FAQs

What is the difference between UHS-I and UHS-II?

UHS-II (Ultra High Speed II) is a newer bus interface that offers significantly higher potential read and write speeds compared to UHS-I, thanks to an additional row of pins. This card utilizes the UHS-II interface for its top performance.

Do I need a special reader for this card?

Yes, to achieve the maximum advertised speeds (280 MB/s read, 180 MB/s write), you need a UHS-II compatible microSD card reader. Using a UHS-I reader will limit the card's speed.

Can I use this card in a standard SD card slot?

No, this is a microSDXC card. You will need a microSD to SD adapter to use it in a standard SD card slot, and performance will be limited by the adapter and the SD slot's capabilities.

What does V60 mean?

V60 is a video speed class rating that guarantees a minimum sustained write speed of 60 MB/s. This ensures smooth recording of high-resolution video formats like 4K UHD without frame drops.

Is this card suitable for 4K video recording?

Yes, with its V60 rating and high write speeds, it is excellent for recording Full-HD and 4K UHD video.

What is the warranty period for this card?

The Lexar Professional GOLD microSDXC card comes with a 10-year limited warranty.

Can I use this card for my Nintendo Switch or other gaming devices?

Yes, if your gaming device supports microSDXC and UHS-II, this card can enhance game loading times and overall performance. It is specifically mentioned as ideal for UHS-II portable gaming devices.

How do I protect my data if the card fails?

Regularly back up your important files from the card to your computer or cloud storage. While the card is durable, data loss can occur due to physical damage or unforeseen failures. Always safely eject the card before removing it.

Troubleshooting

Card not recognized by device

Ensure the card is fully inserted. Try cleaning the contacts gently with a dry cloth. Test the card in another compatible device or a UHS-II reader to rule out device compatibility issues.

Slow transfer speeds

Verify you are using a UHS-II compatible card reader and that it is connected to a high-speed USB port (USB 3.0 or higher). Ensure the device you are transferring to also has sufficient speed capabilities.

Data corruption or errors

Safely eject the card from your device before removal. Avoid interrupting transfers. If errors persist, try reformatting the card (ensure important data is backed up first) or consider replacing it if the issue is persistent.

Device reports card as full prematurely

Check the actual used space on the card via your computer. Some devices may allocate space for system files; reformatting the card might resolve this. Ensure you are not experiencing file system corruption.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly faster file transfer speeds compared to UHS-I cards.
  • Excellent for capturing high-resolution video (4K UHD) and continuous burst photography.
  • Ideal for users who frequently move large files between devices.
  • Robust build quality for use in various environments.
  • Enhances the performance of compatible UHS-II portable gaming devices.

Cons

  • Requires a UHS-II compatible reader to achieve maximum speeds.
  • Can be more expensive than UHS-I cards.
  • May offer overkill performance for basic photography or casual use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply insert the microSDXC card into the compatible slot of your device (drone, action camera, smartphone, gaming console, etc.). Ensure your device supports microSDXC and UHS-II for optimal performance. To achieve maximum transfer speeds, use a dedicated UHS-II microSD card reader connected to a USB 3.0 or higher port on your computer.

Compatibility: This card is backward compatible with UHS-I devices, but will operate at UHS-I speeds. It is also compatible with older microSDHC/SDXC devices, but performance will be limited to the device's capabilities.

Care: Avoid exposing the card to extreme temperatures outside its operating range. Keep the card dry and clean. Clean the gold contacts gently with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary. Do not bend or apply excessive force to the card. Always safely eject the card from your device before removing it to prevent data corruption.
