Both of my 64GB class 10 Sandisk micro SD cards died due to overheating as well - though they didn't melt

Probably not but it keeps low effort posts like yours from becoming the norm. You should change it.

@nerdslayer1 I was going to mention the posting guidelines but it looks like they've already been brought up and ignored so I've moved this to the relevant non-news section.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

But it's not? o_O (or is it just the forums being slow? :P) 

 

Hmmmm...I'm pretty sure out of the 25 or so SD/Micro SD/thumb drives, 22 of em are sandisk...ah fack...

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

Not to play mod and smack you or anything but the point is you did not post according to the guidelines set forth by the forum administration for this section. No one is crying about nothing, you obviously have been on the forum for some time now so you are aware of the rules - at least I would like to give you the benefit of a doubt here - Just throwing anything into the fray is not accepted and thus so the Mod moved your post away from the section until you adjust the post to the proper format. 

Rules are rules whether you like 'em or not. You did agree to the CS or then then old CoC when you decided to become a member of this forum.

After having been reminded of the error you could have just adjusted the post and said 'thanks for that' and moved on.

ok.. so the lesson is people have to do exactly as written, someone does something another way reason being time constraint is wrong. "thanks for that" i love it when people tell others to complement them, it shows how awesome there character is. look the reason i posted like this is to share information quickly, sorry if I made you mad, my intention is to show a flaw in a product so no one else makes the same mistake. guidelines are meant to be followed but i didn't have time to make my post look good, now it's too late and i really don't care.

You've posted enough times afterwards to clearly show you had time to fix the error.

 

I can buy the "I didn't have time!" argument for the original post. With the explicit intention that you'd come back later and fix it when you had time.

 

Many news posters do that - posting the basics, with a note at the bottom of the post saying "Will clean up and add more when I get time later", or something similar.

 

Also, he's not mad. I mean, I can clearly see that. He's just... confused, by your actions.

Back on topic, or what the topic should have been, if SanDisk SD cards are suspect, which it appears to be, what is the recommended level for (for example) Samsung? Should we be bumping up to the 840 Evo+ line, or their Pro+ line? What is the line for worthwhile investment (aka - not melting your Switch components or losing your game save)?

 

Almost as importantly, was it the speed class marking that was causing the melting? Are class 3s more likely to run into problems across the board?

 

For reference: Speed Classes on micro SD Cards and Research as to speed of different cards on load times.

Been using a Sandisk 128gb microSD in my Switch through over a hundred hours of use (not including standby time), nothing's gone wrong yet.

Heh, doesn't surprise me as I have never seen a decent SD from sandisk. The ones I have are all under what they're even suppose to be, and tend to overheat when in use.
