Lexar SD card

Match capacity to your workflow and speed needs. If you shoot lots of high‑res photos or 4K video, opt for larger capacities to store more files without swapping often. Across this line you’ll find 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB options, all built to handle rugged use with vibration resistance up to 2000 Hz, magnetic protection up to 15,000 Gauss, operation from 0°C to 70°C, and storage from 25°C to 85°C, plus IPX7 waterproofing at 1 meter for 30 minutes. For frequent shooters, the Pro Silver Plus family is tested for Canon, Nikon, and Sony compatibility and comes with a long 10-year warranty, ideal for long-term use.

Speed class indicates sustained read/write performance, which matters for video and burst shooting. UHS-I cards deliver solid performance for most stills and 1080p–4K projects, while UHS-II lines push higher rates—up to 280MB/s read and 160MB/s write in high-end lines. Some cards are V60-rated, guaranteeing at least 60MB/s sustained write, which is ideal for uninterrupted 4K/60p recording. Choose UHS-II or V60 if your camera supports it and you frequently work with long, high‑bit‑rate video or fast transfers.

For a hobbyist or casual shooter, mid-capacity cards with reliable performance are ideal, such as 32GB–128GB options that cover everyday stills and light video. For pro videography and frequent 4K/60p work, pick high‑capacity options (256GB–512GB) with top speeds like V60-rated lines, offering up to 280MB/s read and 160MB/s write for smooth recording and quick transfers.

Keep cards dry and away from strong magnets; avoid bending or dropping, and use them with devices that support their speed class. The 128GB Silver Plus line, for instance, is extensively tested for compatibility with Canon, Nikon, Sony, and more, which helps ensure reliable performance across common cameras. Regularly eject with care, store in a protective case, and keep them out of extreme heat or direct sun when not in use.

For travel or daily shooting, smaller capacities like 32GB–64GB keep things simple and light. For longer sessions or higher-bitrate video, 128GB provides a comfortable buffer, while 256GB–512GB cards are best for extended events, heavy 4K/60p work, or large libraries that you don’t want to swap mid-session.

Most memory cards shown carry a long-term warranty, commonly 10 years, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. A few high-performance lines carry shorter terms, such as one year. Always check the warranty label on your chosen card to confirm the exact duration and coverage.
