Samsung P9 512GB vs Lexar Play Pro 1TB

Our pick

Lexar Play Pro 1TB

microSD Express Cards

Choose the Lexar PLAY PRO 1TB for a large handheld library when your device supports both microSD Express and 1TB cards. Older compatible hosts fall back to UHS-I speeds; Lexar’s advertised 900 MB/s read rating requires an Express host and comes from internal testing.¹²

A 512GB capacity gives a compatible device room for a substantial game library without spreading the installed collection across several cards.³
