Ok after more purchases and trial and error, I found one card that works.
Ref the following:
First, I wasn’t interested in any A1 cards. The one pictured was one that I already had available, though, it is one of only two that worked but with an undesired write speed.
-
The first card I purchased (SanDisk Extreme) for this project was the one from the list linked in the recommended post. This card happens to be from Malaysia. (Sold by and Shipped by Amazon).
-
Next, I purchased several more from other listings. I ended up with some made in China and some made in Malaysia. None of The SanDisk Extreme A2’s worked.
-
I also got a SanDisk Extreme Pro A2, this one also did not work.
-
My old SanDisk Plus A1 does work.
-
And finally, my new Samsung Evo Select A2 (Amazon brand) does work.
Next here are the benchmarks I got (Though I think my usb reader maxes at 95MB/s)
Sam Evo select R:95 / W:65
SD Ultra plus A1 R:95 / W:46
SD Extreme Pro R:95 / W:85
SD(M) Extreme R:95 / W:80
SD(C) Extreme R:95 / W:85
So I think I’m just going to stop here for now. My samsung isn’t getting the write speed that i’m familiar with but it’s still faster than my spare card. For the record, all of my other IoT projects are using the SD Extreme A2’s but this is the only device that gives me this trouble.
