FAQs
What is the difference between UHS Speed Class 3 (U3) and Video Speed Class 30 (V30)?
UHS Speed Class 3 (U3) guarantees a minimum sequential write speed of 30MB/s for devices using the UHS bus. Video Speed Class 30 (V30) guarantees a minimum sequential write speed of 30MB/s, specifically for video recording, ensuring smooth capture of 4K and higher resolutions.
Can I use this card in devices that only support MicroSDHC?
While many devices designed for MicroSDHC may recognize this MicroSDXC card, compatibility is not guaranteed, and it might only recognize up to 32GB. Always check your device's specifications.
How do I format the Kioxia EXCERIA G2 card?
Insert the card into your device or a card reader connected to your computer. Navigate to the storage settings on your device or use your computer's disk management tools to format the card. Select 'exFAT' or 'FAT32' as the file system (exFAT is recommended for capacities over 32GB).
What does A1 application performance mean?
A1 certification means the card is optimized to run applications directly on it, offering better random read/write performance than non-A1 cards. This results in faster app loading times and a smoother user experience when apps are stored on the card.
Is the card resistant to water and extreme temperatures?
Yes, the Kioxia EXCERIA G2 card features waterproof, heat-resistant, and shock-resistant protection, making it suitable for use in various environmental conditions.
What is the warranty period for this card?
Warranty information can vary by region and retailer. Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's official website for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Card not recognized by device
Ensure the card is properly inserted. Try formatting the card in a different compatible device or computer. Check if the device supports MicroSDXC cards.
Slow read/write speeds
Verify the device supports UHS-III. Ensure the card reader or device port is clean and functional. Format the card. Check for any background processes consuming resources.
Cannot delete or save files
The card may be full or corrupted. Try formatting the card (this will erase all data). If formatting fails, the card might be damaged.
Error messages during file transfer
Ensure you are using a reliable card reader or USB port. Try a different reader or port. Avoid transferring very large files in a single operation if experiencing instability.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reliable for 4K video recording and photography.
- Good read speeds for quick file access.
- A1 rating improves app performance on compatible devices.
- Durable build with multiple protection features.
- Wide range of capacities available.
Cons
- Write speed of 50 MB/s might be a limitation for extremely high-bitrate continuous recording.
- MicroSDHC format limits capacity to 32GB on older devices (though this card is 256GB, it's technically MicroSDXC).
- Requires a compatible UHS-III slot for maximum performance.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Simply insert the microSD card into the compatible slot on your device (smartphone, camera, tablet, computer adapter). For first-time use with a new device, it is recommended to format the card within the device itself to ensure optimal compatibility and performance.
Compatibility:
This is a MicroSDXC card. Ensure your device supports the MicroSDXC standard and the UHS-III interface for full speed capabilities. Older devices supporting only MicroSDHC may recognize capacities up to 32GB or may not be compatible. Check your device's specifications for confirmed compatibility.
Care:
- Formatting: Format the card regularly, especially after transferring files or if performance degrades. Perform a full format, not a quick format, for best results.
- Handling: Avoid exposing the card to extreme temperatures, static electricity, or strong magnetic fields. Handle with care to prevent physical damage.
- Cleaning: The card is waterproof and resistant to dust. If the contacts appear dirty, gently wipe them with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.
- Data Safety: Always safely eject the card from your device before removing it to prevent data corruption.
