Lexar Professional 1000x UHS-II 64GB microSDXC Memory Card Review

Lexar Professional 1000x UHS-II 64GB microSDXC Memory Card

Introduction

The Lexar Professional 1000x UHS-II 64GB microSDXC card provides up to 150MB/s read speed and up to 45MB/s write speed. The card is U3 rated for recording HD and 4K continuous video. Its 150MB/s read speed allows fast transfers from the memory card to a computer or mobile device and harnesses UHS-II technology to provide the highest speed. In devices that do not support UHS-II, the card is also compatible with Standard SD and UHS-I including SDR104 mode.

Lexar 1000x microSD cards are available in 32, 64, 128 and 256 GB capacities. The 64GB card model LSDMI64GCBNL1000R Rev C with UPC 650590189595 is tested in this review. The card is made in Korea. Lexar Professional series memory cards have a limited lifetime warranty.

Lexar Professional 1000x UHS-II 64GB microSDXC Memory Card Back

The UHS-II bus interface utilizes a second row of contacts on the microSD card. The top row provides connection to legacy devices at reduced speed.

The card includes a USB 3.0 microSD reader that supports UHS-II. The Lexar LRWM05U-7000 card reader review provides more details about the reader including read and write speed tests with various microSD cards.

Performance

The 64GB Lexar 1000x microSDXC card was tested for read and write speed in several memory card readers. The highest sequential read speed reached 151.2 MB/s, which is alightly above than the 150MB/s rating. The highest sequential write benchmark was 54 MB/s and exceeds the 45 MB/s write speed claim by Lexar. When the card is used in UHS-I devices it is limited in speed. The results for UHS-I card readers show the 1000x card operating in UHS-I mode. It achieved 93.7 MB/s sequential read and 53.1 MB/s sequential write speed benchmarks in UHS-I readers.

When the card was benchmarked in UHS-II card readers that did not support UHS-II in the microSD slot, a UHS-II microSD to SD adapter was used. (This type of adapter is included with Lexar Professional 1800x UHS-II microSD cards). When tested in card readers without UHS-II support the card operates in UHS-I mode at reduced speed.
