Which SD card to buy?

[Hollywood]

I just bought a 256gb Steam Deck. I am looking for a new SD card to expand the storage.

I am currently looking at 2 cards.

1 TB Silicon Power Superior A2 - $56
512 GB Samsung EVO Plus A2 - $28

I am leaning towards the SP card because it's 1TB. However, I am not sure how fast or reliable the SP Superior card is compared to Samsung EVO Plus.

Since the prices are the same, I could also buy 2 Samsung EVO Plus SD cards.

Which SD card would you suggest buying?

Are the Samsung EVO Select and EVO Plus the same SD cards?

PRO Plus or EVO Select, not Evo Plus. PRO Plus is better than EVO Select.

Samsung Pro Plus SD cards are 3 times the price of the EVO Plus SD cards where I live.

Well, buy a EVO Plus or look for other options :)

I have a SanDisk Extreme one and I'm pretty happy with it. One of the best ones for SD.

I have the Lexar PLAY 1TB microSDXC UHS-1 (A2 U3 V30). I know it isn't on your list but it has been good to me! What an alphabet soup that is.

on the amazon listing for the silicon power card it says
