Title: Quick (I hope) computer question
Post by: Hawkmoon 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?

SanDisk. Always had good luck with them.

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.

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.
