Pros & Cons

Pros

✓ Up to 130MB/s read speed with U3, Class 10, V30 and UHS-I ratings
✓ A2 rating supports running apps directly off the card, not just storage
✓ 10-year limited warranty from Samsung
✓ Six-proof build: water, temperature, X-ray, magnet, drop and wearout resistant

Cons

✗ Full 130MB/s speed claim requires pairing with the included Samsung adapter
✗ Advertised speed applies to 128GB and up; the 64GB sibling is only U1
✗ No write-speed figure published, so sustained 4K capture headroom is unclear
✗ 256GB fills fast if you install many modern console titles

Manufacturer description

The Samsung EVO Plus 256GB microSDXC (MB-MC256KA/AM, 2021) is built for people who keep running out of room on a Switch, an Android phone, or a 4K action camera. Bundled with a full-size SD adapter, this Samsung memory card reads at up to 130MB/s and carries U3, Class 10, A2, V30, and UHS-I ratings, so large game installs load quickly and 4K video records without dropped frames. The A2 rating matters if you store apps directly on the card: random read and write performance is specified for running software, not just parking files on it. Samsung backs the EVO Plus with six-proof protection…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Samsung EVO Plus w/SD Adaptor 256GB Micro SDXC using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the PC & gaming hardware category. Samsung's PC & gaming hardware lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for PC & gaming hardware of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
