Lexar ArmorLexar Armor

Lexar expands its Armor Series, known for its reliability and durability, with the introduction of the Lexar Armor Gold SDXC UHS-II Card, a memory card designed with a stainless-steel core for enhanced strength and resilience.

 

The new card is designed for professional photographers, videographers, and content creators who need both rugged durability and high-speed performance. Built to withstand tough environments, it delivers reliability without compromising speed.

 

With a stainless-steel core, the card offers pressure resistance up to 370 Newtons, making it 37 times stronger than standard memory cards. This added strength provides protection against bending, impacts, and extreme temperatures. Its IP68 rating ensures resistance to water, dust, and drops of up to five meters, making it a dependable choice for creators working in demanding conditions.

 

With write speeds of up to 205MB/s and read speeds of up to 280MB/s, the Armor Gold SDXC UHS-II Card enables professionals to capture high-resolution 6K and 4K video without frame drops or lag. Classified with a V60 video speed rating, it ensures smooth, reliable recording for sports, commercial projects, and documentary filmmaking.

 

Designed for durability, the card features a rugged, ribless construction that removes fragile components like the write-protection switch, reducing the risk of breakage. The rugged steel construction also helps to dissipate heat and prevent overheating. Laser-engraved markings replace traditional labels, ensuring key information remains visible even with extensive use.

The card is available in sizes up to 1TB.
