Some extra info for lurkers: Yes, the I226-V is working with ASPM turned off, but if you turn ASPM on the system will freeze after some time. If you do not care about higher energy consumption, go for it. See this post for more info. EDIT: I got another i226-T1 with i226-V controller. This time one with one ethernet port instead of two. The card ran without problems for 2,5 days straight by now, even with powertop --auto-tune and activated ASPM. I recognized no problems or slow speeds, but it has only been 2,5 days. I will update in a few weeks. EDIT 2: yep, still working perfectly after some weeks

I can confirm this. After I first received the SanDisk MobileMate with bend pins and returned it, I got lucky and bought a Samsung Pro Ultimate for just 13€ including SD-Card reader. My high endurance microSD already came with one of those microSD to SD adapters, I just successfully activated it. Samsung Pro Ultimate SD with Reader - currently 20€ on Amazon (Europe) (15€ for 64GB Version) This seems to bee cheaper than any Samsung Pro Plus combination with an microSD Reader. But it is bulky.
