The Lexar 128GB ARMOR GOLD UHS-II SDXC Memory Card is the world’s first stainless-steel-clad SD card, engineered for photographers and videographers who demand uncompromising speed and rugged reliability. With blazing read speeds of up to 280 MB/s and write speeds of up to 210 MB/s on the UHS-II bus, it handles everything from raw bursts and high-speed continuous shooting to seamless 6K, 4K, and Full HD video capture.
Built for the most demanding conditions, this Lexar ARMOR GOLD card carries an IP68 rating against dust and water, withstands drops of up to 16.4 ft, and delivers a pressure resistance of 370N — 37 times higher than standard SD cards. Its ribless design and the absence of a fragile write-protect switch eliminate the most common points of physical failure, while laser-engraved labeling ensures surface markings never wear off.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Lexar 128GB ARMOR GOLD UHS-II SDXC card record 6K video without dropping frames?
Yes. The card’s V60 speed class guarantees a minimum write speed of 60 MB/s at all times, and its maximum write speed reaches 210 MB/s, making it fully capable of recording 6K/30p, 4K, and Full HD video without lag or dropped frames.
How durable is the Lexar ARMOR GOLD card — is it waterproof?
The card holds an IP68 rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust and water. It also withstands drops of up to 16.4 ft (5 m) and pressure of up to 370N, and operates across temperature extremes from -13 to 185°F, making it one of the most rugged SD cards available.
Does the Lexar ARMOR GOLD SDXC card work with standard UHS-I cameras and card readers?
Yes. While the card is optimised for UHS-II devices — where it achieves its full 280 MB/s read and 210 MB/s write speeds — it is backwards compatible with UHS-I cameras and readers, though speeds will be limited to UHS-I maximums in those devices.
