TL;DR: Lexar’s new Professional Silver Go microSD card ($34.99) delivers fast 250 MB/s speeds and rugged 4K protection for your GoPro, Switch, or Steam Deck. Available now on Amazon in sizes up to 512GB.
Running out of space on your handheld console is pure digital chaos. Trying to download a massive new RPG update on your Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch only to realize you have to delete at least three other games first is a pain. Lexar’s new Professional Silver Go microSDXC UHS-I Card solves that exact storage crunch.
Launching today on Amazon from $34.99, it gives gamers a hassle-free way to expand their console library without sacrificing performance.
When paired with Lexar’s RW360 reader, it delivers read speeds up to 250 MB/s — making file transfers up to 240% faster than standard cards. With write speeds up to 180MB/s and a V30 speed rating, it keeps game loads snappy and effortlessly handles stutter-free 4K 60fps video capture if you like recording gameplay or using action cams like GoPros, Insta360s, and DJI drones.
Because handheld consoles go everywhere with you, the Silver Go is built to take a beating. It features an IPX7 waterproof rating and is drop-proof, shockproof, temperature-proof, X-ray-proof, magnetic-proof, and vibration-resistant (phew). If you ever accidentally wipe a file, Lexar includes free file recovery software, and the card itself is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
It also includes a full-size SD adapter so you can easily transfer files to a laptop or PC. The Lexar Professional Silver Go microSDXC card is available today on Amazon in four storage sizes up to 512GB.
