In today’s fast-paced world of content creation, whether you’re shooting a travel vlog in the wild or capturing a 6K video of a live event, your equipment must be able to withstand the harshest environments. Professional photographers, videographers, and creators are no strangers to the risks associated with traditional SD cards—physical damage, wear, and the constant battle with unreliable performance. But what if there was a solution that could change the game? Enter Lexar’s new ARMOR GOLD and ARMOR SILVER PRO SDXC™ UHS-II Cards. Designed to survive what ordinary cards can’t, these are the world’s first stainless-steel SD cards, boasting strength, reliability, and impressive speed.
What Makes Lexar ARMOR Cards So Special?
- Unmatched Durability with Stainless Steel Build
Say goodbye to flimsy plastic SD cards that crack, break, or degrade after heavy use. Lexar’s ARMOR SD cards are built with a stainless-steel exterior, making them 37 times stronger than conventional SD cards. Whether you’re hiking up a mountain, shooting in a dusty desert, or shooting in the rain, these cards are designed to resist physical wear and tear. No more worrying about cracked plastic when you’re on the go.
But that’s not all. The stainless-steel design doesn’t just look sleek; it’s also backed by the protection of an IP68 rating. This means the ARMOR SD cards are water-resistant, dustproof, and shockproof, capable of surviving drops from up to 5 meters. Whether you’re caught in a downpour or accidentally drop your gear, your data remains safe.
- Extreme Temperature and Static Resistance
One of the worst things that can happen to a photographer or videographer is losing precious footage due to overheating or static electricity. Lexar’s ARMOR cards are rigorously tested in the company’s Quality Lab to ensure they remain safe from issues caused by heat or static electricity. This extra layer of protection gives users confidence that their valuable content won’t be compromised.
- Speed That Keeps Up with Professional Demands
As content creation becomes more demanding, so too do the requirements for data transfer and storage. Lexar’s ARMOR GOLD and ARMOR SILVER PRO cards are built with high-speed performance in mind, delivering up to 280MB/s read speed. The ARMOR GOLD card features write speeds of up to 210MB/s, perfect for seamless 6K video recording without frame drops. The SILVER PRO card, while offering slightly lower write speeds at 160MB/s, is still more than capable of handling high-definition recording.
For creators dealing with large files or quick turnarounds, the high-speed transfers make editing, backup, and post-production work smoother and faster than ever.
- Video Speed Class 60 (V60) Support for 6K Video Recording
With the rise of 4K and 6K video production, creators need SD cards that can keep up with the intense data flow of high-definition recording. Both the ARMOR GOLD and ARMOR SILVER PRO cards support Video Speed Class 60 (V60), which ensures uninterrupted 6K video recording. Whether you’re documenting a sports event or capturing cinematic scenes, you’ll never have to worry about dropped frames or corrupted files.
- A Rugged, Simplified Design for Maximum Reliability
Lexar’s ARMOR SD cards are designed without unnecessary features like ribs or write-protection switches, giving them a cleaner, more rugged structure. This design choice not only enhances their durability but also prevents potential failures caused by moving parts, making the cards safer and more reliable for fieldwork.
- Data Recovery for Peace of Mind
Accidents happen. Files get deleted, and cards can get accidentally formatted. But don’t panic—Lexar’s ARMOR SD cards come with the Lexar Recovery Tool, which allows you to restore lost files and give you peace of mind that your content can be recovered if something goes wrong.
