There are different grades even with U3 cards. All of them should meet the U3 minimum standard, but for example Kingston sell a U3 card with 80MB/s write and another with 45MB/s write. I have tried to find out the write for this model but Toshiba wouldn't even display it on their site, while they proudly display the write of the Exceria Pro M401 with 80MB/s write and the Exceria Pro M501 with 250MB/s write :confused: (250MB/s for 16GB model only).
From the Amazon page, the card in this deal is the M302 - EA.
The minimum read/write speed for a UHS Speed Class 3 card is 30MB/s. So if Toshiba don't publish the write speed of this model, you are only guaranteed a minimum of 30MB/s read, along with its stated 90MB/s write.

This is U1 (quoted speed 48MB/s) not U3 (quoted speed 90MB/s) - a slower card. (on Amazon U1 is the 2015 card, the U3 card is 2016 version)

It says 90MB/s on the packaging, clearly visible in the big picture on this listing.

READ the READ SPEED as 90mb/s or am I missing something

£3.99 p&p for non prime members, £10.38 in total. Would not risk ebay as 90% of sd cards listed are fakes...

Yeah it says read. I suppose if they put that and don't quote the WRITE speed the write speed is probably something crap

30MB/s is min for U3 cards... so definitely not crap

20% off voucher to be collected and activated later at checkout
I could not see this and i was at the final stage of checkout.
If you're buying an SD card (particularly from eBay - I've had MANY fakes), test it with a piece of software called h2testw (google it. highly recommended).
Although a card can report to Windows as 32GB (or whatever it claims), the reality can be totally different, e,g, a 4GB card in disguise. This is a common trick with cheap cards and widespread. You normally only notice it when the card fills up, and start getting errors on the files.

How does it stack against the Sandusky micro SD that was dotd on amazon yesterday? (Both roughly same price for 64gb and I ordered 2). Cheers
Own experience with sandisks on ebay where 2 of them failed within very short period and seller ignored all emails(error occured after 45 days so couldn't get them refunded by paypal either - this was long time ago, I know it's more than 45 days now).After this I read nice guide on ebay how to avoid fakes, I can't find the article anymore, it was project of the guy who bought several sandisk sd cards and precisely tested them. It was reported on ebay with all screenshots of tests. It was long time ago but I still keep it in memory and rather buy directly from amazon when discounted... Never had any issues after I found that guide.

There's only 1 review of the 2016 version which lists no read/write tests from what I can see? The rest are for 2014/2015 versions.

yeah basically any SD card that's like £4 for 64gb ATM is very fake. bought a couple from eBay and got lotsa problems.
took them into CEX though and got decent cash for them LOL so I guess avoid CEX too, might get some dodgy fakes (what, you all would do this if you were smart, thats why were on this site, cause we're tight with $$$)

Write speed matters to me as well as the read, so unless its posted how much it is exactly I'll have to pass.
I really don't want to get stuck with a slow write card that only reads fast.

If you want to know the performance, look in the comment/review section of Amazon for the product. Loads of info there

That's normally a great place to look for performance review of SD cards, but do be careful about something, you should check if the review is of the 2016 version. Amazon states the version bought under the reviewers' name if it's a verified purchase. I checked the first page of reviews and all the one's with performance data weren't 2016 ones.
