. I got fed up with all the Geeky software so I used the suites mentioned earlier.

I can't recommend any up to date software as I have not done any ripping for a couple of years, now I have this new XPS I am looking for new software myself.

It's on redfox download page. I know nothing about this stuff so not sure what I'm looking at :smile:

Which CloneBD?

Elby CloneBD only lets you copy unprotected Blu-ray to your hard drive.

CloneBD 7 appears to be a full ripper suite.
"Rip & convert Blu-ray movies to various video/audio formats to playback them on popular devices "

If this is the one, it should be a simple select format, rip and convert job all automated by the software. Once the film has been ripped and converted you just place it on your tablet and play it with the inbuilt media player or installed app.

I use MX Player or Archos Player on my Tab S.

So do I download the clone bd and that will put the movie onto a playable file on my pc, which I can put onto an sd card?

I received this adaptor today, unfortunately it is too short for the XPS once pushed in you will not get it out.

£8.99 gamble that I lost.

Again for XPS owners don't buy the Spinido it is too short.

The XPS is 25mm to the outer edge of the case, the Spinido in total is 23.08mm and 21.61mm to the pull lip, so it is 3.4mm too short.

I wish manufacturers would supply proper dimensions.

It looks like Slysoft is back in business.

They have rebranded as Redfox and relocated their business to Belize. I have just visited their forum where they have posted that they are currently sorting out new licensing.

Damn you are right. Read your post and thought "Eh?". Went to slysoft.com to read this on their webpage

"Due to recent regulatory requirements we have had to cease all activities relating to SlySoft Inc.
We wish to thank our loyal customers/clients for their patronage over the years. "

I think because its a way to extract a digital copy (that can be shared) from optical media.

wished id downloaded one before they were shut down :disappointed:

That's interesting, could you benchmark your 64GB Kingston and post it on that thread please?

I was looking for new software as mine is rather old now, many of the old favourites have been shutdown by the studios. It appears that there are only a few Chinese software companies holding out by offering Blu-ray decoding software.

The way I look at it, if I have paid for the Blu-ray and still possess the Blu-ray then I should have the right to back it up or play it however I wish.

Thanks for the info. I had a close look at the picture, there is no read only, however, for my purposes it is not needed.

The XPS has a standard slide port, I just hope that I measured it correctly, I placed a standard adapter indside, marked it where it met the casing and measured it with digital verniers.

Why is it piracy if I just want to watch my dvds on my fire tv? This country is just a joke lately.

From my experience those half size adaptors don't have the read only tab and don't play nice with the push to eject mechanism in my Lenovo e320.

The price only dropped today. I didn't buy one. When I was in the market for one, I decided that a 64GB card sufficed for my needs. I posted that as a deal here too: a Kingston card currently going for £11.04:
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/kingston-64-gb-microsdxc-with-adapter-11-04-15-23-without-prime-amazon-2397626
You'll be able to find benchmarks on tech sites via google.

Based on some of these comments, and having had a Sandisk smaller one fail on me, I'm tempted to take a gamble on the Integral ones .. I'll put it to price being my motivator ;-)

which one is better sandisk or integral?

Did you buy one, please do benchmarks and post here?

Yup, gone on Amazon... but managed to reserve one on Argos now.

No longer available :disappointed:

Edit: Still available from Argos.

I am not personally claiming that it is better for android or for a phone in particular. Though I myself see that as a marketing ploy, I expect they mean as compared to slower cards. I had put the advertising blurb in quotation marks. I have now added "Product details on Amazon:" to make it clear that it is not a personal statement.

Any better than Samsung as I've had 2 both 64gb both corrupted and wiped pics I didn't want to lose. need a better product.

damn just bought the Kingston 64gb for 11.50

I have bought about ten Sandisk memory items the last few years, mainly sdhc cards. The only two items that have lasted and given me no problems are the OTG ones (micro USB to USB) which have been great.
The seven or so sdhc cards I have got have all messed up either within a week, or six months.
I have mainly used Samsung phones and tablets, but also Lenovo, Sony and Lg, and have had issues with all of them with Sandisk.
I am tempted to give this a go, but am hoping to see a Samsung one around this price soon.

