Lexar ARMOR SILVER PRO SDXC UHS-II review

Lexar ARMOR SILVER PRO SDXC UHS-II is built for people who drop, soak or crush their gear. Lexar describes it as the first memory card to use stainless steel, with a pressure resistance up to 370 Newtons, 37 times higher than standard cards by Lexar's count. It is rated IP68 for dust and water and certified for drops up to five meters, and it has no ribs or write-protect switch that could snap off. Performance is solid for UHS-II: up to 280MB/s read, 160MB/s write on 256GB to 1TB and 120MB/s write on 128GB, with a V60 rating that Lexar says covers 4K 60P and 6K 30P video. Lexar includes lifetime access to its Recovery Tool and a limited lifetime warranty. The trade-off is price: Lexar lists an MSRP of $119.99 for 128GB, and the page points to resellers rather than a cart. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test the cards ourselves.
