any Chinese brand of MicroSD card from Aliexpress is reliable and safe? many brands are of low quality
 
None if you care for your data. If data is not your important thing, you could try it out, but remember it was your idea.

Samsung and Sandisk, PNY, Verbatim have very cheap SD card's available, so why would you choose for an unknown brand, and risk a fake one?
Even an Amazon Basics SD card is safer.

In buying anything from AliExpress, be aware that you might get a decent quality product, and you might not. No one here is going to recommend anything you get from there, because it's too unstable. There are no guarantees for anything you get....
 
We told the TS in three other topics already to NOT BUY storage media from AliExpress, but he still persists... I give up.

At TS; Before you buy Ali trash, look at this first what you buy there... Even REAL known brands are available there, but it's all FAKE!



But it's your money.
 
For an SSD i would take Crucial MX500 or BX500 (cheapest SSD)
Around 24 dollar for 500GB. 46 dollar for 1TB.

Micro-SD look in your other topic where i named numerous good known brands of Micro-SD card.
 
Also this one;

Silicon Power 1TB SSD 3D NAND A55 for 39 dollar.​

 
Only if you feel like rolling the dice.
 
As stated. Stick with name brand stuff from known good sources like Amazon, Newegg, etc. It is fine to penny pinch but remember buy once cry once. Cheap will leave you in a heap. Besides, saving what, 5-20 bucks really worth risk of data loss (BTW, please backup, I am expensive)?

I bought two ELDINGU microSD cards. One 32GB red/gold from Temu advertised as A1, that ended up not being A1 but otherwise good enough and one 64GB B/W from Ali that was advertised as A2 and it was pretty OK. Prices where 3.98 euros and 2.59 euros respectively (yes the 64GB ended up cheaper). Both passed the test with h2testw, so I guess the data sizes are real.
Of course you never believe those "4TB for $2" ads, try to find sales with free shipping, hundred of reviews with photos from CrystalDiskMark and h2testw tests before buying anything. It's not a case of brand. There are plenty of fake Lenovo cards on Ali at least for exmple. Also you pay using PayPal.

Don't know about their MicroSDs, but a couple of 1TB SSDs that I bought seem to be really good for DRAMless models, much better than known brands. Of course I only have them for a week or two and haven't really used them for many hours, so I might change my opinion latter. Obviously non critical data where stored there, like PC games from EPIC and Steam.
