How it compares on the memory cards & storage shelf
The typical memory cards & storage product on our shelf scores 4.6 out of 5, measured across 50 rated products. This one comes in at 4.4. That lands in the bottom quarter. Nothing alarming on its own, though at this money you can find better-rated neighbours, so there should be a particular reason for choosing it.
That score rests on 2,549 ratings. The median for this shelf is 12,973. That's a thin base for this shelf. A score from a small number of buyers can move a long way on a handful of new reviews, so treat it as a first impression rather than a settled verdict.
On money, this sits in the top third of a shelf running from £5.94 to £189, with the midpoint around £20.99. Paying above the middle of the shelf needs a reason the star rating does not supply, because on ratings alone the extra money is not buying an advantage here.
