Product Identity

The DATO Lightning is a 256GB microSDXC card built on the UHS-II interface. It carries U3, V60 and A1 speed ratings with quoted sequential reads up to 280MB/s and writes up to 180MB/s.

Who It Suits

Photographers and videographers recording 4K footage benefit from the V60 sustained write guarantee. Mobile gamers and smartphone users gain faster app loading through the A1 rating. The card works in UHS-I devices at reduced speeds.

Deciding Specification

The V60 video speed class is the single figure that determines suitability; it certifies a minimum sustained write of 60MB/s for stable 4K recording on compatible cameras.

Questions about this item

How fast will 4K video actually write to this card inside my camera?

The V60 rating guarantees a minimum sustained write speed of 60MB/s, so 4K footage records without dropped frames on any camera that supports the class.

What speed do I get if my device only has a UHS-I slot?

The card works in UHS-I devices but will run at the slower UHS-I bus speed; the UHS-II read and write peaks of 280MB/s and 180MB/s require a UHS-II host.

Will this card fit my Nintendo Switch or action camera without an adapter?

Yes, it is a microSDXC card measuring 0.43" wide by 0.59" long by 0.04" thick, the standard microSD form factor used by Switch, GoPro, drones and phones.
