CONCLUSION

   UHS-I SD and microSD cards may be nowhere close to the performance levels of their UHS-II cousins but unlike those they are compatible with every device in the market today and that is clearly what gives them the largest market share today. That being said it’s clear from the charts that both the Exceria Plus SDXC 256GB and the Exceria High Endurance MicroSDXC 128GB card models perform roughly the same as their immediate competition (high performance models) so at least in that area they don’t bring anything new to the table. Still on one hand the Exceria Plus model is made in Japan and is covered by a 5-year limited warranty whereas the Exceria High Endurance has the ideal specifications for use in harsh conditions like in dash cameras.

   At the time of this review the Exceria Plus SD 256GB card retails for USD119.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for around 120Euros inside the EU whereas the Exceria High Endurance MicroSDXC 128GB model retails for USD42.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for around 55Euros inside the EU. These prices effectively place the new KIOXIA models a lot higher than many similar performance and capacity cards making this their sole drawback. Still, not many can match the build quality offered by Toshiba/KIOXIA (and in the case of the Exceria Plus the warranty period also) and for that both cards clearly deserve your attention.
