Lexar's SILVER GO microSDXC UHS-I cards are now available through Asahi Toko Electronics, priced from 5,180 yen for 64GB up to 33,380 yen for 1TB. The 1TB, 512GB, and 256GB cards reach up to 250MB/s read and up to 180MB/s write, while the 128GB and 64GB models write at up to 135MB/s. The lineup is sold through Rakuten Market and Yahoo! Shopping.
The capacity spread is the widest part of the line, spanning 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB, with the fastest write speed reserved for the three largest cards. All five carry Video Speed Class V30, the rating for sustained 30MB/s writes that 4K recording depends on, plus Application Performance Class 2 for random reads when apps and games run off the card.
Lexar also lists waterproof, shockproof, vibration-resistant, X-ray-resistant, and magnetic-resistant construction, aimed at action cameras, drones, GoPro, Insta360, and the DJI Osmo Pocket series as well as phones, tablets, and portable game consoles. The card is sold online only.
