What is the write speed? null

It is very difficult to find the manufacturer's published write speed for the 200 GB Micro SD card. In my daily use of the product (for the past 6 months) in my Surface Pro 4, the write speed I have seen averages only 10-15 Mb/s. The card will burst up to close to 20 Mb/s, but down-burst quickly, and sometimes stalls for 2-3 seconds between files when copying a large number of files to the card. In comparison, I recently purchased the Samsung EVO+ 256 GB Micro SD, and noticed that it does out perform the SanDisk, notably with the write speed (Samsung's write speed averages 70 Mb/s in my experience). However, the Samsung card cost me $200 (price match), a substantial difference for the extra 56 GBs.
