<\/a><\/p>\nI recently had the chance to put the 1800x card through its paces and it never skipped a beat.\u00a0 Fast moving scenes in a bouncing GoPro were no challenge.\u00a0 Never dropping a frame, it recorded it all.<\/p>\n
Not only is it valuable for capturing your vision during filming, it\u2019s also wonderful when you get back to the studio and want to transfer the footage to your computer for editing.<\/p>\n
I was using the 64GB microSDXC UHS-II and it boasts up to 270MB\/s read and 250MB\/s write speeds. In my DSLR, it more than kept up with any shooting I could do, helping to clean out the buffer as quickly as possible, even when shooting very high-res RAW files.<\/p>\n
The 1800x comes with a microSD UHS-II USB reader as well as an SD-sized card for transfer to just about any device. You\u2019ll need to use the UHS-II reader to achieve those blistering transfer speeds, but older readers will work as well at a lower transfer rate.<\/p>\n
Your investment is also protected with a limited lifetime warranty on the card. \u00a0See the Lexar line of microSD cards here<\/span>.<\/p>\n If you are a pro or prosumer shooting with equipment that will handle the newest format, XQD, Lexar will up your game even further with their new 2933x speed cards.<\/p>\n Backwardly compatible with USB 2.0, these new cards with a transfer rate up to 433MB\/s are available from Lexar here<\/span>.\u00a0 Choose from 32GB, 64GB or 128GB capacities.<\/p>\n You\u2019ve shot that epic footage, but your laptop Is running out of storage.\u00a0 Or, you\u2019re out in the field, conditions are perfect, but you\u2019re running out of cards and you want to keep shooting. What\u2019s a photog to do?<\/p>\n That\u2019s where the Lexar Portable SSD (Solid State Drive) comes in so handy.\u00a0 Smaller than a pack of cigarettes, this sleek little external drive will let you unload your card contents at almost the same 245MB\/s write speed and then read them back at almost twice that speed \u2013 450MB\/s.<\/p>\n If the \u201ccloud\u201d is nowhere to be found, it\u2019s great to know you can stream your movies, music or other data at a barn-burning pace whenever you want to.<\/p>\n LED\u2019s across the front of the unit are a convenient way to determine how much space you have left on the drive.<\/p>\n While not everyone will want to custom format their hard drive, it\u2019s good to know that this drive can be formatted in either NTFS, FAT32, or exFAT.\u00a0 If you regularly have files over 4GB in size, you\u2019ll appreciate the flexibility.<\/p>\n Lexar\u2019s portable SSD are available presently in 512GB and 256GB.\u00a0 Check out Lexar\u2019s portable SSD\u2019s here<\/span>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Disclosure: \u00a0Lexar provided samples of the 64GB microSD card and 256GB SSD for us to test for this review.<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you are experimenting with the new, uber-popular 4K video, you need to make sure your memory cards are up for the challenge.
