FAQs
What is the difference between UHS-I and UHS-II?
UHS-II (Ultra High Speed II) is a newer interface that offers significantly faster data transfer speeds compared to UHS-I. UHS-II cards have an extra row of pins to achieve this, requiring a UHS-II compatible reader and device to benefit from the speed increase.
Do I need a special card reader for this card?
Yes, to achieve the maximum read speeds of 280 MB/s, you will need a UHS-II microSDXC card reader. Using a standard UHS-I reader will limit the card's performance.
What does the V60 rating mean?
The V60 rating guarantees a minimum sustained write speed of 60 MB/s. This is crucial for recording high-resolution video formats like 4K UHD without interruption.
Can I use this card in a device that only supports microSDHC or microSDXC (but not UHS-II)?
Yes, the card is backward compatible. However, it will operate at the speed limitations of the device and card slot, which will be slower than its UHS-II capabilities.
What is the warranty period for this card?
The Lexar Gold Series microSDXC card comes with a 10-year limited warranty.
How should I format the card?
It is generally recommended to format the card within the device you intend to use it in most frequently. You can also format it on a computer using a UHS-II reader, but ensure it is formatted to a compatible file system (e.g., exFAT).
Is this card suitable for everyday photos and general use?
While it offers excellent performance, it is optimized for high-demand tasks like 4K video, RAW photos, and gaming. For general photo storage, a UHS-I card might be sufficient and more cost-effective. However, if you want top-tier performance for all your media, this card will serve you well.
Troubleshooting
Card not recognized by device
Ensure the device supports microSDXC and UHS-II. Try formatting the card in the device or a computer. Clean the card's gold contacts with a dry microfiber cloth.
Slow transfer speeds
Verify that you are using a UHS-II compatible card reader and a USB 3.0 or higher port. Ensure the device you are transferring to/from also supports UHS-II speeds. Check if the card is formatted and not fragmented.
Video recording interrupted or frames dropped
Confirm the device's recording settings do not exceed the card's write speed capabilities (180 MB/s peak, 60 MB/s minimum). Ensure the card is formatted correctly and has sufficient free space.
Unable to save files or errors during transfer
Format the card using the device it will be used with. Check if the card is full. Try using a different card reader or USB port.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Insert the microSDXC card into the designated slot on your compatible device (drone, action camera, gaming device, or camera).
If using with a computer for file transfer, ensure you are using a UHS-II microSDXC card reader connected to a USB 3.0 or higher port for optimal speed.
Format the card within the device it will be primarily used in for best compatibility and performance, if prompted.
Compatibility:
Primary Compatibility: Devices supporting microSDXC, UHS-II, and V60 standards. This includes many high-end action cameras, drones, smartphones, and portable gaming consoles.
Backward Compatibility: The card is backward compatible with microSDXC slots supporting UHS-I and standard SD modes, but will operate at the slower speeds of those standards.
Note: Using the card in a UHS-I or non-UHS slot will limit its performance to the capabilities of that slot.
Care:
Avoid exposing the card to extreme temperatures outside its operating range.
Protect the card from direct physical impact or bending.
Keep the gold contacts clean. If necessary, gently wipe them with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.
Safely eject the card from devices before removing it to prevent data corruption.
