FAQs

What is the difference between UHS-I and UHS-II?

UHS-II (Ultra High Speed II) is a newer standard that offers significantly faster data transfer speeds compared to UHS-I. UHS-II utilizes an extra row of pins on the card connector, enabling theoretical speeds up to 312MB/s, while UHS-I is limited to theoretical speeds of 104MB/s. This card supports UHS-II for maximum performance.

What does V60 mean in Video Speed Class?

V60 is a rating indicating that the card can sustain a minimum write speed of 60 MB/s. This is crucial for recording high-resolution video formats like 4K at higher frame rates without dropped frames or recording interruptions.

Can I use this card in a camera that only supports UHS-I?

Yes, this Lexar Professional 1667x SDXC UHS-II card is backwards compatible. It will work in a UHS-I device, but it will operate at the maximum speeds supported by the UHS-I standard, not its full UHS-II potential.

How do I format the card?

It is recommended to format the card in the device (camera or camcorder) where it will be primarily used. Most devices have a format option in their menu. Alternatively, you can format it using a card reader on a computer, but ensure you back up any important data first, as formatting erases all content.

What is the read speed of this card?

The Lexar Professional 1667x SDXC UHS-II card has a maximum read transfer speed of up to 250 MB/s when used with a UHS-II compatible reader and device.

What is the write speed of this card?

The card offers a write speed of up to 90 MB/s, which is suitable for burst photography and recording high-definition video formats.

Is this card suitable for 4K video recording?

Yes, with its V60 rating and high write speeds, this card is well-suited for recording 4K video and other high-resolution video formats.

Troubleshooting

Card not recognized by camera or computer

Ensure the card is fully inserted into the slot. Try cleaning the card's gold contacts with a dry, lint-free cloth. Test the card in a different compatible device or with a different card reader. Format the card using a UHS-II compatible reader if possible (back up data first).

Slow transfer speeds

Verify that you are using a UHS-II compatible card reader and that your computer's interface (e.g., USB port) supports the reader's speed. Ensure the card is inserted correctly into the UHS-II designated slot on the reader.

Error messages during recording or file transfer

Format the card in the recording device (backup data first). Check for firmware updates for your camera or device. Test with a different card to rule out device issues. If the problem persists, the card may be corrupted or damaged.

Card becomes read-only or unwriteable

Check if the write-protect switch on the SD card adapter (if used) is in the 'lock' position. If not, try formatting the card in a computer. This issue can sometimes indicate card failure.