Oh. I thought it was £10. Pshhh

€40.99 in Argos Ireland, great price!

I remember when I bought my Galaxy S3 back then, many people were saying that they were having problems, however, I never had a problem with mine.

I transfered the 64GB cards to my Note 3 until the 128GB came out. My 64GB cards are now in my cameras.

Have I just been lucky?

I expect everyone's experience with Sandisk to vary. I am probably just unfortunate enough to have had two duff cards from them.

My old Sony 64GB MicroSDXC card is still working after more than 2 years. However, the read/write speeds are too slow for most applications.

Thanks, I'll check these out.

I've owned 4 64GB Sandisk microSD cards over the past 2-3 years, only one still works. Actively avoiding the brand at the moment. Would love to know if it was just their 64GB cards that were rubbish...

Can I rip my dvd/blu rays onto this and play them on my fire tv? If so how?

I got one from argos a couple of months back to use in my canon 6d - it has failed twice now and will be going back this weekend

If you have the right software, yes.use handbrake to rip, and ensure you have a media player on your fire tv and you'd be good to go.

Was due to pick this up from Argos on Friday, so this has saved me the trip. Cheers! :smile:

Good price, but I won't be buying it after my 64GB Sandisk card started to corrupt files, then became write-locked (a hardware feature of Micro SD cards that locks further writing or formatting to prevent further damage to the card when they become faulty).

It was only 4 months old, and the only way to claim on the warranty is to send the card back to Sandisk or the retailer. I won't be doing that though, as I can't remove my personal files from the card, due to it being write-locked. :-(

The same thing happened to my previous Sandisk 32GB card after 8 months.

As mentioned by several people, it had been at £30 several times at Argos. I bought it for £24 from bespoke when it did.

what is special about them to be classified as android. would an extreme not be a much better card for a phone?

The 200GB card was £59.00 during Black Friday.

I measured the depth of the SD slot on the XPS it is 25mm so I am taking a gamble on this adaptor,

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Spinido-Micro-Adapter-MacBook-Retina/dp/B013YDDAGA

Hopefully this should add 200GB of flush storage to my XPS.

I think I might have been confusing the Black Friday Amazon deal with the 200GB card. The Argos deal was probably the best one, seems to come and go.

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/128gb-micro-sd-sdxc-29-99-argos-2334875

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sandisk-ultra-128gb-microsdxc-class-10-80mb-s-29-99-argos-2405838

Worth noting there are different models of the card, with different speeds I think.

Good deal but for me when it comes to SanDisk then it is once bitten twice......

Cheap but not the cheapest they've ever been, for example when you could buy them through bespoke offers, or through argos with codes or even on black Friday at Amazon but then I suppose those times don't count.

My one of these has just failed after 18months.
Comes with a 10 year warranty though and SanDisk are replacing it!

I wonder if Sandisk manufactures the cards for Integral as they are appear identical in specification.

[/quote]I'm surprised. I would've expected the write time to be longer than the read time.[/quote]
I should clarify that in the video I'm uploading from the card to my pc files that were already stored on there, I format the card and then download files from my pc to the sdcard.

I actually bought this and have reviewed the card on Amazon for the 128GB card ( it's the one at the top with a video). I haven't had any problems with SanDisk in past. This card is excellent and in the video on the site (Spoiler Alert!), I access documents, mp3s, videos, ebooks and comics and its loads up fast. Total upload time was about 52 minutes for around 80 gigs. but downloading everything was about 3 hours and 50 minutes.

Some files were transferred faster than others. But on average, I found uploading I'd get sustained speeds of around 25mbps but downloading varied immensely. This depends upon how you're connecting to the card and types of files etc. As mentioned in the video, its pretty infrequent that the average person uploads 80 gigs onto their card.

For everyday use and access. I'd recommend it and actually bought another one because of the price drop.

This was the one, only £23.75 after code SAVOOSD code for 5% off

Thanks, it is good to know how they compare with Sandisk. Your figures are pretty much the same as I get on mine.

