RE: My Amazon Wish List

I honestly don't know, I just did a lot of testing in the past and realized the EVO / EVO+ is much quicker on a Raspberry Pi and not by a little. The difference with random IO is as much as 0.5MB/s to 8MB/s. Many of the cards performed really poorly with random IO, so if your Pi is doing something even a little IO intensive, the difference is massive.

There is also another guy who tested all SD cards on the Pi and had similar results.

It has been a while since I have extensively tested it but the EVO+ has performed well enough and are still cheap. The Raspberry Pi 4 has made big improvements to how SD cards are accessed and helps a lot with the low end performance providing as much as 100% improvement.

I did do a quick search and there seems there are even better cards (still from Samsung) but significantly more expensive and the difference is very minor but you can clearly see how far ahead they are over everyone else.
