Lexar's 633x UHS-I offering has been downgraded from U3 to U1 performance. The write speed that was previously advertised at 45MB/s has been cut to 20MB/s. The card can no longer sustain the 30MB/s continuous write speed required for the UHS-I Class 3 (U3) speed rating, so the card now carries the U1 rating, meaning it can sustain at least 10MB/s write performance for continuous recording.
The Lexar 633x U1 128GB card is offered in 16, 32, 64 and 128GB capacities (256 and 512GB cards retain the U3 speed rating). This test covers the 128GB capacity SDXC card (LSD128GCB1NL633). The card is "made in Korea" as noted on the back side.
The 633x U1 128GB SDXC card wast tested in various USB 3.0 card readers using performance benchmark tests. Its sequential read speed reached 96.7 MB/s, nearly as fast as the old card. But the write speed measured 29.6 MB/s in the fastest benchmark, well below the 68.7 MB/s high mark set by the U3-rated card it replaces. While the write speed is above the 20MB/s quoted by Lexar it is quite a downgrade from the previous 633x U3 card.
