It did great in its "The Best Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite Accessories" roundup where it was named its "Ranked 2 out of 11", which, in itself, makes it a product worth considering.

It did great in their roundups - it was named "Best speed for mobile" by techadvisor.com, "Best Storage Options" by reviewgeek.com, and "Some extra storage is great no matter which Samsung phone or Gear VR headset you're using. Samsung just happens to offer the best value for microSD." by Android Central. That alone points toward it being worthy of consideration.
