microSD Express Cards

Lexar Play Pro 1TB

Why choose it

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
