@rickz The Samsung EVO works well. In fact, I'm using the 256GB version and had the very same issue as you have.
Install one of the older recalbox-versions, like the 4.0.1 or 4.0.2. Shouldn't they work, then go with even an older one. Unfortunately I don't remember which version I used for it but I think it was an 3.x-version.
@Substring The issue is that the newer ones actually do not install but just boot the OS on Samsung-cards. I had no problems installing it with an older version.
