Nice!  I'd rather have a really durable, decent speed card with a lifetime warranty (for the unlikely event that I need it) than some ridiculous capacity like 2 TB that no one should ever have in a micro SD

Very neat. I might buy one for my gopro, oh wait... I don't go adventure shit.

I get why but... i kinda dont see the need, all the microSD cards iv used to date (mostly sandisk extreme or extreme pro) have been fine dispite being put through hell...(water, impacts, sand, snow and ice etc)...

 

If there a similar price then fair enough but if theres a noticable price premium I just really see them selling.
