INTRODUCTION

   Just like with every other thing in the market memory cards have come a very long way since even 2005. Just imagine that back then i used to get microSD cards no more than 64/128MB in capacity whereas today not only have we hit 1TB (1000MB) but from the looks of it 2TB models should be no more than 1-2 years away. Capacity however is not the only thing that has improved over the years, read & write speeds have also increased exponentially so from around 12MB/s back in 2005 today we have models (UHS-II) that can easily surpass 280MB/s (UHS-III models can surpass even 600MB/s and with the recently announced SD Express standard that number should easily go up at least 2-3 times). Lexar just released the Professional 1066X microSDXC UHS-I SILVER and 2000X SDHC/SDXC UHS-II GOLD, two of their fastest memory card lines to date and as expected with me i have one variant of each line.

   The Professional 1066x UHS-I SILVER series currently includes both SDXC and micro SDXC cards in 64/128/256/512GB capacities with read-write performance levels reaching 160-120MB/s respectively. On the other hand, however the Professional 2000x GOLD series only includes SDXC UHS-II cards in 32/64/128GB capacities with read-write performance levels that can climb all the way up to 300-260MB/s (providing of course you have a UHS-II compatible device). These numbers allow the Professional 1066x SILVER series to be used for both 1080p Full HD and 4K Ultra HD recording whereas the much faster Professional 2000x series is ideal for both 4K and even 8K recording. As for warranty Lexar covers the entire Professional 1066x SILVER series with a 10-year limited one and the entire Professional 2000x GOLD with a lifetime limited one.
