FAQs

What does UHS-1 U3 and V30 mean?

UHS-1 (Ultra High Speed-1) is an interface standard. U3 denotes a minimum sequential write speed of 30MB/s, suitable for 4K video. V30 (Video Speed Class 30) also guarantees a minimum write speed of 30MB/s, specifically for video recording performance.

Can I use this card in older SDHC devices?

No, SDXC cards are not backward compatible with SDHC or SD-only slots. The device must explicitly support the SDXC format.

How do I protect my data?

Always use the 'Safely Remove Hardware' or 'Eject' option before removing the card from a computer. Regularly back up your important files to another storage medium.

What is the maximum read speed I can expect?

The card is rated for up to 100MB/s read speed. However, the actual speed achieved depends on the host device's capabilities (card reader and internal system).

Does the card have a write protection switch?

No, this specific model does not feature a physical write protection switch. Data protection should be managed through software or device settings.

How do I clean the card's contacts?

Gently wipe the gold-colored contacts with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials, as this can damage the contacts.

Troubleshooting

Card is not recognized by the device

Ensure the card is fully inserted. Try formatting the card (this will erase all data) in a compatible device. Check if the device supports SDXC cards. Clean the card's metal contacts gently with a dry, lint-free cloth.

Cannot save files or data corruption occurs

Format the card using the device it's being used with. Ensure the device's firmware is up-to-date. Avoid removing the card while files are being written. Test the card's performance using a benchmarking tool if possible.

Slow read/write speeds

Verify that the device's SD card reader supports UHS-I U3 speeds. Ensure the card reader is clean and functioning correctly. Close other applications that might be using system resources during file transfer.

Error messages during formatting

Try formatting the card on a different compatible device or computer. If the issue persists, the card may be faulty.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This SDXC card is plug-and-play. Simply insert it into the SDXC card slot of a compatible device. For first-time use in a camera or camcorder, it's recommended to format the card within the device itself to ensure optimal compatibility and performance. This can usually be found in the device's settings menu.

Compatibility:

This card is compatible with all SDXC-supporting devices. This includes most modern digital cameras, camcorders, drones, smartphones, tablets, and laptops with an SDXC card reader. Devices that only support older SD or SDHC standards may not be able to read or write to this card.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the card to extreme temperatures, moisture, or static electricity.
  • Do not bend, drop, or apply excessive force to the card.
  • When not in use, store the card in its protective case to prevent scratches on the contacts.
  • Regularly back up your data from the card to another storage medium.
  • To safely remove the card, use the 'Safely Remove Hardware' or 'Eject' function on your operating system if connecting via a card reader.
