Transcend Memory Card vs Kingston Canvas Go! Plus 128GB microSDXC Card

The Kingston Canvas Go! Plus is the stronger card on paper: U3/V30 rating, up to 200 MB/s read and much faster writes, which matters for 4K video, drones and action cameras. The Transcend card is a solid Class 10 microSD with a 95 MB/s read and 45 MB/s write, and its 4.8 rating from 4,400 owners shows it holds up in phones, tablets and cameras. Buy the Kingston for sustained video and large-file transfers; buy the Transcend for everyday phone and tablet storage where a plain Class 10 card is enough.

• Choose the Transcend if you want a dependable, well-reviewed card for phone, tablet or camera storage and don't shoot long 4K clips or move big files often.
• Choose the Kingston Canvas Go! Plus if you record 4K video, fly a drone, use an action camera or move large files and want the faster V30-rated card.
