Full details
The PNY PRO Elite Prime 1.5TB MicroSDXC memory card is designed for content creators, mobile gamers, and drone enthusiasts who require massive storage capacity and reliable high-speed data transfer.

FAQs
Is this card compatible with my Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck?
Yes, this card is compatible with most devices that accept microSDXC, including the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck, benefiting from the A2 performance rating for faster game loads.
Does the 1.5TB card work in older cameras?
Check your camera manual to see if it supports the SDXC standard and cards up to 1.5TB, as some older hardware has a maximum capacity limitation.
What does the V30 rating mean?
The V30 rating guarantees a minimum sustained write speed of 30MB/s, which is the requirement for stable 4K UHD video recording.
Can I use this in water?
The card is waterproof, meaning it can survive submersion, but you should always dry the card thoroughly before inserting it into a device.
How do I ensure I get the 200MB/s read speeds?
The advertised 200MB/s read speed is achieved specifically when using the PNY Performance Prime Card Reader. Using generic readers may result in slower speeds.
Is the SD adapter required for all devices?
No, the SD adapter is only required for devices with full-size SD card slots; smartphones and many action cameras use the microSD format directly.
Troubleshooting
Device does not recognize the card.
Ensure the card is fully inserted and the device supports the high-capacity SDXC standard. Try formatting the card using the device's built-in format tool.
Slow transfer speeds during file copy.
Confirm you are using a USB 3.0 or higher card reader. For maximum speed, ensure you are using the PNY Performance Prime Card Reader.
Recording errors while capturing 4K video.
Check that the host device is not overheating and ensure there is sufficient free space available. Confirm the card is not write-protected via the adapter switch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the PNY PRO Elite Prime, simply insert the card into the microSD slot of your device.

Before regular use, it is recommended to format the card within your host device's settings menu to ensure full file system compatibility. When not in use, store the card in a protective case to prevent physical damage to the contact points. Avoid bending the card and keep the gold-plated pins clean by gently wiping them with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary.
