The article highlights the most important technical details and possible applications.
- Up to 2 TB storage for large amounts of data and extensive media libraries

Lexar SILVER PLUS 2TB microSDXC impresses with high performance
The introduction of the Lexar SILVER PLUS 2TB microSDXC UHS-I card clearly demonstrates how the flash memory market is evolving. While classic UHS-I cards have long been considered mid-range, Lexar is raising the bar considerably with this new generation. The card achieves read speeds of up to 255 MB/s and write speeds of up to 180 MB/s, making it one of the fastest solutions in its class.
This performance is particularly noticeable in data-intensive applications. 4K video recordings with up to 60 FPS can be realized without stuttering, while continuous image recordings are saved stably and without frame drops thanks to V30 classification. At the same time, gaming applications also benefit from the fast loading times, for example for large titles on mobile platforms.
Another advantage is the significantly increased efficiency compared to standard UHS-I cards. According to the manufacturer, the new card achieves up to 245 percent higher performance, which is particularly noticeable when transferring large files. In combination with compatible card readers such as the RW360, data can be backed up or moved significantly faster.
Versatile application options and robust design for everyday use
In addition to its pure performance, the Lexar SILVER PLUS 2TB microSDXC scores points above all for its versatility. It was specially developed for use in modern devices that rely on fast and reliable storage. These include drones, action cameras, smartphones and handheld consoles.
Of particular interest is the official recommendation for DJI drones or the Osmo Pocket 4 (our test), which indicates optimized coordination with current models. Devices from manufacturers such as Insta360, GoPro or portable gaming systems such as Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck also benefit from the high capacity. Large game libraries or extensive video archives can be easily stored without having to constantly swap out data.
Another important aspect is the card’s durability. The IPX7 certification protects against water, while additional features such as shock resistance, temperature resistance, magnetic resistance and X-ray security enable use under demanding conditions. This makes the card suitable not only for everyday use, but also for outdoor productions and travel.
The overall package is rounded off by practical additional features such as the Lexar Recovery Tool for data recovery and a limited lifetime warranty. In addition to the new 2 TB version, the series will continue to be available in smaller capacities from 64 GB to 1 TB, allowing different requirements to be covered flexibly.
Conclusion
With the SILVER PLUS 2TB microSDXC, Lexar delivers a powerful and versatile storage solution that is particularly impressive for 4K video, gaming and mobile workflows. The combination of high speed, large capacity and robust construction makes it an attractive option in the premium segment. The series is available from just €21.99 (smaller variants), while prices for the 2 TB model are likely to vary depending on the retailer.
