    Does the Onn brand 128GB speeds up to 100/ 50 write such as an SD card, I heard of folks having trouble with Onn, I’ll return it next time I can crawl up there, it’s $15. They had sandisk I should have bought that got a good warranty

  5. @gb1984yt on March 7, 2025 at 3:37 pm

    Man they turned SD cards into early 90s computing

  6. @Elytraz17 on March 7, 2025 at 3:37 pm

    Dear EU, here is another opportunity to save the world. Force them to use a standard method to market the speed.

  11. @Indavour on March 7, 2025 at 3:44 pm

    Also 256gb cards are faster than 128gb cards in terms of writing speeds

  33. @alwinbenjamin on March 7, 2025 at 4:17 pm

    I forgot mini SD even existed. Literally no one used it either sd or micro.

  37. @de04609 on March 7, 2025 at 4:22 pm

    Very good video! Clear and to the point and easy to follow. 10/10 would recommend.

  38. @rackneh on March 7, 2025 at 4:23 pm

    Nobody has made a RGB SD card yet, now I wanna try

  39. @GlobalShorts_786 on March 7, 2025 at 4:24 pm

    Is h2testw still the best way to check that micro sd card

  40. @vampiregoat69 on March 7, 2025 at 4:24 pm

    What about TF cards as I have a device that will only work with them and not a normal micro sd card

    5:15 yes I did, in fact this is the 3rd time I’m here 🙂 It’s so relaxing to not care about memorizing these symbols since I can always come back here and watch Riley explain.

  43. @dalebertdurando1496 on March 7, 2025 at 4:28 pm

    Looking for the older (standard) SD card for a MIO 310x GPS. Everyone says standard SD is only avail up to 2GB, yet I have a few 4GB standard. SDHC won’t work in the MIO. Unless you have a clever keyword, searching standard SD typically give SDHC results. Is there another name for standard SD?

  44. @threesixtydegreeorbits2047 on March 7, 2025 at 4:29 pm

    Certified Riley classic.

  45. @LorenzoAranda-s8l on March 7, 2025 at 4:30 pm

    Thank you so much.. 😅

  46. @davidlarricksmith468 on March 7, 2025 at 4:31 pm

    THANK YOU – this was incredibly helpful!

  47. @toyshanger8945 on March 7, 2025 at 4:31 pm

    It’s really crap in honesty. It was dreadful to buy

  48. @drtnrao57 on March 7, 2025 at 4:32 pm

    Cleared doubts in cards.Thanks.

  49. @OneTheSane on March 7, 2025 at 4:33 pm

    Thank you Riley. Tell Linus to update these a little more often I search SD card buying guide and got this and the his ncix video
