Several storage manufacturers have consistently been churning out 1TB microSD cards in droves, but to get one that offers speed and an acceptable price is a different story. Fortunately, today is not the day when you will encounter any trouble because the Lexar PLAY is available for just $69.49 on Amazon. With its 1TB of storage, you can forget those worrying and irritating ‘low space’ warnings.
With the recent wave of gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck, ASUS’ ROG Ally, and others flooding the market, 1TB microSD cards like these will come in real handy. Apart from the storage bump, the Lexar PLAY also delivers a performance increase, with read speeds up to 160MB/s proving useful when opening up apps quickly or firing up games in record time. If you want to transfer data onto this microSD card, the sequential write speeds of 100MB/s will allow you to move your files quickly from one machine to another.
Additionally, when it comes to video playback, the Lexar PLAY can handle large 1080p, 1440p, and 4K clips without breaking a sweat. Remember that this storage card does not ship with any SD adapter, and you will have to purchase that separately. However, if you want a microSD card that offers this accessory in a bundle from Lexaro, we recommend getting the 1TB Professional 1066x. This card is going for $76.49 on Amazon and reaches the same 160MB/s read speeds as the Lexar PLAY.
However, its biggest advantage apart from the SD card adapter bundled in the package is that its write speeds can go up to 130MB/s instead of 100MB/s on the Lexar PLAY. Then again, if you want to save a few bucks and get better value, you will likely not find a better pick than this.
