Samsung 256GB PRO Plus UHS-I microSDXC Memory Card

180/130 MB/s

4K Video · Burst Shooting · Fast Transfer

180MB/s sequential read handles transferring large 4K video files to a laptop quickly — a 10GB video file moves in under a minute. 130MB/s write keeps pace with 4K recording at up to 60fps and sustained high-resolution burst shooting without the camera’s internal buffer filling up and forcing a pause. V30 (Video Speed Class 30) guarantees a sustained minimum write speed of 30MB/s, the threshold required for reliable 4K UHD video capture on compatible devices. U3 (UHS Speed Class 3) confirms the same minimum write speed for devices that reference the UHS speed class system. Both ratings are guaranteed minimums — the PRO Plus consistently delivers its rated speeds under real-world conditions.

A2 Performance

4,000 Read IOPS · 2,000 Write IOPS

A2 (Application Performance Class 2) is the SD Association’s rating for cards capable of running apps smoothly when used as phone storage. It requires 4,000 random read IOPS and 2,000 random write IOPS — the type of small-file random access that apps perform constantly during operation. Without A2 performance, apps stored on a microSD card lag noticeably compared to internal storage. The PRO Plus’s A2 rating means it can store and run apps, games and media without the sluggishness that affects budget cards. For Android devices that support adoptable storage or app installation to microSD, the A2 rating is the essential threshold.

6-Proof · 10-Year Warranty

Built to Survive — Backed for a Decade

Samsung’s six-layer protection covers: waterproof (up to 72 hours in seawater), temperature-proof (-25°C to 85°C operating), X-ray proof (up to 100mGy — equivalent to airport security), magnet-proof (up to 15,000 gauss — stronger than an MRI), drop-proof (up to 5 metres) and wearout-proof (up to 10,000 insertion cycles). These are verified performance thresholds, not marketing claims. The 10-year limited warranty is direct from Samsung — if the card fails under normal use within a decade, Samsung replaces it. Note: the six-proof protection applies to the card itself; the included SD adapter is not covered by the same certification.
