Product Information

Full details

This 128GB Lexar High-Performance 800x SDXC UHS-I card is ideal for users of point-and-shoot cameras, mid-range DSLRs, and HD camcorders who need to capture high-quality photos and 1080p Full-HD/4K UHD video. Its key benefit is offering fast transfer speeds up to 120MB/s, significantly speeding up workflow. A potential caveat is that while it supports UHS-I, it may not reach its maximum potential in older devices that do not support this standard.

FAQs

What is the difference between SDHC and SDXC?

SDHC cards have a capacity of up to 32GB, while SDXC cards can hold more than 32GB, up to 2TB. This Lexar card is SDXC, offering a larger 128GB capacity.

Is this card suitable for 4K video recording?

Yes, with a Video Speed Class of V30 and UHS Speed Class 3 (U3), this card is suitable for recording 4K UHD video.

What does 'UHS-I' mean?

UHS-I (Ultra High Speed I) is a bus interface standard that allows for higher data transfer speeds compared to standard SD cards. This card leverages UHS-I for speeds up to 120MB/s read.

How durable is this card?

The card is designed to be resistant to shock, extreme temperatures (operating: 0-70°C, storage: -25-85°C), water, vibration, and X-rays, making it suitable for various environments.

Can I use this card in older cameras that only support SD or SDHC?

While the card is SDXC, it is backward compatible with SDHC and SD slots. However, it will operate at the maximum speed supported by the older device, which will be significantly slower than its UHS-I capabilities.

What is the maximum write speed?

The maximum write speed for this card is 45 MB/s.

How do I properly format this card?

It is recommended to format the card in the device (camera or camcorder) where it will be primarily used. You can also use a computer, but ensure you use a file system compatible with your devices (exFAT is standard for SDXC).

Troubleshooting

Card not recognized by device

Ensure the card is fully inserted. Try cleaning the gold contacts with a dry, lint-free cloth. Test the card in another compatible device or use a different SD card in the original device to isolate the problem. Reformat the card if data is not critical (note: reformatting erases all data).

Slow transfer speeds

Verify that your computer's card reader and USB port support UHS-I speeds. Ensure you are using a reader rated for at least 120MB/s. Close other applications running in the background that might be consuming system resources during transfer.

Cannot save files or 'card full' error despite available space

The file system may be corrupted. Try backing up your data and reformatting the card using the camera or camcorder. Ensure the card is not write-protected (if applicable via a physical switch on an adapter).

Device error message related to the card

Remove and reinsert the card. If the error persists, try formatting the card (back up data first). If formatting fails or the error continues, the card may be damaged and should be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fast read speeds (up to 120MB/s) accelerate file transfers and workflow.
  • Sufficient write speed (up to 45MB/s) for most everyday shooting needs.
  • Robust protection features (water, temp, shock, vibration, X-ray proof) ensure data safety.
  • U3 and V30 ratings suitable for 4K video recording.
  • Large 128GB capacity accommodates extensive photo and video collections.

Cons

  • Write speed may not be sufficient for very high-end professional cinema cameras.
  • UHS-I speed is limited by the host device's capabilities.
  • Class 10 performance is standard and may be outpaced by newer UHS-II or UHS-III cards in top-tier devices.
  • Card dimensions (140mm x 100mm x 5mm) are standard but might appear large compared to microSD cards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Simply insert the Lexar High-Performance 800x SDXC card into the SD card slot of your compatible camera, camcorder, or computer. Ensure the card is oriented correctly before insertion to avoid damage. The device should automatically recognize the card.

Compatibility:

This is an SDXC card and requires an SDXC-compatible device. It is designed for point-and-shoot cameras, mid-range DSLRs, and HD camcorders. It utilizes UHS-I technology, so for optimal performance, ensure your device supports UHS-I. It is also backward compatible with SDHC devices, but will perform at the lower speed of the host device.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the card to extreme temperatures outside its operating range (0-70°C).
  • Handle the card carefully and avoid dropping it, though it is designed to be shock-resistant.
  • Keep the gold contacts clean. If necessary, gently wipe them with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.
  • Store the card in a protective case when not in use, especially when exposed to elements like water or dust.
