PNY 1TB PRO Elite Class 10 U3 V30 microSDXC Flash Memory Card - 100MB/s, Class 10, U3, V30, A2, 4K UHD, Full HD, UHS-I, Micro SD

I used this PNY PRO Elite 512GB microSDXC card with my GoPro, drone, and Osmo Pocket 3 during my travels, and it performed perfectly. Whether it was capturing 4K footage in the wild or recording smooth shots on the go, the writing and reading speeds never let me down.Plenty of storage, super reliable, and exactly what you need when you don’t get a second chance to capture a moment. Highly recommend for any traveler, creator, or adventure enthusiast

Received today and put it in my security camera right away! I don’t have to pay for the data. The card is great for keeping those pesky package stealers.

I bought this to replace an aging 400GB card in a Switch with a lot of games installed. The old card was beginning to slow to less than 1MB/s writes (not sure why, maybe the controller chip was struggling with a lot of bad blocks) and games would actually physically freeze up whenever writing anything (even short little autosaves were terrible!) I spent a day transferring all the data over to this and so far it's blazing fast -- far faster than the old one was even when it was new I think. I'm not sure about 100MB/s as a guarantee, but I was definitely getting a consistent 40MB/s at the very least (I never really tested it fully since reliability is the main factor here, but everything I looked at did at least that, usually more.)So far it seems reliable. I've been using it a while and performance is still consistent. No data loss issues or anything either. Only time will truly tell, but at least it's off to a great start with generally better performance than I expected from a card in the Switch. (I don't think it can even fully utilize > U1 if even that.)

This was a perfect addition to my LG smart phone. I had been running out of space with all the videos I'd been downloading, but I popped this card in and suddenly I hace half-a-TERAbyte more of storage on my phone. And it's fast, too, and at about 6½¢ per gigabyte, the price-point was incredible! I still can't believe how inexpensive solid-state mass storage has become. And with the PNY name too!!

This may seem like a critical review, however there are two main issues at stake here. What is claimed, and what is actually possible. I bought this card because it is A2 current rated, and it seems to be a good value for a 1Tb card. The copy claims that it supports 90mb/s write, and it seems like the card will actually do this speed. The caveat here is that it gets pretty hot after about 25gb sustained writing, and with my UGREEN SD Card Reader USB 3.0 Type C OTG Memory Card Adapter Portable it will start unmounting and remounting from Windows 10, and it gets hot to the touch. I measured it with an infrared sensor and it showed 95d F. The ambient in this case was 76d F. This seems to also be true of other brands as well, my Samsung EVO 512GB A1 U3, and 256GB SD cards do the same thing. I've solved this problem for the most part by using an extender cable to plug the SD card reader into. Essentially this cable limits the speed to 40mb/s. Cards don't get hot enough to freak out at this sustained write speed, but it kind of defeats the purpose.That said, I think in most applications the writes are burst and aren't 1-2 hours of sustained 85mb/s transfer. This card seems to get the least hot over time at 40mb/s continuous multi hour writes. Barely warm to the touch. Another caveat is that this card draws enough current from my USB hub to weaken the radio range on my logitech mouse. I have not yet tested continuous high speed reads, but I expect they would have less impact. What does this mean? When recording movies, even a nice high quality movie at 4k won't come close to 40mb/s throughput, so this card will probably not overheat in a camera. I think the Windows 10 sustained copy stress test is probably the hardest you could drive it, and doesn't represent real world use in a camera or phone.Take aways: All SD cards I've tested suffer from overheating in sustained read or write at full speed for more than 10 minutes. This card seems to overheat less than other cards that I own @40mb/s, Samsung EVO A1 cards to be specific.So far none of my cards have failed even after overheat mount and dismounts, which notably did not corrupt the data.Limiting Data transfer rates to reasonable real world applications indicates that this card is a good value for the money in terms of performance and size.Why did I rate it four stars? I considered rating it three stars. It's good, not amazing. I can't expect to run a copy to a card at full USB3.0 spec for 100 minutes (500gb of files) without running into issues, and so I'm forced to use a cable extender to limit the bandwith. If it could run at 85mb/s full write for hours without burning up, that would be a 5 star review. @40mb/s it gets a little warm. Compare this to my EVO 512 card which gets hot at 40mb/s.I have tested the Samsung cards in other card readers, and the same issues arise, so I don't think the USB reader itself is the issue. Specifically I had similar issues with my FALWEDI USB/HDMI/SDcard/Ethernet/VGA adapter that I have on my laptop. It is a C type USB, and can also run at 90ish mb/s.Edit: But wait you say, doesn't this card have a V30 rating? It's only rated at 30mb/s. Yes, so why does it have the sales copy saying 150mb/s read and 90mb/s write? I don't know, and the card slowly slows down to 20-30mb/s for very long writes. So the card is mostly doing what the numbers on it say, and the sales copy is a bit hype.It would be interesting to setup a peltier cooler to the SD card reader to see if you could run a sustained write at full speed. I'll leave this as an exercise for the reader.Update: I did actually set up a peltier cooler to cool the SD card, and it is possible to do sustained high speed data transfers using it.

Good quality

Update 2025: I have to recommend this card for SteamDeck use, but PNY has released a newer version. I traveled, gamed, read from, and wrote to this SD card for 3 years. I did not baby it and I used it for everything the SteamDeck can do from Gaming to Desktop mode. I abused and hammered this SD card with data. It finally died, but it held up greater than my expectations compared to competitors.Old Review: This is the fastest of the 1TB V30 SD cards that is compatible with the Steam Deck. You can buy slower SD cards and only notice the speed in a few titles. However this SD card is one of the SD cards that formats without any additional interaction from the Steam Deck OS side. Moving files from the M.2 Storage to this SD Card is also faster than most other SD cards. The SD card did not eject or come lose during drop tests, nor impact tests. If you have the few extra dollars for this SD card, it is defiantly a great choice for the Steam Deck.I have not tested this card in any v30, v60, v90 compatible Camera. I only tested this card in the SteamDeck.

works great for my dashcam
