microSD Express Cards

PNY microSD Express Card 512GB

Why choose it

Choose this 512GB PNY card for a compatible Express host when you want substantial storage and a limited lifetime warranty; its 810MB/s write rating offers transfer headroom for copying large files onto the card.1

Before you buy

The 890MB/s read and 810MB/s write figures require a capable Express host and depend on its configuration; an older microSD device uses its supported fallback mode.1
