Lexar Memory Card Review

When I was a kid, it wasn’t unusual for me to spend my allowance money on cassette tapes or floppy disks—physical media was everywhere. Now, I plug my digital camera right into my computer—and sometimes forget that there’s a storage device inside.
But, anyone who’s ever had their vacation photos suddenly disappear, or waited hours for them to transfer, knows that what’s inside counts. That’s why we’re fans of these high speed, high quality memory cards from Lexar—their Platinum line, they’re covered by a lifetime guarantee, and operate at up to 15 MB/s when transferring data to your PC.

The high speed of these Lexar Platinum cards means that they’re ‘class 10’ rated, well suited for demanding devices like high-res DSLRS and camcorders. In fact, they’re even faster than the minimum guidelines state for class ten cards. Transferring dozens of photos from a recent road trip, we were blown away to be done in half the usual time. Ditto for copying movies to SD from our computer to watch on our PS3—these cards are seriously fast.

But, it’s not just speed that counts.
Where we feel these stand out is in their durability. Having had more than one term-paper go up in smoke over the years, we know the importance of backing things up. And sure there’s the cloud—but alas, their isn’t internet everywhere.
So we regularly archive things on SD, and though the really inexpensive generic brands have tempted us in the past, we’ve also been burnt by their failure. Knock on wood, even our earliest Lexar cards are still kicking.
It’s the combination of speed and reliability that we think make these cards the perfect gift for a grad—if they’re starting college next year, they’ll be glad to have the extra storage—if they’re entering the working world from college, they’ll be even gladder to have a backup for their professional work.
We received the above mentioned SD card from Lexar in exchange for our honest opinion and review. We were not compensated in any other way.
