💾 128GB Lexar Professional 1000x SDXC UHS-II Card Review

I bought two of these cards for my em10.2, em5.2 and Pen F. Both are slow: writing RAW + LN jpg takes 6 to 15 seconds. I reformatted these cards and they are still pretty slow. One of the cards fell out while I was on vacation in Germany; I easily recovered all 4000 photos using recovery software. I make backups everyday using my phone's wireless connection, so I find it unreliable storage. Since then, one or maybe both cards have failed half a dozen times. With other people reporting good…

I've taken tens of thousands of shots and I've always used SanDisk SD cards. I saw this card while looking for more speed and storage and thought it was worth a try - I mean it says "Professional" and it comes with decent image recovery - how could you be wrong?! I was without a card for a month and took some photos during my daughter's softball trips - moments that can't be replaced. I literally just looked at the photos on my Nikon D610 camera, put the card in the card reader and got a…

If I could put negative stars I would. After spending more time studying SD cards than I'd like to admit, I settled on this one, ignoring the negative reviews about the card's propensity to fail. Travel photography is my hobby and I shoot in RAW quite a bit, so I needed a fast, large memory card that could handle it. The card worked flawlessly the first time I drove it. Then, during my second trip, the card gave error messages and refused to write pictures. I've backed up everything I've done…

At NAB 2019, Lexar offered their new 128GB V60 SD card at an unbeatable price: $40. (They said it was a sale.) The card was sold at that price by multiple sellers, so I bought mine from Revain - and right now it's literally half the price of any other V60 SD card. Like I said, a killer price. To meet the very high performance of the V60 specification, the SD card requires the second row of pins required for compliance with the UHS-II standard. None of the pictures I could find of this Lexar…

I had high hopes for this card given its rated speed but so far I'm disappointed. While this is a fast card, it falls well short of the promised speeds. The quoted read speed is 150MB/s and the quoted write speed is 80MB/s. My tests have shown that the average read speed is almost half the advertised speed, which is around 88 MB/s. The typing speed was even more of a concern as it was very erratic. I made many attempts to get a stable writing speed, but unfortunately it didn't happen. Write…

I have a Panasonic DMC-LX100 that can record 4K 30p video at 100Mbps and sometimes the recording stopped with an error saying, that the recording speed cards are not supported high. This was done with an Elite Performance SDXC 64GB UHS-1 90MB/s card for PNY 28, so I have a 128GB 150MB/s UHS-3 Lexar SDXC card and it works great for 4K 30p. UHS-1 guarantees a minimum write speed of 10MB/s, while UHS-3 has a minimum write speed of 30MB/s, which is probably where the UHS-1 card falls short of 4K. I
