Lexar announces tough new Armor Gold SDXC Card

Durability

Built with a stainless steel core, the Lexar tells us the Armor Gold card is 37 times stronger than standard SD cards. It carries an IP68 rating, making it resistant to dust, water and drops from up to five metres. Additionally, it can withstand 370 Newtons of pressure, offering protection against bending and impact.

A ribless, switch-free design removes fragile components like the write-protection switch, reducing potential failure points. Instead of traditional labels, the card features laser-engraved markings, helping ensure long-term readability.

Performance

The Armor Gold SDXC UHS-II card supports read speeds of up to 280MB/s and write speeds of 205MB/s, allowing for smooth 6K and 4K video recording.

Its V60 video speed rating makes it suitable for high-resolution photography and fast-action shooting.

Available in capacities from 64GB to 1TB, the card is built to function in temperatures ranging from -25°C to 85°C. For efficient data transfers, it is optimised for use with a USB 3.2 reader.

Recovery and warranty

With the Armor Gold SDXC UHS-II card, Lexar includes lifetime access to its Recovery Tool, which can assist in retrieving deleted or formatted files.

The card also comes with a limited lifetime warranty, with 10-year coverage in regions where lifetime warranties are not applicable.
