Samsung Memory Cards Compared

Difference between Samsung EVO Plus and PRO Plus memory cards

Samsung has two types of (micro)SD cards: the EVO Plus and the PRO Plus series. Below, we explain the similarities and differences between the two, so you can find out which series is best suited to you.

Similarities

First of all, whichever Samsung card you choose, you are choosing quality. Both the EVO Plus and PRO Plus series are available as microSD and standard SD cards. A regular SD card is used, for example, in your camera, while the micro version is mainly used in action cams, drones or tablets. Whether you have a Samsung device or not, Samsung memory cards fit any type of device with a memory card slot. Samsung offers cards starting from 32GB, going up to as much as 512GB. A 32GB card can store more than 5,500 photos, while the largest card can hold over 88,000 4K images.

Both series offer fast transfer speeds and can read and write larger files without any problems. The cards with higher storage capacities, 128GB for the EVO and 64GB for the PRO, also have a U3/V30 speed class. This guarantees a minimum write speed of 30MB/s and is essential for recording 4K video.

Both Samsung’s standard SD cards and microSD cards are made to high quality standards. Thanks to their extensive 7-proof protection, you can take your memory card anywhere. All cards are resistant to tough conditions and intensive use, and come with a 10-year limited warranty. Samsung cards are water- and temperature-resistant, can withstand X-rays and magnetic fields, and are shock- and drop-resistant. With a Samsung memory card, you also do not have to worry about wear after frequent use.

Differences

But what exactly are the differences between the EVO Plus and PRO Plus series? The main differences are in the transfer speeds and speed classes.

Are you looking for a fast, high-quality (micro)SD card for everyday use, but do not want to pay a premium price? Samsung’s EVO Plus series combines quality and affordability. Cards from the EVO series reach transfer speeds of up to 130MB/s. This allows you to transfer your files to your PC in no time. The 128GB and larger (micro)SD cards are equipped with a U3 and V30 speed class, making them ideal for 4K videos. All cards in the EVO series naturally offer Samsung’s high build quality.

For demanding users, Samsung also offers the PRO Plus series. Cards in this series read your files even faster. Both the microSD and standard SD cards read at speeds of up to 180MB/s and write at speeds of up to 130MB/s. This makes them faster than the EVO versions. They are ideal when you need to export your files very quickly under time pressure. Within the PRO series, you can choose cards with storage capacities ranging from 64GB to 512GB.

Both the EVO Plus and PRO Plus series consist of high-quality (micro)SD cards. The choice depends on the storage capacity and transfer speed you need.
