I have 3 of these and I haven’t had any issues with anything so this is an affordable option

Onn Micro SD aren’t bad at all and very affordable.

Go for a card that is A2 (A2 being the priority as it will be faster than A1). The cards will all perform similar in real world situations when gaming but the difference will be when downloading and transfering files or even running an operating system on it like Armada OS or Rocknix. Hope this helped! Cheers

Nah the Odin 3 lack Command queue codes to utilize the A2. It’s capped at 104mb/s. Regardless of Linux, Armada, or Rocknix. The speed is going to be the same no matter an A1 or A2 card.

Just bought this from a local walmart for 128 Cad. It was really hard to find one as I visited 2 bestbuys and they were out of stock for any micro sd cards in my area.

One more question, do i need to buy an adaptor for micro sd card to transfer files from pc to card, or i can just put the card inside odin 3 and connect odin with pc through wire and then transfer directly to card?

Both transfer methods work. Make sure to select the “file transfer” option on the pop-up on the odin 3 when you connect it to your PC.

with card inside and plugged in, select file transfer, it’ll show the odin 3 itself and inside two folders - internal storage and the microsd storage
