Product Information
Full details
The Lexar High-Performance 800x 256GB SDXC UHS-I Card is designed for users of point-and-shoot cameras, mid-range DSLRs, and HD camcorders who need reliable storage for photos and high-definition video. Its key benefit is enabling quick capture and transfer of high-quality content, including 1080p Full-HD and 4K UHD video, with read speeds up to 120MB/s. A potential caveat is that its write speed of 45MB/s may not be ideal for extremely demanding professional video workflows requiring sustained high write performance.

FAQs
What does UHS-I mean for this card?
UHS-I (Ultra High Speed-I) is a bus interface that allows for faster data transfer speeds compared to standard SD cards. This card leverages UHS-I technology to achieve its advertised read speeds.
Is this card suitable for 4K video recording?
Yes, with a V30 rating, this card is suitable for recording 4K UHD video. It guarantees a minimum write speed of 30MB/s, which is generally sufficient for most 4K recording scenarios.
How does the write speed (45MB/s) affect performance?
The 45MB/s write speed is adequate for most continuous video recording and standard photo capture. However, for very high-speed burst photography (many RAW files per second) or extremely high-bitrate video formats, you might notice limitations compared to cards with significantly higher write speeds.
What does 'Class 10', 'U3', and 'V30' mean?
Class 10 indicates a minimum sequential write speed of 10MB/s. U3 (UHS Speed Class 3) guarantees a minimum write speed of 30MB/s, essential 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 my older camera that only supports SDHC?
This is an SDXC card. While it is backward compatible and will work in most SDHC or SD card slots, it will operate at the slower speed supported by the older slot, not its maximum UHS-I speed.
What kind of protection features does the card have?
The card is built to be resistant to shock, temperature extremes (operating 0-70°C, storage -25-85°C), vibration, water, and X-rays, making it more durable for use in various conditions.
How do I perform a backup before formatting?
Connect the card to your computer using a card reader. Open the card's drive in your file explorer and copy all files and folders to a safe location on your computer or an external drive.
Troubleshooting
Card not recognized by device
Ensure the card is fully inserted. Try cleaning the contacts. Format the card in the device if possible (backup data first). Test the card in another compatible device.
Data corruption or read/write errors
Immediately stop using the card. Backup any accessible data. Format the card in the device. If problems persist, the card may be failing and should be replaced.
Slow transfer speeds
Ensure you are using a compatible card reader that supports UHS-I speeds. Check that your computer's USB port also supports the required speed. Verify the card is inserted correctly into the reader.
Cannot format the card
Try formatting the card on a computer using a reliable SD card utility or a disk management tool. Ensure you have sufficient permissions. If formatting continues to fail, the card might be damaged.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High read speeds accelerate file transfers and workflow.
- Durable construction offers protection against environmental factors.
- Sufficient capacity for extensive photo and video capture.
- UHS-I and V30 support suitable for HD and 4K video recording.
- Reliable for everyday photography and videography needs.
Cons
- Write speed of 45MB/s may be a limitation for sustained high-bitrate 4K video or burst photography.
- Not rated for the highest-tier professional video formats that demand much higher sustained write speeds.
- May not offer the absolute fastest performance compared to UHS-II or UHS-III cards for extremely demanding tasks.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your camera or camcorder is powered off.
- Insert the SDXC card into the designated SD card slot. It will only fit one way.
- Power on your device. The card should be recognized automatically.
- If prompted by your device, format the card to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with your specific camera model. *Note: Formatting will erase all data on the card.*.
Compatibility:
- This card is compatible with any device that supports SDXC, UHS-I, Class 10, U3, and V30 standards. This includes most modern point-and-shoot cameras, mid-range DSLRs, and HD camcorders.
- While it supports UHS-I, it will also work in older SD slots but at reduced speeds.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the metal contacts with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth if necessary. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials.
- Handling: Always eject the card properly from your device before removing it to prevent data corruption.
- Storage: Store the card in a cool, dry place when not in use, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures (within its specified storage temperature range of -25°C to 85°C).
- Physical Protection: While the card is built to be shock, water, and temperature proof, avoid unnecessary abuse. Keep it away from strong magnets.