I have the integral 128 installed on my edge. Works brilliantly but benchmarks are well off as I would suspect most are.
Read 50.77mbs
Write 18.2mbs
Fine for me as I only store music movies and photos on there.
Tested using A1 SD Bench app

​According to Camelcamel it's at its cheapest

Can`t wait until more manufacturers jump on the TWO sim card slot option :laughing:

http://www.androidcentral.com/320gb-storage-isnt-magic-its-saygus-v2-hands


Quarter of a Terabyte on your blower! :confused:

The S6 is great hardware, let down by an atrocious OS which is Lollipop and Samsung have really dragged their heels getting Marshamallow out, so much so that only Vodafone has a version out in the UK so far. It's what I call p*ss poor customer service, due the very nature of Android it's flexibility it its weakness with regard to updates, it'll never get regular updates like IOS in the same manner across all devices, just not possible unless Google take control of updates but of course how can they, they don't control the individual manufacturer custom version of their OS.

Just for awareness I bought one of these from Amazon (sold and dispatched by Amazon), and my NVIDIA Sheild TV box informed me that my card was slow!! When looking at the card in a Laptop it was only 16MB in size. Obviously counterfeit, but these fake cards are finding their way in to the genuine supply chain... not just from unscrupulous eBay sellers. Check your card when it arrives, no matter where you bought it from.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately, like the Macs the SD Slot is very shallow so the card sticks out which can lead to damage.

You can buy shortened adaptors that sit flush but they are designed for the Macs and are quite expensive.

I am not certain if they will fit in my XPS as they may be too short or long, so I am looking on forums to see if anyone has tested them yet.

Not sure if this helps, but it already comes with an SDcard adapter free, so should be able to slot into your XPS 9550 if it has an SD Card Reader on the side of your laptop.

Yep thats exactly what i'd be doing. Its only to store my archive of photos and music. At the moment I have a S6 with 64GB and I've been struggling with c. 550mb of free space for the past month lol. Apps will always be running on system memory.

Got mine yesterday -still in pack.

Trusting Sandisk with 128gb of your data is irresponsible. Never had a card that hasn't failed, terrible brand.

As you said it is marketing ploy.

Many manufacturers proudly show off their read speeds but never advertise their write speeds which usually are very poor.

Sandisk is notorious for this, they are reliable but not always the fastest.

got an instant 4% discount from flubit instant offer for 29.09.

The point is, it's not the "cheapest ever" which is misleading.

And you can probably get it cheaper via Flubit now.

Why is it U1 when it has a rate of "up to" 80MB/s? I think the marketing is a bit over enthusiastic.

this was cheaper via bespoke/flubit before. and at argos too.

As mentioned above "Integral cheaper at my memory" - by 6 quid.

if using it in surface pro, would it be faster than same size storage usb 3.0 drive?

Works great with firetv2

these would be good in a nifty drive for MBPr

With the S7 / Edge, I'd only want media on the external flash, the internal NAND storage which is UFS 2.0, I'd want to keep free for applications as the internal NAND is much faster in all areas than any micro SD card, significantly faster.

I have 5 of these from the first at 30MB/Sec to this latest one, they have all performed perfectly, in my Note 3, Tab S, Venue Pro and Fiio X5ii.

I purchased the 200GB version during the Black Friday deals.

The first one cost me over £85.00 so this is a really good deal.

Please post some benchmark here , Crystal diskmark and/or Flashbench?

Could someone post some Crystaldisk Diskmark here please?

Integral cheaper at my memory very respected brand

If anyone has prime now you can get it delivered same day for this price

Fair comment. I guess if like me you need it right now (for my new S7 edge) then you can buy it right now from Argos. If you don't have access to a store and need it delivered then Amazon is a better deal with free delivery.

Its all about burning calories :laughing:

Thanks BM12. Whilst it's free to collect from Argos, delivery is £3.95, so some people may prefer Amazon, more so when Prime users can get £1 credit for no-rush delivery. I've included the Argos info in the OP.

This has been £29.99 at Argos for quite some time. So actually nothing new.

Also, there are four cards available for less via Amazon Warehouse (customer returns, click 'new' to access them). They are £25.75, £27.16 (x2) and £28.65. At a £4.24 saving, I'd say it's worth a punt. It's probably just been repackaged and you can return it if any issue.

Here's the price history from camelcamelcamel showing the £10 drop in price and that it's the cheapest it's been:
