The Samsung Galaxy Book2 only has one storage option, 128GB. That's not a small amount of storage, and might be enough for many students and workers who use the cloud, but if you have larger entertainment files or photos, you'll want to expand your device's storage.

The Samsung Evo Select is in the fastest class of microSD cards. Its 100MB/s and 90MB/s upload speeds can transfer large files quickly whether you're moving them from your internal hard drive to the microSD card or taking footage or files from another device and placing them onto your Galaxy Book2.

It's important to note that the speeds of the Samsung Evo Select vary on the size of the card you purchase. The speeds we list above come with the 128GB variant of the card.

You can use this microSD card as a permanent storage expansion on the Galaxy Book2 or use it to move files around all of your devices.

Fast and easy file transfers

Using a microSD card provides you with both flexibility and convenience. You can leave the card in your device permanently to expand your storage or use it as portable storage that you can move between devices. Many cameras and phones also work with microSD cards, so being able to physically move your card across devices speeds up file transfers without adding complicated steps.

This is one of the best values you can get when it comes to increasing your Galaxy Book 2.

Windows 10 works well with external storage devices. You can place files, videos, songs, and even many applications on your microSD card. That means you can have more on your device without taking up the built-in storage space on the hard drive.

Alternatives to Samsung Evo Select
