Choosing the Right SanDisk microSD

What’s the difference between microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC?

The main difference is capacity and the file system used. microSDHC is typically up to 32GB, while microSDXC is 64GB and higher. Many modern devices support microSDXC, but older devices may only support microSDHC. Learn more here: SDHC vs SDXC explained.

What microSD speed rating do I need for 4K video?

For most 4K recording, choose U3 or V30 minimum to help avoid dropped frames. If you’re unsure what the symbols mean, see: SD card symbols explained.

What’s best for dash cams and security cameras?

For continuous recording, choose High Endurance microSD cards designed for constant overwrite. Pair that with enough capacity (often 128GB+) and format in-device on a regular schedule.

Which microSD card is best for Nintendo Switch?

Most gamers should choose microSDXC (64GB+) and many prefer 128GB–256GB+ depending on downloads. See our picks here: best Nintendo Switch memory cards.

What do A1 / A2 ratings mean on a microSD card?

A1 and A2 are app performance ratings that can improve how apps behave on supported Android devices (faster loading and smoother performance). For phones and tablets, A1/A2 can be a helpful factor alongside capacity.

Do I need to format a new microSD card?

It’s recommended—especially when moving between devices. Many cameras and dash cams work best when you format in-device. Follow this guide: how to format an SD card.

How can I avoid counterfeit microSD cards?

Buy from reputable sellers, avoid unusually low prices, and verify packaging and capacity. Authentic cards reduce the risk of fake capacity, early failure, and data loss.

What should I do if my microSD card is corrupted?

Stop using it, try recovery steps, and avoid writing new files to the card. Use our guide: recover photos from a corrupted memory card.
