Is SanDisk worth it?

Go to solution Solved by W-L,

I am looking for a new SD Card, I have heard linus say that it is very good.

 

2 that I am looking at :

 

PNY Elite Performance 64GB 90MB/s: http://amzn.to/1zstNVO

 

San Disk Ultra 64GB 40MB/s : http://amzn.to/1yiXaZ6

 

Is it worth it to pay more for less speed

 

Go with the ones with the best deal, Sandisk cards are more of a premium brand and reliability are considered to be slightly better.

 

I've got a few Lexar ones I got on sale and use every week or so and haven't had any problems yet:
