Quick (I hope) computer question
« on: March 26, 2018, 11:25:36 PM »
Awhile back I picked up a Microsoft Surface 3 tablet from Amazon. (Not the wide-aspect Surface Pro.) On-board storage is (I think) a nominal 150 GB. I'm unlikely to use that all up doing what I have in mind, but the Surface does have a microSD card slot, so I'd like to toss a card in there and use that for data files to preserve the on-board space for programs (or "apps," as Windows 10 insists on calling them).

If I'm going to do it, I think I'll just go for a 128 GB card so I only do it once. I found on Amazon a Samsung EVO and a SanDisk Ultra, both priced withon about 50 cents of each other. Which one should I choose?

How much porn can you store on 128 GB?

I have used the Sandisk over the years with only one going bad. Now I use Microcenter house branded for everything and have only had one not work right out of the box.

Test your card a few times right off the bat if it works new you should be good to go.
Sometimes we carry more weight then we owe.
And sometimes goes on and on and on.

All the gun porn I can fit -- that's all I'll have left after David Hogg takes away all the real guns.

SanDisk it is -- thanks.
