Review on πŸ’½ Lexar Professional 256GB MicroSDXC UHS-I Card with SD Adapter SILVER Series - High-Speed Read up to 160MB/s, for Action Cameras, Drones, High-End Smartphones, Tablets (LMS1066256G-BNANU) by Corey Greene

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent 64GB card, fast write speed, made in Taiwan (not PRC) but lower capacity (128GB is slow)

This Lexar Professional 1066 x 64GB microSD card is a great card. It's fast, write speeds are very close to the advertised 70MB/s. This card is made in Taiwan, not China, which is great for me as I love to support democracy. Capacity is the only issue I've found with this card. I have a previous 64GB Samsung Pro card formatted to 59.5GB with Fat32 (shown in Windows 10). This card is formatted with Fat32 to 58.9 GB. With the Lexar card, that's over 600 MB less. I still recommend this card though, be wary of a slight reduction in space compared to other brands which is why I'm giving it four stars. I also bought a Lexar 128GB MicroSD card (I can only write one review, hence my 128GB review here). ): The 128GB card has a fast write speed, but it clocks in at just over 70MB/s while the box says 120MB/s. It could be my USB3 card reader or my USB chipset, but I've read benchmarks faster than 125MB/s with multiple full-size SD cards. However, the 128GB card is smaller than my Sandisk 128GB Micro card: 117GB vs. Sandisk's 118GB (both formatted in Fat32). So this 128GB Lexar MicroSD card is slow, but still fast enough for 4K recording, which is what I use it for. I'll leave four stars as I know it's far from perfect but good enough. I also like that the card says "Made in Taiwan" which is a big plus compared to my other non-democratic microSD cards.
