Two microSD Cards Optimized for Portable Gaming
Lexar has introduced two new microSD cards: the Express PLAY PRO and an updated version of the UHS-I PLAY. These cards are designed to meet the increasing demands of mobile gaming, especially with the upcoming release of the Nintendo Switch 2. The Express PLAY PRO stands out with read speeds up to 900 MB/s and write speeds up to 600 MB/s, which is four times faster than traditional UHS-I cards, according to Lexar’s internal tests. This performance is made possible by the PCIe and NVMe interfaces.
Enhanced Capacity and Compatibility
Both cards offer substantial storage space, with versions available up to 1 TB. The Express PLAY PRO is backward compatible with UHS-I and UHS-II devices, operating at UHS-I speeds on these systems. Lexar highlights compatibility with upcoming microSD Express devices, allowing users to maintain a large game library while benefiting from fast file transfers.
Increased Durability and Included Warranties
The Express PLAY PRO card is designed to withstand extreme conditions. It is certified IPX7 (waterproof), resistant to temperature, shock, X-rays, magnetic fields, vibration, and wear. These features are the result of rigorous testing in Lexar’s quality labs. Additionally, a limited lifetime warranty (or 10 years in some regions) is offered, along with lifelong access to a file recovery tool, which is useful in case of accidental deletion or formatting.
Improved Performance for the UHS-I PLAY Card
The updated version of the microSD UHS-I PLAY card has seen its read speeds increase from 160 MB/s to 205 MB/s and write speeds from 100 MB/s to 140 MB/s. All capacities of this card are now rated A2, improved from A1, enhancing performance when running applications. This is a timely reminder that the Switch 2 comes equipped with 256 GB of storage, which might still be somewhat insufficient, considering that games are likely to become increasingly large in the future.
