Frequently Asked Questions
Do these microSD cards come with an SD adapter?
Some do. The Transcend microSDXC cards in this range are sold with an SD adapter in the box, which lets the same card work in a full size SD slot on a camera or laptop reader. Other cards are supplied bare, so check the product title before you order.
What capacities can I get?
The range covers 128GB, 256GB and 512GB. Transcend spans all three capacities, and Kingston is listed at 128GB. Pick the capacity by how the device writes, since a dashcam consumes far more card space than a phone does.
Can I order a memory card with cash on delivery in Pakistan?
Yes. Orders can be paid by cash on delivery or by online payment, and delivery runs nationwide across Pakistan. If you prefer to buy in person, the Karachi showroom carries the range.
MicroSD and SD memory cards from Kingston and Transcend in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB, many of them supplied with an SD adapter for cameras and card readers.
MicroSD and SD Memory Cards
MicroSD memory cards make up the bulk of this category, and several of them come with an SD adapter in the box so one card serves a phone, a camera and a laptop card reader. People buy from here to top up a handset that ran out of room, to feed a dashcam that records on a loop, or to carry footage off a camera between shoots. The cards are small, cheap to replace and easy to lose, which is why most buyers pick up more than one.
Two brands sit on the shelf: Kingston and Transcend. Transcend covers the wider spread, with microSD cards at 128GB, 256GB and 512GB, including a microSDXC line packed with an SD adapter. Kingston appears at 128GB. The price spread runs from entry level cards suited to a spare phone or a dashcam through to premium cards at the top capacity, a wide gap for a piece of hardware you can hide under a fingernail.
Capacity is the first decision, and buyers miss it in both directions. A 128GB card fills within days in a device that writes video around the clock, while a 512GB card in a phone that holds photos and a few offline albums leaves most of the spend idle. The second decision is the adapter. A card that ships with an SD adapter drops into a full size SD slot without a second purchase, whereas a bare microSD card assumes you own a reader. Third, split the risk. Two 256GB cards keep half your footage safe if one card fails or goes missing on a trip, which a single 512GB card cannot do.
Matching the card to the device
Phones and tablets with a card slot take a bare microSD card on its own, so the adapter adds nothing. Dashcams and trail cameras overwrite the same card thousands of times, and anyone running one all day keeps a second card ready to swap in. Photographers working with a body that has a full size SD slot want the microSD cards that include an adapter, since one purchase then covers both the camera and a phone. Handheld consoles and single board computers sit at the other end, where a 128GB card holds more than most owners fill.
Mega Computer sells these cards new, under the warranty terms the card maker sets. You can inspect the range in person at the Karachi showroom, and orders ship with nationwide delivery across Pakistan. Payment goes through cash on delivery or online payment, whichever suits the order.
Format a new card inside the device that will use it rather than on a PC, so the camera or phone writes to a layout it built itself. Keep the plastic adapter even when the current device does not need it, because the next one might. And label your cards if you carry several, since a 128GB card and a 512GB card look identical in a pocket.
