ADATA Premier microSDHC Memory Card - 32GB

It took less than 2 years on a barely used Nintendo Switch
Became read only, couldn't turn off the read only flag
This is far sooner and far worse outcome than I thought I would get, I've never had a microsd card fail in a switch or any other device.
Won't be using ADATA again. It took less than 2 years on a barely used Nintendo Switch

Its working very well, its a very good product and cheap also. Its working very well, its a very good product and cheap also.

Used in a Nintendo Switch OLED, it was working fine, until it didn't. It just stopped being usable by the Switch, although it did detect it was inserted & removed.
On a PC I could read the card to back up the Nintendo folder, but it remains to be seen if the copy is actually usable.
Formatting the card failed. Even MiniTool Partition Wizard failed to format it properly even after deleting the partitons and reformatting.
The 'Nintendo' folder always remained on the card, even after formatting. It's as though the card is permanently write-protected.
Other cards work fine in the Switch, including an old 4GB and a 32GB card. Used in a Nintendo Switch OLED, it was working fine, until it didn't. It just stopped being usable by the Switch, although it did detect it was inserted & removed.

I bought this to store my ebooks and offline music on, it works perfectly. All the storage I could need for a very reasonable price - great value. Would recommend.

This is maybe not a high end memory card, but it is doing its work and I'm happy with it.
Write and read speed are very good for my requirements. This is maybe not a high end memory card, but it is doing its work and I'm happy with it.

Was unable to format via cmd, etc. hence binned it. Was unable to format via cmd, etc. hence binned it.

Good and good price too. Good and good price too.

I paired this Adata Premier 32Gb with the Tapo C120 security camera and it worked well for 3 weeks, that is just one full write cycle.
It can no longer be formatted and is now toast, I have other micoSD cards in Xiaomi cameras and they tend to last about 2 years of use.
I did not expect a very long life span, as is a low priced low spec storage card, maybe I was unlucky with a bad example. I paired this Adata Premier 32Gb with the Tapo C120 security camera and it worked well for 3 weeks, that is just one full write cycle.

Exactly what I needed fast data transfer speed would highly recommend. I should have picked up a couple more for the price, grate buy! Exactly what I needed fast data transfer speed would highly recommend. I should have picked up a couple more for the price, grate buy!
