As the world’s first stainless-steel SD memory cards, the Armor Gold and Silver Pro SD cards are designed specifically to address common issues faced by professional photographers who experience physical damage and wear with traditional plastic cards.
The Armor series SD cards feature a pressure resistance of up to 370 Newtons, which is 37 times stronger than normal SD cards. These cards deliver far greater strength and resilience to provide exceptional protection against bending, breaking, and everyday wear. The design ensures these cards can endure heavy impacts and dissipate heat for long-lasting performance.
Equipped with an IP68 rating, the Armor series cards are dust-resistant, water-resistant, and certified to withstand drops up to 5 meters, making them ideal for outdoor use. Their simplified designs eliminate ribs and the write-protection switch, further enhancing their durability. Laser engravings replace labels to ensure surface information never wears off. The cards also features anti-magnetic, anti-static, temperature resistance, X-ray protection, and UV proof, to transcend all challenges in shooting, ensuring users can rely on them in various scenarios.
Despite being made from stainless steel, the Armor SD cards fully meet the thickness requirements of the SD Association (SDA), ensuring they can be safely used in the camera slot without causing damage to the slot. Additionally, the Armor card has undergone rigorous testing in the Lexar Quality Laboratory to guarantee it won’t experience issues due to overheating or static electricity.1 The super protections and extensive compatibility make the Armor SD cards an ideal choice for outdoor professionals in photo and video shooting.
Performance
In addition to the robust armor shielding, Lexar also designed these cards for users seeking unparalleled performance. The Armor Gold SD card boasts a blazing-fast write speed of up to 210MB/s1, while the Armor Silver PRO SD card offers a maximum write speed of 160MB/s1. Both cards feature a Video Speed Class 60 (V60), allowing users to seamlessly capture 6K footage without interruptions. And when paired with a USB 3.2 Card Reader, creators can enjoy even faster transfers up to 280MB/s1, quickly and reliably transfer photos and videos. Users can offload and get back out in the field, streamlining post-production workflows anywhere, anytime.
The Armor Gold and Silver Pro SD cards cater to a diverse range of users, from professionals working in extreme conditions to creatives seeking reliable storage for their next big project. Users also get lifetime access to the Lexar Recovery Tool to help restore accidentally deleted files and formatted cards or drives, plus a limited lifetime warranty2.
