256GB MicroSD card for mobile and camera use

This Kingston SDCS2 card provides 256GB of storage in a microSD form factor. It is suited for smartphones, tablets, digital cameras and dashcams. The card carries an A1 rating for application performance. Buyers who need larger capacities or different form factors should look elsewhere.

Sustained write performance for video recording

The card meets Video Speed Class V30, guaranteeing a minimum sequential write speed of 30MB/s during continuous capture. UHS-I technology supports full HD video recording without frame drops. Read speeds reach up to 100MB/s for faster file offloading. It is not designed for professional cinema workflows requiring higher sustained throughput.

Durable build for everyday environments

The card is tested for waterproof, temperature resistant and shockproof operation. No moving parts mean silent performance and low power draw during normal use. Class 10 rating ensures baseline compatibility with a wide range of host devices. Users requiring extreme industrial-grade endurance specifications should verify separate qualifications.

Questions about this item

Does the SDCS2 MicroSD card run hot or draw noticeable power during continuous full HD recording?

The card uses UHS-I Class 10 with V30 rating, so it sustains 30 MB/s write speeds for full HD video without generating excess heat or drawing high power.

What host device slot and speed class are required to use the 256 GB SDCS2 at its rated performance?

A microSDXC slot supporting UHS-I and at least Class 10 / U3 / V30 is needed; the card is A1 rated for Android app performance.

Will the SDCS2 work reliably in an older dashcam or camera that only supports Class 10 or UHS-I speeds?

Yes, the card is backward compatible with Class 10 and UHS-I hosts and will operate at the maximum speed the older device allows.
