    Damn, literally just bought a card yesterday and this would have been useful lol. Saw a review online the 1 Tb san disk pro extreme was good and seems to work just fine so lucky enough I guess.

      SanDisk Extreme Pro is one of the best, in my opinion, they excel in IOPS for small random read and write which is especially important when using it in a computer like Steam Deck or Raspberry Pi. A lot of other SD cards are optimized for cameras where it is writing a lot of sequential data, but are slower in small reads and writes.

        Thanks for the insight! Glad to know it was a good purchase. Although, got burned hard on a phony from Amazon. Thought it was my deck, but SD card I picked up from MicroCenter works like a charm. Will likely never get electronic hardware from Amazon again.
