256GB microSDXC UHS-I card

This 256GB Gigastone microSDXC card carries UHS-I, Class 10, U3, V30 and A1 ratings. It delivers sequential read speeds up to 100MB/s and write speeds up to 60MB/s. The card is built to withstand water, shock, temperature extremes and X-ray exposure. A full-size SD adapter and a mini storage case are included.

For action cameras, drones and app-heavy phones

The A1 rating means the card can run apps directly on smartphones and tablets. V30 guarantees sustained 30MB/s write performance for 4K video recording. Buyers who need guaranteed minimum write speeds above 30MB/s for higher-bitrate workflows should consider cards with a higher video speed class rating.

V30 sustained write class for 4K capture

The single specification that decides suitability is the V30 video speed class, which certifies a minimum sequential write speed of 30MB/s. This meets the baseline requirement for most consumer 4K recording. If your device demands a higher guaranteed write tier, this card will not satisfy that requirement.

Questions about this item

Does the 256GB microSDXC card need an adapter to work in a full-size SD slot?

The package includes a microSD-to-SD adapter so the card fits standard SD slots on laptops, cameras or card readers.

Will the UHS-I U3 V30 card record 4K video reliably in an older action camera that only supports UHS-I?

Yes, the U3 and V30 ratings guarantee a minimum 30 MB/s sustained write speed, meeting 4K recording requirements on any UHS-I host.

How can I confirm the card delivers the advertised 100 MB/s read speed after formatting?

Run a sequential read benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark or Blackmagic Disk Speed Test on a USB 3.0 or UHS-I reader; expect results near 100 MB/s.
