Best Storage & SD Cards: From $100 to $250

Which speed class actually matters, UFS vs eMMC, and the cards worth trusting your library to. This lane covers the $100–$250 picks.

  1. 01

    Samsung PRO Plus 256GB microSDXC (180MB/s, A2 / V30)

    4.7/5

    Faster A2/V30 microSD rated to 180MB/s read

    Earns its spot

    • Rated up to 180MB/s read with A2 app performance — a real-world speed edge over entry cards
    • V30/U3 class; includes an SD adapter

    Know first

    • Rated read speed is a ceiling, not a guarantee on a UHS-I handheld slot
    • Costs more than an entry V30 card for gains you may not see on every device
