Also anyone can tell me the difference in performance between the white one and the blue one??
I have Evo plus. Works fine.
Same. No issues so far.
Great, ty. 👍
Came here to advise running F3 to test the sd card, and make sure it’s legit.
Turns out the Steam Deck does it on it’s own when you use the steam UI formatter, Beautiful
That’s awesome that the Steam Deck does a check like that.
I have had good luck with these. One has been in my Deck for 6+ months, with about 1/2 my library on it. Load speeds etc. have been decent.
They are both exactly the same, Select is just a rebrand of Amazon. Don’t buy Select unless it is cheaper. And yes they work fine, have the Evo Plus 512.
Why shouldn’t they buy the select? Isn’t the whole purpose of it being exclusive to prevent people from getting fake cards?
samsung has a tool that can verify the legitimacy of cards. if it’s counterfeit send it back
If Amazon is unable to make sure you got no fake Plus if they are the seller, how in the world would they make sure the Select is no fake?
Amazon is the only seller of the Select cards. For the Plus, anyone can be a seller, so there could be fakes being sold as well. If the Plus is being sold directly by Amazon, then yes, it should be a legit card and there should be no difference.
It’s a bummer that the situation is essentially a tax that guarantees not being hassled by counterfeit goods.
“Well, I have two options. Here, this one here that’s white. And here’s another one that’s not white.”
“What’s the difference?”
“Well, this one I guarantee is what it appears to be.”
“And the other one?”
“Well, that one is probally what it appears to be. But how can I know? I’m just the one selling it to you.”
“That seems fucked up.”
“Please understand that we take counterfeit goods very seriously.”
“Right….”
Would that apply for “sold and shipped by amazon” items?
I have the second one on that list, and while I’ve got an ROG ally rather than a steam deck, I can tell you it performs quite well. I’m pretty sure these are often recommended for the deck for all the same reasons.
Load times are a little slower for bigger games, but that’s usually just when starting the game up.
Select is the one exclusive for Amazon, my understanding is that it’s meant to help with counterfeit ones, as only Amazon has them. Very good cards either way.
Not sure how it compares price wise right now, but look at the Amazon basics ones too: they’re made by the same company that bought Lexar and makes the emmc inside the 64gb Deck. Mine has been going strong for about a year now. Speed wise they’re essentially the same: the standard used in the Deck tops out at 104 megabytes per second, so any claims of extra speed are just marketing.
I’ve got 3 of the 512GB Evo Plus ones on rotation in the Deck, for my Steam library/game-hoarding-addiction.
I got one of the first batch of UK Steam Decks, and have been running those SD cards since whenever that was. No issues so far.
