Amazon Basics 128GB microSDXC
Score: 58/100Rankings
The Patriot LX 128 GB 2-pack offers solid read performance and rugged durability at a good price, making it suitable for Full HD video and mobile storage. Write speeds are modest and the warranty is limited, so power users may look elsewhere.
The Amazon Basics 128 GB microSDXC offers high-performance U3, A2 and V30 ratings at a budget-friendly price, with rugged IPX6 waterproofing and a full-size SD adapter. It's well suited for action cameras, drones and Android devices, though the lowest-capacity models can suffer slower writes and it isn't compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2.
