CONCLUSION

    Before I continue, I need to point out that for my review I used not 1 but 3 card readers (2 by Lexar and 1 by Kingston) and the CANVAS Go! Plus SDG4 1TB SDXC produced better results with the Kingston card reader (around 10% difference). Since the same has happened in the past with Lexar cards (performed better with Lexar card readers – I always test using several readers and record the best results in my charts) this may have something to do with certain firmware differences (although it does sound a bit strange, I don't think it's a hardware thing). With that out of the way it’s clear that the CANVAS Go! Plus SDG4 1TB is the fastest UHS-I model in my charts and that says a lot (whether or not it’s the fastest out there, I have no way of knowing). The lifetime warranty is also welcome and should provide buyers with peace of mind, at least to a point (if you have important data on it and it stops working getting a free replacement doesn’t mean much).

    Retailing for USD109.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 156.29Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the Kingston CANVAS Go! Plus SDG4 1TB SDXC UHS-I card is priced extremely well, at least on the other side of the Atlantic (EU pricing does need a tweak). Overall, the CANVAS Go! Plus SDG4 1TB card shows that UHS-I SDXC cards are still a thing and even though I was expecting larger capacities by now even 1TB (soon 2TB) should be plenty for most people and that along with performance warrant the Golden Award.
