User Manual
FAQ
What devices are compatible with this Kingston microSDXC card?
This Kingston Canvas Select Plus microSDXC card is compatible with any device that supports the microSDXC format, including Android smartphones, tablets, action cameras, drones, portable gaming consoles, and other electronics with microSD card slots. The card uses the standard microSDXC form factor and interface, ensuring broad compatibility across devices designed for expandable storage.
What does the V10 video speed class rating mean?
The V10 video speed class rating indicates this card can sustain a minimum sequential write speed of 10 MB/s, which is sufficient for recording 4K video without dropped frames or interruptions. This certification ensures reliable performance for video recording applications, making the card suitable for action cameras, smartphones, and other devices used for high-resolution video capture.
How does the A1 application performance class benefit users?
The A1 application performance class rating means this microSDXC card is optimized for running applications directly from the storage media. It delivers minimum random read performance of 1500 IOPS and random write performance of 500 IOPS, resulting in faster app loading times and more responsive behavior when applications are installed on the card rather than internal device storage.
What environmental protections does this memory card offer?
This Kingston Canvas Select Plus microSDXC card features multiple environmental protections including waterproof, temperature-proof, X-ray-proof, and shock-proof construction. These durability features help safeguard your data against water exposure, extreme temperature variations, airport security X-ray scanners, and physical impacts from drops or rough handling.
What is the difference between Class 10 and UHS-I (U1) ratings?
Class 10 and UHS-I (U1) are complementary speed class ratings that both indicate minimum sequential write performance. Class 10 guarantees a minimum write speed of 10 MB/s, while UHS-I (U1) also guarantees 10 MB/s minimum write speed but within the UHS-I bus interface framework. This card carries both certifications, ensuring consistent performance across devices that support either standard.
How much storage space is actually available on the 128 GB card?
The Kingston Canvas Select Plus microSDXC card provides 128 GB of raw storage capacity. Actual usable space will be slightly less due to formatting overhead and the difference between decimal gigabytes (marketing) and binary gigabytes (operating system reporting). Typically, you can expect approximately 119-122 GB of available storage space after formatting, depending on the file system and device requirements.
