    Great price compared to the 128gb Samsung U3 cards that are cheap at JB Hi-Fi at the moment, I wonder if the performance is comparable?

      Isn't this the same class as the Samsung / JB deal?

      That post suggest the Samsung write speed is 60MB/s?

        The U3 speed class only requires a write speed of 30MB/s, which is the highest UHS speed class.
        There are classes that require higher speeds - such as the Video Speed Classes V60 and V90, which require 60MB/s and 90MB/s respectively.

        In the case of the Samsung, it would be a peak write speed of 60MB/s, and they either chose not to get it certified for V60, or it wouldn't pass V60, or it is an old enough product that V60 wasn't common at the time.

        The Samsung is probably the faster card in most cases.

        That being said, the lexar also has an A1 speed class, which refers to application performance, which is more complicated than outright maximum read and write speeds, so may be more suitable for a phone or nintendo switch to run applications from, or to act as storage for running applications.

        If you want more info, check out SDCard.org.
        It was really helpful when I was looking to pick the best cards for my switch and go pro.

          Which one would you recommend for a Mavic mini? :)

          • silenthillrocks on 02/04/2021 - 16:13

            @Shane34: I'd recommend Samsung Evo but make sure its above 128gb. 64gb and lower have only 20MB/s write speed.

            • Shane34 on 02/04/2021 - 16:13

              @silenthillrocks: Great, thanks for that :)

              • Wilburre on 02/04/2021 - 16:44

                @Shane34: yep I agree with silenthillrocks - for a camera of any description, including those on drones - speed is king, so if picking between the 2, go the samsung.

          • Orrelljet on 03/04/2021 - 14:41

            @Shane34: This one should work fine as the Mavic Pro comes with a 16GB version of this exact card.

  • TheDukeOfNukem on 02/04/2021 - 10:18

    Oh well, still have a 128gb waiting for me at JB from a few days ago to pick up, bummer.

    Good lord, that's the cheapest price I think we've seen for a branded U3 card of that capacity.

  • bozbargain on 02/04/2021 - 10:29

    Is this one good for a Switch? Not sure if I even need one, but just to future proof?

      Yes but unless you buy digital games (or games that require a big download), you probably don’t need a MicroSD

    Lexar is absolute junk since the brand name was sold to a no-name Chinese company back in 2017. No better than any other no-name brand. If you value your data, stick with samsung and sandisk.

    • MadMaxBargainRoad on 02/04/2021 - 10:46

      Is this just an emotional claim or is it backed up by statistics? Most photographer's sites are still ranking Lexar cards in the same league as SanDisk and Samsung.

      Also Lexar has official sales and support channels in Australia. This is definitely NOT the same as buying no name SD cards.

      Disclaimer - I'm not recommending them over other major brands but there is no evidence that they are suddenly bad once ownership changed in 2017.

        I used Lexar cards solely in my gopro's used regularly for motorsport. Over time they would start recording and then stop randomly after a few minutes. Switched all the cards from Lexar to Sandisk Extreme's and havent had a problem since. I'm surprised these cards are still around, but I wouldnt touch them again.

      • eggboi on 02/04/2021 - 13:45

        Not sure what you mean by “emotional” claim. Also not sure why so many negs on my comment and upvotes on yours, just trying to warn people.

        I’m a professional photographer and videographer and have had lexar cards fail on me, the same has happened to colleagues. But don’t take my word for it, here’s a story from one of the photography sites you speak of: https://petapixel.com/2018/10/02/lessons-from-losing-a-week-…

        That article also goes into stats on bad reviews for various memory card companies - the various Lexar cards have 2-5 times the number of negative reviews as their Sandisk and Sony counterparts.

    this exact card in 64gb has broken down on me like 2 yrs ago and Lexar had refused to fix/replace it under lifetime warranty stating some pathetic excuse that the company has a new ownerhip or so. I do not care about who owns it at all. I only care about fulfulling your obligations…
    As a rusult I will never ever buy anything lexar in my life again and will discourage everyone from doing so, no matter how cheap or a good deal it is :(

        No, but we believe what the manufacturer has promised on warranty.
        By the way, Lexar did change ownership, and the card quality is worse now.

    Multiple lexar cards were all junk. They work once with factory format but play up severely after you reformat them down the track. Returned mine for refunds after linux mac and pc all failed to format in any way that worked, and yes I do know what im doing lol.

    Got two. One for $19 and one for $15 (in previous ozbargain deal). Good cards but for those using prebuilt images for retro etc, just know that this is 126GB as reported by balena etcher.

  • hamwhisperer on 05/04/2021 - 09:50

    I'd like a faster card in my Raspberry Pi4, anyone know if this would cut it? Is there even faster? I'm happy to pay around $20 - I only need 32GB

    • MadMaxBargainRoad on 07/04/2021 - 10:02

      For Pi I believe the best performer is Samsung Evo Plus U3. In this use case, random read/write speed is a lot more relevant.
