I haven't heard from Lexar in a long time. Are these any good?

Samsung cards are only a few bucks more, and I generally trust them. The 512GB models are actually the same price.

I've had one of these in my Steam Deck for over a year now. It's fine. The steam deck gets it hot enough to be painful but I'm assuming that's just the consequence of a higher capacity card in a small space. It's never given me any trouble.

I just checked ccc, and it's the lowest it's been in a year. Only by a few bucks, but still, this is slickdeals. Wink

Amazing that they can now put an entire TB onto this little micro card. I remember when 500MB was thought to be a huge amount.

Good/Bad/Indifferent: Lexar is WD. (SanDisk is (or was) also WD, too).

A recent article says WD will divest [wccftech.com] crap to SanDisk.

this not answering your question, just doing some context and background

Micron owned the Lexar brand from 2006 to 2017. 2017 to Now Longsys a Shenzhen, China company owns the name

This is due to Micron the American company decided they were not making enough money for the risk in the boom and bust consumer flash memory market. Better to invest money in other ventures. Ironic since USB FlashCard aka Flashdrives tech was devloped in house (2004) and that is why Micron acquired Lexar. Yet the format required mass adoption and thus competition to become what it became

Sure I would buy them. Yet if the price different, if the delta is small I would go with Samsung or Sandisk.

More amazing is the new standard is slated to up to 128TB , theoretically.
I never thought XC would reach it's slated 2TB capacity but it finally did recently

San Disk is absolute trash
I will never bit that crap again after getting burned so many times.
Every San 💩 card I have with a capacity greater than 128GB is pure 💩
They constantly refuse to be written to in windows for no reason and they constantly refuse to unlock 🔓
I sit for hours sometimes days trying to get their card to write, they eventually do but only after wasting no less that six hours and trying 10 different readers and 40 different adapters.
No rhyme or reason to it as whenever I think I found a reader or adapter it likes the next time it doesn't work.

Also I am expecting these XC cards to have major price drop when the switch 2 is released and the required sd express standard is needed to run some games.
