About Lexar PLAY 1TB microSDXC UHS-I-Card
Overall Feedback:
91% positive
90% appreciated the wide compatibility, though 10% had issues
The card is suitable for tiny bits and pieces of data, such as in gaming and/or simple files like text.
The micro-sd-memory-card works perfectly on my Steam Deck, giving me a capacity of 912.6 gb and a speed almost identical to the internal memory. Formatting it from the Steam Deck settings menu is easy, and all games will install automatically on that storage unless changed in settings.
I bought this product specifically for the Switch as it was marketed as compatible, but upon inserting it, I received a message that the card is not recognized.
The writing speed of my 128GB card is just 20MB/s.
89% found it helpful to secure data, however 11% didn't
During transfer, the card can get hot enough to scald me.
89% liked the read and write speeds, while 11% didn't like
I need read speeds close to 150 MB/s and write speeds close to 90 MB/s.
I got better write speed after switching to 5ghz wifi. Initially, I thought it was the sd card but the write speed is great now.
When playing games from the card, the loading times are excellent. The card's peak 150MB/s read speed is higher than what the Switch can handle over its UHS-1 card interface.
The write speed of the Lexar card is slow, tested at around 30MB/s, while the read speed is around 70MB/s.

76% appreciated the security features, but 24% found them insufficient
So far, my handheld has stayed strong despite its reputation for heating up and killing micro SD cards.
The Switch recognized the microSDXC card without trouble, but the available space was only 116GB.
My micro SD card's read speed is not even close to 100 MB/s even in the most favorable condition.
If the SD card is lost or malfunctions, all our data will be lost as well.
90% praised the storage capacity, while 10% found it limited
The micro sd memory card works perfectly on my Steam Deck, giving me a capacity of 912.6 gb and almost identical speed as the internal memory.
A 128GB Class 10 card is sufficient for basic tasks like increasing storage space on an Android phone or transferring files from one location to another, as long as high-speed photography or 4K video is not involved.
The maximum storage capacity of the micro SD memory card is about 600-700 GB.
The usable capacity of the card is smaller than expected and moving data to the card from the console's internal storage is sluggish.
