Samsung Pro Plus 1TB microSDXC Card Review

Today we are continuing our microSDXC card series with the Samsung Pro Plus 1TB microSDXC card. Flash media cards are an area where the technology has been around for a long time, and folks have had both positive and negative experiences. Some folks swear by Samsung cards, so we wanted to include them, but we could not get a 1.5TB to 2TB card. We are also looking at the newer 180MB/s card as there is a Pro Plus that is a 160MB/s card. It is quite confusing.

Note: We purchased our 1TB card on Amazon (affiliate link)

The Samsung Pro Plus 1TB microSDXC Card

Since these cards are tiny, we get a lot more packaging than we get device.

Let us quickly get to what this card is. We have V30, A2, and U3 markings. If you need a quick cheat sheet see What All of the Markings on SD microSD and microSDXC Cards Mean. While this is not the highest performing card, it is designed to be higher performing and actually run applications from it, unlike the SanDisk 1.5TB Ultra we looked at previously.

Even though this drive is tiny in size, at 1TB it can store a lot of data. We regularly see PCs equipped with 256GB to 1TB capacity M.2 SSDs which is in this capacity range.

Here is a quick look at the contact side of the card:

Unlike the SanDisk models, we cannot see a package exposed on this side.

Bundled with this card, we get a microSDXC to SD adapter in Samsung’s bright white.
