Samsung 128GB 100MB/s (U3) MicroSD EVO Select Memory Card with Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWZWYVP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_OgbVBb9YM27TN
Reporting in with my experience. Not sure why other people have issues with the samsung cards. So YMMV. I have this one:
https://smile.amazon.com/Samsung-MicroSD-Adapter-MB-ME128GA-AM/dp/B06XWZWYVP
And was able to run it on my Yi4K+ @ 4K 30fps using the bitrate mod to record @ 150mbps for around 45 minutes straight breaking it up with 4GB files. It has not failed me yet (knock on wood) and I've recorded at least 20 Volleyball games ranging between 2.7K30 @ 100MBs and 4K30 @150mbps with an average length of 45 minutes. I record using an external battery attached to keep the heat down. I've ordered those U3/A1 sandisks and they work fine (4K30 and 2.7K60) but max size 64GB. I am sometimes worried about the fakes floating around on Amazon for Sandisks. Last sandisk U3/A2 I ordered, the card and packaging had different A ratings. Card had A2 but packaging had A1. The card speed was slower than my older Sandisk cards using a benchmark app. I read somewhere that the Green Samsung sd cards are sold by Amazon only and that they are the same as the red version. So I tried it out and it worked for me. Maybe this will help with your decision.
I use a cable exactly like that one and am having (mostly) zero issues so I don't think it's the cable itself. I am a firm believer that even via OTG any given flash stick or (micro) SD card is still hit or miss. I have four different microSD cards and several different adapters & I said "(mostly)" because my 4, 16, and 128 GB cards all work with every adapter.... but my 200GB card does not work with ANY of the adapters, at all. It just boots to stock despite the fact there's nothing wrong with that specific card.
All in all, I'd chalk the slowdown to either 1.) not enough power from whatever power source you are using, 2). a bad/corrupted/incompatible microSD card, 3.) a bad microSD reader/adapter, 4.) corrupt game files, or 5.) any combination of 1-4. I very much doubt it's the cable, but as I said... I think regardless of OTG the entire thing is STILL very finicky and picky. OTG does not equate guaranteed compatibility & I think too many people are under the assumption that it does - then are surprised when their stick or card doesn't work.
Here is the setup I have:

Great price at Amazon right now: Samsung 128GB 100MB/s (U3) MicroSD EVO Select Memory Card with Adapter (MB-ME128GA/AM) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWZWYVP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_80nNBb82K6WPJ
last 2 i have for my S7 have been the Samsung EVO select from amazon. 100 mb read 90 write. got a 64 just changed 3 months to a 256 when it was on sale
Sounds like a fake or faulty card - leaning towards fake.
I only buy Samsung or Sandisk. I only buy from Amazon direct (not Amazon sellers) or from Bestbuy/Fry's.
Amazon has some good deals right now on 128 cards:
Samsung - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWZWYVP/ref=twister_B071R715MZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I would go with Samsung as they have never given me any issues.
I recommended these

You can pick the size the suits you best.
Thank you for including "smile" in your Amazon link. For anyone that sees this that are unaware of Amazon's Smile program, replacing "www" with "smile" on an Amazon link before ordering anything from them will cause them to donate a portion of the order to the charity of your choice at no extra cost to you. https://smile.amazon.com/
The two linked micro SD cards linked by the parent post are a little bit more expensive than I would have liked for an SD card, so I went with a different U3 speed class card which claims to do 90MB/s write speed for about half price.
I ordered https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XWZWYVP?th=1 128 GB Samsung EVO micro SD card for $44.99 and even though I'm not a Prime member, was able to get it with free same day shipping. It's shipping to an Amazon locker which I think is even nicer since I don't have to worry about a thief following the Fedex/UPS truck around the neighborhood stealing the recently delivered packages off of doorsteps (a frequent problem in this neighborhood)
Using this at the moment, works great.
This might partially explain the failing of Fakespot, but it doesn't excuse it. The reviews are mixed only for variants of a specific model, in this case and most others. You can select "See all reviews" and change the "Format" drop-down to select the reviews for the specific variant. Unfortunately, amazon does not provide an adjusted aggregate score for the selected variant, but with a little effort you can ascertain that the reviews are still good.
Here is another example where Fakespot berates the reviews for a Samsung product. We are supposed to believe that a large percentage of the 100,000 reviews were manipulated in some way.
The best analyses were done by ReviewMeta. However they have been silenced by powers yet unrevealed. Yes, the website is back up, but they have not refreshed their scores in many months.
nothing special. amazon prime shipped samsung U3 100MB/s
$1 more trusted source and safe return path
or save a $1 and get the sandisk version $22

you can get them even cheaper if you buy amazon new/used around $23/$20
