Kingston Canvas Select Plus 256GB microSDXC

This microSDXC card provides 256GB of storage for Android smartphones, tablets and action cameras. It carries A1, U3, V30 and UHS-I ratings for app loading and full HD video capture. The card is tested waterproof, temperature proof, shock, vibration and X-ray proof for field use.

Fits devices with a microSDXC slot

Insert the card directly into a compatible phone, tablet, drone or camera to expand internal storage. The A1 rating helps apps launch faster from the card. UHS-I bus support delivers up to 100MB/s read and 85MB/s write for continuous recording. No adapter is included so a microSD-to-SD sleeve is needed for full-size slots.

Replaces slower or smaller microSD cards

Upgrade from cards below U3 or V30 when 4K or high-bitrate full HD recording drops frames. The jump is worth it if your current card limits burst shooting or app performance. Buyers needing capacities above 256GB or UHS-II speeds should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the 85 MB/s write speed keep up with continuous 4K video recording?

The card is rated V30 and U3, guaranteeing a minimum 30 MB/s sustained write speed, which meets the requirement for 4K capture.

Does the microSD card run hot or draw noticeable power during all-day recording?

Flash memory cards have no moving parts and consume very little power, so they stay cool and silent during extended use.

What device or adapter do I need to read this card on a laptop?

You need a microSDXC-compatible card reader or a built-in slot that supports the UHS-I interface.
