Kingston microSDXC Canvas Go! Plus 64 GB

One of the most affordable A2 and U3 class memory cards

Kingston's range of memory cards is dominated by Canvas React drives, while the Canvas Go! represents a compromise between speed and cost. And when this card came to us for tests, it turned out that there was little point in overpaying for an older model.

Speed higher than advertised

Kingston microSDXC Canvas Go! Plus with a volume of 64 GB according to the passport gives out 170 and 70 MB / s when reading and writing, and in fact even jumps over the set bar. In the synthetic tests of CrystalDiskMark and ATTO, we got a slight spread in numbers, but in general terms, the real speed of the card turned out to be almost 30% higher than the claimed one. And this is already entering the territory of the V90 standard and a reserve for shooting in 8K or 4K with a frame rate of more than 60. The card also has a high IOPS (we are talking about A2 class), so it will successfully serve as a quality backup for the ever-crowded camera phone storage.

Nothing to be sorry about

The memory card comes with a traditional SD adapter for use in photographic equipment. The card also boasts excellent endurance - we are talking about water resistance, shock resistance, vibration resistance, protection against harmful radiation and a wide range of operating temperatures. Considering that this is one of the most affordable memory cards, which simultaneously corresponds to the A2 and U3 classes, it can be used with equal success both to expand the memory of a smartphone and to shoot nature from a drone somewhere in the Siberian forest. Oh yeah, and it also has a lifetime warranty.
