Lexar Armor Gold SDXC: This memory card doesn’t break under pressure
The Lexar ARMOR GOLD SDXC UHS-II is not a standard SDXC card. It is a metal memory card that won't bend or crack. It is designed especially for photographers and content creators who take their memory cards as seriously as their cameras. They know that you need a fast, sturdy card if you photograph or film every day in dust clouds, with muddy boots stuck to the ground or in sideways rain. Because when the sand is flying around your ears, you want to be sure of one thing: that every photo and every second of video is safely stored.

Robustness at its best - an SDXC card with stainless steel casing
This Lexar SDXC card not only feels different, it is different. It starts with the exterior. Instead of plastic, this SD card has a stainless steel casing: sturdy, temperature-resistant and resistant to heavy impact. Where a standard card quickly cracks or bends when dropped, this card remains intact - even after a fall of five metres onto a hard surface.
Durability has also been considered in the details. The often fragile write-protect switch has simply been omitted. And there are no longer any ridges at the back that can break or trap dirt. And instead of a sticker that peels off or fades, the text is engraved in the steel. A memory card that can take a beating, and looks the part too.
SDXC UHS-II memory card with IP68 rating
But it goes beyond just physical strength. This card also withstands external influences: water, dust, magnetism, static electricity, UV radiation and extreme temperatures. Thanks to its IP68 rating, it continues to function after immersion in water and is completely dustproof. Because anyone who takes their camera to the ends of the earth needs to be able to rely on their data being stored securely.
A fast SDXC memory card is an adrenaline boost for your camera
You can work with the sharpest lens, the best sensor and the fastest shutter – but if your memory card can't keep up, you're still 1-0 down. A loving moment at a wedding or a spectacular jump during a competition – without a fast and stable card, chances are you'll miss it.
With the Lexar® ARMOR GOLD SDXC™ UHS-II in your camera, you can capture those moments. With write speeds of up to 205 MB/s and a V60 rating, this card keeps up effortlessly when recording 6K video or shooting bursts. With this speed, you won't experience any lag, loading bars or lost frames. The card works in the background to ensure that every pixel is safely stored.
"Speed is not a luxury. It's the difference between almost getting the shot and getting it just right."
And if you want to transfer your material, the read speed of 280 MB/s ensures that your files are on your laptop in no time. This means you no longer have to wait endlessly when exporting RAW files or long video recordings. Your workflow remains smooth, even after the shoot.
Why take risks with crucial moments? In a world where timing is everything, your storage shouldn't be a weak link. The Lexar ARMOR GOLD card isn't just for tough conditions, it's also for top-level speed.
