Lexar Professional SILVER PRO 1TB SDXC UHS-II V60

4.3

$499.99as of Jun 7

The Lexar Professional SILVER PRO 1TB is the value pick of the UHS-II group, offering genuine UHS-II speed at an affordable price. It is rated up to 280MB/s read with a V60 class for 4K/60p video, and reviewers came away impressed by its performance for the money. The compromises are a slower rated write than pricier cards and a standard, non-rugged build.

— Rated up to 280MB/s read for fast offloading of large files
— V60 class supports 4K/60p video recording

— Rated 160MB/s write trails the faster V60 and V90 cards here
— V60 rather than V90 limits the highest-bitrate headroom
— Standard plastic build lacks the ARMOR GOLD's extreme ruggedness

How they stack up

Lexar Professional SILVER PRO 1TB SDXC UHS-II V60

The value V60 UHS-II option, undercutting the Lexar Armor Gold and SanDisk Extreme PRO UHS-II on price while sharing the V60 class. It is faster than the UHS-I SanDisk Extreme PRO but does not match the V90 sustained write of the ProGrade Digital Iridium or the ruggedness of the Lexar Armor Gold.

SanDisk Extreme PRO 1TB SDXC UHS-II V60

A V60 UHS-II card like the Lexar Armor Gold and Lexar Professional Silver Pro, trailing the V90 ProGrade Digital Iridium on guaranteed sustained write. Much faster than the UHS-I SanDisk Extreme PRO in the same family, but less physically rugged than the stainless-steel Lexar Armor Gold.
