Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this card in my DSLR camera?

Yes, the included SD adapter allows you to use this card in devices that require full-sized SD cards.

What is the A1 rating?

The A1 rating indicates the card is optimized for random read/write speeds, allowing it to handle application operations effectively.

Is this card waterproof?

While the card is designed for durability and temperature resistance, it is not explicitly rated for water submersion.

Why is the available capacity less than 256GB?

A portion of the storage is used for the file system and management overhead, which is standard for all flash storage devices.

Can I use this card in a Nintendo Switch?

Yes, this MicroSDXC card is compatible with most gaming consoles that accept high-capacity SD cards.

Troubleshooting

Device does not recognize the SD card

Ensure the card is fully inserted into the slot. If still undetected, re-insert or try formatting the card using a computer to ensure it uses the exFAT file system.

Slow performance during 4K recording

Check that the camera app is configured to save directly to the SD card and verify that the host device is compliant with V30 speed class requirements.

Apps are crashing or loading slowly

Verify that your Android version supports running apps from external storage and clear the app cache within the system settings.
