Our pick

Kingston Canvas Go! Plus microSD 1TB

Choose the Kingston Canvas Go! Plus 1TB for a large file library on a device that supports 1TB microSDXC cards.12

Why this one

  • The 1TB card offers nearly twice the labelled capacity of the 512GB SanDisk Extreme PRO, leaving more room for a large library. Check your device’s supported capacity before buying.13
  • Kingston rates reads at 200 MB/s and writes at 160 MB/s using its MobileLite Plus Reader. Compare long-transfer tests if copying large files is your main use.2

Other contenders

  • Kingston Canvas Go! Plus microSD 256GB

    Choose the Kingston Canvas Go! Plus 256GB when 256GB covers your files. It has the same advertised 200 MB/s read and 160 MB/s write ceilings as the 1TB version.28

  • Kingston Industrial microSD + SD-adapter 64 GB

    Choose the Kingston Industrial 64GB when your equipment needs a card rated for −40°C to 85°C and 64GB covers its files.4 For OEM equipment or other special-use applications, contact Kingston before choosing the Industrial card. Its operating-temperature rating does not establish approval for your equipment.4

Buying advice

  • For a camera, follow its supported-card list and recording-mode speed requirements. For apps, check host support for the application class; for file storage, start with the capacity and interface your device accepts.123
